It was really good to avenge last year's end of game loss to them which the league apologized for.

The poor Cleveland Charlie Browns blow a kick to win it as regulation expires and then loses in OT where they chose to kick off (???) instead of receive.

To be fair, the Patriots did that one year with the Broncos and still won.


If you are a successful team like the Pats (run by Belicheck) you can get away with that without criticism either way.
If you are the Browns, you just can't. That's life when you are the most snake bit NFL franchise and "fair" just doesn't enter into the perception of their decision to kick. You have to think: "We want the ball, we want to score a TD and win." Parkey, their FG kicker had already missed 3 out of 4 on the day!

They're calling it the "Purple Reign" right now. They're super badasses, all of them. I hope they get at least 5 sacks a game from now on this season.

Nice to see you too.

I'll be honest, the first half of the game had the Vikes look like dogshit. I don't know what it is, but Zimmer must have a magic potion to hype the fucking hell outta the team. They're currently outscoring opponents 47-16 in the second half this season, I believe.

If KC's lead holds we'd have a 2 game lead over all others in the AFC East.

Why is this game going so badly for the Steelers? I'd really prefer it if they won.

I am confused by this as well, this does not seem right.

Big Ben is playing.

No turnovers.

Everyone is healthy, from what I know.

As strange as it sounds, the Eagles are looking very decent this season.

Probs would have been better to exclude the titans as well, and include an 'other' option.

Carson Wentz has the Eagles so jacked up ...and their locker room is a much happier place without Bradford. Win win plus Minn also wins. What a deal!
