SEPT. 28: Around the NFL, other games.

Someone had to start it.

Thank you - especially with the early Ireland game. Just the 14 hours of NFL action today.

 

Vikings won the toss and defered. I presume we're rooting for the Steelers to put pressure on the Ravens?

[UKBillFan]

Steelers recover a fumble and Jalen Ramsey takes it to the house. 

 

Edit: No, they don't. Mason touched the ball whilst out of bounds.

The player touched the ball while he was out of bounds. That ball was down!

Vikings get lucky , now beat the Steelers!!’

Great spot on the replay. I think that might be luck rather than judgement from Mason but the Vikings will take it.

related news to the Ireland game - on friday nite Skylar Thompson Steelers 3rd qb now on IR was jumped and robbed and suffered minor injuries in Dublin...NFL security investigating - he was the fins unkown QB who almost beat the Bills in playoffs a few years ago...

I'd have thought it could be considered close to taunting.

[FloridaSnow]

I don’t understand some of the NFL rules. If a player is already out of bounds and touches the fumble, why isn’t that illegal touching? 
 

I’m sure there’s a reason, but just seems like an odd rule.

This would be a good way to shut that kind of nonsense down.

[UKBillFan]

Not a great start for Brian O'Neill. Think he was the ineligible player down the field for the penalty, then was beaten by Patrick Queen for the sack, and now injured on the field goal.

 

Edit: No, it was Brandel who was injured, but he's walking off the field.

Gainwell TD.

[FloridaSnow]

Pulling for Pitt here. It feels wrong, but I’m rooting for all of the mediocre AFC teams to stack wins with the hope that KC has a middling record and is blocked from sneaking in as the 6/7 seed.

I hate these early games.

Plus a Steelers win might increase pressure on the Ravens too. Though in general I prefer the Vikings.

 

It was O'Neill injured on the FG. Davis had it right; the UK pundits had it wrong.

Jesus! Steelers taking it to Minnesota. 

[UKBillFan]

Metcalf TD - ran from around the Steelers 35 yard line. 14-3 and the game is threatening to get out of hand.

[Ayjent]

You always want the nfc team to beat the afc team for afc seeding reasons. Plus eff Rodgers. 

[CNYfan]

I see the Chiefs as finding a way to win games and the Ravens discovering ways to lose games. 

I believe the Ravens are better than the Chiefs, but the Chiefs are at home. 

I will have to see how all of that plays out.

If the Steelers become a threat that's down to the Bills, and any pressure on the Ravens (and the likes of the Chiefs or Chargers for the wildcard) is not a bad thing.
