That flag came out so late on the return, but my gosh what a kick for the fg!

McPherson hits a 63-yarder at the half!

Defensive linemen do it every week. You might not like it but that's the rule. They have to put their arm down to brace the fall or slide off the QB as they fall to the ground.

Conservation of momentum.  If they want players to defy the laws of physics then play touch.

Feels like it's going to be one of those hate-watching Sundays where initially it looks like everything is going our way then inexorably everything  turns the other way

A tale as old as time…

How are the jets icing Baltimore's run game so bad?

Swarming to the ball.  Active LBs.

Would anyone be okay with a Patriots win if both the Chiefs/Ravens lose honest question. I know we want all 3 to lose clearly.

AFC is a dream for how the NFL wants their league to work. 
 

Some teams have elite QB’s and not much else. 
 

Others have mediocre/rookie contract QB’s and a ton of talent around them. 
 

And this is what you get. 

Unfortunately, the Pats have an elite QB on a rookie deal…

I think “Father Time” is walking up to Derrick Henry’s door…

 

You might be right, but given how great he was last season, and how he played week 1 this season, I feel like it's a mental thing.

 

Just like Lamar and the rest of that team, they have adopted the attitude of their head coach, which is being a scummy front runner

What the hell is Nate Burleson wearing? Looks like a bad costume from the 60s Star Trek.

This was my favorite elite play of the day by him

W the kicking talent and the ball they use now, we are going to see teams to for 60+ regularly, which means a good first down or two little ones off of a near average kick off start of your own 35 is a 3 point drive.

 

Kinda tiring the game into basketball

Give the league a minute to figure him out.

Football related- what the heck is Nate Burleson wearing today?

Yeah but prior mid 70s is still going back 50 years lol. It's a wild stat

 

I added that some teams just don't play well in certain stadiums, even during different decades and coaching staffs.

 

One of the Bills' house of horrors is Reliant Stadium. It's almost like the old Indian burial ground curse or something metaphysical and paranormal.

It's not just the QB as the entire team is playing good. Both offense and defense are top 10 this season. They went from pure dodo under Belichick to really good now. It's also not just the HC as their GM is doing it right too.

[SC STATE NUPE]

Imma be honest, no team in the AFC scares me watching these games. I think all the teams look so flawed because all the squads are truly equal. I don’t think record matters. Just get in and be hot at that time… Indy, New England, & Denver all have very inexperienced playoff squads. Aaron Rodgers is almost my age and that’s not a good thing!🤣🤣🤣 Baltimore looks like they’re almost on “E”, and the Chiefs have to play like it’s the Super Bowl every week. That’s not sustainable and a disaster waiting to happen!!!

Mahomes has thrown 22 times for 117 yards
