He clearly grabbed his hammy as before he fell/slid.

I saw that, but the way he crumbled to the ground scared me a little, glad it was his hammy and also glad that last report is maybe not too serious.

Defense did the job. Offense crapped the bed though 

They lost the game when they ran the ball 2 times before the FG in OT.  You have to get a TD there unless you want to lose the game by giving Mahomes 3 minutes to go down to get a FG which is what happened.

Bingo. Trusted the QB to throw it 50 yards but not throw it when KC was selling out on the run the next two plays.  Should have gone for it on 4th

I was watching it wondering just what are they doing playing for a tie?  They got lucky on that 50 yarder also.  I see them cleaning house at the end of the year already.

Good effort by the Colts. They made a lot of mistakes on both sides of the ball in a tough environment. The defense is one or two injuries away from not winning a single game. But to be fair, they played toe to toe last night and made some critical stops to keep us in the game and most importantly they were so much better compared to last week. Home game against a division opponent is next. A critical game to stay in the race.

Watched the 1st couple of drives in the ATL-GB last night and Penix looked so rough I couldn’t bring myself to watch the rest. And I look at the box score just now and, wait, what happened?

1-7) Bijan

8) Packers blow

9) Mike knocked the rust off, got in a rhythm, and actually started cooking a bit

10) See 1-7

Bijan is in that category with Sayers and Faulk and Billy Sims and those guys who are just pretty runners. They’re almost elegant. It’s a pleasure watching that dude play.

Handing off to Robinson to open up London was the winning strategy last night.  London killed it for me in the Crimson Memorial league, 195 yards and no TDs, 23.90 points.

I thought he was around an average QB at Michigan about like Archie is at Texas.  I am not sure just how good of a QB the Giants can get right now in a trade.

God, forget the play on the field, how much of a lost cause must he have looked like up close for them to just flat give him away after 10 games? Even the Colts gave Richardson 15.

And the GM who got fired at the end of last season for the Vikings is the one he decided to keep JJ and let Sam Darnold go against the wishes of Kevin O'Connell.  The Giants did the Vikings a favor.

I tuned in at HT after watching episode 7 of Lanterns (excellent BTW) and was kinda surprised the Bears had the lead.  That second half, Keenum was just slinging it around like there was no tomorrow.  Pretty impressive.

RIP to Da Coach. 

An absolute legend in Chicago. 

That 1985 team remains one of the most colorful -- and best -- in NFL history. 

He was an integral part of the Bears' last two championship teams: As a player in 1963 and of course, as the coach in 1985. 

Rest easy, Iron Mike.

Oh wow.  Had he been sick. I know he’s older but the last time I saw him he looked good. That might have been years ago to be fair.

David Bailey with 8 tackles today including 3 sacks. Beast in college, beast in the league.
