Playing “Touch of Gray” as the outro on a closeup of anguished Pittsburgh players was solid work.

A dumb guilty pleasure on NFL Sundays: find a good player having a very bad day, and then go to their comment section on the Yahoo fantasy app to see their owners losing it. Burrow getting it bad today.
I didn’t know this existed and now I am deeply amused. These are the same people that comment on those illegal stream sites, right? Buncha freaks.

I'm not sure they actually called them "offsetting". Dean Blandino said something about them both being post-possession fouls, after the punt was in the air, but I don't understand why the play was allowed to stand, and how the Falcons got to benefit so massively from the spot. (That horsecollar tackle almost literally won the game for the tackling team - Carolina went 3 and out and had to punt from their own end zone, and the Falcons were able to go up by two scores from the great field position that resulted.)
So when there are fouls on both teams and a change of possession, they basically wipe out the foul by the offense if the defense got the ball with clean hands. I didn’t see the play but it sounds like that’s what they did (Foul by A didn’t happen, enforce the foul by the receiving team).

The reason for that is let’s say you have an interception, it would be unfair to have both teams commit fouls after the turnover and the result (offsetting fouls) give the ball back to the offense

NCAA let’s the defense choose how they want it enforced but it looks like the NFL doesn’t have that option
