Travor Lawrence with a truly atrocious decision with a red zone INT that was thrown right to Houston.

Then Stingley tries to return it from deep in the end zone and gets tackled on the 2.

So a couple of poor choices.

He keeps craving contact like that, he's going to get killed. NFL defensive players aren't cuddly like his best friend's mom.
Wasn’t it his mom’s best friend? I can’t keep track.

How long is Atlanta going to waste a season with Mariota? Ridder could be terrible but at least you’re trying something. What’s the point of drafting guys like Pitts and London otherwise?

Pitts is awful, so that doesn't matter, especially because he's currently hurt.

And why throw Ridder to the wolves when he's not ready?

LAC completes a pass that is called a TD. To me, looked like he didn't get the 2nd foot in.

Turns out, he got 0 feet in.

Good little call there by the ref.

Pitts had one of the best rookie TE seasons of all time and is now stuck in a dreadful offense with a terrible QB. How is he awful?

What’s your evidence for Mariota being terrible? His advanced metrics are somewhere around league average. I’d be surprised if anyone in that locker room wishes Matty Ice was still there.

He is bottom 5-10 in yards, completions, attempts, %, touchdowns, and has 6 turnovers. He is bad at quarterbacking this year.

Quinnen Williams stiff arming Tyreke Hill when trying to run a fumble in was great

Bears WR, trying to get a hero instead of trying to get OB because the clock is an issue, is stripped and Chicago now loses.

There are so many dumb plays.

This Brian Robinson story is wild. Picking up first downs in the 4th quarter a few weeks after getting shot twice in the leg!
