Donald is fucking frightening.

Also, that’s a pretty weak fumble by Mahomes. He doesn’t seem to feel backside pressure, he loses the ball pretty easily.

This game is nuts. Hard to concentrate on work or anything other than (then?) every single snap. Compared to last year we have seen some damn good football this year.

That's 14.5 sacks and 3 forced fumbles for Donald on the year.

Defensive tackles do NOT have those kind of sack numbers. It's unheard of. Those are numbers the greatest defensive ends/outside linebackers dream of....

Will be curious to see how many carries Kareem 5 YPC Hunt ends up with tonight. Opportunity for a classic Reid “I don’t know why he didn’t touch the ball more” moment.

He's never had a season with fewer than 8 sacks. 9, 11, 8, 11, 14.5 (so far)

The guy is unbelievable.

I wonder who's better at his peak: Donald or Watt?

That's the thing, you can't really compare the two, because Watt plays on the outside, and his primary responsibility is to rush the passer. Donald is a defensive tackle, playing in the middle, so he's almost always beating a double team, and he's got a bunch more responsibility. I think if any defensive coordinator had their choice of a dominant defensive end, or a dominant defensive tackle, they'd all take the tackle, but I could be wrong.

How does Gurley have 7 touches so far? Does he have mono or something?
Hard to say.

Best guess is McVay, not unlike McDaniels, has so little respect for the KC secondary that he is gonna go after them again and again.

Plus the KC front has actually been pretty decent at the point of attack, no reason to bang your head against that wall.

In retrospect, the Celtics could use someone like Goff to take the ball inside. Stevens probably wouldnt play him though.

How did the refs somehow miss the false start by the RT on that TD run? He broke out of his stance well before the ball was snapped and that allowed him to neutralize Dee Ford. Refs are not having the best game on MNF.
