Andy's mask sticking out with all that airspace looks weird. It's like the front of a speedo with the straps changed.

Are they not flexing games as much this year? Sort of a surprising score at the half, but Browns Titans game would have been a much bigger marquee matchup than this.

The biggest improvement in NFL play over my lifetime might be the ability of receivers to get their feet down to make a completion. It has become an art.

There is some real talent in Denver
patrick will be gone after this season but sutton is better than him

there is but denver must commit to a running game and not throw every down puls denver needs to find a way to keep both simmons and s harris

Collinsworth should know speed better than I do because he had ridiculous speed coming out of HS, but Pat looks fast to me in games.

Kelce is 31 and hasn’t slowed down even a little.
He didn’t play in the NFL until 25, and he gets to play along with Hill and Mahomes. He’s a relatively fresh 31 as NFL TE go, and he is in an ideal situation.

If Tony Gonzalez - a real unicorn - is any barometer, he has another season or two of top end play in him.

And he's taken some serious shots over the years. He's a great player. Doesn't block like Gronk once did, but he's a hell of a player anyway. Helps having an all-time great talent at QB, of course, but still.

I think we have to throw out a lot of past info on age. Those guys were living hard lives (booze, smoking, cocaine) and had way worse medical treatment and procedures (PED science has also improved).

Tony Gonzalez doesn’t fit your hypo. Nor does Jason Witten.

Tight end is a brutal position, even for guys who don’t exclusively play in-line. I’m extremely doubtful all the green drink in the world is gonna have Kelce bringing in 1200 yards at age 34-35.

Tim Patrik is an interesting potential Patriot to track. He's an RFA, but DEN has a lot invested in WR so they'll probably try to work a trade

Guess the refs listened to Mahomes as usual and didn't keep the flag on Hill. Well Hill's such a great wholesome guy otherwise, so I see why they wouldn't.

What is that contraption Reid is wearing on his face; he'd be better served wearing that welders helmet he was sporting earlier in the year.

Can you get flagged for taunting while the play is still live?
I don't know if they've done anything to change the rules since, but back in 2013 Golden Tate was penalized for taunting and fined around $8,000 when waving to an opposing DB for 30 yards on the way to the end zone. Don't know if the "taunt" by Hill is as bad but certainly the act is more premeditated.

That was a fumble. Denver should have challenged to get the extra yards because the recovery was clear.
