I think Stafford is your league MVP if the Rams win the NFC West.

The lifespan of a diminutive running QB is pretty short. I'm not sure AZ can afford to wait for Kliff to get his act together.
Compared to some types maybe, but Russell Wilson is still going pretty strong in year 10 at age 33. As long as you avoid the big hits you can last awhile.

So Pats can be anywhere from 1 to 6 seed after this weekend?
Not a total must-win game but fairly close.

So much parity
Thank goodness for the 7-2 conference record

Colts won’t be a fun wild card opponent for someone. They’re a good team.
As of this morning, they’d play Cincy. Then if they beat the Bengals and the rest of the seedlings hold, they’d go on the road to play KC in the divisional round. Which would be a good matchup.

Of course...long way to go to get to that point but that’s the picture as of this moment.

I agree. Sure, you need a FG eventually, but you need to get the TD when you’ve got the ball inside the 10. Maybe you kick on 4th down, but not on 3rd.
I think "analytics" say that kicking the FG there sharply increases the chances of the final score looking more respectable, while decreasing the chances of "winning the game."

James Robinson is done for the day. Looked like a bad one.
I hope Robinson writes another great chapter in his underdog story, but I don’t think it will be in Jacksonville — Etienne always figured to be the primary option in 2022, and the Jags won’t want his backup to be another health question mark.

Cam’s current brain might be able to win with Cam’s current body, but we’ll never know so long as he tries to play like his 2015 self.

He tore his achilles. Awful break for him.

What’s the rehab timetable on something like that? It’s going to be harder for Robinson to find a landing spot if he won’t be ready for training camp.

Cam Akers tore his in August(maybe late July) and he was just activated. So that was 6 months. Maybe Robinson can be on that schedule and not the Klay Thompson schedule, which has been like 14 years.

Oh man, the Ravens get absolutely demolished on a call in the end zone, on a play they picked off a pass. Holding, new set of downs instead of an INT.

That’s crazy people are now coming back from those injuries in half a year.

Sony has been awesome for the Rams since passing Henderson for RB1, 17/104 with a TD through 3 quarters today.

Stafford on the other hand, has three picks.

It’s cool that KC is allowed to hold, block in the back and run pick plays with no consequences.
They are doing whatever they want. Seems like the NFL wants KC and GB to get the byes. Because they lack of calls against both is hilarious.

RedZone usually makes good decisions about what they show, but we’re getting too much of the Broncos-Raiders rock fight, and not enough of the snow game in Seattle.

At this point it looks like kc is just getting in reps before the playoffs. Come in, take care of business, get the win, next.

I’m late but whatever

The Jags having 1st and goal at the 5 with time for 4 throws to end zone and not getting a TD is bad

And whats the deal with the spike on 3rd? Just throw an out to the sideline.

Not even a little celebration from Claypool after that amazing catch. Dude is chastened.

There are only 3 games. So they will show the game that isn't in commercial.

Lawrence almost threw a puck going the other way from the 5. Thought Mosley was trusting to help the draft pick by not catching.
