Am I crazy or is Red Zone barely Red Zone anymore? They've been almost exclusively on NYG/DET, cutting away briefly to show highlights of other games that were clearly in the red zone for a while.

I wouldn't care but that's the game on my tv already.
They've always shaded the coverage late in the season toward games with playoff implications. So lots of Lions-Giants and Titans-Chiefs today, and virtually nothing from Browns-Bills.

Why are people talking about how scary the Chiefs offense is when the offense is scoring less 20 points a game recently.

Scored 20 points against the Falcons
Scored 20 against the Broncos with 6 of those coming in OT.
Scored 14 against the Raiders
Scored 17 against the Bucs

This is a team that is getting a lot of Return TD's from hill and D scoring points.

Take Hill out of the game and the offense is doing very little.

Odd, because there's actually literally nothing to the Browns-Bills

I could be wrong but I feel like that's a fundamental misunderstanding on their part of why people watch the channel.

Chiefs have strong line play on both sides of the ball, good running game, and a defense that's adept at forcing turnovers. That's a terrific blueprint for upsetting a more talented team. They've also got a better HFA than most teams.

There has been plenty of coverage from the other games today, except for the Browns game because it's the Browns.

Also, huge fumble by DET on the Giants 1.

Totally agree, but all the talk is about how scary their offense is now and that is really not true.

People make jokes about Brady throwing 3 yard passes as hyperbole, but I think Alex Smith legit throws 90% of his passes 3 yards or less.

Nice bit of Flaccoing by Blake Bortles.

And a nice sense of humor by Ed Hochuli.

Justin Tucker just kicked a 47 yard field goal that was still rising as it went through the uprights. Jesus that guy is insane.

Watching Burfict get destroyed in Pittsburgh makes me warm and fuzzy inside.
Doesn't make me feel good to root for a guy to get hurt (especially a head injury), but that's where I am too when it comes to Burfict.
