Double doink seems so cruel.

In other news

DO YOU LIKE THAT?!?!

Cousins to 3-1.

I rarely watch studio stuff so I don’t know who she is, but the lady hosting postgame has a fun energy.

would have loved to see a qb sneak for 2 yards + a spike, esp since the cowboys last year showed all the possible (and avoidable) ways it could go wrong.

Only caught the last 4 minutes of the Saints-Vikings game, though that was plenty. Without a rooting interest, I’m shocked to report I thought the NFLN broadcast team (Kugler and Sanchez????) did an excellent job with a dramatic game. And the physical production was good too, great shots of the double-doink and the reactions to it.

edit: reading @Conigliaro's Potential ’s note about the live coverage on the kicks, he’s right. But I did like those replays and reaction shots. Also refreshing for them not to rush to the studio too quickly as is usually the case with Sunday games.

Same for me, even rewound and called my kids over to see the kick and they loved the reaction shots.

The postgame has a pretty good vibe too unlike the other ones that have “hurry up, I’m just waiting to talk energy”.

Whoever thought those horizontal lines above and below the Commanders names on their unis was a good idea should be immediately fired. Otherwise the all blacks could look pretty cool.

What is going on with the Colts? Down 14-0 today, Have lost to the Jags, tied with the Texans and yes they beat the Chiefs but that had more to do with a rookie punt returner than anything they did.

Why are they so meh?

Tomlin definitely just challenged an incomplete vs. TD catch ruling because the crowd wanted him to and he was like fucking why not...

I think the ref got it right, but he probably should have erred on the automatic review of TD, instead of forcing Pit to use a challenge.

I do enjoy the bills being clowned on…even if it’s the Ravens

that’s some shit that happens to the pats, instead of sack and pick, it’s a 1st down

The QB they brought in to replace the shitty one they had last year is shittier.

seriously - the corpse of Matt Ryan is too much to overcome. It’s unconscionable all of the money and assets the colts have used on terrible QBs

Bills coach definitely strikes me as the kind of guy who might neglect to have his guys practice with a wet ball before a rainy game.

Surprisingly, there wasn’t a conclusive replay of that one. So I’d argue the official did the right thing by calling it as he saw it — at the end of the day, he had a better view than anyone else.
