Superb win and what a TD to clinch it!

Steelers at Lions tonight is huge for both teams

 

[Dire Wolf]

Eventful end to the first half of the Browns v Bills game. Browns RB Judkins has his leg broken after a ferocious but legal tackle by Matt Milano, Josh Allen gets sacked 1 inch from a safety, injures his ankle on the play, Myles Garrett thinks he's tied the NFL sack record but a team-mate tapped Allen down a millisecond before he did, Browns miss a FG on a bad snap as the half ends. Nothing to see here then.

Allen cleared to return too after x-rays on his foot.

 

[Wellen Wolf]

Well, well, well. What a last gasp win for the Seahawks. A simply incredible comeback win worthy of a final! Noisiest match this season and that will be no surprise.

Highlights are well worth watching - especially in over time.

The Chiefs getting hammered by the Titans is a sight to behold.

Bucs @ Panthers and Bills @ Browns going down to the wire.

Horrendous pick from Baker gifts the win to the Panthers. Him and Mike Evans on completely different pages.

More on Evans than Baker for me; not sure why Evans cut a 180 and took his eyes off Mayfield. Ransom wasn’t so tight to him that he needed to create more space, IMO.

I like Todd Bowles but he’s just not an NFL head coach. Really no excuse for Tampa collapsing like they have.

 

[Jack Regan]

You fancied Baker to get it done as he seemed to be back in moxy mode, where he'll get things done on his own if needs be (several great scrambles). However they've fallen off a cliff recently despite getting Godwin and Evans back, Egbuka looked a world beater earlier in the year too but seems to have regressed badly the last few months.

Geno Smith throws a pick 6. Thats 30 interceptions in his last 31 games.

 

[Jack Regan]

Gotta feel sorry for Brock Bowers and Maxx Crosby (despite that ridiculous extra X) being worse than the Jets, Titans and Browns takes some doing.

 

[Alan]

I don’t know the exact numbers, but head-to-field seems like the cause of the majority of concussions, and it’s almost always the fucking fake grass.

Something really needs to be done, whether it’s going to real grass (just not gonna happen) or at least adding some kind of padded layer between the concrete and turf. It’s getting sad, honestly.

Edit: it’s Pittsburgh @ Detroit in my market; Valdes-Scantling just suffered the above scenario.

A W is a W, but that was not fun. We're gonna have to play much better than that next week.

 

[Jack Regan]

Lions pretty much completely unable to stop the Pittsburgh run, killing them.

Not quite

Chaos

 

[Jack Regan]

Crazy finish that. OPI probably the right call but St Brown having the wherewithal to lateral it to Goff was some play, even if it was eventually in vain.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

And the referees take a couple of minutes to finally call "the ruling on the field is a touchdown" - crowd goes wild - before calling OPI and explaining that the game is over.

Lions defeat sees the Bears clinch a play-off spot. A sentence I didn't think I'd be writing when planning my trip to Chicago earlier this year!

@darlowolf64 I presume you adore DJ Moore? This will be his first winning season since he was in high school (usually ages 14-18 here). So, a looooong time.

Chuffed for him. Good player, great teammate.
