      Underdog weekend,so far. Make it 4.

        I cannot figure out how Brady keeps coming back from these hopeless deficits. It's like even the opponents expect it and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.

        Very pleased to see Stafford find a way to win in those final 42 seconds that the GOAT left on the clock.

          both games today were fantastic

          I wanted KC to win but I think the OT rules suck, both teams should get the ball

            Unbelievable finish. Could not believe Buffalo couldn't keep Mahomes off the scoreboard for just :17

            ...and their offense never saw the field again.

              I'm a huge Stafford fan, since his high school.
              Go, Matthew!

                I went 0-4 in confidence and I'm okay with it

                The 4 teams I wanted to win did win, KC hosts Cincy instead of going to Tennessee and SF and LA face off again. Could be a repeat of Mahomes vs Jimmy G

                  I also think both teams should get the ball. But was anyone else surprised when Buffalo kicked it into the endzone instead of a squib kick at end of regulation? That would have taken more time off the clock though Mahomes did have 3 time outs to work with, but still....

                    The Buffalo defense was asked to hold for, what, like 13 seconds. Maybe it was 17 seconds. Both the kickoff team (as noted, not forcing the clock to run) and the D made stupid calls (cover-zero? really???) and executed poorly.
                    It was an epic fail from the league's #1 overall defense. Good chance it will cost Bills DC Leslie Frazier a job offer.

                    • otoh wrt OT sudden death, if the other team is guaranteed a touch they get the advantage of knowing what they need. The team getting the ball first doesn't have 4 downs to score a TD, they have to consider a FG on their 4th down

                      • My comment about being surprised they kicked into end zone was my immediate reaction. I keep going back and forth as to how to handle OT and know the "defense has to hold" but defense is only part of the game. Play a 10 minute OT and let both teams have at least one chance.

                        Yes, it was 13 seconds as oppose to 7-8 seconds from the 40? Even with Mahomes at QB I would have short kicked it.

                        • I like the hire of Ryan Poles as GM for the Bears and also that they are allowing him to pick the HC even if he is going to interview the three candidates that management likes. Hopefully he will talk to Harbaugh to see if he has any interest, though I like Flores.

                          • Bears went with Eberflus, the DC at Indy, as their new head coach.

                            Also, it's Twitter-official: Big Ben Roethlisberger has retired.

                            • We shall see if the Bears hired the right guys... One can only hope
                              Keep on Civin'

                              • Not who I expected them to hire. As Ming says, we shall have to wait and see.
                                Not surprised by Big Ben's retirement. I think Brady may retire as well.
