Well, once again we beat the Chiefs in the regular season.

Make sure you do the same in the playoffs! Although hopefully you won’t get the chance because the Chiefs don’t make it 😄

Ok - I'm newish to the NFL, have been watching Redzone and the odd game for two or three years now. I enjoy it, but I'm miles from really understanding what goes on.

 

Can anyone explain - in the Raiders/Jags game, am I right to think the Raiders going for the 2 point conversion in overtime was daft?

Not really. Defense was tired and there is enough time on the clock for the jags to kick a field goal that would end the game, especially as the kicker had already pinged one from 68 yards. They would only need to get 20 yards to get in FG range. The offense had moved the ball really well on that drive and the only option to win the game is to go for 2. A draw doesn't do too much for the Raiders as they are already so far back behind the other AFC teams.

 

If it is any consolation NFL head coaches don't really understand this stuff either! Horrid end of game clock management happens two times a week at least.

The Bears/Bengals game seemed indicative of this!

After watching a pathetic home defeat for the 2-TD favourite Packers against the Panthers, I turned to the last 2 minutes of this game - could not believe what unfolded in those 2 minutes. Royally entertained!

Wtf?! 

Suicide by self-inflicted gunshot wound after being pursued in his car by police. Police had earlier been called to a 'welfare incident' at his house but there was nobody there when they arrived. Senseless and sad, and most probably mental health issues a factor...

Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has been extradited from Dubai to the United States to face a charge of second degree attempted murder relating to a shooting incident in May.

The Miami Police department said the former Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers player was "located in Dubai and was apprehended" before being "extradited to Essex County, NJ (New Jersey), by US Marshals".

And then Bengals messed it up lollol

 

Only just got around to watching the highlights, my word what a game.

 

Higgins is a beast and seeing Flacco do so well in 2025 does bring a little smile to my face, but boy I was howling watching Loveland bounce off the safeties and run for the TD.

 

Crazy.

I'd give credit to the Dolphins, but i just can't do that.

 

We just sucked!

A bad day at the office for Allen! 

 

Giants mess up their lead over the Bears. 

 

Could be a close finish between Jags and Texans.
