And, they did it again.  Outstanding

The Bengals tied the Eagles.

Eagles play for the tie. Not going to knock it. Penderson knows the 1st team to 5 1/2 wins goes to the playoffs.

Just a beautiful pass from Stafford there.

The Eagles also tied the Bengals that time that Mike Vick admitted that he didn't know the OT rules after the game.

The Lions choked again...but somehow it worked out.

You just had to put the whammy on them.didn't you?

For all the talk of how franchises like the Patriots, Steelers, and Packers remain so consistently successful, how about those who are so inexcusably awful? Last year I thought the usual bottom-outs were as bad as we'd get but three Sundays in and I don't think I've seen an NFL cellar this hopeless: Vikings, Texans, Bengals, Broncos, Washington, Lions, Falcons, Eagles (pretty much the whole NFC East) and worst of all the Giants and Jets! Very divided NFL so far.

Steelers/Titans postponed and won't be played this weekend. 

Hence why I stayed the hell away from fantasy football this year.

The NFL implemented a series of enhanced protocols Thursday for teams to follow after exposure to the COVID-19 virus, as it navigates an outbreak among the Tennessee Titans and potential transmission to the Minnesota Vikings.

The Vikings, who have not yet returned a positive test result after playing the Titans last Sunday, used the protocols after reopening their facility and practicing Thursday.


The enhanced protocols include two daily tests; one is the traditional PCR (nasal swab) test and the other is a POC (point of care) test that returns faster results. All Tier 1 and Tier 2 employees must test negative on the POC test before entering the facility.

PPE and face masks must also be worn by all players and coaches on the practice field and gloves must be worn by everyone except quarterbacks on their throwing hand. All meetings must be virtual and there will also be daily deep cleanings of the facility. The protocols also include a prohibition on team or player gatherings away from the facility.

NFL chief medical officer Allen Sills will determine whether and for how long the post-exposure protocols must be followed. Whether they are exposed or not, all NFL employees were urged by the memo to "act as if every person you come into contact with has a COVID infection and take appropriate precautions."
