Powell could have made it to about the 40 or 45 and out of bounds with time on the clock if he hadn't turned and thrown it across the field.

Could see that coming when LAR turtled on offense. Their DL was gassed - the result of Tampa running almost 80 plays and kicking up the tempo late - and they just sat in zones almost stubbornly the past two drives.

They played Zone sidelines…but your safeties can’t be 40 yards downfield bros.

Also, Cupp likely gets that first if he cuts inside instead of sliding. In the least it’s an extra 2-3 yards.

Serious question: is Matthew Berry a true fantasy expert? Like has anyone tallied up his predictions against what you’d expect from Joe sitting at the local bar?

I get why he’s on NBC’s telecast as a featured presenter (GAMBLING), mind you.

Berry’s as good as anyone, and he’s actually entertaining. Most fantasy experts have the personality of a door knob.

That was the game against the 49ers where Brady brought them all the way back from 31-3 but they ended up losing.
as far as I'm concerned that's the game that marks a clear turning point for the franchise as a whole. After that, there was never a point in time that I thought the Pats were out of it.

Was that the Kris Harper game?
The only Chris Harper game I remember is muffing the punt in the snow up 21-7 in Denver in the 4th quarter, thus beginning the ridiculous run of events that led to the Pats playing in Denver again, and preventing the 5th title from happening that year, and the possibility of 5 straight Super Bowl appearances.

Ahh yeah, that’s the one I’m thinking of. You said awful fumble luck and that’s what my brain came up with

The Niners fumbled SIX times that night and only lost 1; the Pats fumbled twice and lost both. So the ball was on the ground 8 times and the Niners recovered it 7 times.

The other awful fumble luck game was the huge comeback win vs. Denver at home in 2013 - the one that ended on the Welker muff in OT.

Sans Tyreek and post Brady more or less slaying the looming Mahomes dragon once and for all I really don't mind the Chiefs anymore.

Yeah this is where I’m at. I find them mildly annoying just because I live in sort-of Chiefs country, and because I’d like to see somebody else win (something I say with a full appreciation of the irony as a Pats fan)
