Jets fumbled and Miami is going to get it but it’s interesting because Anderson almost regains possession and then it is taken away in the pile.

Aaron Rodgers pulls a Chris Webber... Do manage to get a couple more yards before getting the FG.

Don't look now, but Pittsburgh is on the march, and coming back quickly. Big Ben with like 270 yards passing already in the 1st half. The Chiefs offense is the real deal, but their defense is real bad.

And ohhhhhhhh Jetstown. Can't get in.

Umm... what is wrong with NFL replay?

Roethlisberger was 100% no doubt clearly over the line of scrimmage when he threw that. Absolutely no doubt the ball was in his hand beyond where it was hiked.

Fouts said it’s not where his feet are, it’s where the ball is (on a pass beyond the LOS or not). You’d think Fouts would know the rule (any part of body not over the LOS).

Head announcer (Eagle?) stated it correctly but Fouts not another word on it.

How was the Pittsburgh TD confirmed?
The announcers don't know the rules. The QBs entire body has to be past the line of scrimmage for it to be an illegal forward pass. Doesn't matter if the ball was released past the line, it's where the QBs body is positioned. I thought it was hard to tell.

I didn't catch the play, but if any part of Ben's body was on or behind the LOS, it would be ok. It's not where the ball or his hand is, just needs to have one body part behind or on the LOS. Was it even close?

Thanks. Not what the announcers explained.

My God, do I hate teams that run every play out of the shotgun from the 2 yard line. I understand on 3rd down, but on 1st and 2nd? Fucking Browns, no wonder they can't punch it in.

Powell has had a nice career given the crappy offenses he’s been on.

Damn a Bills ballcarrier lost his helmet and then took a shot to the head. Horrible.

There's nothing, I mean NOTHING that makes me happier on Sunday than a Pats win and/or a Jets loss.

Knowing how much the NY media will skewer the team and its fans is just an icing on top.

Bills special teamer loses his helmet and gets nailed in the head by a Charger.

Note to my future grandson: you may not play football.

The Fitzpatrick vs Mahomes Super Bowl is going to be interesting.

Anyone hear, or know why that wasn’t a safety in the Bills/Chargers game.
I saw the penalty, but I don’t understand how that was a touchback. Red Zone never came back to it.
