Horrible hit. Plenty of time to tackle him fair. Cooks runs off the field though.
How the fuck was there no penalty on that hit on Cooks? Why aren't the announcers even mentioning it?
Nothing like the college rule. No replay at all. It's either called, or it isn't.
Presumably they ruled that he had two feet down and a football move, so he’s not defenseless. Still not sure why that’s not targeting.
I mean, the easy line is "He still thinks he's hurdling players in the super bowl right about now."
That's a separate rule. The new rule is you can't initiate forceful contact to the head/neck area of anyone basically. Runner or not. The only thing I can think of is if they thought Cooks lowered his head and initiated it, in which case it should be a penalty on him, but they never make the call on the offensive player.
The judges would accept either answer as being correct.
These guys take an absolute pounding, they deserve every dollar then get.
Correct. Panthers lucked out. He was short or a measurement at least.
I dont think Cam actually knew the down. Esp I have seen zero replays showing a ref indicating first down
Wow, that's a terrible fumble by Ajayi. Got it flat out ripped from him by Kendricks.
EDIT - Replay shows it wasn't so much ripped as dropped. Yikes.

Jags just lost Corey Grant for the season with a Lisfranc injury. They're depleted at RB now with Fournette out for an extended period of time already. My how the mighty are going to fall.
In fairness, they are a young team and they were up 20-10 in the AFCCG until the wheels fell off, so winning that game was good for them going forward.
But that said..
I think Philly kicking the FG there is the wrong move. You're facing the Vikings - who have a very good offense that you've had major trouble containing - and you're kicking on a fourth and 5 from inside the 30 to "make it a two score game"? Yeah, those two scores are two touchdowns. Philly plausibly gets, what, three, maybe four, more meaningful possessions? By kicking that FG, you only marginally improve your chances of winning because Philly essentially needs to shut out Minny the rest of this game and score three more times (two being TDs) to win.

Since the start of Super Bowl XLIX, teams have now thrown four times -- FOUR TIMES! -- at the 1-yard line with Marshawn Lynch on the field. Following Derek Carr's interception, those passers are 0-4 with 2 Int on those passes, per ESPN Stats & Information.

"Football move" = we'll make the game closer because this is the prime time matchup.
The new rule is fucking garbage apparently.
That wasnt even close to a catch from a fan perspective.
