Not counting the butt fumble and that bizarre Colts fake punt that may be the worst play I have ever seen. Pass on a first down up by 8 close to FG range to throw into double coverage.

Through about 20 minutes the gameplan definitely seemed to be 'play with house money' but yeah brutal mistake when clock control alone should rule the rest of the day

By the way, I saw a stat on Twitter. The Falcons scored 39 points with 0 turnovers.

Previous to today, a team has never lost with that combination. 444-0.

Now 444-1.

Mahomes is unreal. Reid is getting up there and that contract is going to make it tougher on them but they look like a team that can win multiple titles post-Brady era.

How’d the refs not flag the scumbag for taking his helmet off?? That’s a tough one to miss.

Another stat on Twitter. The Lions became the first team in NFL history to lose 4 straight games when they had a double digit lead.(obviously not a huge sample size on this but still a brutal stat for an NFL team)

And it's 11 losses in a row for the Lions.

A little too cute with Kelley over Ekeler on 1st and 2nd down there. I understand preferring him up the middle but from a predictability standpoint alone it's the wrong move.

James White inactive tonight because his dad died in a car crash. Mom in critical condition.

Brutal, poor guy. That sucks!

The only mystery in the Chiefs game is whether the Chargers will be able to force a third down on this drive.
