Lamar gets so much more love from the refs than Josh Allen once in the grasp of the opposing linebackers.

I don't understand this defense. If they run the read option, the thing to do is absolutely paste Lamar every single time. It's legal. If Henry gets yards, that's ok. Punish Lamar every time.

Winter, nighttime, under the lights, crowd into it. This atmosphere blows the earlier game away

Derrick Henry is my favorite player to watch and it's not particularly close.

My wife isn’t familiar with him, and I gave her the lowdown about how he throws grown men like children when he gets into the open field, a la Gronk. The next play he bitchslapped Minkah Fitzpatrick. Can’t duplicate that timing.

Having no one back to receive the punt is one thing I don't miss about Belichick being the coach of the Pats. Did that ever work out once?

Man I just couldn't send the punt team out on 4th & 2 inches even from that field position. In a related story, I am not an NFL head coach.

Every Henry run is like a body shot in boxing. You just know they are going to accumulate throughout the game and the defense is going to be affected later in the game.

Henry has really brought the team back to the two-headed running monster they enjoyed with Ingram

Jackson has a great fake hand off. Watt has gone for it at least 3 times.
Like I said earlier, I don't know why they're not just hammering Jackson on all these read options. Make him pay the price for it, whether he hands off or not. Yes, you're going to get gutted by Henry at times. But also, you may make Jackson not want to keep running that play.
