Thank god for daily fantasy, else this would be unwatchable. Although, rooting against Rex is always fun.

Burfict has a career in soccer if he wants it. Just shoved Steve Smith Sr. to the ground who gets up and just barely touches Burfict and he flops and draws a 15 yard flag.

Wonder if the Bengals will move on from Dalton this offseason. I think they're better off giving McCarron the keys and using the $20mm or so they're paying Dalton to shore up what now appears to be a litany of weaknesses.

Goff masterfully leads the Rams on a one play, six yard touchdown drive

They'd save $10M on the cap with an almost $5M dead money hit. It's something you could consider either way.

So - Cleveland needs to lose, NYG need to win. Is it possible for both teams to f this up?

So $10mm the first year and more in subsequent years, plus the option to take a long look at McCarron before deciding if he's the long-term solution or just a stopgap. I'd sign up for that if I'm running the Bengals.

Well, the first thing you have to do is move on from a mediocre coach.

Edit: But yeah, if it's a complete teardown, that's got to be one of the first steps.

Dolphins really need to make their throwback their regular uniform, so much better than what they have now.

The NFL really needs to get rid of the Joe Flacco Patented Huck N' Suck deep ball penalties.

If you are heaving it down field and throw it 5 yards short, it shouldn't be on the CB. Bears just got a 60 yard one.

Lol, Dalton calls a TO as the playclock runs down, thus allowing Harbaugh the time to see that the spot on the previous 3rd down play was godawful. Play overturned, Bungles lose a TO, Ravens get the ball.

Good to see Rex has his team fired up to beat an inferior opponent and stay in the playoff race.

Not
espn: Rex Ryan uses his second challenge on 22-yard catch by Allen Robinson along sideline. Ryan is now out of challenges for the game; he lost his first challenge earlier this drive.

One thing I don't understand about the catch rule: if first foot comes down, then second foot comes down toe first in bounds, then heel hits out of bounds? why isn't that a catch? If a WR is going directly toward sideline and just gets tiptoes down on both feet it is considered complete. Heels don't have to come down in bounds. Why is rule different?

Won this one, JAX punts, touchback. Big play considering JAX is absolutely dominating but only up 7

The whole body part counts. And I'm sure there's more BS about continuing the process of the catch.

Patrick Peterson is one of the best corners in the league, but when it comes to (open field) tackling, he sucks worse than my grandmother.
