What Sanders has done to come back as quickly as he did from the achilles injury and make catches like that is almost unbelievable.

Shouldn’t that have been from the 3.5 yard line or something?

Delay of game from 2 yard line to 7 yard line. Offsides should be half distance to goal?

hold on. shouldn't the 2 point try have gone back to the 2 yard line after the offsides?

EDIT: or yeah, 2 to 7 to 3.5

I don't like Dean Blandino but apparently the line of scrimmage resets or something. I want to see the rulebook on that one

That call against Chubb was so so bad. The NFL has a real problem on its hands. Today was a disaster

I don’t think I’ve ever seen two wild finishes in back-to-back weeks like Texans-Saints on Monday night and Bears-Broncos today.

Who is this stooge coaching Denver; he looks like a dazed and confused grandfather watching a pop warner game.

What a leader of men.

Vic Fangio? He's awesome and deserves the HC shot way more than the Rams quarterback coach.

When was the last time the Bears won a game because of their field goal kicker?

Love the Broncos-Bears result if only because I get annoyed when I wake up the next day to the local radio DJ talking about how it's a "broncos orange sunrise". Massive choke jobs typically limit that talk.

I’m sure someone very close to KC could mention some things they need to tighten up. Last week, Foles and Gardner Minshew had a combined passer rating of 128.5 against them (mostly Minshew). By all rights, we should not have beaten them in the AFCCG in January but we did.
I love the Chiefs, but i’m just a friend to them. Strengths through two games: 1) Mahomes — despite the 4 long range TDS today — is becoming more patient and checking down when needed. 2) depth at WR and RB is a big deal. They used a lot of people this summer. 3) they tackle better than they did the last few years. Concerns: 1) Secondary is a problem. Cornerbacks are prone to penalties 2) If Chris Jones doesn’t get to theQB the pass rush is not there. 3) big name FAs haven’t really shown up yet. Mathieu was signed to be a ball hawk and he’s very tentative so far. Clark is getting double teamed so tough to make a judgment. But I want to hear his name called more. 4) chiefs don’t run the ball well enough to present a real problem to the Pats’ D yet.

You don't believe him? That's been the rule since the longer XP has come into play. Makes perfect sense.

Here's the rules. Page 41: https://operations.nfl.com/media/3831/2019-playing-rules.pdf

ARTICLE 3. FOULS COMMITTED DURING TRY. If a foul results in a retry, Team A will have the option to enforce the penalty from the spot where it attempted the try (previous spot) or from the yard line for the other try option.

What did I miss? On my small screen it certainly looked like there was 1 second left.
If it were at any other point in the game, 99 times out of 100, that last second ticks off. Also there was a truly bogus roughing the passer that made it possible.
