I get that it's technically a penalty, but that's the stupidest penalty out there.

NFL really needs to do something about officiating, it consistently gets worse year over year.

Edit: the key is just consistency, refs are never gonna be able to pick up all penalties on every play but it seems totally random when something is a penalty and when something isn't.

I thouhgt we were going to see KC run that conversion attempt all the way back.

Lesson: if you're away from the play on D, allow the O lineman past you so he'll be downfield. If necessary, push him there.

part of it is the rules themselves, they've made so many subrules and exceptions and technicalities that it is a mess. Overhauling and simplifying the rulebook would go a long way.

looks like KC is the class of the AFC by a wide margin
Are they? They're barely leading an injury ravaged Ravens team after barely escaping the Browns. The defense is too bad for them to be a wide margin better than anyone.

This has been an entertaining game between two teams I fucking hate.

And NFL officiating has become a real problem.

The Ravens have tried 3 2pt conversions with the most unstoppable short yardage running game in the league.... they have passed all 3 times

Lamar Jackson was available where the Pats were drafting that year – IIRC, Belichick traded the pick (to Baltimore I believe). Would he be this good if he were in the Pats system?

That should be game. No way KC doesn't score 7 or 3 in the next couple of minutes. Two-pt would have forced a TD from KC and kept BAL with a slight chance of winning.

Did that Halloween trailer just call back the second movie with the evil masks? I watched that movie a ton as a kid.

Nothing was close to open right from the snap that play looked dead
Running with impunity, but when they’ve needed conversions they’ve called low-percentage throws into traffic.
Maybe have a WR split out wide on one side running a crossing pattern over the middle with Lamar just running for the pylon at the vacated spot.
