Sorry if this was mentioned earlier, but I just read about it. A Falcons player rupture his Achillies and, as the trainers attended him, he took off his helmet and slammed it to the ground in frustration ... and was given a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty for doing so

I saw that. And that's a really bad flag and Quinn should have fought it.

Today's slate, with eight 1pm games and five 4pm games is significantly better than last week's 10/3 split.

The five games at 4pm are the highest number of 4pm that will be played this season. There are three weeks where there are only two 4pm games.

I don't get why the NFL does it this way.

It really is nonsensical. Especially when you factor in time zones. I’ve heard some people get up before 10 AM on a Sunday, but I’m pretty convinced it’s only preachers, and people with small children or little dogs.

Three weeks with 2 games at 4pm is beyond nonsensical. Although I do wake up early, and I'm no preacher and my dog is 11.

One game during the 4 PM timeslot is usually a national TV broadcast more or less. Now obviously any Mountain/WC home game can't be in the early slot, so it's not exclusive.

I meant little like under 50 pounds. My dude is a tank. He’ll sleep 14 hours on the weekend to the point I gotta wake him up to pee. And he’s only 3 years old.

Eli is gonna be back in pretty soon if Jones keeps hanging on to the ball like that.

Single coverage, you take your chances.
Wasn’t Deebo Samuel?
I was talking about the third down pass.
The one before was to Deebo.
I am at the game and had a pretty decent view of the Deebo drop and that wasn’t JG’s best pass today. But that is just my opinion.
Edit - I wouldn’t call it a drop. Would have been a great catch.

Imploding with penalties now.

Giants lose a second half timeout on challenging whether the Bucs committed OPI on a first down play at midfield. In a three-point game, that doesn't seem like optimal decision-making.
