The NFL announced today that the Buccaneers-Chiefs game will stay in Tampa Bay.

Although the Minneapolis area is missing out on the added game, this will make many youth football players in MN happy - they are scheduled to play games at US Bank Stadium all day on Sunday.  If they moved the game, there was a radio campaign to give them all free tickets to the game.

Well, we have some good news regarding Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. He left the game last night @ Cincinnati with a scary-looking head/neck injury, however, according to head coach Mike McDaniel, the third-year quarterback was discharged from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center relatively quickly and flew home with the team.

Atlanta and Cleveland danced at MBS with Atlanta pulling out a 23-20 win after DeAundre Alford intercepted Browns QB Colby Brissett with less than 1:00 left and no timeouts. RB Cordarelle Patterson was a game time decision; he played and had a TD. Next week the Birds visit Tom Brady and the Bucs in Tampa Bay.

Former Georgia Bulldog Nick Chubb had an audience of students from his high school in nearby Cedartown cheering him on in the stands. Chubb ran for 118 yards and a TD.

In the London series, Minnesota hangs on for a 28-25 win over New Orleans after a 61-yard field goal attempt by the Saints for the tie hit the upright, the crossbar, and out (double doink).

YES!!! My Cardinals are 2-2 after coming away with a 26-16 over the Panthers thanks to a strong 2nd 1/2 as Kyler Murray threw for 207 yards and 2 touchdowns while also scoring a rushing touchdown and James Connor closed the deal with strong running at the end of the 4th 1/4. GO CARDINALS!!!

Matt Ryan can't even get OL protection in Indy, eating turf six times in the Colts' 12-9 win over Denver last night. He threw for 251 and got picked twice.

Reigning NFL DPOY TJ Watt delayed until further notice


For what it's worth, there was talk that Watt had a setback in his rehab.  He was slated to return a week from Sunday (vs Tampa Bay).  I don't think he would've made too much of an impact (with rust and the GOAT as the opposition).  Looks like the reason for a delay may have been confirmed

[Ccook]

Speaking of the GOAT, Tom Brady pretty much made the Falcons defense his bee-yotch, throwing for 351 and a TD. Bucs win 21-15 in spite of Atlanta's last ditch run in the fourth. Falcons QB Marcus Mariota ate turf 5 times. Brady is undefeated against Atlanta in 11 contests.

YES!!!!! My Eagles are 5-0 after beating moneygamelover's Cardinals 20-17 as Cardinals' kicker Matt Ammendola misses a 43 yard field goal with less than 30 seconds left. It wasn't a pretty game for the Eagles after they started with a 14-0 lead but they did just enough to keep Kyler Murray from beating them. Up next is a Sunday night showdown with the 4-1 Cowboys that should be a really good game. Fly Eagles fly!

I'll admit I do get quite nervous the week of Cowboy games; for the last 30 years, they've been the ones I've wanted the team to win more than any other.  If they are able to win that, though, they have the chance to continue on quite a while as the league's last unbeaten team, with thus far decidedly uninspiring Pittsburgh, Houston, Washington, and Indianapolis teams on the slate after that.  To the Cardinals fans on here, don't take it hard; they proved more than a worthy opponent, and if they get lucky breaks for the rest of the season, they have a strong chance at a playoff spot.

I just checked the schedule; Philadelphia hosts the Steelers after their off week, while the latter is playing a currently scheduled night game on the road.  I can go on and on in terms of the garbage scheduling and/or inconsistency, but even in a fair world or in equal structure, that Keystone State battle should be over well before halftime.

Speaking of Pittsburgh:

For SNF one week from this Sunday (10/23), while the Steelers/Dolphins seem like a game that would typically remain there, I wouldn't be shocked if it were flexed out.  If it does, look for that to happen today or tomorrow in favor of Chargers/Seahawks or Giants/Jaguars.  Not many options (which means that they would keep the game on NBC), save for New York, the rest of the teams are that much better.  They're not as bad, though they all can improve, while I don't see how Pittsburgh can for the remainder of 2022.

Now, I don't know the specifics of what FOX or CBS protected.  If one or both of the above options are protected, then forget about it.  I don't think it's too likely given the fact that neither are in the national Game of the Week slot (and are teams that have been a bore over the recent past)

Head Coach (now former HC) Matt Rhule let go from Carolina

[Ccook]

Falcons trade ILB Deion Jones and a seventh round 2024 draft pick to Cleveland in exchange for a sixth round '24 pick. Jones hasn't played this season yet as he's been on IR.

[moneygamelover]

Josh McDaniels is a numbskull. Not taking that extra point was the difference in the game tonight. The Raiders actually got a defensive stop after that but ended up stuck on 29.

On the other side, Mahomes and Kelce connected for 4 touchdown passes. With Gronk retired, there should be no doubt or argument about Travis Kelce being the best tight end in NFL at this nanosecond.
