How cool is it that a quarterback could beat the same club twice in one season with different teams?I've never been a bigger Flacco fan than I am this week
And how triple cool is it that that team could be the Packers?

That winning touchdown by Lawrence had to be the best and most amazing play of the week. And there were lots of good and amazing plays this week.

I don't think it's early. They have a good record and beat some good teams. They have proven they are a top team. Good for them, love the good surprises in this league
Nice to see Trevor Lawrence play well. Kid has talent. mtmuley

I agree.
KC wasn't tidy. They also got a gift with interference not called on the interception they made.

They also got screwed twice with holding calls on #43 that sure did not look like holding to me. They came at very crucial times too.

If you say so, but good ol' Aikman had to swallow his tongue on the second one after changing the subject on the first one.Matter of opinion from us experts.

I was expecting KC to get the win.
Jaguars were a bit better...or had a little KC luck this go around.

I do. They change the game.
Agreed, I’m happy to see him doing well. I was always a bit worried he would wind up with the Vikings.
I guess we should ignore the pass interference call that was not called against KC that resulted in a KC touchdown?

You’ve said this before and it still baffles me how you think penalties don’t matter. I’m sure there is a stat or someone could easily figure with a little time, but I’d be curious what percentage of drives that result in an offensive score have a defensive penalty vs do not. Compared to How many scoring drives have an offensive penalty vs do not. My guess is the number of defensive penalties on drives that result in a score far outweigh offensive penalties on scoring drives and I wouldn’t be surprised if the number of drives resulting in scores with a defensive penalty doesn’t outweigh scoring drives with no penalties for either side.
3rd and long - pass interference is an automatic first down which extends the drive
3rd and 6 - 5 yard penalty changes the play
To many on the field = free play for the offense to take a shot downfield- Rodgers was the best their ever was at catching guys subbing in and out
10 yard hold - negates a long run and interrupts the rhythm
