Im a Seahawks fan - fucking loving it. Not sure why we went long on the last drive and should never have been as tight as it was with 3 seconds remaining.

Was mad game, Julio Jones dropping one Redknapp's mum would have caught for a TD, first recovered onside kick for about 5 years in NFL, and it was banana kick. Massive comeback (20 back at one stage and 15 points behind with 5 mins to go). Can't recall as wild a regular season game before.
also maybe the dumbest thing Ive seen a team do. 3 Falcons waited for the ball to roll 10 yards not knowing the receiving team can recover it anywhere.

Holy shit the Chargers team doctor....

trying to give Tyrod Taylor an injection for a cracked rib ends up puncturing Taylor's lung before the game.

Apparently the doctors past is super dicey as well.(as if puncturing the lung of a player wasn't enough)....2 DUI arrests, raided by DEA after he wrote himself 108 prescriptions, malpractice after severing the artery of a patient, multiple malpractice lawsuits for misdiagnosis's of career ending injuries and lost his surgery license in 2013.....sounds like the Chargers hired the best available doctor.

Jesus Christ. I head about the punctured lung but didn't realise about his past. That's ridiculous. Most local GP surgeries wouldn't touch him with a barge pole with that track record so how the hell did he blag his way into a billion dollar sports team to look after their expensive assets.

I also love that the player has just brushed it off and said "These things happen" Err... no Tyrod, they really don't.

they do. at least the pneumothorax. 1% chance every time you do it. happens to good doctors too. dont know about the rest of the stuff. usually pro team doctors are amongst the best in the community.

Just had a thought. Is this the first time ever that all 4 major sports (Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hockey) have been played concurrently ?

probably not. Hockey and basketball usually start mid to late october and the world series is usually still going on. but first time all four played in september.

What is it with dumb plays against the Cowboys.

Atlanta last week, and now a Seattle player just jogging into end zone allowing Dallas to run back and knock ball out of his hand.

Not complaining being supporter of the Boys though

Titans - Steelers postponed to later in the season, and now the Patriots-Chiefs game is in jeopardy.

They've tried to get around it by giving the Titans and Steelers byes this week and moving Baltimore's bye week so the game can be played week 7, but that's only really going to work if this is the only game. They will need to start adding extra weeks to the season at some point. At least the Republican party is keeping pace with the NFL for positive cases...

Looks like they should extend the season by a month just in case.

Saints player tested positive now(they will retest him) and they're testing everyone as they're already in detroit.
