Its not even an extension?

It was a 10 year deal from 2018 - but with one year missed through Covid is this not just the missing year?
Yeah, on the face of it a 1 year extension looks a bit odd on a deal which still had 5 years to run. Maybe the new end date ties in with an imminent naming rights deal.

I thought the same about it's just another year but with THS now being officially known as 'Home of the NFL in the UK' maybe there is some increased revenue coming in, football.London seems to like it, maybe naming rights coming as well.

Another solid return from Jefferson but still no touchdowns. Also got Hockenson in my sleeper league so that was a nice game from him.

Not sure how quickly things move in the NFL (I'm guessing not very quickly), but there is real pressure to make all playing surfaces grass. This would surely mean that if a decision is made in favour of this, it would mean the games we host would be played on our grass pitch.
Not sure what the playing surface would look like after a game, not sure if we hosted Rugby matches during the season as this would probably give an idea of the potential state of the pitch after an nfl game.

The players are all calling for natural grass and have been for years.

The CBA between the NFL and the NFLPA expires in 2030. I wouldn't expect any change before that agreement, barring some crazy rash of injuries to "franchise" players.

The Titans just moved to an artificial pitch. The noise with Rodgers is there but I don't see anything changing soon.

Not a nice injury for Nick Chubb last night. Be tough to come back from that one

Awful injury. Same knee he had a full knee reconstruction on once in his life already. Dislocation and "multiple tears"....genuinely feel bad for Chubb.

If you haven't seen the injury, do yourself a favor and don't watch it.

Is there anything worse in fantasy than deciding whether to play someone who is questionable even though all of the info says he will play?
