Steelers getting slammed for a sloppy win yesterday. Seems like only the Bills and Colts are the biggest obstacles to 16-0. The road goes through Kansas City.
I get that, but they are really punishing the Bucs by giving the Saints an easy W. I guess what I’m looking for is consistency - try to protect the games by shifting the schedule (as has been the procedure to date) and punish for COVID protocol violations with fines and loss of draft picks (as has also been the procedure to date).

I can't believe that Jets defensive coordinator Greg Williams actually walked into the locker room after that game. He probably should have just walked out the stadium and over to the local unemployment office.
An all-out blitz with 10 seconds left on the clock, leaving your CBs one-on-one with no help at all from any safeties or additional corners, when you are leading by 4 points is one of the most mind-boggling defensive calls in NFL history... and I am not being hyperbolic to say that.

I'll repeat that-- since 2006, no team had ever thrown even 6 pass rushers out there in this same situation... the Jets came with an 8-man rush. Utterly mind-boggling.It was uniquely reckless. According to ESPN Stats & Information data, which goes back to 2006, it was the first time a team sent six or more rushers in the final 15 seconds of regulation when leading by four-to-eight points and being more than 40 yards from the end zone.
The situation called for a soft zone -- a prevent defense, if you will. The Raiders had no timeouts left. If Carr had completed a pass in the middle of the field, there's a good chance time would have expired. He had to throw to the end zone or find a quick completion that went out of bounds to stop the clock.
This was a time to be conservative, but Williams scoffed at that idea and dialed up an eight-man rush. Thus, the Jets became the first team this season to use an eight-man rush in the final 30 seconds of a game, per NFL Next Gen Stats.

"I just felt like we could've been in a better call in that situation," Maye said.
Maye doubled down on that opinion. Actually, he went way beyond that. During his four-minute, 30-second interview with reporters, he made eight references to how the defense should've been given a "better call" on third-and-10 with 13 seconds left when the play started.

maybe it's already been mentioned, but did anyone else see Kornacki at the "playoff odds" board after the Giants win? That was pretty funny...his lucky pants are hanging in there it would seem...
So is this Pittsburgh Baltimore game not being televised nationally?
