Strange call in that regardless of how it worked.....leaves 47 seconds for Chiefs with 2 timeouts. You get a first down on an easier play and you completely control the clock for win or tie. Chiefs offense not a factor.

That was nice, but he has been terrible. I don't really get it. About to get like 50 catches on the season.

Unbelievable. Chiefs cover and the over hit on that final play. Buddy and I also had $25 each that there would be a special teams or defensive TD in the game. Nice $55 win on that on the last play as well, lol.

Kansas City is definitely #1, after that who knows. I'll go:
2) Denver
3) Green Bay
4) Atlanta
5) Pittsburgh

I'll stick with the recent powers for now rather than go with Detroit, Buffalo, Los Angeles Rams, Philadelphia.

I'd put Carolina in my top 5

I hate to say it, but I think Buffalo could be legit this season.

Also, I never would have expected the Jets to be ahead of the Patriots in the standings a quarter through the season.

If they win this weekend, definitely. I'd also put the Rams in my top five if they win.

Assuming they lose:
Is there a favorite team right now in the NFL?

They're a solid top 15 team in the NFL, with their QB and his comically bad record against teams that finish above .500 combined with his comically large contract.

The NFL is really becoming unwatchable.

In back-to-back weeks in PIT games, two of the worst replay reviews I've ever seen (one for, one against PIT) - both in the second half - gave the ball to the team struggling on offense and down multiple scores.

Sure seems to me like games are officiated to try to keep things close.

Fumble by the Bears which replay clearly showed the knee down before the ball was out. Interception against PIT where it was ruled Antonio Brown never had possession, despite taking 3 steps, changing arms and tucking the ball away before basically fumbling (after the knee was down).

Bears play upheld the call on the field, though it pretty clearly should have been overturned. AB's play overruled the call on the field when there clearly wasn't enough to overturn it (and there's really no doubt it's a catch when you watch it real-time...in super slow-mo with a liberal interpretation of the rules, maybe a little debate).

Just giving you guys a hard time.

i don’t mind the officiating typically but it seems like this year there’s a ton of teams with horrible offensive lines. Or they drive down the field only to have the kicker miss a 30-something yard FG.
