Scary situation in Pittsburgh, where after a crushing hit, QB Mason Rudolph has his face mask removed by medical staffers and is departing the game. Devlin Hodges to take over at QB for the Steelers.
This hit on Mason Rudolph . . . if I’m commish, I lay down the law, let every player, coach, staff member and ref know . . . No more of these. They won’t be tolerated. Not against any player, at any time, under any circumstance. All players included, not just the QB or the ball carrier. Every single player will fall under the umbrella of this rule.
The spearing play will be reviewed immediately, and the refs will determine if it was intentional, or was unavoidable. Flag and ejection if it was on purpose/could have been avoided. Fine levied. Second time, out for a full (16 game) season. Third time, out of the NFL for good.
Again, if I’m commish, I couldn’t care less about the people who say the NFL has gone “soft.” Brain injuries matter a hell of a lot more than the opinions of couch potato, weekend warriors.

Starting to think the Cowboys are in trouble whenever they have to face an above-average opponent which, come to think of it, has kind of been their brand the last 20 years.

Today the Eagles became the first team in NFL history with 10 or more sacks and two defensive touchdowns in a single game. Thorough domination.

Mind blowing stat: Most scrimmage yards in first 5 games of the season….1: Jim Brown (988) 2: Christian McCaffrey (866) 3: OJ Simpson (861)

If you came to watch this game for Patrick Mahomes, no doubt you left with an appreciation for this #Colts O-line. That was a thing of beauty.

The Chiefs offensive line is plenty fine when they are healthy. You don’t have a great offense with a crap OL.
Taking a second look at last night's Colts game and I cannot emphasize enough how ridiculous this Marlon Mack run is. He makes three consecutive cuts that are absolutely gorgeous. This is instinct and patience, bc there is NO running lane initially. pic.twitter.com/446N41ZRyM
I want to scout the 9er’s, but my Yankees are also going for the ALDS sweep. And, I have to wake up at 4:30 AM to get to Beverly, MA before a 9:30 AM meeting with a customer.
I did go and see the Giants / Vikings live yesterday. Either the Giants suck, or the Vikings are back, or something in between.
The @Colts held the Chiefs to 13 points on #SNF, the first game in Patrick Mahomes' career where KC scored fewer than 26 points.
Credit Defensive Coordinator Matt Eberflus for changing his scheme to a man-heavy defense for the first game in his career with the Colts, per @PFF. pic.twitter.com/DH2NC1QvaZ
