The 9 dumbest mistakes from NFL Week 9, ranked

Steven Bisig-USA TODAY Sports

Jameis Winston threw it back, literally and figuratively. Kirk Cousins doesn’t know how to slide. And the Dolphins won, but butt-tackled themselves in the process.

The Dolphins won. The Patriots lost. The Browns are ... still the Browns. Week 9 kept us entertained, to say the least. It was also full of very questionable decisions.

It all started on Thursday night, when Kliff Kingsbury essentially iced his own defense. Right before halftime, the 49ers faced a fourth-and-goal, and the Cardinals sniffed the play out and got the stop — but it was negated by Kingsbury calling a timeout. The 49ers scored on their second chance and took a 21-7 lead into halftime. They would go on to beat the Cardinals 28-25.

Kingsbury’s snafu served as a precursor to what Sunday would bring. Pete Carroll left the Seahawks with just one timeout on their final drive, which ended in a missed field goal attempt to send the game to overtime.

Mike Tomlin burned two timeouts on pass interference challenges in the final three minutes of a tight game against the Colts. Fortunately for Tomlin, Adam Vinatieri’s botched 43-yard field goal allowed the Steelers to escape with a 26-24 win.

Like the Seahawks and Steelers, the Raiders’ timeout misuse didn’t end up costing them a win, though it easily could��ve. The Lions, who were out of timeouts and down by seven, were rushing to get lined up on fourth-and-goal as the clock was winding down. Jon Gruden then bailed them out, at least temporarily, by calling a timeout with eight seconds remaining. Luckily for the Raiders, the Lions’ fourth-down play was truly awful.

Then there’s the Browns, who used up all their timeouts with 3:23 left in the game, leaving them with no chance to stop the clock on the Broncos’ last game-clinching possession.

For those counting, that’s five dumb mistakes all related to timeouts — and we haven’t gotten to this week’s actual rankings yet.

On that note, let’s get to it.

9. The Dolphins butt-tackled themselves

The Dolphins won a real football game, and we’re very proud of them for that. That doesn’t mean they’re getting let off the hook here. Not when one of their players butt-tackles his own teammate:

That’s center Evan Boehm getting pushed back into running back Mark Walton for a 5-yard loss on third-and-goal. If the Dolphins had lost, this is the play you’d point to as evidence of them tanking (they still are, though).

Instead, it was the Jets who lost in embarrassing fashion, but at least for once, they weren’t on the wrong end of a butt play.

8. Mason Rudolph dropped back 10 yards before taking a sack in the end zone

Trey Edmunds’ run from the Pittsburgh 1-yard line seemed to free the Steelers from the danger of a safety in the third quarter of their showdown with the Colts. Rudolph’s five-step drop out of a shotgun snap put him right back in the eye of that hurricane.

— Christian D'Andrea (@TrainIsland) November 3, 2019

That long drop, combined with his lack of awareness, led to an ill-advised pump-fake and a strip-sack for Justin Houston. While the Colts weren’t able to jump on the ball, it still led to a safety and two points for Indianapolis.

7. Vikings OL Pat Elflein got beaten so badly he sacked his own QB

Kirk Cousins had a bad day in Kansas City. While his last four weeks had seen him emerge as an MVP candidate, the Chiefs’ revamped pass rush found a way to pressure him into mistakes all afternoon. And at no point was this more evident than when guard Pat Elflein got so thoroughly overpowered by Pro Bowler Chris Jones that he got thrown backward with enough force to sack his own QB.

— Christian D'Andrea (@TrainIsland) November 3, 2019

That wasn’t the only lowlight for Cousins, either.

6. Kirk Cousins doesn’t know the rules of sliding

Kirk Cousins is 31 years old. He’s in his eighth season in the NFL. He’s played in 87 games during the regular season. He should know every single rule of playing quarterback.

And yet, he did this on third-and-6:

— Sean Borman (@SeanBormanNFL) November 3, 2019

When a quarterback slides, the ball is spotted where he begins that slide. This is not new info! Cousins should absolutely know this.

So rather than Cousins picking up a first down that was right there for the taking, the Vikings punted. The Chiefs scored a field goal on the ensuing possession of a game they won by, wouldn’t you know it, a field goal.

5. Darius Leonard gifted the Steelers a free field goal with an unnecessary hit

The Steelers’ attempt to get a quick five yards before setting up a Hail Mary at the end of the first half looked like a failure at first glance. Vance McDonald was unable to get out of bounds at the tail end of his quick out, leaving a timeout-less Pittsburgh team to watch the clock run out on the second quarter with no recourse.

Then All-Pro linebacker Darius Leonard lowered his head to blast a player three of his teammates had already wrapped up.

— Christian D'Andrea (@TrainIsland) November 3, 2019

The unnecessary roughness penalty that ensued gave Pittsburgh 15 free yards and an untimed down. The Steelers used this extra opportunity to try a 51-yard Chris Boswell field goal — and went into the locker room down 16-13 instead of 16-10.

Somehow, this wasn’t the only 15-yard roughness penalty Leonard would earn Sunday. His late hit on JuJu Smith-Schuster pushed the Steelers into field goal range one quarter later. Pittsburgh turned that into a McDonald touchdown reception and a lead moments afterward.

4. Officials made it illegal for Calais Campbell to fall down

The NFL rulebook was changed in 2018 to add a section that made it illegal when a player “lowers his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet against an opponent.”

That’s most certainly not what Jaguars defensive end Calais Campbell did when he tried to tackle the Texans’ elusive quarterback, Deshaun Watson.

Just end the NFL pic.twitter.com/zIxLCSZQHB

— Warren Sharp (@SharpFootball) November 3, 2019

Aside from the fact that Campbell’s helmet wasn’t close to contacting Watson, it’s tough to imagine how the Jaguars’ gigantic defensive end is supposed to make any tackle without lowering his head. He’s 6’8 and, on that particular play, he was trying to get low enough to avoid Watson ducking under his tackle attempt.

The penalty moved the Texans into Jaguars territory, but Campbell got his revenge later in the drive with a sack that forced a field goal. Fortunately for the Jaguars, the officials didn’t throw a phantom personal foul call on that one.

3. Nothing good happened for the Browns on fourth down

The Browns went 0-for-2 on fourth down in their 24-19 loss to the Broncos. Both came at critical times, when a touchdown would’ve given them a lead.

The first wasn’t really their fault. They ran a quarterback sneak on fourth-and-1 at the Denver 5 and Baker Mayfield looked like he picked it up:

— Browns Replay (@BrownsReplay) November 3, 2019

However, the refs gave him a terrible spot, and despite a Freddie Kitchens challenge, the Browns turned it over on downs.

The second time was on their last drive of the game. After Nick Chubb was dropped for a loss on third-and-1, the Browns faced fourth-and-4 with the game on the line. Mayfield threw the ball late to a covered Jarvis Landry when Odell Beckham had Chris Harris beat on the outside:

Baker went across the middle to Landry with two defenders instead. Ouch. pic.twitter.com/bB0zlW3tgV

— Will Brinson (@WillBrinson) November 4, 2019

Aaaand that’s how Cleveland lost its fourth straight game.

2. Sam Darnold can’t stop throwing goal-line interceptions

Darnold missed three games due to mono earlier in the season and he’s still the NFL leader in red zone interceptions with four. You’d think after being picked off three times with a chance to score, he’d start being a little more careful. Nope! His fourth was the worst one yet.

After rolling to his left, Darnold had to deal with Dolphins linebacker Raekwon McMillan, who screamed through the middle of the offensive line and into the backfield. For some reason, Darnold thought that was the right time to lob a ball up for grabs as he was being swung down by McMillan. It wasn’t a good idea at all.

Boneheaded decision here by Sam Darnold. What in the world. (via @NFL)pic.twitter.com/H1Zb9qGUjC

— NFL Update (@MySportsUpdate) November 3, 2019

Rolling Darnold to his left instead of running the ball with Le’Veon Bell is a questionable call too, but it’s on the quarterback to not turn the play into a disaster.

The decent-ish news for Darnold was that the Jets’ defense got a safety on the very next play. New York got the ball back and Darnold led the team into range for a 52-yard field goal for Sam Ficken just before halftime. Just like that, the Jets salvaged five points out of Darnold’s horrendous interception. Still, the Jets’ second-year quarterback has to stop self-destructing in the red zone, at some point.

1. Jameis Winston pulled a 2015 Rose Bowl to give the Seahawks the lead

Once upon a time, Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston escaped pressure, then slipped, flailed, and launched a fumble in the wrong direction during the 2015 Rose Bowl. It was scooped up by Oregon defensive lineman Tony Washington, who returned it for a touchdown as part of a 59-20 win for the Ducks.

Less than four months later, Winston was picked No. 1 overall by the Buccaneers. Now — nearly five years after that hilarious Rose Bowl blooper — Winston is still the same guy. He’s one of the most turnover-prone quarterbacks in the NFL, and still very capable of tossing a ball in the wrong direction without any contact from a defender.

Jameis… son, come on. pic.twitter.com/xbHZG3Nozb

— Bryan Fischer (@BryanDFischer) November 3, 2019

The Seahawks picked up the fumble and returned it 36 yards. A few plays later, Jason Myers kicked a 22-yard field goal that gave Seattle its first lead of the day.

Winston also had over 300 passing yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions against the Seahawks. But random and silly turnovers are part of his game and probably always will be.

Has The NFL’s Instant Replay Run Its Course?

There’s a classic coachspeak phrase that gets trotted out when people blame losses on bad officiating: “You’ve got to take it out of the refs’ hands.” After an NFL season when replay-review changes intended to fix officiating mistakes seemed only to complicate matters, it may be time to take instant replay out of the refs’ hands, too.

The 2019 season was full of heated discourse about officials and instant replay. That simmering anger boiled over in the last game of the regular season, when officials failed to review a game-deciding no-call at the end of the 49ers’ tilt with the Seahawks. The 49ers won, giving them the No. 1 seed and pushing the New Orleans Saints out of a first-round bye — and into a wild-card game that the Saints lost on another controversial no-call.

Of course, pass interference is only reviewable because of this year’s offseason rule change — a reaction to another pass-interference no-call that also knocked the Saints out of the playoffs.

But only 24 of 101 replay reviews involving pass interference resulted in reversals this regular season. Instant reply had even less of an effect on plays when PI was called on the field; just three of 27 such reviews led to an overturn — and none of the 13 coach-initiated reviews overturned a PI call.

If zero coaches’ challenges of pass-interference penalties were successful, what’s the point of reviewing PI?

Instant replay as a whole has an up-and-down history. When the league first implemented the reviews in 1986, the technology was limited, and its uses were even more limited. That first year, the NFL averaged 1.6 replay reviews per game — yet only about 10 percent of the replays led to a reversal. Though that share increased to 15.7 percent in 1991, the league later determined that nine of the 90 reversals were incorrect — and the video-replay official’s tape-based review system led to long, seemingly random delays.

NFL owners decided it was more trouble than it was worth. So from 1992 to 1998, there was no replay review at all.

But improving broadcast and television technology, in-stadium video displays and the advent of digital video recording and playback made it possible for everyone at home and in the stands to see immediate replays. The league reintroduced replay review in 1999, with a complex system of coaches’ challenges, burned timeouts, maximum delays and on-field equipment. As both broadcasters and viewers upgraded to high-definition digital displays, replay review got better. From 2011 to 2016, NFL games had an average of 1.6 replay reviews per game, with 41 percent of them resulting in an on-field call being overturned.

But the system has been far from perfect. It’s been frequently tweaked and upgraded, often in apparent response to anger over specific plays from players, coaches and fans. Super slow-motion, high-definition replays from multiple angles also exacerbated problems with the rules themselves, as in the infamous “Dez Caught It” controversy. Before the 2017 season, the league tried to improve consistency by giving Vice President of Officiating Al Riveron (or another senior official) final say over replay reviews from a command center in the league office — but if anything, consistency has seemed even more elusive.

For its part, the league has already announced that it is doing a “top-down review” of officiating — just one season after it implemented a “configuration change” that was supposed to optimize technology and personnel for a modern, fast-moving NFL (and its newly reviewable pass-interference rules). According to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, major changes to the replay-review infrastructure are in the works for 2020, including streaming every camera at every game to New York at all times (cutting TV producers out of the decisions of which camera angles are available to officials).

But no matter how many camera angles are streaming at whatever definition to however many NFL executives, the problems of replay haven’t changed. The rules of the game weren’t written to account for the world instantly being able to see barely perceptible ball movements inside a player’s grasp, or edges of shoes brushing up against single blades of turf. Trying to get every call indisputably correct has eroded the “50 drunks in a bar” standard to something more like a debate among 50 members of a bar association.

Fortunately, the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs avoided any outcome-affecting replay headaches in their conference-championship games, winning by a combined final score of 72-44. But there’s no guarantee that the Super Bowl will be free of officiating drama. And the NFL certainly doesn’t want that kind of drama on its biggest stage.

Is Super Bowl History Repeating Itself?

If this Super Bowl does involve a pass interference situation mirroring the infamous Saints incident from last season, maybe we’ll be glad to have a challenge available. But it may be better for the league to ditch replay on pass interference calls.

In fact, there’s a compelling argument for the NFL to drop instant replay altogether. Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll had this to say in May to NBC Sports’s Peter King on how to improve the game.

“Get rid of, or at least decrease the use of, instant replay. … I miss the human element of trusting the officials to make the calls in the moment and then the rest of us having to live with what they called. It was both fun and frustrating, but I really liked the game better when the officials were just as much a part of the game as the players.”

Though Carroll’s appeal to the “human element” may fall flat with fans — blown calls are not a positive — the NFL has put so many layers of technology and lawyering between the game and the fans that it might be more fun to watch without instant replay at all. There’s no question that the system currently in use is better than the 1986 version — but as in 1991, the baggage around replay review has become so heavy that the league may be better off taking it out of the refs’ hands.

Check out our latest NFL predictions.

New Post has been published on https://shovelnews.com/liev-schrieber-snl-sketches-ranked-dan-crenshaws-sick-pete-davidson-burn-robert-de-niros-epic-return/

Liev Schrieber 'SNL' Sketches Ranked: Dan Crenshaw's Sick Pete Davidson Burn, Robert De Niro's Epic Return

Pete Davidson put his foot in his mouth with a bad joke about Congressional candidate Dan Crenshaw’s eye patch last week on “Saturday Night Live,” so Crenshaw came back this week to get his revenge and did so in epic fashion.

As for the actual host, Liev Schreiber is not known as a funny man, as he readily admitted in his monologue, so most of the jokes were done around him and with him playing it very straight. And to his credit, he does that very well. The same goes for Robert De Niro, who dropped by as Robert Mueller again in a surprise cameo.

And for a guy known for very serious work, like “Ray Donovan,” Liev did manage to bring plenty of laughs to a mostly successful show. One sketch later in the night was so stupidly hilarious that almost no one involved in it could keep a straight face, and Liev lost it with Kate McKinnon in another.

The audience loves it when cast-members break, but these weren’t breaks in a way that derailed either sketch.

Elsewhere and as expected, “SNL” tackled the firing of Jeff Sessions, allowing Kate one more chance to shine, as well as the White House intern who became embroiled in the middle of the Jim Acosta scandal after his credentials were revoked and Sarah Huckabee Sanders released doctored footage of his exchange with the intern as evidence to justify the decision.

As usual, we’re ranking all the sketches from worst to first, including the Cold Open and the regular “Weekend Update” segments. We’ll skip the musical guests, because they’re not usually funny – unless Ashlee Simpson shows up. We wrap up with a look at the cast-member who had the strongest week.

MONOLOGUE – Liev Schreiber

[embedded content]

Liev Schreiber came out with a monologue about how he is not particularly known for being funny, which he thinks is great because it’s all about “managing expectations.” He also appeared to be very nervous, stumbling over several lines along the way. Or maybe it’s because, as he pointed out, he said more words in this monologue than in the entire fifth season of “Ray Donovan.” So don’t fault this sketch for sitting at the bottom as it wasn’t supposed to be funny. It was to manage expectations and praise the more than 100 million people who voted in a midterm election.

The Poddys

[embedded content]

So this was a weird premise, a podcast awards show celebrating the most jarring transition into an advertisement and white women who are where they don’t belong. Liev Schreiber had fun as Michael Barbaro, stammering and stuttering his way through the nominees alongside Cecily Strong’s Sarah Koenig before Alex Moffat came out and owned an impression of Marc Maron. And they did nominees, shots to the audience and acceptance speeches, so the commitment to the premise was all in. Oh, and did we mention this was weird. Not even sure if it was funny, but man was it weird.

Outside the Women’s Bathroom

[embedded content]

Another weird sketch, this one featured Liev Schreiber filming a pilot for a talk show outside a women’s bathroom. It was mostly cringe humor, save for when Leslie Jones walked out and stared him down. She didn’t even have to save a word. While Liev messed up his lines a few times, it’s easy enough to pretend it was part of the character … but we know it wasn’t. For the most part, none of this ultimately came together as a successful sketch, but it did have a few memorable moments and funny bits, including Heidi Gardner as his poor date, abandoned at the table so he could film. But yeah, odd stuff.

Paranormal Experience

[embedded content]

We’ve seen this countless times, but it’s always worth seeing what ridiculous things Kate McKinnon’s trashy character had to endure, this time as it relates to ghosts. She compared Cecily Strong and Liev Schreiber’s stories to “Ghost” while hers was more “Beetlejuice.” And it was every bit as stupid and awful as we predicted. Oh, and she totally found a way to harass the guest, grinding her bottom on Liev’s chest as he tried to hide his laughter. At some point, these are going to stop being so funny, but so long as Kate keeps coming up with new rhyming ways to describe her frontside and backside, we’ll be there … a bit uncomfortable, but there.

Unity Song

[embedded content]

In a country divided, the cast came together to unite under all the things they dislike together. Because if there’s one thing modern Americans are good at, it’s bitching and complaining. As for the list, it includes the words “moist” and “crotch,” airplane pilots who say too much when there’s nothing going on and nothing when there’s too much going on and the damned chip reader sound. So yeah, they pretty much nailed this one. And you know what? We do feel better.

Booty Kings

[embedded content]

Future returned for this one, joining Chris Redd and Kenan Thompson as the Booty Kings with Uncle Butt (Pete Davidson) and Lil Wayne. It’s a typical hip-hop song about dat booty, but it’s also about consent and Time’s Up. What a bizarre combination, but with sharp writing it had wit and heart. We love the women in the club (Ego Nwodim and Melissa Villasenor) stunned that the guys are respecting their boundaries. At the same time, it’s sad that this was so funny because it’s so unexpected that guys can be decent in this scenario. We still laughed, though.

COLD OPEN – Jeff Sessions

[embedded content]

It was an inevitable as sunset, but still appropriate that Kate McKinnon got to say farewell to her brilliant take on Jeff Sessions in the cold open. “Goodbye trusty Bible,” she said as packing up her awful. “I justified a lot of bad things with this book.” As he packed, he was visited by Sarah Huckabee Sanders (Aidy Bryant), Mike Pence (Beck Bennett), and even Eric (Alex Moffat) and Don Jr. (Mikey Day). In a closing surprise, Robert Mueller (Robert De Niro) dropped by for a final farewell. The whole thing was more of a bizarrely touching tribute to her performance, with plenty of possum jokes and just brilliance from McKinnon for what’s hopefully not the last time.

Weekend Update

[embedded content]

First up, Colin Jost and Michael Che broke down the midterms, with Jost quickly tempering the left’s enthusiasm by reminding them Trump still control everything except the House, including the media, space, time and our ability to perceive reality. Che gave it up to Stacy Abrams taking on a white man in Georgia in a runoff election where he’s also in charge of the election. “That’d be like taking on LeBron [James] at home where he’s also the ref. It’s an uphill battle to say the least.”

[embedded content]

And then, in a brilliant little parody, Cecily Strong showed up as the White House intern who tried to take Jim Acosta’s mic and she proved just as disruptive here. And then they doubled down on the intern story with their own doctored video in response to the one Sarah Huckabee Sanders showed to justify revoking Acosta’s press credentials. We think this one is more believable.

[embedded content]

The guys then moved on to other topics, with their won funny reason Justice Ginsburg broke three ribs, and calling new acting Attorney General Michael Whitaker a Michael Chiklis (“The Shield”) impersonator.

[embedded content]

Dan Crenshaw dropped by “Weekend Update” to confront Pete Davidson directly after last week’s poorly-received joke comparing Crenshaw to a pirate in a porno. And boy, he didn’t have to say anything to shade Pete in the most epic way possible. It’s all in the ringtone. Damn!

House Hunters

[embedded content]

Liev Schreiber and Leslie Jones were the couple trying to decide between all the houses they’d looked at and if you love how ridiculous this show is but wish it were even more ridiculous, this is the sketch for you. We loved the gas stove in the middle of the bed, and the fenced in backyard for Liev’s sister to run around in. Oh, and did he mention his man cave? He definitely wants his man cave. They absolutely nailed it with this one. Now the actual show will just be a letdown.

Brotherly Love

[embedded content]

Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney portrayed two grade-school brothers struggling to impress the neighbors. Let’s see, Liev Schrieber was their father who kept a garden hose in the house to hose them down when they got too rowdy and that was always. Beck and Kyle were so into these roles that the rest of the cast couldn’t even keep it together as their antics got more over-the-top and stupid.

Good Day Denver

[embedded content]

Reporter Cecily Strong accidentally referred to Mikey Day and Alex Moffat as the “incest” twins rather than the “invest” twins. That’s the catalyst for this whole thing, but anything that gives us the great comedic chemistry of Day and Moffat together is worth it. Everything they said was double entendres and really creepy with the graphic “Incest Twins” below them in this news segment parody. And they went pretty far down this particular rabbit hole and every bit of it worked. Clever writing, top-notch commitment from everyone equals a disturbingly funny sketch.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK

While Mikey Day, Kyle Mooney and Beck Bennett turned in some amazing work it came down to veterans Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong this week. McKinnon treated us to another brilliant Jeff Sessions and her ghost story was both terrifying and– well, it was just terrifying.

But we’re going to have to give the edge to Cecily Strong, who pantomimed beautifully as the White House intern, and kept things moving during the “incest” sketch as well as embodying a wholly different vibe with her ghost story, as well as anchoring the “Unity” song and mostly keeping it straight in the brothers sketch.

I will take arguments for Kate, though, as this was easily one of the tightest battles of the season and she had two very strong sketch appearances on a more balanced night across the cast.

“Saturday Night Live” returns next week with host Steve Carell and musical guest Ella Mai at 11:35 p.m. et on NBC.

10 thoughts about the Flyers at Sharks, 10/9/2018

San Jose Sharks picked up their first regulation win with a record-breaking 8-2 effort against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night. After 4-0 shutout against the Islanders, Sharks received an offensive burst from six different players. Evander Kane and Joe Pavelski both had two goals. Here are the 10 thoughts about the Sharks at Flyers.

1. Aaron Dell

- The final score might overshadow it but Aaron Dell had a really solid night in the goal. He made some key saves early in the first and was able to keep the Flyers off the board early in the second as well. If the Sharks wanna have success in tight Pacific, they better have two goaltenders.who can put on a show a night after night. So far, so good.

2. Two PPGs, 0-for-10 before tonight... but it still feels a bit awkward.

- Burns, Karlsson, Hertl, Pavelski, and Couture. I mean, that is a preeeetty solid first power play unit. Somehow the Sharks were 0-for-10 on the PP before tonight. They got one from Kane and one from Hertl but at times, the PP still looks awkward. Is there simply too much talent on the ice at the same time? Erik Karlsson said that the power play is a work in progress. Kevin Labanc said that they need to look for the dirty PP goals, instead of the pretty ones.

3. No Thornton, no worries?

Jumbo is out for a while (I know, not the most accurate time frame) but Doug Wilson insisted it being "nothing out of ordinary" and "more likely short-time, than long-term. Let's just believe what Doug says, right? Tonight, the Sharks survived without Jumbo. Evander Kane had two (for a season total of 5) and Joe Pavelski had two as well. Kevin Labanc had four assists. Two assists for Karlsson. The offense was there tonight. Now the question is, can they do this on the most nights? Not 8 goals but something along these lines.

4. Suomela should have had his 1st NHL-goal - had a very active 1st period.

- Antti Suomela, a 24-year-old Finnish rookie forward, scored his first NHL-goal - which was immediately waved off. After the game, Suomela said that the ref told him that the original call would stand. Later in the period, the same ref (Gord Dwyer) told the another Finnish forward, Joonas Donskoi, that he blew the whistle a little too quickly and that it should had been a good goal. Suomela was very active and visible in the first period, with only 2:48 of ice time. He had 5 shots and was visible in both ends of the ice. He finished the night with 7 shots and 11:34 of ice time. Suomela also said that he is getting much more comfortable playing with some of the players he grew up watching.

5. Sharks had 48 shots, most ever in the road game.

- San Jose had 25(!) shots already in the first period. They kept their foot on the gas and broke the record for the most shots in the road game. The prior record was set back in 1996, at Pittsburgh. Kane said that they kept putting the puck to the net early on and it paid off. He also admitted that they got a few lucky bounces on the way. I guess that happens when you have 48 shots in the game…

6. EK-watch: Trust the Process.

- Erik Karlsson is looking better and better every game. We have to remember that the Sharks system is completely different compared to the Sens system (yes, I'm saying that the Sens do have a defensive system) and it'll take some time to adjust. That saying, Karlsson played his best game so far in Philly. He had a great one-timer on the power play early in the first but Brian Elliott was able to stop that one. Karlsson picked up a few assists later in the game, for a total of 0+3 in the season.

Trust the process... not my words.

7. Kevin Labanc had a record-breaking night too...

Not a bad start to the contract year, 5 points in 4 games. Labanc had four assists against the Flyers, most for the Sharks-skater since Pavelski had 4 in 2011. After the game, Labanc said that the team came into Philly “with a chip on their shoulder” and that showed on the ice. He also said that “the team is now looking like a team that everybody was talking about during the preseason”. Kevin, you read preseason power rankings?

8. No morning skate, better legs?

- It wasn't a quite normal back-to-back since the Islanders-game was played in the afternoon, but head coach Pete DeBoer decided to give his players some time off and canceled the morning skate in Philly. "If it wasn't 20-minute drive from the hotel to the rink, we might have done it but I'm glad we didn't. We had good legs and good energy right from the beginning.”

9. Oh, Gritty dropped from the ceiling to “Wrecking Ball” tunes.

Oh yes, Gritty was there. In fact, Gritty dropped from the ceiling, while "Wrecking Ball" (Miley Cyrus, not Bruce Springsteen) was blasting from the loudspeakers. If the Flyers had a fairly disappointing opening night, so did the Flyers DJ. The Athletic -reporter Kevin Kurz called the pregame warm-up mix “probably the worst mix of all time”. Also, there was no need for a goal horn when Wayne Simmonds scored to make it 7-2, with a minute to go.

10. Three stars of the game:

1. Evander Kane 2+0

2. Kevin Labanc 0+4

3. Joe Pavelski 2+0

* honorable mention, Aaron Dell.

September 12 Episode:

* Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch defeated Cezar Bononi & Adrian Joude. Joude works over Danny at the start. Nothing match really

* NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa has a new entrance and finally has music. Ciampa says the music is a personal message to the audience to shut up. He says he’s heard the rumors that he took out Aleister, but when he wants to attack someone, he does it on the biggest stage so you can worship your master. Ciampa says he won’t lie, because the champ never lies. He says he planned on taking out Aleister, but someone beat him to it. If he knew he they were, he’d pat him or her on the head. He says if Aleister made it to Brooklyn, the results would be the same: He Wins. Ciampa says the title has something it wants him to say and that is that it felt really good to be back in the main event of a Takeover. Ciampa says he has one final thing to address, and he wants everyone to listen: the fact is, if you want to be a success, a winner, or a champion, follow the lead of Tomasso Ciampa. Ciampa goes to the kid who Johnny spoke to during his match, takes his Ciampa Sucks sign, and beats it up, tears it in half, and throws it back at the kid

Refs pull her off and check on Violet. Shayna grabs her again and locks the choke on once more. Shayna then tosses her out of the ring before leaving

* Lars Sullivan defeated Raul Mendoza. Lars tosses Raul all over the place and just brutalizes him. Raul attempts to fight back, and sidesteps a charge, sending Lars into the ringpost. Raul with a springboard dropkick. Lars cuts him off with a pop-up powerslam and hits the Freak Accident for the win

* Nikki Cross and Bianca Belair go to a no contest. Nikki ducks a clothesline and waves hi at Bianca. Nikki is fascinated by Bianca’s moves, but Bianca is not amused. Bianca has control with a bearhug. Bianca catches Nikki attempting a crossbody and impressively deadlifts her into a gorilla press. Nikki ducks a clothesline and hits the crossbody. Nikki with stomps in the corner. Nikki hits a splash and goes up top, but Bianca rolls to the apron. Nikki traps Bianca in the ringskirt. Bianca tosses Nikki into the steps and hits her hairwhip. Nikki jumps on her back and gets a sleeper, but Bianca drops back on the ramp and neither can answer the 10, resulting in a double countout. They continue brawling after the match, as refs attempt to keep them apart. Bianca tosses Nikki over the announce table, but Nikki gets on top and hits a diving crossbody off the table to Bianca and the refs. Nikki gets to her feet and celebrates

September 19 Episode:

* Lacey Evans & Aliyah defeated Dakota Kai & Deonna Purrazzo. Good start between Deonna and Lacey. Lacey and Aliyah tag in and out and work over Deonna for most of the match, with your usual heel spots behind the ref’s back. Deonna gets the hot tag to Dakota. Dakota with the running boot and facewash, but Lacey breaks up the pin. Aliyah makes the tag while Dakota goes for an O’Connor Roll, and Lacey hits the Women’s Right for the pin.

* Jaxon Ryker defeated Humberto Carrillo. Ryker is the former Chad Lail, aka Gunner in TNA. Total squash. Ryker knocks Carrillo out of a springboard with an axe handle, and hits a toss powerbomb for the win

They trade blows, but the Undisputed Era run in for the no contest. War Raiders run down and chase them out of the building. War Raiders return to the ring while Undisputed appear on the ramp. Oney and Danny run down and toss Undisputed back into the ring and they get laid out. Cole escapes and taunts that they can’t get him, when Keith Lee appears behind him and tosses him into the ring. They lay Cole out with finishers and pose to send us home. It appears everything after War Raiders chased off Undisputed Era was stuff for the crowd

What We Learned: Turns out taking a lot of penalties is bad

Logan Couture celebrates after burying the Golden Knights in Game 2. (John Locher/AP)

Anyone in their right mind saw that 7-0 Game 1 in the Pacific Division final for what it was: An aberration.

Vegas is perfectly good and the Sharks had a very bad game, and you put those two things together to get an ugly blowout in which the Golden Knights doubled their playoff goal total.

In Game 2, the Sharks were much more dialed-in, and apart from a few lapses that wound up in the back of the net, managed the puck effectively. Their job was made a lot easier by Vegas seemingly insisting on committing a string of dumb penalties that, over the last 70 or so minutes, added up to eventually cost them the game.

This was uncharacteristic, to an extent. In the regular season, the Golden Knights were better than the league average in terms of conceding power plays to their opponents and that had largely been true in the first round as well. But in Game 1, they put San Jose on five power plays, not that it mattered much. And in Game 2 they gave up 8:39 of PK time across seven Sharks power plays and conceded two goals, including Logan Couture’s double-overtime game-winner.

It’s no secret that taking seven penalties, even in four-plus periods of hockey, is not advisable, but it also seemed as though Vegas was having trouble keeping up with the Sharks across the whole of the game. Their goals were not scored through the usual process of very Vegasly dictating the terms on which the game would be contested, but rather by creating a couple turnovers (and a lucky bounce on the first one) and then winning a set play off a draw. The Sharks otherwise ran the show more or less from front to back; Vegas didn’t have a double-digit shot total in any one period.

The problem, then, is pretty clear as the series moves to San Jose: Vegas giving a team with as much fire power as the Sharks 12 power plays in eight periods of hockey is probably courting disaster. This is a team that drew the 10th-most power plays in the league this year, and converted them at a rate above 20 percent, which is usually about the cutoff for “good power play.”

It’s worth noting that San Jose has spent almost as much time on the power play as Vegas so far in this series — 18:28 versus 19:22, both of which are a lot in just two games — but the Sharks put them on 10 in Game 1 alone. Again, that’s a total freak thing, and it’s something that certainly got talked about; in Game 2, Vegas went on just two power plays for a grand total of 138 seconds.

Both of these clubs can absolutely stick a knife in your gut on special teams. One second things are going fine, and the next the game is over because they’re drawing a ton of penalties and, eventually, converting. One can certainly argue that 24 power plays combined in eight periods is entirely too many, and that is the correct read on the situation, but if this is a series in which the refs are going to call every little thing, that probably benefits San Jose more than it does Vegas because the Sharks just don’t take penalties as a general rule; those 10 power plays in Game 1 were equal to almost 5 percent of what they gave up in 82 games in the regular season.

As the series shifts out of Vegas tied at 1-1, this is absolutely the thing for everyone to keep a careful eye on. It’s not so much an issue if refs call it tight because that’s just the tone that’s being set. But if things get called inconsistently, that could put either team in a tough position. You never want guys not knowing what is or isn’t a penalty on any given play, and to be fair that doesn’t seem to have been the case so far. In both games, the teams that committed too many infractions were correctly penalized. It’s fair to say neither team has a real gripe with the officiating, on the balance (though Vegas might be upset with how the two goal reviews went for it on Saturday).

There’s a pretty strong correlation between all these power plays and teams making goalies stand on their heads. Marc-Andre Fleury was stellar again this weekend, facing 47 shots after stopping all 31 the first time out. Meanwhile Martin Jones’s numbers are quite bad (nine allowed on 43) but certainly not under siege. That is to say, San Jose seems to have gotten the better of the possession and if Fleury isn’t lights-out (as opposed to merely “good,” as he was Saturday) then things get a lot more complicated pretty quickly for the Golden Knights.

Special teams truly is the one big storyline so far here and Vegas is quickly learning that these Sharks actually have guys who can put the puck in the net. If Joe Thornton comes back at some point in this series, that’s just another potential issue for, I don’t know, Deryk Engelland to deal with.

At 5-on-5, Vegas and San Jose have been dominant teams in these playoffs, to be sure. But on the PK, both teams have been pretty bad in terms of how many high-quality looks they concede per minute. And if that’s the case, the question becomes how much longer Vegas can count on Fleury to go .940-something on the PK. (He’s also still .993 at 5-on-5. These numbers simply can’t last.)

The rate at which both these clubs can make teams pay for mistakes both in terms of committing penalties and keeping up coverage on the PK means the most likely outcome here is the team that takes the fewest penalties will probably win these games.

Certainly, to keep trying it the way these losing teams have gone is to invite ugly outcomes. Wouldn’t want that to be you.

What We Learned: Playoff edition

Boston Bruins: At this point I just don’t know what you’re supposed to do about that top line anymore. They didn’t exactly dominate territorially, but the extent to which the Bruins were pummeled when they were off the ice, and all the points they collected once again, tells the story pretty effectively. They’re just unstoppable at this point, and any one of them can have a big night and sink your playoff hopes that much deeper. Brad Marchand on Saturday? Just 1-3-4, no big deal.

Nashville Predators: Boy that’s a big comeback game from Pekka Rinne, huh? He made (approximately) six thousand saves and, while some of the goals he gave up weren’t great, you still have to say he was pretty damn phenomenal. It’s weird to say that this game with nine goals was a goaltending duel, but it for sure was. Connor Hellebuyck stopped 37 of 41 at the other end (and got a piece of the game-winner too, because he is my perfect boy). I could watch these games for the rest of my life.

Pittsburgh Penguins: I know we’re all supposed to be insanely mad about the non-goal but any time I see stuff like this I think back to that Flames playoff run a few years back where they appeared to score a goal but then someone explained the parallax view to me and I was like “Ah yeah, that makes sense.” Of course, we should fooooooooooooor suuuuuuuuuuuuure have a damn chip in the puck by now and then we wouldn’t have to explain to people what the damn parallax view is — turns out sports fans don’t wanna talk about geometry a lot when their team loses — but hey, one thing at a time I guess.

San Jose Sharks: Lost in all the “Logan Couture is extremely underrated” talk that sprung out of Saturday’s game (he is, by the way), Brent Burns had a whopper of a night after being terrible in Game 1. If he’s not going for that Sharks defense, it’s a problem, simply because he’s basically always going to play like 24 minutes and that’s a lot of time to be giving a guy who’s not playing well. Put another way, Pete DeBoer will always let Burns work through it, and he’s earned that, but now is not the time to have to work through it, y’know?

Tampa Bay Lightning: Steven Stamkos noted that other than the fact they got blown out, they played well. And that’s one of those things people don’t want to accept but can absolutely be true. Mike Babcock said that after Game 2 in Boston as well, and hey, that series didn’t end up being a blowout or anything. In the end, the better team won Game 7 and frankly I would be surprised if the Bruins didn’t win this series too, but these are two good teams and sometimes good teams can make other good teams look bad when they get the bounces and so on. If the Bruins keep getting outshot 36-24 or something similar, 6-2 wins aren’t likely to keep happening here.

Vegas Golden Knights: The fact that so many penalties were taken by Vegas’s depth players in this series probably says something about the disparity in quality between San Jose and themselves when you get further down the lineup. Vegas’s depth has always been overrated once you get off those top two lines, and if they’re not gonna help by scoring goals (probably not!) and are gonna hurt by continually taking penalties (possible!) then that strikes me as … a problem.

Washington Capitals: Man I gotta tell ya, even when the Caps were up 3-1 late in the game, you had to be like, “Surely the Pens are gonna get one back.” They didn’t but that’s the power of Knowing The Caps Will Blow It. I can’t imagine the psychic weight that has for the team itself, but that’s extremely a real thing that everyone with even a passing familiarity with the sport carries in their hearts and minds.

Winnipeg Jets: That extra-attacker goal to force overtime was the most inevitable goal I have seen in these playoffs. The shot off the post and the Preds not getting a body on a guy parked between the hashmarks was inviting a big problem. Mark Schiefele missed that look once. He wasn’t gonna miss it twice. My man is just too hot right now.

Play of the Weekend

The finish to roof this puck at this speed is absolutely stunning.

Gold Star Award

Logan Couture is a borderline-elite player but few will discuss this!!!!

Minus of the Weekend

I totally get the league refusing to let the Canucks send their dumb mascot to the draft lottery thing. Like, it would have been insanely funny, but I get it. And I’m mad about it, but I get it. And that’s all it should be next season, but I get it.

Perfect HFBoards Trade Proposal of the Week

User “Kshahdoo” is really trying to help the Oilers.

Skinner + 2nd overall for Draisaitl + 10th overall

Signoff

Ye… I… y’know th… one thing I sho… excuse me for one second.

Vixens Championship Elimination Chamber Finale

Shayna Baszler's pod opened, and the Queen of Spades surveyed the environment around her. The Elimination Chamber was not unlike the Octogon cages she used to find herself fighting in, and one could argue, especially being the freshest woman in this match, that she could be the favorite to win. Lilith Brookes stared down Baszler as she slowly got into the ring. Lilith quickly charged at Baszler, trying to get a jump on her, but Baszler took Brookes down with a double leg takedown, and began hammering away at the silver haired Vixen! Lilith did her best to cover up, but Baszler was all over her, hammering away with right hands! Baszler got off of Brookes, and looked around the ring for another target, before going right after the champion, Rosemary, who was just starting to recover from being jumped on from the top of the pod by Mia Yim. Shayna lifted up Rosemary, and tossed her across the ring with a German suplex, causing the demon assassin to land right on the back of her neck! Shayna got back up, looking for another target, but almost took a pause when the woman standing across the ring from her was her own girlfriend, Mia Yim. The two looked at each other for a long time, locking eyes. They both gave each other a nod, and it appeared they would be working together, as they both turned their attention to Charlotte. Shayna ran over and practically gator rolled Charlotte, as Mia ran over and began kicking the second generation Vixen. Shayna lifted Charlotte up and planted her with a scoop slam. Shayna then looked around the ring, looking for her next target, as Mia stayed on Charlotte. Shayna walked over to Rosemary, trying to get a jump on the demon assassin. She waved Mia over, and the two women tossed the champion out of the ring, and onto the steel floor. The two then got out of the ring, and lifted up Rosemary for a double suplex, but instead of suplexing her back onto the steel, they rammed her body into the steel wall of the chamber! And then they slammed her on the steel floor! Rosemary arched her back in agony, the demon screaming out in pain! The pained screams soon turned to laugher, however, because the champion obviously enjoys the pain. Mia and Shayna went to move on, but suddenly, from the sky, off the top rope, came Lilith Brookes with a Cross body, taking both women out on the outside! Lilith threw Mia back into the ring, before lifting her onto her shoulders and climbing to the top rope. Lilith then jumped off with Mia on her shoulders, planting Mia with a Super Death Valley Driver! Mia got up quickly, but she was very obviously in a daze, and didn't quite realize what was going on. Lilith lifted her onto her shoulders, and connected with Killing Spree! GTS to Mia! Lilith covered!

1...2...-

Shayna pulled Lilith off and locked her into a rear naked choke! Shayna had her bicep around Lilith's throat, her arms locked, and her legs dug in! Lilith had no escape! Lilith was turning blue! The ref had to ring the bell, Shayna had choked the life out of Lilith!

"Lilith Brookes has been eliminated!"

Baszler eliminates Brookes! The rookie would have to wait for another day for her coronation! Shayna started to help Mia up, but with Mia still dazed from the DVD and the GTS, she didn't realize it was Shayna, and caught her across the jaw with a forearm! Shayna was knocked back a few steps, but looked more offended than she actually did hurt. Shayna asked Mia what gives, and Mia attempted to be apologetic, but a shove from Baszler quickly changed her tone! Mia fired back with another forearm, and Shayna responded with a straight right hand to Mia's jaw! Mia dropped to the mat, out from that punch, but Rosemary had been perched behind Mia, and Rosemary surprised Shayna with the mist to the face! Shayna was blinded now, and she screamed in agony as her flesh burned. Rosemary scooped up Shayna, and dropped her with the Red Wedding!

1...2...3!

"Shayna Baszler has been eliminated!"

It was down to three women now, as Rosemary, Charlotte, and Mia Yim remained. One of these Vixens would be walking away with the Vixens title, arguably, the three best pure wrestlers in HCCW, female or otherwise.

Mia was finally getting up to her feet, and it looked like Rosemary was waiting for her, but as Mia stood up, and Rosemary went to attack her, suddenly Charlotte came out of nowhere, spearing both women! Both women were down now, and Charlotte seemed to take her chance, climbing up to the top rope! She had Mia where she wanted her, but as she attempted the moonsault, Mia rolled out of the way! Charlotte got back to her feet, staggering, as Mia got up and nailed Charlotte with a Superkick! Charlotte hit the mat and rolled out of the ring, but suddenly, Rosemary got up and drove Mia into the corner with a shoulder! Rosemary began hammering away at Mia with forearms in the corner, before lifting her onto the top rope, and putting Mia on her shoulders as she climbed! Rosemary was going for a top rope Red Wedding!

Rosemary flung Mia off her shoulders as she fell, but Mia grabbed ahold of Rosemary's head, turning the top rope Red Wedding into a top rope Tornado DDT! Mia covered Rosemary!

1...2... kickout!

Rosemary somehow kicked out of that! Could Rosemary even be pinned?! Was it possible?!

Mia was certainly going to try, as she was back up now, climbing for the top rope, calling for the 450 Splash. Mia got to the top and executed the move, but came down right onto the raised knees of the champion! Mia held her ribs as she rolled off, and Rosemary got up, getting perched for the Red Wedding! Mia was lifted onto her shoulders, but suddenly, Charlotte came into the ring and nailed Rosemary with a big boot to the face! Rosemary was stunned, and Mia slipped off her shoulders, grabbing Rosemary, turning her around, hooking her arms and legs, and spiking Rosemary into the mat with the Package Piledriver! Mia covered!

1...2...3!

"Rosemary has been eliminated!"

Wow! The champ was out! The Champion had been eliminated! We are guaranteed to have a new Vixens Champion tonight, either Mia Yim or Charlotte Flair!

Mia Yim got up, briefly celebrating, but suddenly, Charlotte rolled her up from behind!

1...2... kickout!

Mia Yim escaped the quick rollup attempt, and got up, quickly launching a Superkick at Charlotte, but Charlotte caught it, and kicked out Mia's other leg, before locking in the Figure 4, quickly bridging over into the Figure 8! Mia Yim was in deep trouble!

Mia began clawing her way to ropes, even though a rope break wouldn't manage to break the hold. Mia eventually got there, but there was nothing the ref could do! There were no rope breaks in the chamber! Mia continued to pull herself out under the bottom rope, however, the ropes practically forcing Charlotte to release the hold, as Charlotte could no longer get the angle she wanted to apply the proper pressure on Mia's legs. Mia was free, but the damage had been done, as she had to use the chain link on the chamber to help herself up to her feet. Charlotte quickly rolled out of the ring, and began to measure Mia, before charging at her, and spearing Mia right through the pod! The bulletproof plexiglass exploded with the impact! Mia was speared right through the pod by Charlotte!

Mia and Charlotte both took a long time to recover, but it seemed Mia was able to crawl out from the wreckage. This seemed to be a big mistake, as Charlotte was able to crawl out behind her, and measure Mia, before delivering Natural Selection right onto the steel! Mia was slammed into the steel, face first, but Charlotte also took a flat back bump right onto the steel as well!

Mia rolled back into the ring, as Charlotte tended to her back, Mia still the worse for wear out of the two women. Charlotte stalked Mia as Mia crawled to the center of the ring, before delivering another Natural Selection to the Blue Haired Warrior! Charlotte covered!

1...2...3!

"Here is your winner, and NEW HCCW Vixens Champion, Charlotte Flair!"

Charlotte had done it! Charlotte survived the Elimination Chamber, and Charlotte was now the HCCW Vixens Champion! Syn, Pete Dunne, and Sami Callihan of the Plague ran out to the ring to celebrate with their teammate, hoisting Charlotte onto her shoulders to celebrate as the crowd went nuts.

"WOO!"

Suddenly, as they carried Charlotte up the ramp, the unmistakable music of the Nature Boy, Ric Flair, Charlotte's father, played throughout the Las Vegas arena, as the legend himself came from behind the curtain with tears in his eyes. Charlotte's teammates set her down, and Charlotte went running up to her father, the two embracing in a hug, before Ric pulled away, kissed his daughter on the forehead, and raised her hand for the crowd.

Charlotte Flair was on top of the Vixens division! What an amazing, feel good moment to start out Elimination Chamber!

Your Friday Morning Roundup

Today’s Friday is more enjoyable. The Eagles are 5-1. The Nationals are out of the NLDS, again. But we’ll stick with the Eagles for now.

Catch up or relive some of the best parts of the game in our live thread. There were some great moments, but also plenty of bad ones, especially when EVERY PENALTY EXCEPT ONE WAS AGAINST THE EAGLES. How this is possible I still don’t understand, but the Birds defeated the Panthers and Pete Morelli’s old ass last night.

This was the first time in NFL history one team had over 120 penalty yards while the other had fewer than 10.

— Dave Zangaro (@DZangaroNBCS) October 13, 2017

The Panthers had one penalty for one yard. That was on the two-point conversion on which the refs never gave the option for Pederson to go for two in the first place.

And we did it without Lane Johnson.

Also, Nigel Bradham played out of his mind on defense. He made plenty of big tackles that stopped drives for Carolina, and Mychal Kendricks played a big role when Jordan Hicks left the game in the second half.

Leading tacklers:

Mychal Kendricks 17 Nigel Bradham 12

Wow http://pic.twitter.com/JGW6ZuJWAn

Meanwhile, Jimmy Kempski gives out his 10 awards from the game, Paul Domowitch lists five quick observations, and Les Bowen on the offensive line improving after a very rough start.

But isn’t this such a sweet feeling?

The Roundup:

The Sixers play their preseason finale tonight against the Miami Heat in Kansas City. Markelle Fultz is questionable with knee soreness.

This is Joel Embiid’s homecoming after spending his lone college season with the Jayhawks. His status is unknown, but he says he’s playing. He also misses the KU campus:

“I don’t know if anyone knows this story, but I actually decided to stay because I love this place so much,” Embiid said about the time after his freshman season. “But I was kind of pushed to leave” for the NBA. “But I love this place so much.”

Part of the reason is that Embiid blossomed into an elite basketball player during his lone season at Kansas. He said he wouldn’t have been the third pick in the draft without coming here. That’s why Embiid was overjoyed to practice in the fieldhouse.

“I’m really thankful,” he said.

Wanting to take in the campus, Embiid opted not to ride the team bus to practice. He walked from the team hotel to the fieldhouse.

Embiid playing is good for the Sixers. But is it also bad?

For success-starved fans of the 76ers, it must have been both glorious and nerve-racking to watch Embiid eviscerate the Nets. For every brilliant play that he made — and there were more than a few, including the 40-footer that he swished during a dead ball — there was a more minor-key moment when he flirted with danger. Was that a slight grimace after he took a fall in the second quarter? An almost imperceptible limp after a tumble in the third?

Basketball is a physical sport, and contact is unavoidable. But forgive those fans who would prefer that Embiid cover himself with bubble wrap.

Brown understands. He used the word “reckless” to describe Embiid’s Tonka Truck style — “He doesn’t know any other way to play,” Brown said — but expressed hope that Embiid would settle into a more conservative frame of mind once his playing time is more consistent, an imposing prospect for the rest of the Eastern Conference.

18 years ago yesterday, Wilt Chamberlain passed away at the age of 63.

Thank god NBC Sports I’m Also Not Calling Them By Their Full Name And I’ll Stick With Philly aired the Sixers-Nets game on Wednesday. This fan base is unbelievable. They won’t broadcast tonight’s game, but that’s fine.

—

The Phillies plan to interview Indians pitching coach Mickey Callaway for their managerial job.

So far, the team has interviewed Juan Samuel, Dusty Wathan, and Jorge Velandia.

Ryan Lawrence grades each hitter:

Aaron Altherr, A-

Phillies fans should thank Howie Kendrick for his inability to stay on the field, eh? As a result, Altherr, who was deserving of more playing time coming out of camp, got it and thrived. He was one of 36 major league outfielder with at least 18 home runs and a .340 or higher OBP in 2017. The only knock on Altherr was that he was once again slowed by injuries. He hit .228 with a .288 OBP in his final 28 games (after the first or two stints on the DL with a hamstring injury in mid-July).

Rhys Hoskins, A

We really don’t have to explain this one, do we? Hoskins basically did in Philadelphia what Gary Sanchez did for the New York Yankees the previous season, arriving on the scene late and creating nightly Home Run Derby drama. (Notable: Sanchez finished second in the 2016 A.L. Rookie of the Year voting, despite playing in just 53 games.). Hoskins slowed down in the season’s 2 1/2 weeks, but even with that slump, only Aaron Judge had more walks after August 31. Extra credit to Hoskins for playing predominantly at a position (left field) he hadn’t taken reps at since college prior to two months ago.

—

The Flyers plan to unveil a new Ed Snider statue at the Wells Fargo center next Thursday, the 50th anniversary of the team’s first ever home game.

Custom created and built by Chad Fisher, of Fisher Sculpture of Dillsburg, PA, the nine-foot tall, 1,300-pound bronze statue will stand on a three-foot base encased by solid granite. The process, which took eight months from start to finish, began in the Archives office of the Wells Fargo Center where Fisher selected photos of Snider to base his design. Fisher met with members of the Snider Family and Comcast Spectacor executives to agree on the proper layout.

The statue is being unveiled on the 50th anniversary of the first-ever Philadelphia Flyers home game when the team made its debut at the Spectrum against the Pittsburgh Penguins on October 19, 1967.

In other sports news, the Cubs defeated the Nationals 9-8 to advance to the NLCS. Washington can’t get out of the first round once again.

Ezekiel Elliott’s six-game suspension was reinstated by a court ruling, but don’t expect it to be the end of this saga.

Michael Jordan is not a fan of the superteams:

“I think it’s going to hurt the overall aspect of the league from a competitive standpoint…You’re going to have one or two teams that are going to be great, and another 28 teams that are going to be garbage. Or they’re going to have a tough time surviving in the business environment.”

NFL Dad, Week 8: Halloween is my daughter’s Super Bowl

Here’s what seven hours of RedZone is like when your two young kids can’t go outside because it’s raining.

As a lazy person, it’s hard to enjoy Halloween. When I was single, the thought and effort that a costume required always made me want to crawl in bed and hide from the holiday. Only the promise of alcohol and sexy costumes lured me into participation.

Kids have changed all that. As a parent, you get to spend WEEKS hyping up your kids for Halloween, brainstorming costume ideas, and talking about candy. The last part is especially fun, because my wife and I deprive our children of candy all year long. Cake? Sure, if there’s a party. A donut? Probably once a week. Ice cream? Well, maybe as a special treat. But candy almost never happens, save for the occasional lollipop at the doctor’s office. Halloween is their Super Bowl.

And even though trick-or-treating is only one night, we are getting some MILEAGE out of this year’s costumes — shark for my son (our choice), ghost for my daughter (her choice). Last Sunday, our friends had a Halloween-themed birthday party. On Friday, our nanny took the kids to a costume party. Monday: another Halloween party. Tuesday: daughter wears costume to school AND we’ve got trick-or-treating that night. I am getting to be a PRO at hand-washing chocolate out of these costumes. And I’m barely a day away from stealing half my kids’ candy after they go to bed Tuesday night.

So much of the parent experience is trading away the things you used to love to do for soul-filling love and constant exhaustion; it’s a surprise and a delight when the trade is suddenly enjoying something you never liked as an adult.

EARLY GAMES, FIRST HALF

— RedZone has seven early games on the docket today, and Scott Hanson shows us the lineup in OCTOBOX format, with the eighth box a weather map of the Eastern seaboard. The forecast: lots of rain.

— It’s raining here in New York, too. I took some photos of my kids in their rain slickers, but I’m not going to share them because my son’s hair looks like Jon Gruden’s. And maybe Gruden’s OK being seen in public with that hair, but I’m going to raise my children better than that.

Maybe Gruden’s OK being seen with that haircut, but I’m going to raise my children better than that.

Incidentally, I took the photos on the way to get his hair cut. I asked for a low fade and the barber gave him a high fade that wasn’t blended very well, so he ended up with the preferred haircut of stylish soccer players and media-savvy Nazis. And let me be crystal clear: My 18-month-old son is not a neo-Nazi. He doesn’t even have a Reddit account.

— The Saints’ Alvin Kamara scores the first touchdown of the day, and I reject this world where Drew Brees relies on a competent running game. THROW FOR 5000 YARDS OR RETIRE!

I like Kamara, though. I’m not messing with anyone whose name is a jiu-jitsu submission.

— I put my daughter down for her nap, and when I come back to the living room, Melvin Gordon is running untouched for an 87-yard TD to give the Chargers an early 7-0 lead over the Pats. I picked the Chargers at +7 today, so this pleases me.

HE WILL GO ALL THE WAY!@melvingordon25. 87 yards to the HOUSE. #Chargers http://pic.twitter.com/mOTI7SKWm9

— NFL (@NFL) October 29, 2017

— I’m a little worried about my daughter’s nap. We’re potty-training her right now — she’s behind schedule, I KNOW, the broken collarbone really set us back — and she wouldn’t pee on the little toddler potty before her nap. She hasn’t peed since we changed her overnight diaper and put her in undies this morning. You can lead a toddler to the potty, but you can’t make her pee.

So my wife and I tell her, “Hey, if you feel you have to go pee-pee, call us and we’ll help you use the potty.” But the last couple days, this has just led to a wet bed and more laundry. YAY, MORE LAUNDRY!

— Wait, we gotta talk about C.J. Beathard’s face. The camera cut to him and he BARELY had more confidence and composure than Bill Paxton in Aliens.

You can smell the fear on him.

— With the score tied at 7 at MetLife, Matt Ryan loses a fumbled snap for the second time today that leads to a Jets field goal. I know it’s raining, but it’s also still the first half. Get your shit together, Falcons. Or don’t, I picked the Jets +4.5.

— Ah, I see the Colts are in the red zone. Time for a nap!

— I open my eyes 24 minutes later, and the only eye-raising change in scoring is in New England, where the Pats have improved from a 7-7 lead to take the lead, 12-7. Apparently, Travis Benjamin crapped his brain out of his butt in the middle of a punt return.

Worth it for the refs signaling safety at the exact same time, though.

— I’m typing today with a Band-Aid on my right index finger, having sliced my fingertip with a pumpkin saw while carving our jack-o’-lantern the night before. No medical attention needed, but I lost a little flap of skin that has me playing through pain today. I’m a gamer, though. Don’t worry about it affecting the column.

— Cincinnati, playing at home against the Colts, has had a lackluster first half, but this Joe Mixon screen is electric.

.@andydalton14 finds @Joe_MainMixon and he nearly goes the distance! #Bengals50 http://pic.twitter.com/saSRSZiC9C

— NFL (@NFL) October 29, 2017

That sets up a short touchdown to A.J. Green to tie the game at 10.

POINT OF ORDER: I will be actively avoiding this game the rest of the afternoon. These teams are butt. Also, I have yet to mention Carolina-Tampa Bay at all today. That is not an accident.

— Josh McCown tosses a gorgeous sideline throw to Robby Anderson, who got past Desmond Trufant. It’s 17-10 Jets, and if they win today I’m calling it: The Falcons are trapped in a body-swap movie.

— This morning I went to church with my family, and this may surprise you, but toddlers aren’t really wired for an hour of Catholic mass. I took the kids out to the adjoining courtyard so they could burn off some steam. The rain had let up but it was still wet, so naturally they both immediately fell on their faces/butts and got soaked.

They kept playing, though. The key feature of the courtyard was a four-foot ramp at a 15- or 20-degree angle. My daughter ran down it repeatedly, each time saying, “I shoot down the slide!” My son is also eager to run down the ramp, but he’s only a year and a half old — he’s barely mastered walking. He’s all desire, no skill.* So I stage at the bottom of the ramp and catch him before he can eat a face full of concrete.

*This sentence also sums up my athletic career after the age of 11.

Every generation has its Ted Ginn.

— The Bills score a defensive touchdown to open up a commanding lead on the Raiders, then Steven Hauschka forces a fumble on the ensuing kickoff. And I saw a lot of love and surprise on Twitter — “Wow! The kicker!” — but not nearly enough people were pointing at the exquisitely talented doofus who fumbled: Cordarrelle Patterson. He can’t do something awesome without disappointing you the following week. Every generation has its Ted Ginn, it seems.

EARLY GAMES, SECOND HALF

— My wife is taking the lead on tonight’s dinner, a pot roast recipe from Ina Garten. Now, I love Ina Garten; she’s a total boss. But if you’re going to try a recipe of hers, know that:

It will require a cut of meat that costs a staggering amount of money. “I go to my butcher and get four pounds of filet...” (Recipe serves 2.)

It will require about 150% of the work in any other cookbook to taste maybe 10% better. Related: Ina Garten does not have children.

She will demand that you use “good olive oil.” It is never just “olive oil.” Ina suspects you have cheap olive oil and a separate bottle of good stuff for special occasions. Guess what, bitch? EVERY INA GARTEN RECIPE IS A SPECIAL OCCASION. Don’t disrespect her art with shitty olive oil!

— Behold, the majesty of a Philip Rivers pump fake:

Let’s check in on Philip Rivers http://pic.twitter.com/MbkDJysXMe

— Pete Blackburn (@PeteBlackburn) October 29, 2017

Rivers recovered his own fumble (the least he could do after forcing it), and on the very next play, he hucks it downfield. When the ball re-enters the atmosphere, there is one Chargers receiver on the screen, and SIX Patriots defenders.

Next play: Throws into sextuple coverage http://pic.twitter.com/Yhbo2I2EhU

— Pete Blackburn (@PeteBlackburn) October 29, 2017

I love that intense weirdo SO MUCH. The Philip Rivers Quarterback Experience is like if the star of the debate team also had Tourette’s.

— My wife: “You picked great leeks, Matt.” Hell yeah I did! I have an eye for fine produce. But chopping four leeks and two large onions in a small apartment with all the bedroom doors closed is tough sledding for people with sensitive eyes. I open a window three inches; rain INSTANTLY soaks five children’s books on the sill.

— With the Bears trailing 14-3, Mitchell Trubisky throws to Zach Miller, who makes a great catch for the touchdown! Oh no, Miller stays down. Seems hurt. OH GOD I SAW THE REPLAY. Look away from the TV! Look at the computer! OH GOD I SAW THE GIF. UGHUGHGHHHHHH. (Update: Miller almost lost his leg due to vascular damage. Jesus.)

Dude, I JUST saw Gordon Hayward’s ankle snapped on live TV a few days ago. Hey, sports? Can we go a week or two without maiming someone, please?

AND THEY OVERTURNED THE TOUCHDOWN. WTF, YOU REFS ARE ANIMALS.

If you break your leg on the catch it should be a catch

— Evil Dead 2 Magary (@drewmagary) October 29, 2017

If you break your leg while even vaguely holding onto the ball it should always be ruled a catch

— Pablo S. Torre (@PabloTorre) October 29, 2017

— My daughter calls us, much more urgently than she usually does after her nap. My wife rushes in. Incredibly, my kid held her piss in throughout her nap, and actually used the potty. HUZZAH!

Even more incredibly, she didn’t pee between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. NOT GREAT. We’re gonna have to get better about that or next week’s column is gonna be about bladder infections.

— Here’s a cool Alshon Jeffery touchdown:

"GET OFF ME." - @TheWorldof_AJ, probably. Touchdown, @Eagles! #FlyEaglesFly http://pic.twitter.com/aMeckAYr3i

— NFL (@NFL) October 29, 2017

Consider that the shot that puts this one away for the Eagles. And now a 49ers chaser:

Fun stat: 49ers have only won three of their last 27 games, all of them against the Rams.

— Vince Mancini (@Filmdrunk) October 29, 2017

— I have a note that just says, “rasperries and laughter,” but I no longer remember the specific context. I think my daughter was laughing because my son was trying to blow raspberries on her, so I pulled up his shirt and blew raspberries on his stomach, causing him to shriek with laughter. That sounds right, but I could be mixing that up with other memories.

(I should note that in between writing that three-word note and trying to expand it into a paragraph, I watched Texans-Seahawks and Game 5 of the World Series. My brain has been puréed into a sports smoothie with an Adrenaline Boost™. A day later, I only see my two children in the context of lead changes. Great hug! I love THIS one more now!)

— On 3rd and goal, Matt Ryan scrambles to his left and finds Mohammed Sanu at the back of the end zone to give the Falcons a 22-17 lead. Ryan then fumbles the snap on the two-point conversion. Even when the Falcons are winning this year, they do it in the least convincing way possible.

Even when the Falcons are winning, they do it in the least convincing way.

— My wife takes the dog for a walk in the rain, as well as the kettlebell with legs that passes for my younger child. My daughter cuddles next to me on the couch. I put my arm around her and give her context about the teams on the field (“Do you know what a buccaneer is?” —No. “A buccaneer is a pirate”), but mostly, we sit together quietly. This is approximately as content and fulfilled as I can be.

— PERSONAL GAMBLING HELL UPDATE: The Jets, trailing 22-20, are about to get the ball back late in the game and look like excellent candidates to cover the 4.5-point spread. They fumble the punt because they’re the GODDAMN IDIOT JETS. The Falcons OF COURSE kick a field goal to go up by five. New York will have a chance to win the game if they can go 90 yards with no timeouts in 50 seconds, but I don’t need to give you the details on why that doesn’t work out.

The Pats kick a field goal to take an eight-point lead with one minute remaining, and I agonize over the Chargers’ mistakes that will cost them a cover: Benjamin’s idiotic safety, a failed two-point conversion. I am SO happy I don’t put actual money on these games. I would ruin my family.

The Saints have the ball, a five-point lead, and a pressing need for one more score to cover 9 points at home. Stupid Bears. There’s a glimmer of hope after Brees throws a bomb downfield, but shortly after Mark Ingram loses a fumble — his second of the game — and the Bears have a chance to win. (The Bears do not capitalize. The Saints kick a field goal at the end of the game to push the lead to 8. THANKS FOR NOTHING, JERK-ASS.)

— A Bengals defensive lineman makes an incredible play for a pick-6 that gives Cincy the lead. This game is still butt, but at least it’s functionally over.

— Wife and son and dog are back, and I dry my dog off with an old towel. When Stella gets wet, she obsesses over drying off. She gleefully wags her entire body into the towel, and she rubs her face in between my legs to dry her face off.

Yes, a 65-pound dog shoving its face under your crotch is disconcerting.

And in case you’re wondering, a 65-pound dog forcefully shoving her face under your crotch is SUPER disconcerting. I’ve had her for a decade, so I’m used to it now, but she’s also done it to strangers before. It’s a helluva way to meet your neighbors.

— Philip Rivers has no timeouts and a running clock to get a touchdown. And if you thought the self-fumble and sextuple-coverage heave was his two-play highlight of the day, AU CONTRAIRE. T’was merely an appetizer for this delicacy:

Philip Rivers emphatically celebrating a spike with 1 second left is the most Philip Rivers thing I've seen since Week 1 #Chargers http://pic.twitter.com/SOXBeKM78I

— Clay Wendler (@ClayWendler) October 29, 2017

The next and final play is an interception floated into the arms of a Pats defender. In fact, there seem to be about five Patriots closer to making a play on the ball than the nearest Charger.

LATE GAMES, FIRST HALF

— With six teams on bye, there are only two late games for RedZone to toggle between: Texans-Seahawks and Cowboys-Washington. They’re good games, but at some point I’d almost prefer a commercial break to Scott Hanson narrating sponsored highlights. “No commercials here on RedZone! And now for Fantasy Feedback, presented by Genesis.”

— As a Seahawks fan, I’m cautiously optimistic about today. I think the offense will perform well, and the run defense can bottle up Lamar Miller. I expect DeAndre Hopkins to win a couple battles versus Richard Sherman, but over the course of the game, I expect the defense and crowd to be a little too much for a rookie quarterback, even one as good as Deshaun Watson.

My biggest concern early is actually Will Fuller. If the Texans can get him the ball early, before the Seahawks have a chance to adjust to how fast he is ... oh look, RedZone’s flipping to Seattle now.

.@deshaunwatson goes DEEEEEP. And @Will_Fuller7 gets behind the LOB for SIX. #Texans http://pic.twitter.com/vDFvZPVeiG

— NFL (@NFL) October 29, 2017

CRAP.

— The Texans continue to movie the ball with ease, but on 3rd and 10 with the Texans in field goal range, Earl Thomas jumps a route and takes it for six the other way.

Know where @Earl_Thomas is on the field at ALL times... PICK-6. #Seahawks #LOB http://pic.twitter.com/j4EZXZHlMs

— NFL (@NFL) October 29, 2017

Any time there’s an interception in the secondary, the analysts always say how the defensive back read the quarterback’s eyes. But there’s more to it than that:

Texans lined up Hopkins in the slot to get Sherman in space, Thomas had a pretty strong idea of where the ball was going.

— Bill Barnwell (@billbarnwell) October 29, 2017

Earl Thomas benefits from instincts and speed that most safeties would kill for, but he’s not just reading a quarterback’s eyes. Formations, route combinations, down and distance, and a quarterback’s tendencies all get plugged into a pre-snap calculus that helps Thomas figure out where the ball’s likely to go before the QB has even made a decision.

I’m not the kind of guy who watches All-22, but Earl Thomas makes me want to.

— Washington is wearing throwback uniforms, and I’m annoyed that their burgundies don’t match.

The jerseys are damn near purple, and while that may be partly due to the rain, the gold numbers are also markedly different than the yellow on the helmets.

And to you homers getting ready to mansplain it: I already KNOW that the NFL doesn’t let teams change their base helmets for any uniform. It’s a bad rule, and these uniforms look like ass because of it.

(Washington could have dealt with this by making the throwbacks match today’s helmets. All the old photos are black and white, who cares if the hue is historically accurate? I mean, if you want REALLY accurate Washington throwbacks, only the white players should wear them. Just the way George Marshall intended!)

— In an attempt to lessen our laundry workload by one percent, my wife tries to trick our daughter into organizing a pile of her socks into pairs. My daughter instantly recognizes that it’s a chore and hurls the socks around the room, resulting in one percent more work for us.

— Trailing 14-7, the Seahawks challenge a 3rd-and-2 incomplete pass. Russell Wilson had his throwing motion disrupted by Jadeveon Clowney, and Pete Carroll wants it ruled a fumble — the ball went downfield and was recovered by tight end Luke Willson.

This game is powered by hallucinogenic speedballs.

After review, the refs agree: First down, Seahawks. Finally, the Seahawks’ “Let defensive linemen assault our quarterback” offense is starting to pay off.

On the next play, Wilson throws a touchdown to Paul Richardson. It’s 14-14 in the first quarter, and this game is powered by hallucinogenic speedballs.

— The Cowboys go for it on 4th and 1 a few yards short of midfield. They’re down 10-7 early in the game — the circumstances aren’t dire, but it’s the sort of situation where the numbers say GO FOR IT while football coaches scream PUNT. It’s good to see Jason Garrett is willing to let his kickass line and Zeke Elliott execute those favorable odds. The Cowboys get the first.

— MIRACLE: Both of my kids are eating their dinner without complaint or hesitation. They ignore the TV to pay attention to the Halloween book my wife is reading. Years from now, when their grade school teacher praises their attention spans, I’m gonna get up in the middle of the parent-teacher conference and do Mick Jagger’s rooster strut.

— Crap, Will Fuller has another TD. Look at this awesome play design:

ANOTHER @Will_Fuller7 TD grab in Seattle! #Texans http://pic.twitter.com/4WroLy1s7A

— NFL (@NFL) October 29, 2017

Fuller now has seven touchdowns on, like, four catches this season.

Moments later, Russell Wilson responds with a downfield heave that Tanner McEvoy hauls in for a 53-yards gain. That sets up Paul Richardson’s second touchdown. Tie game again, 21-21.

— Washington kicks a field goal to go up 13-7. Or maybe 13-10? I dunno, it’s hard to pay much attention to this game. Dallas-Washington is like a football game in the rain when the other viewing option is a burning fireworks factory.

LATE GAMES, SECOND HALF

— Can I cut the bullshit for a second? I do not want to be a Seahawks fan narrating play-by-play for the game of the year that the Seahawks end up winning. That would be very fun to do for our Seahawks blog, but that’s more hollerin’ than I’d feel good about for this here national site.

From a slightly more objective viewpoint, I want to point out that the highlight package from this game is MORE THAN 12 MINUTES LONG. I’m going to embed the video even though the NFL usually blocks it from being played on any site but YouTube. That’s how good it is.

youtube

OK, back to diary mode. I promise: Minimal fist-pumping from here on out.

— After a sack pushes the Texans out of field goal range, Watson faces 3rd and 14. All he does is calmly avoid pressure, set up his downfield blocking (RIP Justin Coleman), and get just enough for the first down.

Patience. @DeshaunWatson sets up his blocking, rushes for first down. #Texans http://pic.twitter.com/lpLeEzEcnx

— NFL (@NFL) October 29, 2017

The Texans kick a field goal and retake the lead.

— The pot roast sauce is boiling, and my wife is busy giving our daughter a bath. I bring it down to a simmer, add a butter/flour mixture to thicken the sauce, and remove the scorched wood-handled spatula from its proximity to the burner. Man, a kitchen fire would have really spiced the end of this column up, huh?

— The Seahawks TWICE have to settle for field goals despite having the ball inside the Texans’ 5-yard line, and even though they have their first lead of the day, it feels like a missed opportunity. There’s no chance the Texans are done scoring touchdowns.

— Washington loses a fumble, and somewhere while I was paying attention to the better game, the Cowboys seized control of this game. With a better line and a better running game, the away team looks unlikely to cede the lead.

When the camera cuts to the sidelines, everyone looks miserable. And I don’t just mean the home team, I mean EVERYONE: the players, the fans, the camera operators, the refs. It’s SO MUCH rain. Playing sports in the rain can be fun, but I can’t imagine watching it for three hours while standing in a deluge. Not without Wellingtons, dry-fit winter socks, and three Camelbaks of whiskey and hot cider.

— I’ve been pausing RedZone on and off so I can help with the kids’ bedtime routine — bath time, pajamas, brushing teeth, etc. By the time they go to bed, the Cowboys are up by ten with a quarter to play, and there are 11 minutes left in the Texans-Seahawks game.

Rather than go haymaker-by-haymaker, I’m going to add up the numbers: In the final 11 minutes of that game, there are five plays of 34 yards or more, four touchdowns, and two interceptions. That’s half a season for the Browns!

— The pot roast is pretty good, by the way. Our entire apartment smells like red wine and red meat. Probably not worth the cost or the effort (in other words, a typical Ina Garten recipe), but this will be the foundation of three meals for us this week. Pre-made meals are the cornerstone of a good marriage when you have kids.

— Trailing by four, the Seahawks have 1:39 and no timeouts to get a touchdown. They go 80 yards in three plays. Paul Richardson goes up and steals a 48-yard bomb, Tyler Lockett snags a 19-yarder, and Jimmy Graham goes uncovered on the game-winning score. As a wildly cynical Seahawks fan, I am agog at the ease and speed with which they pull it off; I barely had time to worry about failure before they took the lead.

The defense does much the same thing: With two timeouts and 21 seconds, a game-tying field goal isn’t out of the question for the Texans -- it might even be an easy assumption given this game. But Frank Clark sacks Watson on first down, and Richard Sherman’s second pick ends the game. What an absolutely incredible game.

Two of the best in the game. #Seahawks #Texans http://pic.twitter.com/hlQx2dzYci

— It has come to my attention that I started Dak Prescott over Russell Wilson in fantasy football. WHOOPS.

Has The NFL’s Instant Replay Run Its Course?

Of course, pass interference is only reviewable because of this year’s offseason rule change — a reaction to another pass-interference no-call that also knocked the Saints out of the playoffs.

If zero coaches’ challenges of pass-interference penalties were successful, what’s the point of reviewing PI?

NFL owners decided it was more trouble than it was worth. So from 1992 to 1998, there was no replay review at all.

Is Super Bowl History Repeating Itself?

Check out our latest NFL predictions.
