Fair catch kick can be done anytime in the game you receive a kick or punt and fair catch it. No one ever does it except when time is going to expire because why wouldn't you rather just... get the ball on offense.

Anyway, probably a different game if they don't call this... fake sport!

Missed the game but highlights and opinions on it sounds like a combination of classic VJ defence combined with Sean Payton calling cute plays and abandoning the run to cost them the game.

Not the end of the world. This is a rebuild year with a massive dead cap anchor so all of this is house money. They still need an NFL calibre RB, a 1/2 WR, a real TE, and some friggin depth especially on defence. Denver looks to be in a pretty good place

It's stupid but pretty much any time you attempt to hit a QB that has started his slide it gets called nowadays.

It's unfair to the defenders but that's the way it's called now.

Yeah I get that, and I don't mind it. But this was pretty weak, with a McDavid like embellishment at the end. And was the difference. But to say it accurately, the late hit was the difference, not the call. Because you know they are flagging any contact.

another Steelers WR career bites the dust once he leaves Pittsburgh. George Pickens will probably be next in a year or two.

Kirk Cousins' divorce from the Falcons is expected to be finalized before his $10 million roster bonus is due March 17, with executives across the NFL fully expecting Atlanta to release him by then.

The split between Cousins and the Falcons is inevitable at this point, according to multiple sources.

Front office executives observing the situation have pointed out that, due to the no-trade clause in Cousins' contract, he now has all the leverage. And nobody believes he will do any favors for a Falcons team that surprised him on draft night by selecting another quarterback, Michael Penix Jr., in the first round, then benched him this week in favor of the rookie.

Chiefs look pretty bad. Stroud made a horrible throw on that first pick. But zero pressure against an offensive line that the rest of the league has teed off on.

This is shaping up to be a good game. The next one could be a doozy too.

Just gave up a ticket to the Flames game to watch them and a plethora of other sports on TV.....even if the college game is a blowout this morning, the other 2 should be pretty good. Add in the Flames game and a bunch of hockey tonight...safe to say this will be one unproductive day.

Might be time for the Texans to retire that WR screen play.
