Neither team can move until the ball is fielded or touches the ground. I think it was the same too last year. But they changed the touchback rules so that more teams kick the ball in the landing zone which is between the goal line and the 20. If a ball lands before the landing zone it goes to the 40. If it lands in the endzone it comes out to the 40. If it lands before the end zone and bounces in, and the other team concedes a touchback it only comes back to the 20.

If you're Steelers rookie Caleb Johnson you just let the other team recover it for a touchdown.

The fact that Buffalo looked to be going through the motions yet still won this by 10 points seems to indicate that they should have no issue claiming the top seed in the AFC. The other teams in that Division are so far behind them its laughable.

This Wentz-Danny Dimes Super Bowl is gonna be a watershed moment in the history of the sport.

Kicker karma in full effect as the Falcons have already missed two FGs today after cutting Younghoe.

Officiating is just awful so far this year. 3rd time I've seen a DT fall and it result in a holding penalty on the offense

Pun obviously intended, but the Eagles offense is ass cheeks right now.

If you hire terrible OC's you don’t have to worry about someone hiring your OC. It's the galaxy brain coaching hire

I mean this season solely exists to see who gets to lose in the Super Bowl by 7 TDs to the Colts and Daniel Dimes.

I'm here for the Danny Dimes redemption arc. His Giants contract was hilarious, but that wasn't his fault and by all accounts he's a solid kid.

Just like Sanchez and his butt fumble, Jones will forever be followed by his falling on his own while running.
I also like his redemption arc.

Yeah it's fun right now, but it's also week three and the Colts have played two of the five worst teams in the league so far. So we'll see where things are at in week 10.

Steelers stink. Offense is absolutely putrid. Fully expect a losing season, not that it'll change anything. Treading water until Tomlin is gone.

The Browns defence is very legitimate. Have to wonder how long they put up with the offence being this putrid.

I should be happy about a Steelers win but that was a really dismal W.
