The refs stopping the fourth-down play *as the ball's being handed off*, talking amongst themselves for two minutes without saying what they're talking about, then shrugging and saying "fourth down" makes you really think about what you're doing on Christmas
Third-and-5 into false start, false start, sack against a three-man rush makes you really think about what you're doing on Christmas

And then the Lions run Mesh on fourth-and-2 for a TD.
If you're going to run Mesh with Darnell Washington as one of the crossers somebody is going down, that's just physics, not OPI

Tough INT for Bo Nix on fourth down. Obviously decided he liked the matchup with Bryant, but you'd love to see him get to the checkdown with the RB.

The good thing is the OPI stopped the holding in its tracks
Metcalf was being held! Right before Washington penalized the DB with his oaken frame.

Romo also has Jared Goff as an MVP candidate and called Kenneth Gainwell a wide receiver playing running back (he's a useful player but he's averaging 5.8 yards per reception)
Romo saying Dan Campbell's got the offense back to its 2024 heights since he took over as playcaller
Lions offense in 2025, excluding the game against a horrid Commanders D:
Before the playcaller change: 7th in EPA/play, 5th in pts/drive
After the Commanders game: 6th in EPA/play, 8th in pts/drive

Josh Jacobs has only played two snaps since the fumble with his knee injury. So right now, Packers down their starting QB (Love), RB (Jacobs), WR2 (Doubs), TE1 (Kraft), TE3 (Fitzpatrick), C (Jenkins), and RT (Tom).

The @greggrosenthal.bsky.social rule is that if your coach says something like "We're going to look at the tape" or "Anything's on the table" or anything that isn't directly endorsing his starter on Monday, that QB's going to be benched by Friday
