Happy Friday. Still not a ton of Sports Illustrated people on this app, but I did make a starter pack with some writers and editors who are here. I'll add to it as people arrive ➡️ go.bsky.app/VcPrciv
Won’t get talked about enough: A.J. Brown throwing multiple blocks downfield out ahead of Barkley on the screen.

I feel like this would have been a massive story if it had happened in any time slot other than early morning in Europe on NFLN? Instead it kinda slipped under the radar?

It’s a little early to call it in the first half, but Bears-Giants feels like a tie.

Bowser’s Castle would obviously be a sick name and aesthetic
They should name it after Muriel Bowser in that case

I’ve been thinking about this all season, wondering if teams will start specializing their specialists even more now that you need a guy who can make a 60-yard FG and a guy who can execute a perfect kickoff, and it may be hard to find someone who can do both.
Here's the thing... my FG values currently have the Rams dead last (-11.2 pts) but my net kickoff values have them third (+7.1 pts).
Do they lose on Karty's knuckleball kickoffs what they might gain back in better field goals?

You’re welcome to have whatever pet NFL rule complaint you want, but not making the uprights taller will always be the most maddening, indefensible thing in the world. Just make them taller!

Good question. Darnold was in on the drive before Daniels got hurt, but it started with 14:54 left and they went: handoff, handoff, handoff, punt

Obviously the focus is on Daniels and I hope he's ok, but also worth saying there's absolutely no reason to have your franchise QB in the game down 38-7 with 7 minutes left.

If I had given you 50 guesses for the most recent player and team to have 4 TDs and 0 incompletions in a half, would you have come up with Ryan Tannehill on the Dolphins?
