I got a question about whether the Eagles are built to come back from a deficit because they are so run-centric.
I have no idea because the Eagles have only run offensive plays while down by more than a TD in two games this year: Week 4 (TB) and Week 13 (BAL). They came back to win the second.

Maybe I'm deluded but I think the Steelers can give me a 40th birthday present against the Ravens. Although the final score blew out last time, we could have been ahead at half time had the fumbles landed differently. We weren't as far off as it looked. #HereWeGo

Just heard a caller on Eddie Trunk point point out that a million seconds is 11 days but a billion seconds is 32 years.

Maybe this is an insane suggestion but how about Amorim plays Dalot at right wing back and Amad/Antony at left wing back and try putting some crosses in the box. #mufc

A lot of Bears fans think they would have made the playoffs with Jayden Daniels. If we’ve learned anything from the resurrected careers of Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield, it’s that situations matter. Daniels situation is a big reason he’s blossomed. Caleb’s situation is big reason he has not.

If Callan Rydz is already combing his hair all the way forward from the back of his head at 26, he just needs to accept the inevitable and shave it off. #darts

Short term injuries and two horrible moments by Wilson in this game. I'm not throwing the towel in on the season yet. Losing the division lead makes things a lot harder, but #Steelers can still win a playoff game this year.

Big difference in the game. Steelers forced two fumbles but recovered neither. Ravens forced one, recovered, it stopped points and they finished their drive after. Close game, these things count double. Need an early score & turnover 2nd half. #herewego

Russ has to slide there. He hasn't got it in him to take it all. Huge missed opportunity.

If that injury is as bad as it looked for Dell, then huge credit to him for keeping hold of the ball under that level of pain.

For all of questions surrounding the Chiefs offense this year, Mahomes has a QBR of 89 on third down--2nd in the league. That's been the difference.
Over the last 7 years, he's never fallen outside of the top 3 on third down.

At the same time OFWAT allows Thames to hike customer bills by 35%.
Capital raised from customers who will own nothing, shareholders will get returns.

Thames Water fined £18m over dividends but granted 35% bills hike by 2030
The ruling falls well short of a 59% bills hike requested by the troubled water company, as it tries to secure a bailout from investors.
