It ended up not mattering, but that’s inexcusable to kick off into the end zone when EVERYONE has been talking about the Cowboys-Ravens ending for 4 days.

Welp. Flawed team, roller-coaster season. History will forget how fun May, June and August were. They underachieved, but to say the Phillies provided zero joy the past 4 years is an exaggeration. But now it’s well past time to blow up the lineup. Have to find a way to do it.

Housekeeping note: I am pleased (and relieved) to say I won my annual 1-on-1, 65-category, zero-lineup-change fantasy baseball league, snapping an unfathomable six-year losing streak. We did it.

Down two TDs, they should go for a fourth-and-1 at midfield. You can use a play besides the tush push if you want.

Cool story from Eva Geitheim on Norm Van Brocklin’s single-game passing record, which was set 75 years ago today and somehow still stands www.si.com/nfl/rams/his...

The History Behind a 75-Year-Old NFL Passing Record That Still Stands
Norm Van Brocklin’s single-game record of 554 passing yards was even more unlikely than most people realize.

They gave Jameis a two-year extension earlier this month and then let him start exactly one game before trading for J.J. McCarthy.

Raiders being 3-0 means they can really wait until they’re ready to play Mendoza. Very different season than being pressured and getting questions about it every week.

Somehow “The Colts’ kicker is injured early in the game, so there’s an octopus watch in Indy” seems to happen every year.

Moving first pitch of the Phillies game up 35 minutes sets up the frightening possibility of today being Zack Wheeler’s Tom Glavine moment.

Too many people got hooked on parlays, and now future generations won’t have the patience to sweat out scheduled doubleheaders wreaking havoc on the championship week of a 6-month fantasy baseball season. Big loss for society.

Good stuff from @albert-breer.bsky.social talking to Kyle Juszczyk about the details of how the 49ers fought jet lag on the Australia trip: www.si.com/nfl/inside-4...

For San Francisco’s longest-tenured player, all it took was some melatonin, ‘a lot of caffeine’ and time for his body to wake up Down Under.

Josh Allen now has 82 career rushing TDs, T-19th all time and exactly half way to Emmitt Smith’s record 164. Allen is 30 and just started his 9th season. It is not impossible for him to break this record. via @pro-football-reference.com

Feels like tonight’s Bills-Lions game pretty clearly should have been SNF in Week 1. One of these days they’re just gonna put me in charge of this stuff.

The league went under center collectively at the highest rate since 2017 in Week 1. I talked to coaches about why it happened, how the chess match evolves from here and what will inevitably happen next www.si.com/nfl/nfl-late...

The NFL’s Latest Offensive Trend Was Hiding in Plain Sight As It Swept the League in Week 1
A simple formation that was routine before the 2010s is back en vogue. And with quarterbacks back under center, we saw record point totals.

Commanders and Cowboys both got called today for taunting/celebration penalties on TDs where a lot of coaches would go for 2. (And Cowboys miss the XP.)
