NFL - NEWS & NOTES

I'm more on the edge of, if Chubb runs angry, it might be a fun game. They need to establish that early AND the defense has to come out swinging from the first snap.

 

If Chubb runs angry, that should open the passing game for Winston if needed. Thats whats cool about having RB's with talent, the play action fake works well.

Good luck tonight.

 

Browns dominated for the most part. Congrats. This game scared the crap out of me, coming off the Ravens game on a short week. Browns owned the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball

 

My survivor league finally ends this week. We started with over 100 people. We lost over half the entrants week 1 and it was just 3 of us after week 3. It's been down to 2 of us since week 4. It's Week 12 and the guy I'm heads up with picked the Steelers and is out. I picked the Vikings. I'm changing it to the Chiefs who were being saved for next week. O-44.5 MNF is my tiebreaker. He picked 44 and I essentially had to take over or under on it. Over was juicy, although 2 weeks ago I took the under his under number as I knew it'd be low scoring.

I'm keeping Vikings for my ESPN entry. I won't win the 25k though even if I go the full season because of picks like GB last week hurting my point differential tiebreaker.

 

Thursday Night Football: Browns overcome the snow, Steelers to win 24-19

Nick Chubb scored on a 2-yard run with 57 seconds left to deliver the win for Cleveland.

Winston lost a fumble and threw an interception but went 18-of-27 for 219 yards and ran three times for 7 yards and a touchdown. Chubb ran for 59 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries, and Jeudy caught six passes for 85 yards.

Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett dominated the first half with three sacks and had five tackles, three quarterback hits and a forced fumble. His Steelers’ counterpart, edge rusher T.J. Watt, made four tackles, including one for loss.

The Steelers outgained the Browns 368 to 304.

Wilson was 21-of-28 for 270 yards and a touchdown, and Justin Fields threw an incompletion and ran for 26 yards on three carries. Warren had 11 carries for 45 yards and a touchdown. Austin caught three passes for 78 yards and a touchdown, and George Pickens added four catches for 48 yards.

 

And this is why I say Fuck The Dome.

 

The picture that Willie has in his post above is what it's all about. Nice win in an otherwise not so nice season.

 

Growing up A Vikings fan, I always loved the old Metropolitan Stadium and the near blizzard conditions. Hell, thats how we played the game as kids, snow was just plane ol fun.

 

A lot of things were said and there was some wrestling going on after the TNF game between Pickens and Newsome, so the media is talking about it. I say so what... Its a great rivalry that has a storied history, this is supposed to happen.

 

Browns almost paid for doing it during the game. 15-yards for ripping the mouth guard off an opponent right after a huge stop. Instead...automatic 1st down and then TD.
