Catching up on the highlights. Bills got the tying 2 pointer by a few microns. Vikes had at least 2 linemen downfield (~3-4 yards) on the tying TD. Unlike college FB on screens they still have to go no more than 1 yard downfield. ---

After Allen’s 2 point conversion, they cut to commercial and then announced that the call had been reversed when they came back. It was rather strange. ---

> [@EllisDee](#): > > Zach Wilson gets the start for the Jets with Mike White dinged up. That’s appointment television for me in a trainwreck kind of way. Dude is launching bombs. I can’t tell if he even knows how to throw a checkdown. 8 of 14 for 185 yards, 1 TD. That’s over 13 yards per attempt. And it’s mostly air yards. These aren’t dump-off YAC plays, these are deep vertical passes. I fear Mike White’s window is closing rapidly, but I’ll take this Zach Wilson. ---

A lot of really close games today with exciting finishes. 3 overtimes? ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > 3 overtimes? Well, two today. Cowboys/Jaguars and Chiefs/Texans. Vikings and Colts played an OT game yesterday. > [@SenorBeef](#): > > A lot of really close games today Indeed. Every game ended up a one-score game. Largest margin of victory was eight, Steelers over the Panthers 24-16. ---

I don’t think that the Patriots are getting a lot of sympathy from the rest of the NFL fans right now. That might cost them a playoff spot. ---

Right now the Bucs are leading the NFC South with a 6-8 record, while the other three teams are all 5-9. The possibility exists that all four teams could finish 6-11. Bucs lose to Cards, Panthers, and Saints, finish 6-11. Panthers lose to Lions, beat the Bucs, lose to the Saints, finish 6-11. Saints lose to Browns and Eagles, beat the Panthers, finish 6-11. Falcons lose to Ravens and Cards, beat the Bucs, finish 6-11. Should this unlikely scenario happen, Panthers would win the division by virtue of a 4-2 divisional record. They would then host the top wild-card team, which will have at least 10 wins. ---

I assume the third team to beat the Patriots would be the Falcons, not the Saints (my bolding), and yeah, I’d kind of like to see that. ---
