This paragraph confuses me. The Seahawks and Packers did not split a season series.
Found the wording of the rule I struggled to describe:
So the Seahawks beat the Lions straight up, which is why they’re ranked 7th right now ahead of the Lions. The Packers don’t enter into it, because step 1 quoted above applied division tiebreakers to boot them out of the conversation before the Seahawks even get involved.
I’m feeling very creepy about the outcome of that injury we just saw on MNF. I don’t want to say out loud what I think is going on, but I think a lot of us are thinking it right now. Damn it.
Scary stuff. For those who didn’t see, Hamlin made a big hit on the runner, stood up after the play ended, then two seconds later just collapsed on his back.
It looked like a hard hit right under the chin while Hamlin was making the tackle, but no worse than a lot of hits you see every weekend. He got up, shook his head, and went down backwards, hard.
CPR for an extended period of time? That sounds pretty bad.
True. I don’t really feel like watching it anymore.
I was thinking the way he went down reminded me of Miklós Fehér, Hungarian footballer. One second he was fine and then he just flopped on his back and he was gone. Heart problem.
They are giving the teams 5 minutes to “warm up” and get their heads together after a 20 minute pause. If it wasn’t the most consequential game of the week, they’d probably have postponed it. I think they might anyway.
And now they are suspending the game and heading to the locker room. It sounds like they might continue tonight if the players want to, but I can’t imagine that happening.
