I was listening to the Seahawks game on the radio. I heard the last play as a safety which should be two points and the game continues but the officials called the game over. What happened? ---

Go Bengals! Way to overcome the adversity of being sacked seven times (!!!) and playing a road game in New York on an emotional day. There was even a Margus Hunt sighting doing something beneficial! And AJ Green is a monster. ---

Wow Terrance Williams is going to beat himself up over that last play for a while. Why turn it inside? He should’ve easily made the sideline. Another good ending (this time the way I wanted). 😃 ---

Did any Seahawks kneel during the Anthem? I was thinking Cowboys didn’t need Romo, but that last play … a veteran QB would have reminded his receivers what they needed to do. ---

…and another nailbiter when they switched over to the Indy-Detroit game. Good day for network games. ---

With Brady and Gronk out, any chance Patriots can beat the Cardinals? ---

There’s always a chance, but I wouldn’t say it’s a very good one. It’s going to be on the Pats’ D tonight. ---

If New England loses then their entire division will start out 0-1. Has that ever happened before? ---

> [@Saint\_Cad](#): > > I was listening to the Seahawks game on the radio. I heard the last play as a safety which should be two points and the game continues but the officials called the game over. What happened? Tannehill was standing on the half-yard line, Avril came up, gave him a hug, and laid him down a half-yard over the big G. It may be that it was not recorded as a safety because it started outside the endzone and Avril was the only impetus for it going over the line. Or maybe the zebras said, _fuck it, 2 points will not affect the outcome or any bets on the line, we just wanna get outta this noisy place_. ---

Blount is a beast. He just pretty much carried half the AZ defense into the end zone on a 7-yard run up the middle. ---

…and then gives the ball away on the next drive. Knowing BB, that’s his last carry of the game. ---

Cowboys finally have a solid backup QB in Dak Prescott 1. Very mobile 2. Accurate 3. Not Turnover Prone What more can a fan ask for when evaluating a rookie QB? ---

Found out something cool if you watch games in a sports bar. [tunity](http://www.tunity.com/) is an app that will let you take a picture of a screen, figure out which channel it’s on, and then stream the audio feed from that game.
