“A GREAT FOOTBALL WEEKEND”
=======
Did you get your money’s worth of football this weekend?
Did college football’s final Saturday wind up like you thought?
How cool were some of the games in the NFL?
Exciting for sure, with the knowledge that the college playoffs are coming.
And the NFL still has 4-more weekends to go and playoff slots on the line.
Wow.
———
CHARGERS-CHIEFS…The Bolts did everything they had to do to win..but did not win…It was not ‘Chargering’ as we have known it..but it was gut wrenching…They hit-chased-flushed-sacked-pressured Patrick Mahomes all night…Justin Herbert was under siege the entire first half and took big hits…The Bolts came back with a jumbo package running the ball-to wipe out a 13-0 deficit and take a 14-13 lead…But Mahomes being Mahomes, hit enough big plays, his backs controlled the fourth quarter on the ground..and Matthew Wright’s last of 4-field goals-hit the upright and bounced in for the game winning kick with (:01) left…KC has won 19-of the last 22-games with the Chargers..Herbert is (2-7) vs Chiefs red…Mahomes is (10-2) vs the Bolts…The Chiefs are not what they used to be..and even with that, the Chargers cannot beat them…A rugged night..a Chiefs win.
RAMS-BILLS…Isn’t Sean McVay a spectacular leader? Isn’t Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua willing the Rams to wins? Isn’t Josh Allen a spectacular individual. The Rams pull off a wild win over Buffalo. Big play after big play. Amazing defensive plays. Joah Allen’s 6-TD outing, almost a one man gang on offense. And (902Y) in offense between both sides.
GREEN BAY-DETROIT…The Lions going for it 5-times on 4th down in that Thursday night game. The defense was fierce. Jared Goff was dominant. A bombastic AFC-North game.
STEELERS-BROWNS..Who could think the way the season started that Mike Tomlin would have his team (10-3). Russell Wilson very much a comeback player of the year. The Browns have lost 21-in a row in Pittsburgh.
MIAMI-JETS….Aaron Rodgers throws for a ton (339Y) but it’s not enough and his team is (3-10). Tua Tagovailoa has his team (6-7) and hitting big plays. The Jets have lost 9-straight in Miami.
RAIDERS-TAMPA..Hopeless, all these injuries and now a 9-game losing streak and losing another QB-Aiden O’Connell..
MINNESOTA-ATLANTA…Sam Darnold, a career best (347Y-5TD). Staggering, the four game Falcons losing streak, and the fact Kirk Cousins, in that streak, has 0TDs-8 Interceptions.

And then there was the college football weekend.
TEXAS-GEORGIA…A Hollywood script, with injured QB-Carson Beck coming off the bench for the final snap in overtime for a game winning TD run, giving the Dogs the win over turnover prone Texas-which had an unusual bad day.
OREGON-PENN STATE…What a show by QB-Dillon Gabriel and that vibrant-explosive Ducks offense. What a comeback effort from the Nittany Lions and Drew Allar and a Penn State offense that had (292Y) rushing in a loss
CLEMSON-SMU..Quite a Mustangs comeback, but quite a passing day by young QB-Cade Klubnik, whom most people wanted benched at the start of the season.
ASU-IOWA STATE..How about those Sun Devils, winning the league the first time they walked down the Big 12-Conference highway. A great offense, throwing and running, and a message the Sun Devils are very much a national power.
BOISE STATE-UNLV…They are one field goal (against Oregon) from being unbeaten. It is RB-Ashton Jenty, it is also a big play pass attack, and a rugged in your face defense. This is a real deal (12-1) team.
If you were like me, you watched football, all day and night on Saturday, then did it again on Sunday in the NFL. More to come in the next couple of weeks.
