The Chiefs prevailed again in a nail-biter, prevailing in OT. They were up at the half, then down by a TD in the fourth quarter, only to storm back to score two TDs and take the lead. With under a minute to go, Baker Mayfield led his depleted offense down the field for a game-tying TD. In OT, Kansas City got the ball first…. The game is over. Mahomes, Kelce, Hopkins, Hunt, and company stormed down the field and scored the game-winning TD, not allowing the Buccaneers the opportunity to see the ball again.
Can the Chiefs Go Undefeated?
It’s starting to feel like an undefeated season. I know it’s a sacrilege to mention a pitcher throwing a no-hitter in baseball, and maybe the same holds true in football with undefeated teams…but I’m not sure superstitions will derail this team. They still have road games in Buffalo and Pittsburgh, and either could trip them up…but this team is on a roll and looks to be a team of destiny. As long as the game is close, Patrick Mahomes can come through in the clutch.
The Cowboys Made A Bad Trade
The Cowboys have traded for Panthers WR Jonathan Mingo for a fourth-round pick. In nine games this year, Mingo has only 12 catches for 121 yards, so this trade makes zero sense for the Cowboys. Even with CeeDee Lamb being their only main target at the position, with Dak Prescott out and both the Commanders and Eagles playing good football, the Cowboys season is done. Trading away a future asset for a player who hasn’t proven anything in the NFL is a big mistake.
The Steelers Get Russ Another Weapon
The Steelers traded for Jets WR Mike Williams. This was a foregone conclusion after the Jets snagged Davante Adams a couple of weeks ago. At this point in his career, it is obvious that Aaron Rodgers needs his security blankets, and Adams has always been his biggest. There just aren’t enough throws in Rodgers right arm for everyone. The Steelers gave up a fifth-round pick for the veteran. Interestingly, he, like Mingo, only has 12 catches this season. Russell Wilson gets himself another WR weapon.
Top NFL Nicknames
“Mean” Joe Greene, “Broadway” Joe Namath, Deion “Primetime” Sanders, Ed “Too Tall” Jones, William “The Refrigerator” Perry, “Slinging” Sammy Baugh are some of my favorites. There are a bunch of others, too, but I wanted to keep the nicknames of people who had them as an unofficial part of their names. For instance, Walter Payton will always be Sweetness…but it wasn’t used in his name…he was just “Sweetness,” which, in a way, may even be more impressive. When someone would say Sweetness, there was no doubt they were talking about Payton. To this day, he is a“Sweetness”.
