Bucs did well with what they had. Hard to beat the Swifties in KC, even with a full healthy team.
They'll get a lot of second-guessing in retrospect over the decision not to go for 2, but I think it was the right choice. If they had tried and failed, everybody would be saying "idiots! you blew it"

Not sure about that. I would have appreciated the risk-taking. A tie is still 50-50 at best, likely less vs unbeaten KC, in KC. I think going for two was both the bold and practical choice.

You beat me by 1 minute. I was going to ask who is the 2-time MVP.

EDIT: Ut-oh.
EDIT: TD 0:38, Joe Burrow Pass To Tanner Hudson For Two-Point Conversion No Good Pass Incomplete - hah! Take that, pussies. 35-34

Lamar Jackson rallies Ravens with career-best fourth quarter

... Jackson produced the best fourth quarter of his career in leading the Ravens to a 35-34 victory. In recording a perfect 158.3 passer rating in the fourth quarter, he threw for 197 yards and three touchdowns -- both personal highs in the fourth quarter -- to record a season sweep of the Bengals and save the NFL's worst pass defense once again.

It didn't matter that the Ravens defense allowed 470 yards and five touchdowns. There was always a belief that Jackson was going to will Baltimore to victory....

Since 2021, Jackson has three wins when trailing by 14 or more points in the fourth quarter. That's the most in the NFL over that span....

It was only last month when Jackson rallied the Ravens from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to deliver a 41-38 overtime win in Cincinnati. This extended Jackson's dominance over the Bengals, improving his record to 10-1 against them.

Jackson also became the only player in NFL history with five touchdown passes and no interceptions in the fourth quarter against an opponent in a single season, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

"I just think he took that game on his shoulders like he does," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.

The Ravens are 7-3 with the NFL's No. 1 offense (440.2 yards per game) and the league's No. 27 defense (367.9).

"Defense wins championships."

... Baltimore plays at the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2) on Nov. 17 in a battle for first place in the AFC North. If the Ravens get behind in that game, they know they can come back because of one reason.

"We've got Lamar Jackson," Bateman said. "I [am not] going to lie to you -- if [he's] on the field we got a chance to win the game, period."

Yeah, those teams are bad, but probably OK for the European audience that doesn't get much American football at all. I'm sure I couldn't tell the difference if you sent me 9-1-1 Liverpool or 1-1-9 Southampton. A "good soccer game" reminds me of the joke "does buttermilk spoil?" "How would you know?"

As expected, they stumbled into OT where the Giants fumbled on their first play and the Panthers won by a 36 yard field goal after a 5 yard "drive". Perfect.

I hope Swifties runner Kareem Hunt doesn't ever go to work at a place where they follow email practice of first initial-last name. Could be awkward.

A month or so ago I read about a woman with that exact predicament her entire career. I think she is English and the resultant obscenity may have even been the same word. She's had to do battle with intransigent HRs.

Broncos are leading 14-10 just before halftime. I can dream about KHunt's team losing.

The Bears suck.

Their offensive line should be declared a disaster area.

Denver's O line slept through the final kick.

They looked like they forgot the game was on the line.

Swifties didn't.
