astounding organization

falcons pls fuck this up

I’m not gonna get all whiny if Harrison Smith doesn’t get in the hall, but he’s basically been as good as Matt describes below for nearly 20 years now. He’s certainly one of the best football players I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen some others pass my way

What a goddamn game

I'm a hater, with a hater's soul

hate handing it to Purdy but good goddamn

LMFAO

Gotta be a spite tush push here right

Tom Brady, professional witness to helmet catches

Stefon Diggs has an unreal quarterback development resume

technically,

man this is embarrassing even for the jets

LMAO

LMAO

Texans-Chargers sounds like it's being broadcast by a high school production. Awkward, not fluid play-by-play and muted noises on field and with crowd. Color commentary is limited and has to be prompted. Pop-Tarts Bowl is so lively. The NFL game feels so dead

the Gink was there

Ends up in the fewest net passing yards (3) in a win in Vikings franchise history, and the fewest in the NFL in 40 years

We cheered harder for positive net passing yards than we did for the touchdown

net positive passing yards!

good god

Amazing

barn burner

good god

Ricci sleeper cell activated

Lions of course have a decent net EPA bc they recovered their mistakes but abysmal success rate on offense (32 percent!)

The Vikings pressured Jared Goff on 56.3 percent of dropbacks in the first half. Blitz rate of 68.8 percent (!!)

so far the best halftime show I've seen in ... a long, long time

Best audio mixing of a halftime show shot in a stadium I've seen in ages

That's the first time the #Vikings have allowed a touchdown pass since the Ravens game on Nov. 9.

Penei Sewell is coming back in for the Lions, as they huddle up to go for it on fourth down after a timeout.

So what induces replay assist and what requires a challenge

Van Ginkel hero game

Netflix has such a schizophrenic broadcast, just randomly cutting in a Manningcast interview with Barry Sanders because it sounded cool to someone at HQ but they still try to keep going on with color and PBP inbetween. Dreadful day if they get a bigger stake of NFL games

Man I understand the franchise legends interviews but jesus man I just want to see the replays

Harrison Smith and Van Ginkel popping off, a winter whiteout indeed

Andrew Van Ginkel had the time to jump up to get in a throwing lane, get back down and get the sack. Score one for Van Ginkel and for the coverage unit. Jesus.

back to back false starts followed by a rush-three sack lmao

technically not a drop

Incredible takeaway production recently, albeit at a very odd point in the season

Yes and it's hilarious how shameless it is

you've got to be kidding me lmfaoooooo
