When a pick six goes on behind your back.

When a pick six goes on behind your back.

Cardinals use two pick-6s in first half to down Saints 42-34

Ouch. Andy Dalton had a third, non-pick-6 INT in the game, but he also threw for 4 TDs to end with a decent 89.1 QBRat, a bit lower than Kyler Murray's 100.4. Two pick-6s in a game must be pretty rare. I did a limited search for a three pick-6 game, but couldn't find any. I did find this:
NFL QB Pick Six Active Leaders
Dalton is tied with Brady for #3 at 18, is in solo 2nd if last night's 2 haven't been added to the list yet. Matthew Stafford is #1 (29!), Matt Ryan is #2 (19).

Unrelated: If Brady somehow makes it back to the SB, he will have been in the NFL for exactly half of his life!

[O Really]

Should never have adopted the "Second City" nickname.

City of Lights was already taken.

Well your other attempt wasn't so great either, "Windy City." Sure it might relate to hot air politicians but whether that or real wind doesn't sound very enticing.

Guess we're Second City in our naming abilities also, although City of Big Shoulders has some appeal.

Gotta be painful to see Green Bay called "Titletown."
And too bad "Bean Town" has also been taken.

Fuck this self-esteem football.

Good lord - of the various games today, what possible excuse is there for showing the Kaarons vs. the pretend team formerly known as "'Skins", along with Houston vs. Raiders? Fortunately, it's a travel day for us so we don't have to watch.

[GoCubsGo]

I've got Lions at Dallas, Kaarons at Commies then KC at San Fran.

I've also got 75°, sunny and ribs thawing. Think Louie and I will be taking advantage early on and the grill's getting some action later.

Ribs - Yum! Dry rub St. Louis style, I hope?

Baby backs with dry rub. Use Old Bays and alder smoked salt as a base and whatever tickles by fancy added, then finish with a glazing of Bone Sucking Sauce.

I did not have a favorite in the Falcons @Bengals game.

Bengals' Joe Burrow sets mark with 5th 400-yard game in 3 years

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow collected another record Sunday in his team's 35-17 win against the Atlanta Falcons.

Burrow became the first player in NFL history to have five games of 400 or more passing yards in the first three years of his career, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.

Burrow previously held the record with Dan Marino, a Pro Football Hall of Famer.

... He was 34-of-42 passing for 481 yards and three touchdowns.

... Bengals wide receivers Tyler Boyd and Ja'Marr Chase became the third duo in the last 15 years to each have 100 or more receiving yards in the first half....

The top overall pick of 2020 was effective on the ground, too. He had two carries for 21 yards and a rushing touchdown.

Seattle > @Los Angeles Traitors (-4.5)
37-23. 4-3 Seattle has the sole lead of the NFC West.

2-1, 5-2 overall.

Also, Russell Wilson got benched before the game , Denver lost to the 5-2 Jets ( ) 16-9, anyway. Maybe QB isn't their problem.

Thought they sat him cause of a hammy.

I might have misunderstood some headlines, didn't read the articles

Tua is back and played well.
Pickett played like, well, a Trubisky.
