I hope those draft picks for McCaffrey work out.
Bears (Trubisky), and the run game and run defense, win 24-16.

4:25 PM EST
@Brady Bay 6-7 > Bengals 9-4 (-3.5). TV: CBS. GO Bradys, GO Ravens!

Bengals deal Tom Brady the type of loss he almost never has and look very ready for another Super Bowl run

... Prior to Sunday’s game, Tom Brady-led teams were 159-3 overall, and 89-0 at home, when they led by 17 points at any moment in the game. That particular record has a new blemish, and it comes after it looked like the Buccaneers were going to be the story early on....

Crap, 34-23, Ravens bumped to Wildcard #1.

Also, Go:

Steelers TD with 0:50 left. They barely win 13-10, and move into the 4-way bubble, one game behind the LA Traitors and Miami.
I like Miami, the NY Jets and the Steelers.
I don't like the LA Traitors, New England, and Tennessee.

Dammit, Kaaron Bay scores 16 unanswered, 20-26.
Miami stays in Wildcard #3.
Kaaron Bay stays in Wildcard #6, but only on a 3-way tiebreaker with the Seahawks and Lions. It has to win out and get help, unlikely.

The first completion by a 40+ year old in the game was by Cardinals punter Andy Lee on a fake.
Fuckin Brady, scored the last 13, won on an OT FG after driving the field from his own 11. Panthers visit, can still catch Brady Bay with a win next week. Who knows? Panthers kicked ass yesterday.

One of the best defensive players in NFL history is hanging up his cleats after the 2022 season. Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman J.J. Watt revealed Sunday was the last home game of his career in a shocking retirement announcement.

Good for him.

One of the best defensive players in NFL history is hanging up his cleats after the 2022 season. Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman J.J. Watt revealed Sunday was the last home game of his career in a shocking retirement announcement.

Five first-team All-Pro appearances and three Defensive Player of the Year awards.

... From 2012 through 2015, Watt put up a flawless four-year stretch. He registered 119 tackles for loss, 190 quarterback hits, 15 forced fumbles, 10 fumble recoveries, one interception, two defensive touchdowns and 69 sacks....

Watt returned healthy in 2018 and proved he still had a lot in the tank. He played in all 16 games that season, picking up 16 sacks and leading the NFL with seven forced fumbles. After two years away, Watt again made the All-Pro team.

... In his final NFL season, Watt has 9.5 sacks and 21 quarterback hits.

If this is truly it for Watt, he won't have to wait long to make it to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Few players can match Watt's early dominance. For at least four seasons, Watt was the best defensive player in football. Even after injuries hit, he proved he could still turn in excellent production on the field.

Watt also proved he was an MVP away from the field. When Houston was hit by Hurricane Harvey in 2017, Watt put out the call for donations. He raised an astounding $37 million to help the city of Houston. Watt's efforts affected countless lives. He won the Walter Payton Man of the Year award that season.

I think Kealia Watt will resume playing for your Chicago Red Stars of the National Women's Soccer League after giving birth in October. Someone has to put food on the table.
