Rich Eisen on the Monday after is becoming a tradition, an enjoyable one.

Lachey is a pro. I heard he was planning to miss the game so he could attend his son's Seniors Day game at Iowa the day before, but Ryan Day chartered a plane to get to Columbus on time. That final sequence was so lame. 1st down at the 25 with 45 seconds and you don't throw downfield once, keep repeating a play that isn't working: 1st down - incomplete pass out of bounds at the right sideline to the 27; 2nd down - complete pass to the right sideline for a gain of 1 yard to the 26; 3rd down - incomplete pass sails way out of bounds around the 40 at the right sideline; 4th - incomplete short pass to around the 28, only receiver anywhere close, standing around the 26, would have been quickly tackled if the pass had hit him.

This is the worst I've felt about the Lions' chances at the #1 seed for awhile. Eagles play 4 of their final 5 games at home, with two of them (vs. Panthers, vs Giants) virtual gimmes. Will be heavily favoured hosting Dallas too. I guess at Pittsburgh and to a lesser extent at Washington poses some risk to them. But the Eagles definitely have a shot at winning out. It's a lot to ask the Lions to win out. If the Lions go 4-1 as long as that loss is to Buffalo, the Lions no matter what would finish ahead of Philadelphia. The Lions will clinch the division if they go 3-2 as long as two of those wins are over GB and Minnesota. At this point, with 5 games to go, I'd say the most likely spot they'll finish is #2, but #1, #5 and #6 are all possible.

Philly up 9. Thanks for nothing Miami-Arizona-Baltimore.

6-6 teams like Arizona tend to find ways to beat themselves. The way they were moving the ball, 3 runs from 1st and goal at the 6 should have made it a 2-score game. Or 4 runs from 1st and goal at the 11. They panicked over a 5 yard penalty.

Damn Vikings!

Vikings at the 5. It’s probably going to come down to Kyler Murray having to lead a FG drive.

That was Arizona defense’s chance there. Minnesota converts a 4th and 7 and now are at the Cards’ 21 at the 2 minute warning.

Arizona ran a nice 8 minute drive but a false start at 1st and goal from the 6 changed everything. They ended up settling for a FG and are only up 6 with 3:20 to go. Sets up perfectly for the dastardly Vikings to steal an undeserved win with a final drive.

Husso should have had that. Canucks win 10th straight road game

Husso stops Pius on breakaway. Phew.

Wings survive to OT. Except maybe Rasmussen, who is down after blocking a shot with 4 seconds to go in regulation

And now DeBrincat shoots puck over boards for late delay of game penalty!

After 5 minutes of the puck barely leaving the Wings’ zone, Vancouver ties it with just 3:20 to go.

Just showed a graphic that 5 of Arizona’s 6 drives have got inside the Minnesota 30, but only 4 FGs and 0 TDs to show for it. This game shouldn’t be close, but still is at 12-6.

He has not provided the same spark as last season, that’s for sure.

One of the better Wings stretches all season. 4-3 Detroit, 11 minutes to go.

Arizona leads Minnesota 3 FGs to 2 FGs at the half, or 9-6.

Decent first period against Vancouver, but any type of penalty trouble is deadly for the Wings. Give up two PP goals early in the 2nd, then Pius Suter strikes against his old team to give the Canucks a 3-2 lead after 2.

Some scheduling relief this month, but no game should be considered easy for this season’s Wings.

Arizona is gifted the ball at Minnesota's 18, but penalties and negative yardage plays result in a 48 FG attempt that is missed.

Go Cardinals! 1pm at Minnesota Go Ravens! 4:25pm hosting Philly Would be really nice to gain another game cushion for the division lead and/or #1 seed heading into the tough back to back vs GB and Buffalo. If the Lions maintain an outright lead over Minnesota and Philadelphia heading into the final 3 games of the season I like their chances. Sunday Night Football looks like a fun snow game in Buffalo. The Niners aren’t the Niners of 2022 or 2023 but let’s get them closer to killed off anyways.

Agreed. I saw Jiriicek speculation and was intrigued but didn’t expect the price to be that much.
