This might be the worst possible close game between 6-1 NFL teams. Thanks, Vikings.

4th & 1 empty set with a QB who struggles to throw in the pocket.

Trying not to be old man who yells at cloud here, but the thought of a Husker football game on a Friday night in November — literally during high school playoff games — would’ve made absolutely zero sense 25 years ago.

I would watch an entire hour of Chuck answering the door on Halloween night. How has this not happened yet?

He’s the most talented person I know and this is only a glimpse of it. The degree of difficulty — no script, one take, on a tight writing deadline, lots going on around him — is extreme. And the performance is 10/10.

In Denver, that was about the most consequential Week 8 play you can imagine. Wow.

Ohio State getting smoked by USC. Miami messing around (again). Indiana coulda/shoulda lost. Is ANYBODY any good?

Nebraska is much better than Washington. This game should not be close. Gotta separate in the 3rd and create some margin for error in the 4th.

I thought UCF-BYU was my favorite Big 12 rivalry, then here comes Cincinnati-Utah. I bet they completely ran out of “House Divided” rocks on that one.
