Michael was one of a handful of friends who sent me a text this morning sharing a similar thought: “That was the best football game I’ve ever watched.”
Although it wasn’t only about the 105 points scored, that obviously played a major role in why folks were buzzing about last night’s Rams-Chiefs slugfest. There were 144 plays and 1,001 total yards, which comes out to a whopping 6.95 yards per play. The game also included 10 red zone possessions (7 of which resulted in touchdowns) and there were three non-offensive touchdowns scored as well as three field goals. Basically, there was something for everyone.
Great passing vs. little resistance, like the Big 12.
Lots of weird, like the Pac-12.
Great punts, like the Big Ten.
Players actually getting paid, like the SEC (haha)
Rams-Chiefs showed now more than ever, football's just football https://t.co/PsM8a8n2PX

15 wideouts drafted before Bears safety Eddie Jackson was selected. He’s scored more TDs than 7 of them and he tied with 3 others. @nfldraftscout @MattBowen41 #RollTide

'Tis the season for giving, so Pat O'Donnell and Cody Parkey did just that by handing out turkeys to families in need at the YWCA in Gurnee on Monday. https://t.co/cxcmRX1sLr pic.twitter.com/8PApolUNhL
