NFL 2023-2024 Season

Apparently (acording to BBC news) the highest score that a team has scored in a match is 72 points. The Dolphins were on 70 points and had the chance to score a field goal in the closing moments, which would have given them the record of 73 points. However they decided to take the knee and run out the game. Strange decision?

Steelers picked off Jimmy Garoppolo three times in Pittsburgh's 23-18 win over Las Vegas.
Different club same problems.

An unfit Joe Burrow managed to grind out a 19-16 win for the Bengals against the Rams.

So Taylor Swift was watching the Chiefs to see how her new man in her life went on against the Bears.
I didn't know who her boyfriend was as I was beginning to judge her thinking that he was probably the abrasive Patrick Mahones. Relieved to find that he was really the Chiefs class tight end Travis Kelce, and she was celebrating big style when he caught a touchdown.

The first of the London games is on ITV this afternoon.

It's the Atlanta Falcons v Jacksonville Jaguars... starts at 1.55pm.

I've just noticed Los Angeles Charges rookie placekicker has gained the nickname of Dicker the Kicker.

I'm not going to mention the Bears match

On a more positive note. Enjoying Ndomakomg Suh as a guest analyst/presenter on Sky Sports NFL this evening

The Bears had a comeback game against the Washington Commanders (the worse name ever) with a 40-20 win. Washington proving again that they are a very bad team.

I used to like Washington.

They were a better team, when they had a better name.

BEARS WIN!!!! BEARS WIN!!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!!

The icing on the cake was getting 80 points for my NFL Fantasy Team from Justin Fields & DJ Moore

Watched the Bears opening TD Drive & went to bed thinking "that's as good as it's going to get" woke up to check the score thinking "how many have we lost by" when I saw the score....

Finally, the Bears break a 14-game losing streak. Should've beaten the Broncos last week, terrible coaching error opting not to tie a game that they had in the bag with a field goal and give the ball back after a failed 4th down attempt.

The Bears need more than Fields and Moore, this is a small step in a very long journey for them. Fields is progressing nicely with his passing game but needs a better balance with his Super-strength being his running ability. More designed runs and option plays to supplement his off-script scrambling.

Sad news before the game, with the passing of Bears legendary Linebacker Dick Butkus aged 80. One source I read ranked him 9th All- time greatest NFL players.

The Chief's could be in trouble tonight.
Their lucky charm Taylor Swift isn't at the match.
