This dude got throttled by ISU?

Texas Tech didn't want to play that day.

A bad defense is when you can't get a stop when you need it regardless of score and KC might show their true colors here.

I kind of like this thing of checking into the MNF game in the last minute if it's close.

Listening to these announcers yell and exaggerate everything for 3 hours is stressful.

Chiefs made the right move drafting Mahomes but that defense needs a lot of work. Denver showed no fear going for it on 4th and short or throwing deep on them all night. As a Chiefs fan just hope they can stay healthy on offense and keep putting up points because I think my out of shape 39 year old out of shape body could gain 5 yards on that porous defense.

Berry will help, but I don’t think he will be back until after the bye week late in the season if at all.

Earl Thomas getting hurt sucked as Chiefs were going to get him I believe.

MP22 was a cancer to the team, but man he was good for KC.

Unless my team is playing I don't watch. BRUTAL!

Repeating but their whole schtick is really hard to stomach.

Lots of yelling pre-game show, lots of yelling just before kickoff, the commentating booth has some bad audio and more yelling, and then they have some **** band with weird production for the halftime show.

I don't know what their ratings are like but they don't seem to know that their production feels like an XFL game but cheaper.

Congrats KC fans. I'll never understand Denver not going zone when it was 2nd and 20.

Actually that was 2nd and 30. The refs really liked throwing flags on them last night.

Mahomes really needs to work on his left hand throws, I mean that wobbled badly.

Being compared to Bart Faver is the kiss of death.
Being compared to a Super Bowl winning QB is bad? If Mahomes wins KC a Super Bowl he will be a LEGEND in KC for the rest of his life even if he fails miserably after.

Switching gears away from the Chiefs for a second, I'm curious what's going to happen with Leveon Bell after he reports. After all of the bad blood, can the Steelers really let him back on the field? I'm guessing they will trade him before he gets a chance to play. Get something out of him while they can.
The whole situation is unfortunate. Running backs have such a low value considering how often they touch the ball.
I can see both sides of this one.

Yeah, I don't know that either side is totally right, although my instinct is usually to side with the player in any kind of contract standoff.

Do the Steelers really have much incentive to deal him now that they know he's going to report? Connor has been fine filling in, but Bell makes that offense special. If they can get eight games out of him and make a postseason run then maybe it's worth it to just hang on to him at this point.
