Bengals stopped pretending to do under center stuff on Sunday against the Ravens and immediately looked like Super Bowl contenders. Just stop the under center nonsense.

We don't have enough NFL Quality Linemen to go under Center for most teams.

The whole “under center” thing In the NFL has been a total bust. Most teams that talked a big game about going under center immediately abandoned it and those that stuck with it have done so to their detriment.

The Commanders spent the whole offseason talking about getting under center more, but through six games they've not been able to get much production from those looks. I broke down their struggles: markbullock.substack.com/p/commanders...

No football player resonates more with the youth than Colt McCoy

Kirk Cousins has faced the 10th-most pressures (92) of any QB (MNF pending), but his 10.2 percent pressure-to-sack rate is fifth-best among QBs (min. 200 dropbacks). When the switch to Fernando Mendoza happens, the bad sack-avoidance traits he displayed in college could make life rough.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

EPA per pass attempt on throws of at least 20 yards downfield. In case you're wondering (I know you are): The worst downfield passers this season are Justin Herbert, Matthew Stafford, and Cam Ward.

Bengals on Sunday said enough of this running shit. They went *16%* over their expected pass rate against the Ravens and passed on 65% of their early downs. They should simply keep doing that.

Butker has missed seven field goals over his past 11 games. Hate to see it.

Harrison Butker (Kansas City) ranks dead last in field goal pts over expected at -7.69, behind Trey Smack -7.28 (Green Bay) & Harrison Mevis -6.87 (Free Agent) Leaders: Will Reichard +9.47 (Minnesota), Chase McLaughlin +8.78 (Tampa Bay) & Ka'imi Fairbairn +8.56 (Houston)

kinda fucked up that the reaction to every major election is now something like "my opponent had fewer votes than i did but then he didn't, what happened"

This is really something since Mike Tomlin was one of the most reliably conservative fourth down decision makers in modern NFL history. Here's fourth down data from 2020-2025:

Mike Tomlin supports Dan Campbell's late fourth-down decision, pointing to the fact that both the Lions and Packers have elite quarterback play.

Meta has to be destroyed. It just has to.

Rafa Sales Ross@rafiews.com

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Serious question: How are you supposed to adjust to stop JSN?

Mina Kimes@minakimes.bsky.social

Chiefs have played a lot of man coverage this year, but I wasn’t sure how much Spags would call vs JSN. So far all 3 of his completions have been vs man. Might need to adjust.

Our analytics king forgot the second part of the Go For It formula: Calling a play that can actually work.

Christian D'Andrea@trainisland.bsky.social

Dan Campbell gets a fraction too cute on 4th down, Keisean Nixon gives the Packers the ball in field goal range (looks at Trey Smack)... well, kinda, with a fourth down stop late in a tie game
