Josh Allen 3 TD passes and 3 rushing TDs in Bills' LOSS at Los Angeles Rams.

The last time a quarterback had 3 TDs passing and 3 TDs rushing?

Otto Graham. Cleveland won the 1954 title, destroying Detroit 56-10 in the title game with Graham running for three touchdowns and passing for another three. Graham considered retiring, but Brown convinced him to return, making him the highest-paid player in the NFL at $25,000.
 :$$$:
Otto Graham was the Washington Redskins coach in the three years before Vince Lombardi came out of retirement to coach them. Graham had three losing seasons with Sonny Jurgensen at quarterback.

highest score ever for a QB in standard fantasy scoring (tops Michael Vick in 2010).

Chiefs clinch their ninth straight AFC West title  - just...  :roll:  Mahomes clearly wants to be Mr Excitement, for this season.  ;)

Honorable mention to Da Bears for 'The Whole Four Yards'... ;)
If it wasn't for good luck, KC would have no luck at all.

NFL could not flex Bengals and Cowboys out of Monday night because too much has been spent in advance to make it a Simpsons game. Oi.

Turned it on for a minute. Quite dumb.

Now a family guy game would be interesting

Strangely enough, Mahomes seems to make his own luck... ;)

Is it just me (probably) but was Kevin Burkhart doing his best Al MIchaels impersonation, when calling the Rams game?... :D

During the Chiefs run of AFC West titles, only three players have been there thruout - Travis Kelce, Chris Jones and James WInchester (before you ask, he's the long-snapper).

Ugh. Hope they got it early. BIL died of bile duct cancer this August. It went very quickly from dx to death - a matter of weeks. It’s a nasty one.

Didn't see the game but the Eagles put a beat down on the Steelers.  Also, tied for number one in the NFC. Not sure who has the tiebreaker between them and the Lions.

Drake Maye threw up a nice day in terms of completion percentage and a few other stats, but it was mostly in garbage time.

The Bills Lions game was a track meet.

Lions have it at the moment...they're 4-0 in the Division...Iggles are 3-0.  Their records with common opponents are similar with the Lions beating the Packers twice as opposed to once, they both lost to the Buccaneers, and the Lions are  8-1 in conference vs 7-2.  It get's more complicated after that...too much for my feeble mind...

Thanks.  Looking some more and the Vikings can tie the Lions if they win tomorrow.  They end the season playing each other.

Lions have the easier schedule of the two to get to week 18 after tomorrow night...Iggles seem to have the easiest and all in the Division...

Thank you so much, Nike.... :D

Always enjoy listening to Kevin Harlan, in the booth, as he always sounds as though he's being strangled by his tie... :lol:

The unconvincing Chiefs dominate the Browns, and move to 13 - 1. Can't recall Mahomes having such a long streak of incompletions, in one game. Sensible move to bring on Wentz - no need to risk Mahomes. We start to consider whether or not that ankle is now a permanent weak-spot, for Mahomes?... ;)

High ankle sprain for Mahomes.  Probably best to rest him rest of the regular season. 

Detroit keeps losing players.

LA Chargers kicked a fair catch kick through the uprights for 3 points last night. First time this has happened since the 1970's. I stupidly spent last night with my family instead of watching the NFL on Amazon Prime and missed it - might not happen again in my life!

I watched most of the game, it was quite entertaining and featured a spectacular catch in the endzone by a Chargers receiver. The free kick was definitely unusual.

Helped by players returning from injury, the Chiefs are starting to show glimpses of their expected selves. Looks like Coach Reid has done his stuff again, and has the Chiefs coming on-song at the right end of the season... ;)

The season is rounding into form. Lamar has a string of nationally televised games to catch up in the mvp race before playoff Lamar returns and the chiefs are gearing up for yet another run

remember that a one-legged Patrick Mahomes is still the 3rd best QB in the NFL (behind Allen and a two-legged Mahomes)
