I know it’s when one of the officials sees the 0 and looks up, so maybe half a second or a second, but that play seemed at least that.

3 Minnesota drives, 0 Minnesota points. Have to have a good series though to get out from the goal line.

The illegal procedure on 1st down wrecked everything.

Zadarius halfway to his bonus!

In the end zone last I saw him.

Defense holds!

This Minnesota drive from their own 13 should tell us a lot.

Oh man, this jacks up the pressure even more, IMO. Lions would win a road game over Tampa, am not sure about beating the Rams in LA. So cannot be the 5th seed!

If the Rams lose to Seattle, they will drop down to the #4 seed and the Bucs would move up to the #3 seed. I’d like the Rams to beat Seattle because if the Lions lose tonight I’d prefer they play Tampa next week instead of LA.

6th seed. NFC North runner up gets 5th. The slo-mo at the 13s mark is super

True. But if Bates had missed the 44 FG in the final minute at Minnesota, the Vikings would be 15-1 with the division and #1 seed sewn up and the Lions would be locked into the #5 seed at 13-3

I wish one or two of those tough non-divisional matchups were at home instead of on the road.

The Larkin empty netter.

He controlled that final 2 minute push by the Jets. Calm and sure-handed.

Aggressive hockey is back in town.

Uh-oh. 3:14 of tension coming up. This would be such a huge win

Winnipeg goes on a real powerplay after playing like they have been on a powerplay. But 3-1 Wings with 8:17 to go

Wings lead after 2. Maybe the Wings were trying to get Lalonde fired.

Raymond! 2-0 Wings.

And in McLellan's first 3 games the Wings outshot the Leafs 25-23, were even with Washington in shots at 27, and even with Pittsburgh at 25. Now 17-7 Wings after 1. What a turnaround. Small sample size caveat of course, but still ...

Ravens lose Pro Bowl wide receiver Zay Flowers to a knee injury today. Hard to argue with him being in the game though, even against the lowly Browns, as the Ravens hadn't yet clinched the division and he went down in the 2nd quarter.

Your morning smile. I have watched this several times. I wonder how many, if any, flags were thrown on the plays in this clip?

https://champsorchumps.us/records/best-nfl-regular-season-records#tab-most-wins The winner of Sunday's Lions-Vikings game will become the 9th team to win at least 15 games in an NFL regular season. Of course 7 of the other 8 had to do it with just 16 games. 14 win seasons are less rare but still special. I count 20 current franchises (and the extinct Frankford Yellow Jackets who are linked to but separate from the Philadelphia Eagles) with at least one 14-win season, which would mean 12 current NFL franchises have never had a team win 14 or more games in a regular season. The 14+ winners, which has been done 36 times, are New England (5x), San Francisco (4), Kansas City (3), Chicago (2), Minnesota (2), Pittsburgh (2), Miami (2), Indianapolis (2), Washington (2) and the following with one each: Carolina, Green Bay, Frankford, Atlanta, Baltimore, Denver, Detroit, Jacksonville, New York Giants, San Diego Chargers, St. Louis Rams and Philadelphia. I spot a couple of times where a 14-2 team was not the conference's #1 seed (Atlanta 1998, New England 2004) but both at least won their division and both ended up getting to the Super Bowl.
