Rams, at home, lead the Saints 10-0 with 12 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.

He should be feeling better. He threw a TD. 10-7 Rams at 2-minute warning in the first half.

@RollerColt  I read that Jamar Chase is out on Saturday.

 

The Bengals have been on National TV a lot this season. They were on last Saturday and again this Saturday. They have played on Thursday and Monday night too. I think they have played on Sunday night as well.

Yep. Higgins will be stepping up. 
 

Saints going for it cost them big time. All their momentum gone.

[VikingsFanInChennai]

Kyren Williams has emerged as the latest elite RB in the league

[2006Coltsbestever]

Rams have this in the bag now. They will be the 6th seed in the NFC with a win tonight.

[VikingsFanInChennai]

Rams should get a play-off spot.

 

Wild card spot in NFC is gonna come down to Seahawks or Vikings ( or Packers if they win next 3).

Puka is a BEAST!

96 recs and 1300 yds in his FIRST year.  A little low on touchdowns but he’s averaging 13.8yds!  
 

I like downs but man imagine if we had puka

Fifth round pick producing like that is very impressive. Helps that Stafford is his QB, but his talent is easy to see.

yeah, dude is going to smash the rookie yards record.  And that’s before he reaches 17 games.  Approaching the records for most 100yd games for a rookie and receptions also.  
 

and he dropped all because he ran a 4.56.  Let’s you know sometimes the 40 isn’t the end all be all.  Gotta give it to the rams.  I thought they were going to be bad for a while after the “F Them Picks” mantra.  But they’ve put together a good team.  Really puts in perspective of how great AR was that game
 

well, I’m happy we got our late round draft gem in Jaylon jones.  We needed corners more anyway lol

We did a mock draft on the Vikings site that I follow. I saw Puka Nacua and thought he would be a Packer. The person who was making picks for the Packers is very knowledgeable about players, scouting, etc. He thought Puka would be a good player and selected him for the Packers. This same fan was the first to tell me about AR. He thought AR would make a great QB in the NFL. So the Colts may have a future star in AR.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Even by going all in in 2021, the Rams have stayed relevant because of 2 things. They have a borderline HOFame QB and a great Coach. Not to mention they still have Donald on that D Line. If Stafford would have retired after the Rams won it all, they would not be a playoff team IMO. They can rebuild while still having Stafford, what a luxury to have. They will eventually need to get another QB but should be ok for 1 or 2 more years.

I hope to watch some games later. This morning, two of my colleagues and I are delivering gifts to children of two families. My job bought lots of gifts for all of them. This time my job (place of employment) has gift cards for the parents. The last time I volunteered to do this, the kids opened their gifts while the mother looked on. My colleague and I felt like we should have given this mother a gift too.

 

I don't know these families but I love bringing smiles to the kids' faces. It should be a rewarding experience.

Good for them and you.  Giving to others can be such an amazing experience that I wish everyone would take part in a LOT more.

Hey everyone, who are we all cheering for to

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Let’s go Steelers. Have some pride man.

Steelers over  Bengals 

Bills are not going to lose against chargers tonight. 
 

Tomorrow 

browns over texans

Bucs over Jags 

[w87r]

Good start 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

That was awesome. Apparently Pickins had a hard week being trashed because he is known as being physical.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Steelers defense is so banged up I don’t know if they will be able to stop bengals. We will see.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Steelers giving so much cushion making it hard to give the pass rush a chance. They have way to many injuries.

[w87r]

Nice INT in the EZ

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Browning throws a bad int. Just throw it away.

[Solid84]

Bengals helping us out..

Nah, throw it to the Steelers all day.

Nice but it’s early.  We know how that can turn around.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

You can see how comfortable Rudolph is in Tomlinson system. Glad it was trubisky last week.

[richard pallo]

I like Blackledge doing the color commentary.  He’s really good.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Bengals go to chiefs next week. If steeler can win this game really good for colts.

[Solid84]

Steelers are playing a lot better than last week. So far at least.

As in last week's Steelers/Colts & Vikings/Bengals games.

No doubt 

 

 

Can't believe they had to waste a timeout there. That's ridiculous, literally 1st and 10, run the ball once and take it to 2nd quarter. Easy call.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Steelers hold tie breaker over bengals if they win. Glad colts beat them last week.

[w87r]

TD Calvin Austin III

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Touchdown 

[SwedishColt]

Im trying to figure out who to root for really. I can see pros and cons to both results.

 

Im leaning towards wanting the Bengals to win though to get Steelers out of the playoff race for good. Steelers win wouldnt be the worst thing in the world though of coure. What do u guys think?
