I did not know that. Good piece of trivia!

I think The Bills, Chiefs, Ravens, Browns, Rams, Packers and Bucs are all in the mix. Hard to choose a favourite
Ok, after a few games I'm going with Rams v Bills or Chiefs Superbowl.

Give me a few more weeks I might finally stick my neck out. :lol:

The Rams look good. Nice for Stafford to be at a good team for once, he’s always been class

Chiefs in shambles 1-2. Chargers did a number on them tonight.

Massive penalty at the end.

I knew he was pretty decent but he's better than I thought he was. Made a real difference already.

Anyone else feel sorry for the Jaguars. Could have had that last night. Bengals only led once, the final kick.

Yeah, Lawrence looked much better tonight and James Robinson was more like last years version, they were unlucky.

The Green Bay game at the Bengals was bonkers.


London game looked an impressive sight, even if the game was a bit lacking. The stadium looks good in NFL mode.

Question for those that are in the know. Have they changed to ball this year? So many extra points and field goals missed, but some massive ones made as well (the longest ever was a few weeks ago)

Go Saints! A couple of nasty concussions yesterday, particularly in the Giants game. I only watched the first couple of quarters in that though. In typical US broadcasting fashion we missed a TD due to it being on one of their mid-game commercial breaks.

Did anyone go to the game at the Spurs stadium?

KC a shadow of the team from the last few years. 2-3 and bottom of the division.

Yeah I did. Great game and as much as I hate them it is a decent ground to be fair, especially for NFL, but prefer it at Wembley to be honest. Found it amusing seeing one geezer in an Arsenal shirt and then a group of lads singing bubbles on their way out :crylol:

If it wasn't so far away I be all over a game there, just too far to travel. Now if the Bears came over I might find a way (though Shoulder Field is still on my bucket list)

It was indeed.

Mason Crosby has been solid ever since I started following the Pack in 2006 when I married a girl from Wisconsin. Has hardly missed a kick in years yet last night 3 FGs and an extra point went begging. Luckily he wasnt the only one kicking with his boots on the wrong feet.

Came good in the end though :bump:

Crosby had a similar game 3 or 4 years ago vs the Lions.

Didn't get so lucky that day.

I went to the game at the Tottenham stadium on Sunday…going again this week. I noted with interest that the ground was specifically designed for the needs of the NFL according to them. If you hear from a spud that we play in an athletics stadium you now have the ideal riposte. I can confirm that the stadium is ideal for NFL except for a ludicrous looking chicken on a beachball statuette on the top of the roof.
Ps If you think the food and drink at the LS is expensive you can’t afford to go there.

£28 for 4 beers (****ing Bud) at Wembley. Worse than that?
