One of the coolest things about John Harbaugh asking Lamar if he wanted to go for it is this: bc the math tells you it’s the right move, JH had an opportunity to empower his star player and make a smart decision.
Coaching brilliance.

The NFL taunting rules are even worse than the college targeting rule and that’s difficult

Cowboys LB Micah Parsons played more defensive end today than he has since high school. Did it feel natural? “A lot if it was natural. Some people had a long day out there.” pic.twitter.com/IvXn5CLvVW

Man....I would've gone for two there. Henry was mowing the Seahawks down like grass.

There's virtually nothing we can all agree on on this app except that the NFL's new taunting rule STINKS.

PLEASE NFL. THESE TAUNTING PENALTIES ARE RUINING THE GAME. NOT A SINGLE FAN OR PLAYER WANTED THIS CHANGE. IT HAS TO STOP. PLEASE.

After adjusting for how Jets rookies perform against the Patriots, Mark Sanchez’s 14-9 victory in Week 2 of the 2009 season is the most impressive performance in the history of the National Football League

Wilson joins Sam Darnold and Mark Sanchez (2x) as the only Jets rookies to throw 4 interceptions in a game.
The "record" is Sanchez with 5 (2009 vs the Bills) #Jets— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 19, 2021
I also would have had the second field goal attempt from the #Eagles as a “go for it” situation. We are seeing some good examples of how Nick Sirianni manages these situations compared to Doug Pederson https://t.co/wKSf2PPzYf
