Last season's top seed in the AFC trying to avoid an 0-2 start. Still can't believe they blew that Giants game last week.

Where have I been? There are two games on Monday night now? How long has this been going on? Lol

Allen needs to take it easy on these runs. Not going to last all season

Usually it's just week one. This season they're doing it in week two, for some reason.

Back to just one MN game the rest of the year.

They usually do it week 1 for the past 2 or 3 years. For some reason doing it week 2 this year.

Ohhhh yeah I remember the week 1 thing now. Weird they did it on week 2 this year.

Now that is some really poor tackling there.

 

[guag]

Wow, and the full back too.

 

[Jake]

Players dropping like flies.

 

[jazzcat22]

2 players injured already for both teams.

Titans moving the ball as well as Bills did. But still need to score yet.

Yeah there doing it week 2 for a few reasons

- there trying to eliminate the back to back games that they did with no overlap (last game didn't ended till 1am eastern under the old format). Should do better ratings

-They wanted Russell Wilson's return to Seattle to be the sole focus for week 1 MNF

- Starting next year MNF is doing a double header 3x all with overlap so doing week 2 is basically a trial to see how it does after the opening week

 

[Redline360]

That looked like a KM play

 

[Tussinman]

Ohhhh yeah I remember the week 1 thing now. Weird they did it on week 2 this year.

Yeah they didn't want to compete with Wilson's return to Seattle + there doing a double header 3x next year so they want to see the ratings on a non opening week matchup

I didn't notice in real time, but that replay looked like he only got 1 foot down. Of course, only one look then commercials.

Nope, got the toe tap. Good call.

Laughable challenge. What were they thinking there?

I think someone upstairs is going to get an earful from McDermott at halftime.
