Every few years, defences adjust and then the league has to tweak the rules to bring more scoring back. It's been happening since the 70s.

At the moment, the Bucs and Giants are in playoff position.

Other than the Texans, Colts and Broncos, I don't think they'd be favoured over any AFC team.

Re: World Cup - Qatar - Knockout rounds to the Final

Don't like having Kane take the second PK. If a different player took that second PK and did not score, the second-guessing and complaints about not using Harry Kane would be so loud we'd hear them all the way across the ocean. That's very true. Kane is as money as there is when it comes to PKs.

Watching games on delay - just finished the Brazil-Croatia game... and instant classic. Absolutely wild how both teams managed (more or less) to play their style. Yet even though the Croatia keeper should get a statue in Zagreb, it really can't be said that Croatia didn't deserve the win.
