Part of me can't help but wonder if this is a fetish.

Jaire Alexander in coverage: 3 targets, 1 reception for -3 yards

Jalen Ramsey in coverage: 6 targets, 6 receptions for 55 yards, 1 TD



You never even see Alexander on the screen until the 4th quarter when QBs get desperate and start throwing his way. I never thought I'd see a lockdown corner in GB, I hope they can afford to extend him next year.

The Rams zapped a 2-pointer on this nifty play, which is identical to this 2-point play from the Dolphins back in December.

I wonder if it's just common to both playbooks, or if somebody on the Rams staff happened to be watching and thought "that was awesome"?

Yeah, it's "just a hook and ladder," but these two plays were identical and used in the exact same circumstances...

Well, it'll be the Buccaneers. I guess I'm hoping for this 40% chance of precipitation to slow them down, their whole game is based on speed.

Tom Brady won't be affected by the cold, but it sure would be nice to keep him from going to his 16th Super Bowl.

Packers have fired notorious idiot Shawn Mennenga, and promoted a new Special Teams Coordinator. That is positive.

Also, notorious idiot Mike Pettine's contract has simply expired (he had an exit interview) and with no news about an extension, I have to imagine LaFleur's thinking about hiring someone else as DC? I hope? That would also be positive.

I heard a couple days ago about Aaron Rodgers wanting an extension, which would be a good thing for next year's cap as it gives them an opportunity to restructure his money (if it happens). That might give the Packers enough flexibility to retain 1-2 players they like, in what will be a low salary cap year thanks to COVID's impact on revenue.

Otherwise, the team will be disassembled to some extent this offseason, starting with Aaron Jones (who is definitely gonna be gone). That is negative.

2020 was the year, and they done fucked it up.
