Could you make a case that the Giants are worse than the Bears?

Or the Patriots.

The 0-5 Panthers say hello (and they'll say it again next week when they fall to 0-6 after getting crushed at Miami) ... and they don't even have a first-round draft pick to look forward to.

Historically, this is a game Detroit would find a way to lose.   Perhaps even Vegas has some reservations.

Sorry for suggesting the Lions would win by 35; they only won by 18 (twice the line at the beginning of the week) -- and dominated from start to finish despite being without their best receiver, their top draft pick and one of their best defenders.

The Lions' "history" is only about now, tower, and they're damn good.

That was a swift Viking turnover and KC score.

I appreciate creative play calling.  That option reverse on a fake punt by Minnesota was a creative play call.    And the Vikings paid it off.

Chiefs are so weird sometimes.  That first half final drive was just bizarre and pure hubris.  Just have these games where they look like they are sleep walking.  They will still win comfortably because the Vikings stink, but following a dominant first drive with a half of complacency on both sides of the ball is something

EDIT: of course as I type this they march flawlessly like they do and basically put the game away

Kirk Cousins is like a better version of Jay Cutler. He's got all the passes, he's got hella stats, and he's done a little regular-season winning ... but it's impossible to actually trust him to lead your team to greatness.

11 years as an NFL starter, 1 postseason win - and even that 1 was handed to him by the worst defensive play in NFL history.

But he's excellent at compiling stats and pocketing big paydays, so good for him there.

11-0 in one score games a year ago.   That eventually evens out.

Purdy is no joke.  How is this possible?  Last guy taken in the draft?  Wow just wow.

He's accurate, he's smart, he has a great O-line (and defense), and a coach that schemes people open.

The SF system has made QBs look good, provided that they are smart and accurate.

According to Spotrac Kirk has earned over $231 Million. Pretty good haul .

Very happy that Zavala was able to fly home with the Panthers.   That was a scary few minutes.   Lions fans older than a certain age having Mike Utley and Reggie Brown flashbacks.

If I were a Vikings fan, I would be upset that KC had that dpi flag picked up (borderline but probably correct) and absolutely livid that the Chiefs db was allowed to remove his helmet to argue about it without receiving a penalty.

Definitely on the last one. But since the play was over, it would have meant the Chiefs still had the ball, 1st and 10 but 15 yards further back. Enough to make a difference? Who knows.

Yes, if I were a Vikings fan, I'd be upset/livid, too. But fans of teams have rooting interest and do not thing objectively.

IMHO, that would have been a bad interference call. Much, much worse happens on a majority of pass plays, and that ball was uncatchable.

The player absolutely should have been flagged for removing his helmet, but it wouldn't have helped the Vikings on that drive - they already had given up the ball on downs, KC would have had it, and it would have just meant KC began its possession 15 yards back.

If I were a Vikings fan, what I'd really be upset/livid about is that my head coach wasted not 1, not 2, but all 3 time-outs, leaving my team with no way to stop the clock for the last 9 minutes of the game. Ultimately, that killed any chance of a legit Minnesota comeback.

Yeah, the second timeout was on an obviously bad challenge. The third was on that 4th and 2 where KC had no intention of going for it.
