Dallas Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs has a shot at breaking Dick “Night Train” Lanes single season interception record of 14. So far Diggs has 7 interceptions thru 6 games. Playing in a division with bad QB’s and the addition of the 17th game, those factors will certainly increase his chances of more picks.

Dick “Night Train” Lanes interception record is going to be a tough one to beat though. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think only one player in NFL history has come within 1 interception of Night Trains record. I think it was Lester Hayes of the Raiders who had 13 Ints back in the late 70’s or early 80’s.

I thought there would be more than the three I found since 1960, but it seems there was only three: Ray Malavasi, Joe Vitt and John "Bones" Fassel.

I was going to post a poll but the result would be obvious that after two exhibition games, George Allen was fired in 1978 and Ray Malavasi, who had been interviewed for the HC job, replaced Allen and led the team to a 12-4 record in 1978. We know what happened in 1979. After a strike shortened season in 1983, Dan Reeves was considered to be the top realistic candidate according to a Denver Post article with Dick Vermeil being their top choice. We know that John Robinson ended up coaching the Rams in 1984.

Joe Vitt replaced an ill Mike Martz for 11 games in 2005, with a 4-7 record. Scott Linehan became HC in 2006. Joe Vitt also became interim HC for the Saints during Asshole Face's suspension for Bountygate in 2012.

John "Bones" Fassel took over for Jeff Fisher for the last 3 games in 2016, with a 0-3 record. Bones was retained as Special Teams coach when Sean McVay became HC in 2017.

That tidbit about Dick Vermeil being the Rams favorite choice in 1984 jiggled my memory. I remember that Vermeil was announcing games during this time and was always a dream pick for struggling teams for a new HC.

I haven’t rewatched it yet and didn’t do replays during the broadcast, either. So these are just general impressions after waiting 24 hours to post.

Once again the Rams have started the 1st quarter very slowly and on both sides of the ball, tbh. Hard to understand why that keeps happening. But once they get rolling, Hoo Boy!

We must temper our enthusiasm about beating these injury wracked Giants. It was never a fair fight in the first place.

That 28 point 2nd quarter was one for the books. Been a while since we’ve seen such domination.

Loved Shlereth’s description of Rams running the ball down Giants throats in the 4th quarter as ‘soul sucking’. Priceless.

We all miss Akers, of course, but Hendo and Michel are proving to be much more than adequate for a potential SB run given this QB and this OL.

WTH is up with Wolford? That was NOT confidence inspiring, was it? Too early to think that McVay is starting to have second thoughts about his backup QB pecking order? Wolford vs Perkins? Hmmmmm…

Don’t look now, but Morris seems to be finally making some personnel and scheme adjustments. Emphasis on ‘Finally’. Ramsey played more outside, Rochell has replaced Long, Rapp played more down in the box (to his strengths), Burgess got some snaps at Safety replacing Rapp back there, Deayon got lots of snaps, and most of all it seemed like Morris called a more Staley-like aggressive D after that 1st quarter. Results speak for themselves, don’t you think?

Rochell is learning on the job and sometimes the hard way. And yet he is mentally strong and makes big plays here and there. I love the kid and think his future is bright. If he’s got the football smarts I think he does then this season is gonna prep him to be DW’s ‘22 replacement, as planned.

Deayon is kinda small but boy is he ever sticky. Saw him lots on my TV screen. Nice instincts, too.

Okay, Lewis is winning me over. Not only with his play but mostly because he is showing that he can stay healthy enough to be a consistent contributor. His health was always the only concern from his fanbase. Kudos to Lewis and Reggie and his stellar crew.

Nice to see some backups getting game snaps. Boom and Jones in particular since I suspect that both are in long range Ram plans for ‘22 and beyond. Wouldn’t mind seeing Bobby Brown get in there for a few snaps, too.

Heck, it was great to see Rams empty their bench in that 4th quarter. Good experience for many players and great injury insurance for the Rams.

I continue to be very impressed with this ‘new’ Rams OL. Both running and pass pro are very high quality and make all other Rams O players so much more effective. That old axiom is so true that says it all starts up front.

Well, Mundt is hurt and they say it might be serious. What will McVay do? Hopkins or Harris? Or both in a platoon format?

Rams found a way to get the football in Skowronek’s hands, didn’t they? Too bad about that BS ref call. Skowronek is a football player which is about the highest compliment one can give him. We’re gonna be seeing a lot more from that young man beyond ST over the years, I suspect.

Did anybody notice whether Fuller was played back in his ‘20 role while someone else played the JJ role? I’ve seen that suggested by some but I couldn’t tell whether Morris actually did it.

About Morris. I’ve been quite critical of him through the first 4 games but I will now give him credit for (finally) making needed adjustments. Rochell, Rapp, Burgess, Ramsey (less star), and Deayon were all smart personnel/scheme moves. Seemed more aggressive after that passive 1st quarter, too. Better late than never, but still. The important thing is that those decisions were made. BTW, do you suppose that McVay ‘helped’ Morris to come to those decisions? Hmmmmm…

Couple more games against weaker competition and it would be a perfect opportunity for tweaking and continuing to give snaps to development players in blowouts. Been a LONG time since such an idea could even be seriously suggested.

I continue to believe that the Rams are a top 5 team and a serious contender for a SB run. By game 10-12 I expect the Rams to be firing on all cylinders both on O and on D.

Hot Damn!

This week, I'm focusing on passer rating allowed.

For the Rams' defense, this is a surprisingly favorable stat. The Rams have allowed opposing QBs to achieve an aggregate rating of 81.6 (3rd in NFL). This is largely due to the Rams' interception total (4th in the league with 8), TD passes allowed (tied for 4th with 6), and yards/attempt allowed (tied for 7th at 6.9).

On the flip side, the Detroit Lions are dead last in the NFL, allowing a passer rating of 113.8.

So... yeah, this is another "should win big" week.

I apologize if this has been discussed elsewhere...but, was there ever an explanation of the off-setting penalties on the fake punt? the game announcers did not mention it at all but showed both McVay and DeCamillis highly upset on the sideline....

Monday Night Football: Buffalo Bills vs. Tennessee Titans​

The Buffalo Bills head to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans on "Monday Night Football," looking for revenge and to avoid a trap.

After last week’s 38-20 beatdown of the Chiefs on "Sunday Night Football," the Bills (4-1), alongside the Chargers, are now the front-runners to win the AFC. Their offense is humming and their defense is among the best in the league five weeks in. They’re arguably the most complete, well-rounded team in the entire league. But Monday night’s game could prove to be another detour on the road to Buffalo’s first AFC title in a generation if they aren’t locked in, just like last season’s 42-16 whooping at the hands of these same Titans almost exactly one year ago. But this Bills team, with an even more improved Josh Allen and a dynamic set of skill position players, are better equipped to handle a Tennessee team still trying to smooth out their own wrinkles.

The Titans (3-2) knocked off Jacksonville last week with one of the most mundane 18-point wins you’ll find, especially following a road loss to the lowly Jets in overtime two weeks ago. The Titans are still a good team, I think, but have noticeable flaws, mainly their shaky offensive line and lackluster pass rush. A loss on Monday night wouldn’t be the end of the world, but a win would certainly go further in proving they belong in the conversation among the AFC’s top teams.

Monday Night Football: Buffalo (4-1) vs. Tennessee (3-2)

Kickoff: Monday, Oct. 18 at 8:15 p.m. ET
TV: ESPN
Spread: Bills -5.5

Three Things to Watch

1. Josh Allen, MVP candidate

Allen has gone from an unpolished, inaccurate, and raw quarterback to a full-blown NFL superstar. The jump in production from his first two seasons to last year was absolutely massive. Allen’s first two seasons as the Bills’ signal-caller he completed only 56 percent of his throws, posted a 78.2 rating, and had just 30 touchdown passes. Last year, his numbers exploded to a 69 percent completion rate, 107.2 rating, and 37 TD passes as he led Buffalo to their first AFC title game since 1994.

This year, Allen is proving that last season wasn’t a fluke. In fact, he’s getting better. Allen is currently in the top 10 in passing yards (1,370), touchdown throws (12), yards per attempt (12.2), and he’s only been sacked five times and thrown two interceptions. He proclaimed his case for early-season MVP with his brilliant performance last week against the Chiefs, throwing for 315 yards, three scores, and a 139.1 rating. He also led his team with 59 rushing yards and a touchdown.

The obvious throwing stats for Allen are impressive, but it’s the underlying numbers that prove his real growth as a complete player. First, he’s become a much better pocket passer. He’s making better decisions at a quicker pace, posting a 107.5 rating on throws from the pocket in less than 2.5 seconds.

Secondly, he’s finally developed accuracy with the long ball. He’s connecting on throws of at least 20 yards at a 50 percent clip. Two years ago, that number was just 25 percent. His air yards per attempt (9.9) are second in the league, his competed air yards (929) rank fourth, and his completed passes of 20-plus yards (24) are eighth overall.

Third, Allen is spreading the ball around to a deeper pool of receivers than he’s had before. Last year, Stefon Diggs (127 rec.) and Cole Beasley (89 rec.) combined for 53 percent of Allen’s completions. No one else on the Bills’ roster had more than 38 catches. While Diggs and Beasley still lead the way in terms of catches in 2021, Allen also is finding veteran journeyman Emmanuel Sanders (16.9 ypr, 4 TDs) and tight end Dawson Knox (14.5, 5).

Finally, we all know Allen can run. But this season he’s finally learned when and where to run for maximum effect, and in doing so, picking up more first downs on the ground. Allen has moved the sticks on 17 of his 35 designed run attempts this season, nine of which have come on 12 third-down carries.

Allen hasn’t just blossomed into a good NFL quarterback the last season and a half, he’s turned into a franchise player capable of impacting the game in so many different ways. Monday night, he faces a Titans defense that’s struggled against the pass for the last couple of seasons, allowing a 100.3 quarterback rating and 13.2 yards per reception (29th) this year.

2. Titans’ offensive line is offensive

The Titans’ front line has been an issue for some time now. It all started in Week 1 when $16-million left tackle Taylor Lewan was getting manhandled by every single Arizona Cardinals defender (particularly Chandler Jones who had five sacks), even diminutive (5-10) safety Budda Baker. Ryan Tannehill was sacked six times in that season-opening loss as the Titans’ offense was totally stagnant.

Three weeks later, the offensive line problems popped again, this time it was the entire right side of the line that was collapsing. Right tackle David Quessenberry and right guard Nate Davis combined to allow 20 pressures on Tannehill as the winless and hopeless Jets sacked him seven times in their overtime win, their first of the season.

Statistically, Tennessee has one of the worst offensive lines in the entire NFL. Their 20 sacks allowed are the most in the league, their 2.3 seconds of pocket time is third lowest, and they rank 22nd in protection rate. They’ve allowed Tannehill to get sacked 10 times in just the last two games alone.

And the lack of protection is killing the Tennessee passing game. Tannehill’s bad throw rate is up five points from last year to 18 percent and he’s only able to complete 42 percent of his throws while under pressure. As a team, the Titans rank 28th in expected points contributed by the passing game (11.32) and net yards per attempt (7.5), 26th in yards (221 per game), and 25th in touchdown passes (6).

With the Bills likely stacking the box to attempt slowing down Henry, the Titans’ offensive line will have to dig in against a Bills defense that ranks among the best in the league this season.

3. Bills’ D too much for Titans’ mediocre offense?

The Buffalo offense is the unit that is making headlines this season, and rightfully so, but championship teams are all about balance, and the Bills absolutely have struck the equilibrium. This defense is arguably the best in the NFL, ranking first in points allowed (12.8 per game), turnovers forced (15), and yards surrendered (251.8 per game).

When it comes to slowing down the Titans' offense, it’s all about stopping Henry, the NFL’s back-to-back rushing champ and current leader in the clubhouse. No other defensive unit has been able to do it thus far. But the Bills might just have the squad to at least keep King Henry in check. Might being the keyword. They’ve been magnificent against the run all year, landing in the top five in attempts (107), yards (78.4 per game), rushing touchdowns (1), and yards per carry (3.7).

Buffalo also has the front seven to expose this porous Titans’ offensive line. Despite blitzing on only 28.5 percent of snaps (28th), they get to quarterbacks with the best of them, as they sit in the top five in sacks (14), pressures (59), and hurries (28). And that pressure comes from all angles as Buffalo’s defense has seven players with at least one sack, led by linemen Gregory Rosseau (3) and Star Lotulelei (2). The pressure sets the tone for the rest of the air defense as the Bills lead the league in opposing quarterback rating (60.7) and yards per passing attempt (5.4) allowed.

Final Analysis

A lot of this game comes down to who can control the line of scrimmage. On paper, the Bills have the advantage on both sides of the ball when it comes to line play. But I’m interested to see if this Titans offense, with a healthy A.J. Brown and Julio Jones in the lineup together for the first time in a couple of weeks, can jell when it comes to running and passing the ball. I’m just not sure the Tennessee offensive line can match up with Buffalo’s front seven. Give me the Bills in a close one.

Prediction: Bills 31, Titans 28

Too soon?

1. So much less stress when the Rams win this way. They should do that every week!

2. Yes, the Rams were supposed to beat this Giants team handily. But "should" does not always translate to "did," so its still cause for celebration.

3. Matthew Stafford was very sharp and made some amazing throws. I particularly liked the TD pass to Henderson. Very Warner-to-Faulk-like.

4. Speaking of Henderson... while he has received warranted criticism regarding his durability, he is a very consistent producer when he plays.

5. Cooper Kupp (despite a drop that resulted in Stafford's INT) was dominant. He has been as good as any WR in football this year.

6. The defense really came to play today, filling the stat sheet with sacks and turnovers.

7. With Lewis and Obo both healthy and making plays, the OLB spot opposite Floyd is suddenly a strength.

8. Floyd, by the way, is playing at a Pro Bowl level.

9. After getting a bad Rapp for his coverage this year (see what I did there), it was nice to see Taylor make two big plays.

10. The growing pains continue for Robert Rochell (his INT was the result of a receiver falling, more than anything), but I still think there is potential there.

11. Perhaps the right answer to "what will make the defense improve" is "gaining confidence by playing a few bad offenses.

12. Arizona is still rolling, but its a long season.

13. Take Dallas... they were talked up all week as contenders. Now, they're on the ropes (down by three with 2 minutes to go) against a mediocre Patriots team.

14. Or the Chargers. Many had them as contenders and at least one commentator had Herbert as the best QB in football. Today, they got their asses beat by the Ravens.

15. If the league is serious about addressing taunting, Aaron Rodgers should be fined for his "I own you" comment to Bears fans.

16. Don't think we'll be seeing a Stafford/Wolford QB controversy any time soon.

17. If I was a Giants fan, I would not have been happy to see Daniel Jones still playing in the 4th Quarter.

18. Johnny Mundt is a loss. The Rams have drafted two TEs in the last two years, though (Hopkins, Harris), so... next man up.

19. Do the Rams make a move before the trade deadline? I'd say that, if the answer is yes, it will be for a DB.

20. Is it me, or do you expect that, when McVay talks about Jared Goff coming to play the Rams this week, his tone will be reminiscent of Hannibal Lecter's "I'm having an old friend for dinner" line at the end of Silence of the Lambs?

Been too damn long a wait to relax in the 4th qtr.

about the bad calls for taunting.
The players know the rule. The call against the Eagles was exactly the right call. The media, the coaches, the players, need to stop making excuses for the bone heads who can't follow a simple rule. They all should have called out the LB who pulled the bone head move and taunted. I don't care if it was the last play of the game and 15 yards put a team inside field goal range and they win the game cause of it. Make a good play, turn around and celebrate with your teammates and go back to the huddle and get ready for the next play. Taunting is totally unnecessary part of the game.

Stop Crying about a bad rule. It isn't like it's the Tuck Rule.

Former Los Angeles Rams Coach George Allen is shown talking to his players on the side during an exhibition game
against the San Diego Chargers on Saturday, August 14th 1978 in Los Angeles. Allen, who coached the
Rams for just two preseason games was fired by Rams Owner Carroll Rosenbloom on Sunday.

Sunday Night Football: Seattle Seahawks vs. Pittsburgh Steelers​

Two teams looking to jump-start their seasons will battle it out on "Sunday Night Football" this week when the Seattle Seahawks travel east to face the Pittsburgh Steelers. These are two teams that, before the season, had high expectations of contending for a playoff spot and have each since dug themselves a deep hole after five weeks, sitting at 2-3 entering Week 6.

Seattle dropped a tough one last Thursday night at Lumen Field, falling 26-17 to the Los Angeles Rams. The Seahawks have lost six of their past 10 games at home with fans present. This loss was exacerbated by the middle finger injury to Russell Wilson in the third quarter after contacting Aaron Donald's helmet. Wilson tried to battle through it but did have to leave the game shortly after it occurred. The defense once again failed to hold up its end of the bargain in the second half as the coverage was picked apart by Matthew Stafford, Robert Woods, and the rest of the Rams' offense. The disappointing part of this was the inability to build off of a first-half performance that limited Los Angeles to just three points.

Pittsburgh picked up its second win last Sunday, defeating the Denver Broncos 27-19 at Heinz Field. Ben Roethlisberger went 15-of-25 for 253 yards and two touchdowns. Najee Harris went for 125 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries to provide some much-needed balance to this offense. Success on third down also was a key, as the Steelers converted seven of 12 opportunities in the game. The defense limited Teddy Bridgewater and the Broncos' offense to just six points over the first three quarters, the unit's best showing since Week 1 win at Buffalo. Pittsburgh limited Denver to just two third-down conversions out of 12 tries.

Sunday Night Football: Seattle (2-3) at Pittsburgh (2-3)

Kickoff: Sunday, Oct. 10 at 8:20 p.m. ET
TV: NBC
Spread: Steelers -6

Three Things to Watch

1. Geno Smith vs. Steelers' defense

Smith will be making his first NFL start since 2017 when he was playing for the New York Giants. The first couple of possessions for Smith last week went just fine as he led the Seahawks to 10 points. Lumen Field had extra juice in the building as the fans chanted “Geno, Geno" and he injected some energy into the crowd with his play. Smith finished the game completing 10 of 17 attempts for 131 yards and a touchdown. He also threw an interception late that sealed the victory for the Rams. To be fair, it appeared that Tyler Lockett tripped while running his route, but the errant throw ended any hopes of a Seattle comeback.

On Sunday night, the goal for Smith will involve taking care of the football and getting rid of it quickly to protect the offensive line that will be under pressure all night long. He also must adjust to playing in an unfriendly environment, although Heinz Field doesn't have the same reputation as the Seahawks' home stadium. Pittsburgh's defense appears to be getting healthier than it has been since the start of the season and was in fine form for most of last week's game against Denver. The Steelers will no doubt look to pressure Smith early to rattle him in hopes of coming up with some turnovers. T.J. Watt will play a big part in this, and it seems that his new contract hasn't impacted his performance on the field since he already has five sacks and two forced fumbles this season.

2. Will the Steelers' offense build off the Denver game?

Offensive coordinator Matt Canada has a golden opportunity to stack additional momentum for the offense this week against a suspect Seahawks defense. Seattle is dead last in the NFL with 450.8 yards allowed per game. Thus, you can expect Canada to use Harris to set the tone with the run for a second straight 100-yard rushing effort.

Roethlisberger must make some adjustments in the passing game moving forward following the loss of JuJu Smith-Schuster to a season-ending shoulder injury. Big Ben still has Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool to throw to, who serve as the 1-2 punch similar to the Seahawks' duo of Lockett and DK Metcalf. Smith-Schuster's injury also provides an opportunity for someone like James Washington, Ray-Ray McCloud, or perhaps tight ends Eric Ebron and Pat Freiermuth to step up and take on a bigger role in the game plan. As long as the protection is there and Roethlisberger makes the right decisions, Pittsburgh's passing game should have success Sunday night against a Seattle secondary that is continuously underperforming. Expect more quick throws than deep drops from Roethlisberger because it typically makes life easier for the weak offensive line and the Seahawks haven't shown the capability to consistently defend against those types of pass routes.

3. What type of resilience will we see from the Seahawks this week?

Fans and national media types across the country who follow the Seahawks in any capacity are entering some unchartered waters. Sunday night will be the first time in 149 games that Wilson won't be the starting quarterback. But regardless of the circumstances, head coach Pete Carroll is under pressure to get this team back on track. Carroll is a victim of his previous success, as he has raised the expectations for this franchise to a very high level on an annual basis.

The bottom line is everyone will learn a lot about Carroll and his motivational skill set this week. The first few series of this game are going to show a lot about the mindset of this team. It will be vital for Seattle to start well in all three phases early on to keep the crowd out of the game. The Seahawks also need a fast start to give them that extra bit of confidence to help try and win the game late in the second half. If they fail to start fast, then all bets are off and this game could get ugly right away.

Final Analysis

It would be a huge surprise if this game turned into a full-fledged high scoring affair like the Browns-Chargers game from last Sunday that had a combined 89 points. The Steelers have the superior defense, and you can expect they will leverage that as much as they can this week to keep the score of the game in the mid-20s. Roethlisberger will end up managing the offense well enough to avoid the catastrophic turnover that tends to cost teams a game. The Seahawks will make a few inspired plays early with Smith at quarterback. However, there are health concerns on offense with running back Chris Carson, who is still dealing with a neck injury, and Metcalf, who is battling a foot issue. Those question marks are the biggest reason why Seattle will lose once again this week. Pittsburgh improves to .500 on the season after grinding out a solid victory on Sunday night.

So, being a season tix holder I have NFL gamepass. Signed up last week no prob, everything worked and I was able to watch past games. I signed up because I am in Mexico this weekend. So, testing things tonight and it doesn't recognize my account/eligibility like last week. Seems like because I'm in Mexico. This absolutely sucks seeing I have no other way to watch. I know it's a long shot but does anyone have any knowledge/solution of this issue?? Thanks...

What will Monday’s headlines be about when talking about the Ram’s win?

Me: Stafford, Kupp, Woods, Were the Real Giants.

You can find a full condensed games for the Rams on Youtube vs the Bears, Colts and Bucs. Why is this not the case with the Cardinals and Seahawks games?

Does anyone know why?

Anyone have links to the full games vs the Cardinals and at the Seahawks?

On the first defensive snap of our High School game my son made a tackle for loss and stripped the ball. One of his teammates fell on the ball first.

Then a pile ensued and once the refs got it apart they said that they couldn’t determine that any player on either team clearly possessed the ball because two kids from each team had possession. So they said the play had to be done over and our opponents started with a first down from the original spot.

It sounded like a bunch of BS to me. At the very least it should have been 2nd down at the spot of the fumble recovery. Right?

I’m guessing if they determine possession as a draw the ball goes to the offense.
