@NFL_Researcher Is this a good time to out you as a Cowboys fan??

[Bill Smith @BillSmithNFL]

Winning a title game with two 3’s is wild, especially in today’s game. Old school free throw shooting got it done.

@lindsay_rhodes I liked and then immediately un-liked this as it’s a nightmare. Sending positive vibes and looking forward to catching up in Indy

[Bill Smith @BillSmithNFL]

Now 3-3 for 105 yards...maybe we'll see more in the second half

[Bill Smith @BillSmithNFL]

The Rams utilized play action just twice in the first half. Stafford went 2-2 for 65 yards.

That 11.8% play-action rate would be their lowest in a game this season. Stafford led the NFL, using play action on 36.0% of dropbacks.

I broke down how the Patriots used a few variations of the Slant-Flat concept to create explosives and touchdowns against the Texans.

[Bill Smith @BillSmithNFL]

If Indiana can win a national championship, there’s no program in America that can make excuses anymore.

[Bill Smith @BillSmithNFL]

Convinced Cignetti ran on 3rd down because he wanted to go for it in 4th but didn’t get enough yards to get in go range

[Bill Smith @BillSmithNFL]

Never mind…

[Bill Smith @BillSmithNFL]

Actually would have been better for Miami to give up another two yards there so it’s 1st down rather than 2nd & 1

[Bill Smith @BillSmithNFL]

Good time to callback how going for it on 4th down can be beneficial.
