@lt4kicks @NFL Game. Over. Exception is 10 minutes is maximum OT.

NFL History: The 27-27 NYG-WAS tie today is first tie in NFL since last year's 40-40 GB-DAL tie on Sept 25...and the last tie before that involved both NYG and WAS tying 20-20 on Dec. 4 2022. Ties typically make the playoff scenarios a bit more challenging, especially for intradivisional tie games and also brings in "2 ties = 1 win + 1 loss" fun playoff scenarios later in the season.

The @NFL is experiencing great overall parity since the League went to 8 divisions in 2002. Last season saw a record-tying 7 NEW division champions (only happened previously in 2011) and the least amount of new champions is 2 happening only in 2012 and 2014.

The average number of new division champs since realignment in 2002 is 4.65 (more than half) with at least half of NFL divisions crowning a new champion in 19 of the 23 years since 2003. Other than the division dominance of NE and KC for a number of years, most divisions rarely have repeat champions. In fact, until PHI repeated in 2025, no team had repeated as NFC East champion since 2004, the longest such streak in NFL history.

Last year's champions:
AFC: NE, PIT, JAX and DEN
NFC: PHI, CHI, CAR and SEA

We're already seeing some great starts from surprising teams (LV, CLE, NYG, MIN)...who will be this year's NEW champions?

Look forward to providing NFL playoff scenario insight throughout 2026, my 34th season handling tiebreaker information for the NFL.

Kind of hard to believe professional officials missed this…and replay as well.

[Terry McAulay @tjmcaulay]

This is illegal on a kickoff. The ball must be kicked on the restraining line, the 35 yard line here.

There is an exception for safety kicks, but not a kickoff.

The MLB HR Derby new format is fine…some good drama. Netflix production is very poor with multiple misplaced graphics, no replay on critical fair/foul hit for Caminero in 1st round and way too many cutaways during ball flight. Maybe next year.

Not sure how 3 licensed NBA officials missed this…inexcusable.
