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

[Rate the Refs @Rate_the_Refs]

OG with a clear double dribble the refs miss

Schedule predictions from @JoeNFL:
Season Opener: Bears @ Seahawks
Commanders opener vs Atlanta
Commanders London Game Week 4 vs Colts

[Joe Ferreira @JoeNFL]

@JPFinlayNBCS And it looks like my Bengals at Falcons in Madrid prediction is coming true…which bodes well for Colts - Commanders wk 4 in London @JPFinlayNBCS

@FOS Fyi @AEricFisher and @FOS … the NBC added NFL Saturday games are week 17…not the League’s final weekend…those still remain with Netflix (early) and ESPN afternoon and evening.

[Joe Ferreira @JoeNFL]

Michigan #3 Cadeau carries the ball every time he dribbles. Love to see it called but realize rules are “suggestions” these days.

[Joe Ferreira @JoeNFL]

Great theater in KY win…but this is accurate below…in addition to ignoring Santa Clara timeout call

[Justin Macmahan @JustinMacmahan]

Oweh caught it and took a full dribble before the clock started running and then “got the shot off” with a couple tenths of a second left. Santa Clara got robbed by the clock operator. Completely illegitimate win by Kentucky

[Joe Ferreira @JoeNFL]

With Tua headed to ATL…that gives them two lefties at QB (Penix, Jr) on same team…don’t ever recall that happening in NFL before. Anyone @NFLfootballinfo ? @AdamSchefter ?

[Joe Ferreira @JoeNFL]

@soonerad Legend!! Congrats @soonerad on a great run and shepherding the greatest athletic program in the country. Enjoy your next move ahead my friend!

[Ben Stevens @BenScottStevens]

Tonight was Purdue’s 17th Top 15 game since the start of 2023-24.

The Boilers are now 12-5 (.706) in such games.

58 D-I MBB teams have played 10+ Top 15 games in that same span.

Purdue is the ONLY team with a win percentage of 70% or better.

Beat the best.

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

Viktory.

Played golf with Lynn and a few friends at La Costa in Carlsbad, CA back in the day when I was working San Diego Chargers game for NFL and Lynn was sideline reporter for Monday Night Football. Great guy…hit the ball a mile but not always where he wanted it to go…lol. Hope he’s doing well.

2025 NFL season Playoff teams and Seeds look very similar to 2013 season...

In 2025 we have #1 DEN vs #2 NE....and #1 SEA vs #5 LAR (same division).

2013 AFC Championship saw #1 seed DENVER host #2 seed NEW ENGLAND...in Manning/Brady Bowl XV....with DEN winning 26-16 behind Manning's 400-yard passing performance.

The 2013 NFC Championship had #1 seed SEATTLE hosting #5 seed SAN FRANCISCO (wild card from same division)...with SEA winning 23-17 with late interception by eventual SB MVP Malcolm Smith.

Curious to see how 2025 playoffs turn out this weekend!

[Joe Ferreira @JoeNFL]

Crazy stat

[Next Gen Stats @NextGenStats]

Caleb Williams' 14-yard game-tying touchdown pass to Cole Kmet traveled 51.2 yards in the air, the longest completed pass by air distance in the red zone in the NGS era (since 2016).

🔹 Completion Probability: 17.8%

#LARvsCHI | #DaBears

[Joe Ferreira @JoeNFL]

@bpf_by_blaine yes...i was "trying" to say only 4 vs 6 where the 4 went on to win Super Bowl but not clear.

[Joe Ferreira @JoeNFL]

Heading into Divisional Weekend, we have both conferences with the exact same surviving seeds (1,2,5,6).

Since the League went to 6 playoff seeds per conference in 1990 (added 7th in 2020), we have NEVER had a 5 vs 6 Conference Championship Game.
5 and 6 seeds have made significant appearances though with:
* PIT in 2005 being the first 6 seed in a conf champ game and going on to win the SB that year.
* NYG won the SB in the 2007 season as 5 seed beating undefeated NE that year
* GB won in 2010 as the 6 seed with Aaron Rodgers beating his future PIT team
* TB won in 2020 as the 5 seed with Tom Brady at the helm.
* In 2021, we had our only 4 (LAR) vs 6 (SF) Conf Champ Game...where the 4 seed LAR went on to beat 4 seed CIN in the Super Bowl.
