CJ McCollum's shot-making has been on point tonight. He's come up with some big buckets in crucial moments.

Vintage Michael Thomas.

[Marlow Ferguson Jr. @meloferg]

@KozmoAndre I peeped that too 😂. When he came out of halftime w/ that 30-yard run, I’m like … wait a second, has he run the ball yet? Such a odd game all around bro

[Marlow Ferguson Jr. @meloferg]

Excited to talk about how legitimate this Chiefs defense is — the Lions and Jaguars were both top-10 in points scored in 2022.

Kansas City has held them to a combined 23 points over two weeks. 🫨

Mike Breen is one of the greatest play-by-play broadcasters in all of sports. His iconic catchphrase, “Bang!”, is used occasionally during a clutch shot, tough shot, a heat check, etc.

Here is every player to get a “Bang” call over the past 10 seasons from the legend himself sorted in frequency order.

If you want clips of every call from a specific player, just reply the player’s name on this post.

@OTownNBA Never seen anything like this 😮‍💨. You went crazy

Bijan Robinson had himself a GAME against the Packers:

• 19 carries (led team)
• 124 rushing yards (led team)
• 4 receptions
• 48 receiving yards

Robinson was also Atlanta’s fastest ball carrier recorded at 19.43 MPH.

Robinson is now up to 180 rushing yards, 75 receiving yards and a TD on the season.

The Falcons RB is a PROBLEM 😳

[Marlow Ferguson Jr. @meloferg]

@navsuperfan1 Yeah, it’s gonna be some awkward stories over the next few days w/ his benching … happens though. It’s always kinda weird early in season

[Marlow Ferguson Jr. @meloferg]

@GabLikesFball No doubt, bro! So many unsung heroes too … I’m at the crib yelling about Mike Danna 😂

And to think, these first two games were the “difficult” ones … gets a little easier next week w/ Chicago and then the Jets

[Marlow Ferguson Jr. @meloferg]

@navsuperfan1 Definitely agree, hasn’t been this ugly since that October stretch back in 2021.

Love the fact that even in an ugly win, Pat Mahomes still casually goes and gets 300+ and two TDs though. 😂

[Complex Sports @ComplexSports]

GENO SMITH IS STILL NOT WRITING BACK 🔥🔥

[Marlow Ferguson Jr. @meloferg]

Closing w/ the weather aspect.

Chris Jones is said to get “20-to-30” snaps — not the greatest for his contract incentives — but interested to see how he deals w/ the humidity.

Both lines (JAX is banged up, KC’s No. 28 DVOA on runs) should be interesting in the rain / heat.

[Marlow Ferguson Jr. @meloferg]

Studying up a bit on the Jaguars ahead of the Chiefs-Jaguars battle today.

Can’t see Kansas City falling to 0-2 — predicting a 28-24 win over Jacksonville — but there are a few factors that could maybe influence the outcome.

Brief 10-part thread below:

[Marlow Ferguson Jr. @meloferg]

I’ve watched this T-Law throw at least 20 times this week.

But, per Next Gen Stats, this crosser had just a 23.2 percent completion probability. Lots of these type throws in W1.

He had 18 “interceptable passes” in ‘22 — wondering if KC’s secondary can flip these into turnovers.

[Marlow Ferguson Jr. @meloferg]

Foye Oluokun, the NFL’s tackle leader stood out on those 3D stops, but here’s where Kelce should come in.

Most teams frequented nickel vs. KC — Jags didn’t, trusting their LBs. No. 87 took advantage of it last year

[JAX also allow 4th-most yards to TEs in ‘22, 5th-most in ‘23].

[Seth Walder @SethWalder]

Kelce's 14 receptions and who they came against, via Next Gen Stats.

[Marlow Ferguson Jr. @meloferg]

Thinking about third downs, especially short.

JAX defense vs. Colts in W1: 2-of-12 (16.7%, No. 2 in NFL) + 4 failed 4D tries (lol).

The Chiefs, likewise, have struggled w/ this area. To quote @ByNateTaylor’s stat on it:

Full trust in Reid to get it right this week, though.
