- Biggest rig-job before SNF appears to be in Dallas in the late-afternoon feature against the Redskins.
20-17 in the 4th, setting up a tying 47 yard field goal at the gun, and a weird penalty is called.
False start on the snapper. If you watch the replays, you can see he is fidgeting the ball -- but the question should be: WHO DOESN'T??
52 yard attempt boinks the upright, and 20-17 is the final.
That's ANOTHER loss you can chalk up to Jerry Jones and his staff not properly policing their players off the field. This week, it was announced that, for the fourth consecutive year, Jerry Jones has to send a check to the league for multiple suspended players.
And you still want to swear your life and fealty and sacrifice your friends and family for all this?
- Home teams went THREE AND EIGHT entering the primetime games.
- 46.6 for the week so far on the scoring -- a tick below the pace for the record average, but two games with high Vegas totals (56 tonight, 53 tomorrow -- but both are significantly down from the opening line!)
- Each one of the six games, so far, which have been within eight points have also featured at least one Last Chance Miss.
- Two games actually featured two, when the team which had just scored to get within one point missed both the conversion (one extra point, one 2-point try), and the ensuing onside kick!
- The NFL record for overtime games in a season by one team is five. (The 1983 Packers, the 2003 Panthers) Cleveland already has four, and it's Week 7.
But nothing could compare to the complete whitewashing of Cincinnati that Kansas City did on Sunday Night Football.
24-7 at half.
38-7 within five minutes of the third quarter.
45-10 with about five minutes left in the game. Kansas City is driving because Cincinnati's defense can't stop water.
Long run for the Kansas City running back, but just when he's about to score, he "inexplicably" stumbles just inside the 10.
4 plays later, KC gets NOTHING and doesn't even try to!!
Why do I include this as a rig-job?
Over-under was 56.5-57, and the game goes under as a result!!

It was so obvious and so bad that even Collinsworth and Michaels had to admit talking about the Over...
Statistics being posted in the post-mortem indicate 3 out of every 4 dollars wagered were on the Over.
