Wow. I can see why people would get hoodwinked by the NFL of today...

One of the few acceptable Thursday night matchups tonight.  Carolina and Pittsburgh, each probably the top "second-tier" choice for the Super Bowl right now.

So, we're five minutes in as I write:

• Carolina marches the ball down the field, nine plays, 7-0 Carolina.
• Pittsburgh gets the ball and does THIS...

Now FOX wants to blame #24, but #41 clearly releases Smith-Schuster for the freebie, leaving #24 off to dry.

• Ensuing kickoff called back to the Carolina 12 on holding penalty.  Cam Newton about to take a safety -- chucks the ball up for grabs...  and two becomes PICK SIX.
• Within FIVE MINUTES:  Twenty-one points, 14-7 to Pittsburgh.

Really...  Really...
