That was an odd one. I'm not 100% sure it was the wrong call, but definitely one of those strange game flipping plays that make all the difference. There was no whistle, but at least one of the refs had begun acting like the play was dead. That crew is definitely garbage. Kerryon's got to know not to reach there though.
Another oddity in this one was a repeat of the Anthony Hitchens in your face non-PI on a game flipping play.
I was loving all the ball punching Detroit was doing on defense. Glover Quin's legacy lives on through the current defensive backfield. That was what won the Philly game, and almost beat KC. It's a safe bet opposing teams are going to be watching out for it in the future, but I hope they don't let up.
This JD McKissic guy has been a hell of a weapon here. It's a small sample size but every game he's seen some action he's had some splash plays. Hopefully he can become a bigger part of the offense. I still don't believe in this run game yet, but knowing we've got someone like him on the team gives me hope.
Hopefully the Hock concussion isn't too serious. It seems like most players make it back after two weeks, especially for their first one. No more hurdling players bud. It looks cool when it works, but the extra 3-4 yards isn't worth getting slammed to the turf from an elevated height.
I feel about the same as I did about this team in 2017 when they lost on the 10 second runoff vs. ATL. They came in to that game 2-0 and just went toe to toe with the defending NFC champs. With A-Aron hurt it felt like the division was theirs for the taking, but they couldn't put it together. Their inability to run up the score and put away games came back to haunt them. I see a lot of similarities with this season so far. The difference that year between 5-11 & 12-4 (they ultimately finished 9-7) was like 10 plays.
They have a real chance of coming off the bye at 100% health, although I have a sinking feeling Mike Daniels may miss some extended time. Get healthy, and go into GB and get it done!
