More woe for kickers are Reed misses again for the Steelers. Jets had a straightforward miss earlier too but that will likely be meaningless at the end of a facile win.
Lovely run from LT there as he marks his first 100 yard rushing game in 2 years with his second TD.
Watching Hard Knocks over the summer, Rex Ryan couldnât hide his delight at their acquisition of Tomlinson. Heâs looking good for them now anyway.
Fuck sake.
Field Goal crapness in the NFL continues with Folk missing a straightforward one for the Jets there that would have levelled up the game.
Looks like the Bills-Chiefs OT was a bit of a train wreck for kickers too until the very end.
In other news, the usual mayhem and mistakes when Tuckman takes the chair in the Sky studio.
Missed all the earlier action so settling down to the Vikings-Patriots match now.
But Packers 9-0 Jets. What the fuck?
Nice bye week for the Eagles with Washington and Dallas losing - we can officially count Dallas out of the NFC East reckoning anyway.
Yeah Jets offence was horrible earlier. Some really bad decisions. Sanchez was a bit all over the place. And Packers werenât much better but they benefited from some favourable refereeing calls and some slightly more effective playcalling.
Brilliant TD from Johnson there at San Diego. On a sweep going right and he met a dead end so checked back and went the other way and ran it home.
Chargers imploding again though. Gave up a safety from a blocked punt early on. Sproles dropped a simple catch there for a third down conversion and theyâre just giving away loads of yards on penalties and other stupid errors.
Awesome play by Brady there.
Big couple of plays for Chargers. Titans had a TD interception brought back for a hold and two plays later it was a TD all the way at the other end from Gates. Some good evening games on tonight.
The Vikings have waived Randy Moss. Unbelievable scenes.
What the fuck is all this about I wonder?
The Minnesota Vikings waived wide receiver Randy Moss Monday, NFL Networkâs Michael Lombardi reports.
Moss did not fly back to Minnesota with the team following a 28-18 loss to the New England Patriots Sunday, according to Lombardi.
Vikings coach Brad Childres informed the team of the move in a meeting Monday morning. Fox Sports and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer reports that the move came as a total surprise to players and some members of the Vikings staff.
Moss, acquired by the Vikings in a trade with the New England Patriots following Week 4, appeared in just four games with Minnesota in 2010, catching 13 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns.

The Vikings sent New England a third-round pick in 2011 in exchange for Moss and a seventh-round pick in 2012.
The Vikings originally drafted Moss in 1998 with the 21st pick in the NFL draft.
Vikings linebacker Ben Leber told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that Childress didnât give the team a reason for cutting Moss.
â(He) just wanted to give everybody a heads-up and say this is whatâs going on, and thatâs it,â Leber said. âHe didnât really dive into any details, and just said thatâs what were going to go with.â
Mossâ much anticipated return to New England as a Viking Sunday proved to be anticlimactic, until the game was over that is.
After catching just one pass for eight yards, Moss was seen embracing Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, coach Bill Belichick and other ex-teammates.
An emotional Moss then addressed the media â something he was fined $25,000 for not doing during the week leading up to the game â about coming back to Gillette Stadium just weeks after having been traded.
âIt was hard for me to come here to play, an up and down thing. I was on a roller coaster all week,â said Moss. "To see these guys running plays and I know what they are doing, I know what type of feeling they have in the locker room.
âI miss every last helmet in that locker room.â

While saluting the Patriotsâ performance Sunday, Moss also appeared to question his own coaching staffâs preparation for the game.
âI tried to prepare; tried to talk to the coaches and players about how this game was going to be played â a couple tendencies here and a couple tendencies there,â Moss said. "But the bad part about it, you have six days to prepare for a team and on (Sunday ⌠they come over to me and say, âDang, Moss, you were right about a couple plays and a couple schemes that they were going to run.â
âIt hurts as a player that you put a lot of hard work in all week and toward the end of the week, Sunday, when you get on the field, that is when they acknowledge the hard work you have put in all week. So that is a disappointment.â
Moss now has 24 hours for a team to claim him and his contract off waivers. If Moss is unclaimed, he will become a free agent, but the remainder of his contract will be paid by the Vikings. Moss would then have the opportunity to earn even more money through a new deal with a new team.
Childress downplayed Mossâ post-game comments.
âNot at present, I donât. No,â Childress said when asked if he regretted trading for Moss. "I just think he was going back to a spot that he has a lot of affection for.
"I thought by and large those comments were regarding the people there, the coach there, the ownership there. And obviously thereâs a fondness in his heart for those guys on that football team.
âHey, youâd like to go out there and beat their tails off. Thereâs nothing he would like better. At the same time, he enjoyed his stay there.â
Serious surprise that.
Watching it on ESPN now on their MNF preview.
Keyshawn Johnson going mad on ESPN here.
âI donât trust Childress. You just canât trust Childress.â
Good debate actually. Very polarised opinions. Half the panel alleging that Moss didnât try and consistently plays when it suits him only. Others saying that Childress is a prick.
Serious tension and emotion over the Moss situation indeed.
Now for the best segment in sports. Câmon man!
Titans have picked up Moss.
Bills have picked up Merriman from the Chargers.
Word on the street is that the people in Tennessee are waiting to see how Moss likes the food before buying a jersey.
