Football season is here!!!

Well Live by the Sword Die by the Sword.  Dan Campbell and the Lions went 0-5 on 4th down attempts Sunday night against the Eagles.  The aggressive style has been his approach to coaching the team since he took over in 2021, and often times with great results.  Not this game. Eagles win it 16-9 and improve to 8-2.  Philly looked good on defense, pressuring Goff the whole game, deflecting several passes, forcing an INT, and getting the stops.  They also looked sharp on special teams coverage.  Lions drop to 6-4, putting them in third place in the division behind the Bears and Packers.  

We now have the Eagles, Rams, and Colts all at 8-2, and the Patriots and Broncos at 9-2.  Other division leaders are the Steelers (6-4) Bucs (6-4) and Bears (7-3).

This is terrible to hear.  Condolences to his family.

KC likely ended their consecutive run of division titles, playoff appearances, and Mahome's streak of playing in conference championship games with that loss to Denver.  On a high note, Travis Kelce is now KC's all time TD leader, passing Priest Holmes.

It won't get any easier this week, they play the 8-2 Colts on Sunday who are coming off a bye week.  Then the play the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, so that one will be easier. Also, they will get another shot at the Broncos on Christmas Day.  If KC can get in, they will have a chance to get back to the Super Bowl, though they might have to win three on the road in the playoffs.  A few teams have done it, and those teams also had great QBs.  The Packers did it when Rodgers was there, I think in 2010, they were a wild card and won the title.  Then in 2020 the Bucs did it with Tom Brady, three on the road and won a home Super Bowl.  It's rare but it has happened.  With the talent, experience, and coaching that KC has they might be one of the few teams in history that can pull it off.
