Man, it sucks that the Pats game superseded the Bears / Giants OT game. That one had some epic plays.

I can't believe the Giants won. The Bears D really disappointed me today in fantasy.

For the Pats, great start, scoring on their first possession. The D gave up a big chunk on Minny's first play, but then recovered and Minny missed a FG. Bonus!

Pat's actually stop Minny on a 3 and out when Minnesota had their first possession. That big run wasn't their first play

Ah, okay, thanks. Guess I missed a bit because the Giants/Bears game was in OT.

The PT riots game I can understand, but they also decided to show some of their pre-game show AND another round of commercials when they could have showed the start of OT
I'm bitter.

Terrible end to the first half for New England: They fail to convert on third and inches, then their D goes into full doofus mode and gives up a quick and easy TD.

Just the worst. How did we not get a half yard? The Pats could be up huge in this game right now with the Edelman non-td (totally pass interference, though) and continuing that drive. How often does Gronk not get any yards after catch?

If you freeze-framed the Gronk catch at the point of the reception and asked if you think Gronk picks up the first, I’d say 99/100 he gets it. I’m not a betting man, but would have bet my eye-teeth he would have fallen forward for the 1st (excellent defensive play).  Also a coaching/Brady mistake to not try to run a quick play before the 2-minute warning (the first one) — I think it was obvious that the spot was generous.

How this game has turned in about 2 minutes of playing time.  From Pats potentially driving to take a dominating lead with the ball coming out of the half, to Vikings potentially taking a lead with drive. This half may tell us a lot about these Pats.

It was an absolutely atrocious final couple of minutes to the first half. Gronk catches a ball within a couple feet of the first down and somehow can't impose his will on a smaller defender, then the Pats fail on third and inches. Then the D, which had shut out Minny to that point, surrenders several big plays and a touchdown in like a minute. And just like that it was a game.

Nicely done Pats! Momentum lost and regained.

What a terrible call.  He didn’t even make the line of scrimmage, let alone the first down.

Terrible throw.  Wasn't hit till after released.  Just run the ball and take time off the clock.  No need for Vikings to have life right now.
