Re: Random NFL tidbits/stats that you find interesting...

The Cowboys and the Ravens are the only NFL teams to average more than one post-season game for every year of their existence. Dallas has had 67 in 64 seasons, Baltimore 30 in 28 seasons.

The game's best catcher getting a gruesomely broken leg is a bit more than "nicked up."

Re: Kirk Cousins (R.I.P. Vikings career?) - How did he do?

Something the Vikings have struggled to do is draft and develop a franchise quarterback within their own system. They always seem to end up with someone else's rejects. In this century, their only real score in that area has been Culpepper. Since Tarkenton retired, Culpepper and Tommy Kramer are the...

Re: Freezer Bowl

I also noticed that the Packers used to have many of their home games in the first half of the season and went on the road in the second half. I assume that was to try to an avoid the cold in Green Bay? Partly, also so that Green Bay could take care of their annual games at Los Angeles and San Fran...

Re: Freezer Bowl

I think we'd better get used to scenarios like the one in Buffalo.
