Sunday night should have been one of the best games of the year. Arizona and Seattle was a playoff caliber matchup. The game itself was everything currently wrong with the NFL. It was a 6-6 abomination of a game. There was almost not any vertical passing game, zero TDs, and no offense. It was a …

Ohio State just lost a great game at unranked Penn State. They’ll probably fall from #2 to somewhere between #7-#10 when the next polls come out.
