Stupid decision from Reid to go with a QB sneak when Mahomes was already crocked with an ankle injury. They re-signed Anthony Sherman in the offseason, presumably in part for short yardage situations exactly like that one.

Bit harsh. It was a completely random injury which wasn't connected to the other injury problem he was having. I'm sure it isn't an enjoyable play for a QB but how often do guys actually get hurt doing it?

Indeee. Brady is known for it. How interested do you think Belicheck is in injuring Brady?

As I said, the Chiefs re-signed Sherman for this sort of situation. Reid values his FB because he’s proven himself over the years so use him. Everyone knows Mahomes has been hobbling for weeks so he’s it’s a red rag to a bull when using his legs, especially for a division rival.

If Mahomes was 100% then yeah, maybe go the sneak. But with a proven FB in the line up and a QB already carrying an injury it was silly to run the play. They got burned bad and now it puts the season in jeopardy.

Best case scenario is three or four weeks I reckon but we’ll see with the MRI results.

Despite how those plays look, a QB sneak is much lower risk for injury than most things QBs are asked to do inside or outside the pocket, especially while already carrying an injury. If you're too worried about him doing a QB sneak then you might as well not have him active for a game.

Freak injuries happen but I'm happy to change my mind if you can list out the QBs that have been seriously injured over the last few years doing a QB sneak.

As a broncos fan I have to say that the game last night was a disappointment - its likely Lock will start against the Browns

For the rest of the NFL - fire sale in Denver - any offers for Harris, Sanders, Wolfe, Miller

He had no knee problem as far as I'm aware so this is a new injury. It's unfair to blame the coaches for this injury.

The niners are clearly a Better team then the redkins but the heavy rain and field conditions could hurt them.

Raiders got a TD that has been wiped out by a flag.

C'mon Kirkland Cousins.
