Everyone really picking the Bengals who haven't looked good at all against arguably the team that's looked best this season? OK.....

Tua's status is still somewhat in question, and Miami hasn't been truly dominant except for Q4 against the Ravens. Plus the Bengals are at home (and debuting their white helmets, I might add). I think it's a coin flip.

Was hoping they'd pick Chicago. I was going to try to go to the game if they did.

Vegas has Cincy -3.5. Miami is not winning another game like the one against the Bills - they were more than doubled in total yards, first downs, and time of possession. Though oddly they did win one against the Rams in 2020 which might have been even more bizarre: https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/401220127

How was Tua allowed back in that game? He couldn't even stand straight. Bad look for the league.

Texans gave us the most wonderful Christmas present when they routed the Chargers last Christmas!  I believe in deja vu this Sunday!
We're so far south that we're not even considered "The South"

Same with the Cowboys dropping 56 on the ol' Washington Football Team. I call that one the Nightmare After Christmas.

And it became a thousand times worse tonight with Tua taken to the hospital. Hope he's okay first & foremost, but wonder if Miami could be in some serious trouble now for how the whole situation has been handled. Regardless of what the injury on Sunday really was, it's a terrible look for everyone involved.

(And as a side note, announcers really need to stop with the "I'm not gonna speculate..."  coupled with replaying the injury over & over.)

Edited to add: I found it odd that the halftime show didn't make any mention of the Sunday injury, but now Al & Kirk discussed it briefly coming out of a commercial break. Either way, Amazon is clearly treading lightly on the subject.

"Of course!"

Scary situation with Tua and hope he's OK...

I know concussion protocols in the NFL are better than they used to be, but it still seems really odd that he came back in last week and was cleared to play tonight. And now this happening is the worst-case scenario.

Alps

It's possible that he didn't have a concussion last time but he does this time. He cleared all the tests last time. Therefore despite the grave hit, it wasn't a concussion.

Henry

Shame on the Dolphins for letting Tua play. They could've kept him out of the game as a precaution. The way the Bengals' defense pounded him severely just shows how wrong it was to allow him to continue playing, even if he didn't get a concussion in the last game.
Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go! Hey Chicago, what do you say? The Cubs are gonna win today!

Not really related to the current season. But former NFL and San Diego State TE Gavin Escobar died in a rock climbing accident in Idyllwild. I've hiked on the mountains between Palm Springs and Idyllwild multiple times and it's fairly common to see rock climbers on many of the San Jacinto Mountains steeper faces. Injuries beyond scrapes and the occasional twisted ankle or wrist are rare (most bring along giant cushions), so to hear of two deaths is pretty shocking. Escobar had recently started a post-football career as a firefighter in Long Beach. Very sad to hear.

I wonder how that can happen if you're wearing a harness. Did it break?

Head injuries are football's Achilles heel.

No idea. They've only released what I linked to.

I've given up on predictions for this year after having only five correct predictions for week 3.

Also 5 here. Week 3 was especially weird, even as far as September goes.

Washington at Dallas looks more like Pittsburgh at Dallas.
