Chatted with #Bills guard O'Cyrus Torrence about the decisive fourth and 5 play. All game, DC Steve Spagnuolo showed this particular pressure. and backed off. Typically sent heat where the Chiefs *weren't* showing it pre-snap. That's why the Bills slid their protection left.

Great breakdown from Logan Ryan on how the Titans shut down Lamar Jackson: "We had 8-, 9-man boxes all night. You play Madden and run Engage Eight all day, it’s hard to run the ball. We pretty much did that." . They also used Bills as a blueprint. Full quote here:

This AM, it doesn’t seem real. Still. I keep thinking of one thing Damar Hamlin said a year ago over wings. “The way I grew up teaches you to cherish everybody in your life because you never know who you’ll lose. You could lose anybody. Everybody I talk to, I say ‘I love you.’”.

Bills outfoxed on the other side of the ball, too. Greg Rousseau said Chiefs ran plays they hadn't seen before. Such as pulling a tackle left & running the QB keeper right in this diamond formation. “I didn’t see that any of the breakdowns I watched."

No. 1 reason the #Packers are 6-2? Brian Gutekunst. The GM who put his ass on the line drafting Love (pissing off the other QB) has made so many moves since March to keep pace in NFCN. Signing Josh Jacobs. Evan Williams 111th overall. Trading for Willis. Dumping Narveson.
