I heard a rumor that Ben Roethlisberger was washed up and couldn’t throw deep anymore. He looked pretty good on the Steelers’ first drive against the Broncos.
Titans scoop-and-score
The NFL world is wondering how the Titans will bounce back after their embarrassing loss to the Jets last week. They didn’t wait long to score, as star safety Kevin Byard pulled off a scoop-and-score three plays into the game. Credit to the rookie Elijah Molden for laying the lumber.
Rain expected for Bills-Chiefs in K.C.
The weather landscape appears to be rather friendly for Week 5, with little out there to affect things in any of the day games … but that’s not the case for the AFC Championship Game rematch between the Chiefs and Bills on Sunday night.
According to weather.com, scattered thunderstorms will begin around 5 p.m. local time in Kansas City, with the chance for rain steadily building throughout the night. When the game kicks off at 7:20 p.m. CT (8:20 p.m. ET), there’s a 77% chance of rain, and that climbs to an 86% chance an hour later. Those percentages enter the 90s by the time the game reaches the second half.
Fireworks are still expected in the battle between high-powered offenses (the total was at 56.5 as of noon ET, via Caesars Sportsbook). We’ll soon see if the expected wet conditions put a damper on things for Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and the rest of the Bills and Chiefs.
