Max Kellerman of ESPN provoked The Football Gods in a manner I haven’t seen since the smiting they put on the Philadelphia Eagles of 2011. The prideful man declared the Thursday Night game between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams “the best game of year”. Hyperbole, perhaps; an understandable mistake, but we’re all human. In his defense, Kellerman was dead-on-balls accurate about the 49ers-Rams being the most entertaining competition of the season. At the time.
Then, The Football Gods stepped in. This may have been the most captivating week of football I can remember in my entire life.
