Jamie Collins Is A Freak
The most noteworthy play of Sunday night’s Patriots-Colts game was Indy’s trick play that never should have been snapped, but it’s also worth taking a second to marvel at Jamie Collins clearing the Colts’ line to block an extra point attempt.

NFL Continues To Not Have A Clear Idea Of What A Catch Is
