Men Whose Job It Is To Hurt Quarterbacks Chided For Being Happy When Quarterback Is Hurt
I get that Lions-Falcons was the closest thing to a matchup of two winning teams yesterday, and that both are likely to be vying for the same limited wild card slots, so we should have expected a competitive game, bordering on the chippy.
