I don’t know what roughing the passer looks like anymore 

[jkeerie]

It looked like Stafford got his shoulder stepped on when he was on the ground.

[Straight Hucklebuck]

Stafford’s eyes rolled to the back of his head. 

[Billznut]

Stafford got stepped on at the very end of the hit. And that is where he is acting like he is hurt. Right where the foot landed. 

[Turk71]

Ouch

Late cheap shots on Stafford's head

No call ...

[zow2]

That might be all she wrote for LA.  Unless Wentz decides to ball out.  If Stafford comes back in he’s one tough SOB

[billsfan714]

Stafford is a tough SOB over his career.

Why does Herbert have so many commercials? Like I don't think he's bad, but he hasn't really done anything yet.

Is any hit to the helmet illegal? I've seen so many not called.

Has to be helmet to helmet or leading with the helmet. Players have learned to hit with the shoulder. That hit on Stafford seemed late and could've been called roughing, though.

[Livinginthepast]

These officials are such a joke. The first hit on Stafford is legal but if that was Mahomes it was late but the 2nd hit that slams him down to the ground is way late and dirty. Stafford looked concussed when he hit the ground.

[balln]

Hold on a second. Patty mahommes gets 2 hand touched and he flops down and that’s called RTP.

 

but stafford gets road grated by the second guy and stepped on by the 3rd and no call?

Yeah Detroit has seen him do it, because they never protected him.

The 3rd guy literally cleated him while he was down.

Yesterday Mahomo on 3rd and 15 got barely touched after releasing the ball and got a 15 yarder roughing the passer

[PayDaBill$]

Nasty shot with the forearm CHEAP!!!!

[Kenosha2Buffalo]

I hate that Colinsworth doesn't talk about the second hit at all. He's always been like that

??

 

I don’t think KC getting premier TV slots has to do with having “all of the Midwest” (which I’m not sure is true anyway - bit to the S it’s Cowboys, bit to the NE would prefer Bears, bit to the N it’s Vikes.  

 

KC is “prime time” because teams tend to pick up fans when they win championships and have an admired star player.  The Patriots picked up fans all over when they were winning Superbowls with Tom Brady and he was the league’s darling.  Pat Mahomes has assumed that mantle with 3 Super Bowl appearances and 2 rings, all the ads and attention.  Very popular.  

 

We may not like it, but it “is what it is” until attention turns elsewhere

[Dubie54]

Obvious roughing the passer, particularly the 2nd hit
