Not everyone is thankful for higher scoring games
Tuesday’s PFT Live simulcast began with Peter King providing his big takeaway from Monday night’s epic game between the Chiefs and Rams: “Football has changed.” Indeed it has.

Washington has had bad luck with quarterback decisions
When it comes to making quarterback decisions, Daniel Snyder’s football team has made a run of bad decisions for most of this decade. It started on Easter Sunday in 2010, when Washington surrendered a second-round pick to the Eagles for a washed-up Donovan McNabb. Two years later, Washington surrendered three first-round picks and a second-round [more]
Cowboys’ opponents haven’t had holding penalty on pass play since Week 2
The Cowboys rank seventh in the NFL in sacks per pass play, and somehow their pass rushers aren’t getting held. Or more accurately, they are not getting caught.

Lions sign Don Carey
If Don Carey had any plans for Thanksgiving dinner, he’s going to be calling to cancel them. The Lions announced that they have signed Carey to their 53-man roster.

Rams survived a questionable approach to potential clock-killing drive
Here’s another intriguing development from Monday night’s remarkable game between the Chiefs and Rams that easily became overlooked in the flurry of activity in a frenetic fourth quarter.
