Am I the only one who thought the Chiefs/Rams game wasn’t that great? Defense anyone?

Well there was multiple defensive touchdowns. What I dont understand are the talking heads crediting the offenses for the points scored on defense. Turn the ball over 5 times including a defensive TD and the Saints could score 80. They used to discount Brees's stats because the defense turned every game into shootout but I have yet to hear that about Mahomes's stats. I dont even know how Mahomes can be in the MVP discussion when he has 10 times as many turnovers as Brees and had 5 in arguably the Chiefs biggest game of the year.
 
Is there a more disappointing team than the Falcons? Tonight was a complete disaster. Bad coaching and turnovers happening all around and nobody was immune.
 
The defense ended last season playing pretty well. Thought they began terrible this season and then have strung together solid games in a row and are playing at a level I expected them too. Just hand them the Lombardi trophy now.
 
The offense is at an all time great level. Averaging 3.8 points per offensive drive. They score on 62% of their drives. Michael Thomas is catching 90% of his targets. All records by a mile if they hold up. Also they are 11 for 12 on 4th down. Thats probably some kind of record pace too.
 
And now a bogus DPI call in the end zone. It’s really clear how the NFL wants Dallas to be relevant again.
 
Saints lost to the Cowboys in 2009 when they were 10-0 so not reading too much into this loss. Saints defense played very well again which bodes very well going forward.
 
That was the worst officiated game this season that I have seen. So many missed calls and then the NCAA basketball -esque makeup calls later on.
 
League showing their hand a little early on who they want to make the Super Bowl. Can go ahead and assume Dallas ends up there.
 
I think it works out as a positive for the Saints to get punched in the mouth like this. They won the last 5 games by an average of 22 points. Might have gotten complacent. Even with the loss I am so excited about the Saints D. I think they had like 8 sacks. Continued handling the run game well. No points allowed in the second half. Cam Jordan got the clutch sack fumble that gave the Saints a chance to win. 95 out of 100 games the Saints win if the opponet scores less than 15.
