Week 7 NFL Thread: Parity aplenty

Watching Prescott pick apart their defense, how did the 49ers even keep any of their games close?
 
As usual, the Steelers are proving to be the dumbest team in football. Fourth-and-goal and the Bengals go play action, so of course nobody covered the tight end. I don't know why any team ever kicks a field goal or punts on a fourth-and-one against this team. They fall for it every single time.

The same defense that shut down the Chiefs last week can't even slow the Bengals down. Game tied, 14-14, in the second quarter.

Honestly, I don't know why every team doesn't run that play at least once in that situation. As long as you don't completely botch it, the play action pass to the tight end is almost impossible to stop.
 
Only Fox would spend time talking about the halftime ceremony for Dwight Clark, then NOT televise a second of it. Weak sauce.

Gawd, the Niners suck.
 
The Steelers are finding ways to keep the Bengals in this game. They settled for field goals on four consecutive drives, though the last one was aided greatly by the officials. Jackson, the Bengals' rookie corner, grabbed Brown's arm before the ball arrived on a deep ball to the end zone on third down and got away with it. Pittsburgh leads, 26-14, in the third quarter.
 
Most entertaining thing about the rest of the Cowboys-Niners game might be the PATs. Dan Bailey got hurt, so the Cowboys have safety Jeff Heath kicking. He just banged a PAT off the upright and in.

33-3 in the fourth quarter and QB1 throws a touchdown pass to WR1. Have some pride, Niner defense.

And the Bengals have stopped the Steelers on third-and-one three times and fourth-and-one once. They had two runs that were stuffed and two deep throws that were incomplete.
 
The Seahawks just put the game away with one of the best scoring drives I have seen in a very long time.
