Cowboys surprisingly competitive but always fall short when it matters.

A lot of the Sunday night, Thursday night, and today's game are in HDR with Dolby Atmos if you have an ATSC 3.0 tuner built-in to your TV and an antenna (my antenna is from the 1970's or 1980's.)

I'm watching today's game (Chargers vs Chiefs) in 1080P and HDR with the Dolby Vision Bright setting, although I think it looks 4K to me. Vivid setting looks like crap on my Sony X90J when it comes to the lettering and information bars at the bottom of the game, I usually keep it on Dolby Vision Bright for football night games.

Last year I am pretty sure I got regular 1080P (no HDR, no Dolby Vision settings) on the day games on CBS and FOX, and HDR 4K for the night games on NBC.

Can't complain for free broadcast TV.

Nice, too bad there is no 3.0 option here yet, PBS will be the first and will start sometime this month. i'm 75 miles away (and in the woods) from the nearest transmission point in the Boston DMA which they have NBC and CBS in 3.0. So i will take what the stations can give via their apps, yesterday's game on youtube at least had 5.1 audio which was nice.

Oh and Rodgers actually looked like the Rodgers of old, color me somewhat shocked. Granted, it was against the Jets. Still a hell of game, though. Clutch FG and clutch hit by Ramsey to put it away. Garrett Wilson probably comes down with that catch if not for that.

After missing the game tying field goal vs Tampa Bay, the Atlanta Falcons bought kicker Younghoe Koo a one way ticket to South Korea.

****in Moody! He needs to get on that plane with Younghoe.

Me whenever he’s set to kick a FG…..

BOSA!!!!

Wasn’t pretty, but it’s a win on the road against a division rival.

god damn that was nerve wracking. like you said, a road win vs a division rival is great but worried about Kittle, Jennings and something has to be done to address Moody. the block wasn't really his fault but was just exacerbated with his earlier miss which was a frickin chip shot

WTF Detroit.

Dominick Puni too, can’t afford to lose any starting offensive linemen (Trent Williams had an issue today, not good). Purdy was under pressure what seemed like the whole game. As for replacing Moody, there has to be someone out there that they can pick up. His problems, whatever they are, don’t seem like they’re going to go away anytime soon if at all.
