**** like that would make me quit football. Too many of those and all of the connections in your head would break.
Part of that is on the QB. Tom Brady has said he would not throw a ball to an open receiver if he saw a defender ready to knock his lights out right after he would catch the ball. A 5 yard gain is not worth the punishment your teammate will take

Wasn’t able to watch the game live very close so catching up via this thread. That was extremely good downfield blocking by Kittle. Love that dude. Totally selfless player which you don’t see much in the NFL

Um, they kinda have to be selfless if they want to play since it's their job.

Kittle's great but downfield blocking isn't some outlier.

Purdy generally does the same thing. It's part of the reason why everyone on the team has his back. That and he helps the Niners win.

Brock has been so dang good today. On the road in a huge game. Man, it's so fun to root for him and he is such an incredible ambassador for ISU!
Really great he didn't mess up first couple of drives when the heat was on. Extremely veteran play on his part, cause the eagle players and their fans where rampit to see Brock fail

Eagles have always been my #1 and Brock is of course our #1 so it was a win for me either way. Glad with how it went as the Eagles still have a healthy record and Brock had an amazing day.
