In 2016, the league average sacks allowed per game was 2.18, so your team must not be very good?
The Cleveland Browns were the only team that had a team average for allowing their QB to be sacked 4 times per game.

How do we know it was about the whole anthem thing? Maybe they just threw the game because they feel bad that the owner turned them into a bunch of carpetbagging money grubbers by agreeing to move to Vegas and abandoning their fans.

The NFL needs owners with balls, fire the SOBs, it is against the NFL's own rules to not stand for the anthem.

Having played football from 8 years old, all the way up through a few years in college, I find this hard to believe.
Individual players I have known over the years have despised one another off the field, but when on it, would do anything to back their teammate.
That said, the political climate is unlike anything I have seen in my 41 years on this planet.....so who knows. So, it would surprise me if true, but not that much.
A backup lineman entered the game and whiffed blocks all over the field. Go read the game summary. If you know the NFL you know the drop off of talent from starters to backups is significant. It's why Kaep will never find a job asking for starter money. He isn't worth it.
If it was a back up lineman getting beat, that isn't surprising. The o-line is meant to function as one cohesive unit. If someone misses assignments or is a step slow, the whole thing could get ugly quick.
See Big Ben getting the crap beat out of him early in his career.

It's when the big guys near the quarterback let the other big guys from the other team
get at the quarterback as he tries to get rid of the ball.
Massive story if true. Hard to prove I would imagine, but you know what they say about throwing mud, throw enough...

If the incidents are genuine then it gives further weight to the puzzle on why whites would want to be involved in any situation where minorities are the majority.
Our ancestors sure got it right with the segregation thing, eh?

Much respect for having the best ‘hot take’ in the thread.
