This is incredible.
Per
@fbgchase
, the Buffalo Bills just dropped the first ever "perfect game" by an NFL offense.
That's...
•0 punts
•0 FG
•0 turnovers (including failed 4th downs)
Hadn't ever been done. Not just in the playoffs. At all. EVER.
No team in NFL history has ever gone an entire game without punting, kicking a field goal, or turning the ball over.
Buffalo hasn't done any of those things through 58 minutes.

Never ceases to amaze when players who were asked... begged, even... to be leaders on a team depart that team, then decry a lack of leadership on their former team.
Andrew Wiggins: "We lost a lot in Minnesota. So coming here, being part of a winning culture, it's different. Losing's never fun. Being here, you can tell by everyone's attitude, approach, everything that's everywhere, they're winners. That's something I've wanted to be."

KJ Osborn hit the ground with :41 left.
Vikings had 1st/10 at the 19 with a timeout.
Sure, an NFL kicker should be solid from 37... but why on earth would you not try to gain a few more yards?
That's awful end-of-game management.
Hindsight and all... but letting the clock run down there on 1st down and a timeout was damn near malpractice.

I could not disagree with this more. This confuses journalism with advertising.
I freely admit home teams winning is good for the local news business... it also makes our job easier.
But it's absolutely not our job to help make it happen or provide hype when it doesn't.
@ChrisLongKSTP
Sports journalism is not the same as political journalism. It really should be about promoting the home team and getting more butts in the seats. More butts in the seats equals more interest in the team which equals more newspapers sold/eyes on screens - It’s a business remember.
