Welcome back everyone! What an insane week 3. Some players were extremely lucky. Others were extremely unlucky.
The Rams lined up for a short field goal to put away the Eagles in Philadelphia with time running out. The kick was blocked and returned for a touchdown to save the day for the Eagles. It also saved Calvin. Whew!
In Tampa, the lowly Jets staged a comeback by blocking a 43-yard field goal and scoring with 1:49 left in the game. But that was too much time on the clock and Tampa came back to try another field goal and won 29-27 as time expired. Mary and all the Sherburnes breathed a sigh of relief.
In the first two weeks, the Packers looked like the best team in football beating the Lions and Commanders handily. But somehow the tables turned in Cleveland. The Browns hung around all afternoon and finally tied the game late. They then closed it out with a 55-yd field goal to win 13-10 and send the Packers home with a loss. Unfortunately, this also sent Adam packing with his second strike. It goes to show, there is no such thing as a safe pick in this pool.
Remember the happy couple who celebrated their wedding last weekend? The football honeymoon is over as somehow both Jim and Gerri took a strike this week. Insanity!
We have now lost 4 competitors, with 16 still alive.
Week 4 is around the corner. Send in those picks. If you want to pick the Thursday game, get your pick in before kickoff (and don’t forget to hit SEND!). Otherwise, picks are due before you go to sleep on Friday.
And finally, here’s a fun photo of some of the Nemmers siblings at a recent wedding in LeMars, Iowa. Left to right is Louise, Mary, cousin Kate, Bill and Whoosie (Virginia). Everyone is so smiley!
