Somehow, we get Washington Football Team on Sunday night when the NFL has what amounts to two division title games.

He scored the game’s first touchdown on a red-zone slant from Matthew Stafford en route to a six-catch, 77-yard effort in a 30-23 Rams win. The score marked Beckham’s third straight game with a touchdown… Source link

CC Sabathia wants everyone to just get over it and move on already.
