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

Google mentions the feature is only available in “select games,” and is disabled by default.

The NFL got what it needed: Sunday. After a week in which the public started to really see what the league is, to get a glimpse of just how slimy its underbelly truly is, it needed Sunday.

They may have even gotten an early start consuming the… Source link
