What a play by Stroud. If it was the other guy they'd be saying that's the next Mahomes.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

CJ Stroud is a good quarterback.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Very surprised they are kicking FG

FG good

13-3

With the weapons he had at OSU you expected more out of him in college.

Very surprised they are kicking FG

FG good

13-3

Defensive HC are typically more conservative. Prefer to take the points.

So if they had challenged the spot of the ball rather than whether or not it was a first down they would've won the challenge? Not a first down either way but it'd be a win. I don't get that.

If you challenge the spot, I guess you gotta tell them where you think it is.

Oh, okay. I was wondering why anyone would challenge first down over spot if not for that.

 

[RedRocking]

No, I don’t think you can just challenge the spot anytime. It has to be something where you get a reversal (like a conversion - not sure what else would count).

If you're 2 or 3 yards off on the spot, that changes your playcall

 

[GKJ]

Not ideal to have a false start coming out of a time out

 

[Avs_19]

Funniest thing I've seen on twitter today.

Yea, but you can’t “win” a challenge unless a call is overturned - like at the goal line, line of gain, or whether someone stepped out of bounds.

Otherwise, what’s the standard? 1 yard, 2? 6 inches?

If you challenge for 2 yards, and you're right, then you're right. It's just very difficult, which is why you don't try to pinpoint it, just say you made the line to gain. Spots are almost never worth the challenge.

 

[GKJ]

Bears need to try and take a deep shot and stretch out the Texans defense.

Of course they're within the 30, so it's hard to go very deep, but there's not much happening beyond 10 yards

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Clear penalty

 

[SnS]

Another week. Another week of Bryce Young committing a crime.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Williams runs it to the 2

Herbert TD!!!!

 

[GKJ]

Bears touchdown, set up trying to go downfield and draw the pass interference

 

[Teemu]

Damn, nice catch

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Bears about to lose another challenge

 

[red devil]

Bears about to lose another challenge

Final 2 minutes so the Bears didn't challenge

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Fairbairn makes 59 yd FG

16-10 Texans at half

 

[red devil]

Fairbairn good from 59
