Tonights game pits the 1-7 Panthers against the 2-7 Bears. I for one am incredibly excited because I believe TNF is about watching bad football.

My favorite TNF game of all time was the WK 14 2013 game pitting an awful Texans squad against my own awful Jaguars. Jaguars would go on to win an incredibly ugly and penalty filled (22 of them) 27-20 with Matt Schaub, Case Keenum, Chad Henne, and MJD putting on a show for a national audience that probably went to bad that night with the same feeling as you would have after going minor league hockey game.

What are some other wonderfully awful TNF Matchups that we can remember?

I will never forget Myles Garrett ripping off Mason Rudolphs helmet and taking a swing at his head with it.

TNF for me in Europe means waking up ten minutes earlier than usual and watching the game highlights on YouTube before I wake up the kids for school. I watched those highlights, and they just ended with some snap. I figured that was the end of it. Woke up the kids, made breakfast, packed their stuff, brought them to school, got back to start working, thought I'd quickly check reddit. 9 of the first 10 posts were about Garrett. This had just not happened in the official NFL highlights. Weird.

He had his "reasons" (Reason: Roid rage)

Garrett was being held by two Steelers players and Rudolph charged at him. After Rudolph twisted his helmet on the ground, kicking off the whole event.

Not sure about all y'all's jobs, but I would get fired for assaulting my coworker on the job.

Edit: Same goes for use of racial slurs.

my favorite part of that was AB tweeting a pic of him Sparta kicking that Browns punter in the face, with the caption “this is for you Mason”

I think it was Spencer Lanning he kicked. He tried to hurdle him but just straight up kicked him in the face instead lmao.

[–] Bobby_Newpooort@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

"Antonio Brown! Hurdles, kicks a man!" without changing his excited tone at all, like kicking somebody in the face is a thing that can happen on any given football play. Amazing call by Ian Eagle

[–] TaquitoPrime@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He tried to hurdle him

He most certainly did not 😂

[–] SoloPorUnBeso@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, it was Spencer Lanning. He was a personal trainer at the gym/facility I worked at. Super nice guy.

Greatest football move I have ever seen. Never should have been a flag. In fact i would go as far as encourging high fly kicks.

[–] Xumayar@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Literally the only thing worth remembering in that game.

[–] hypntyz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Came to post this. And that was the ONLY entertaining part of that game. Rudolph was abysmal and I could never understand why Dobbs was behind him in the rotation for the entire time the Steelers had him.

[–] mccullkh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Hey I was there! It was awesome. Well maybe not Myles actions but that game was lots of fun up to that point

Top 3 moment of my life

[–] gdawg9198@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was at this game with my buddy. Remember this is one of the last plays of the game so people are kind of starting to file out, two girls behind us tap my buddy on the shoulder and ask if one of us can take their picture. My buddy takes their phone, I turn back around to watch........THE play. My buddy takes the picture and turns around to see me watching on in absolute horror. He's like what happened??? Myles just....bashed Rudolph with his own helmet!!! We were both in complete disbelief.

If it makes you feel any better, I missed Nipplegate because I had to pee.

[–] thesoyeroner@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This was the first NFL game I ever went to in person.

What an experience.
