Revis declined to talk with media after the game. He looked in
considerably better condition after the game as he talked with his
fellow teammates in the locker room.
"Hope they're not expecting Ray Lewis to hold a pity party for them

Thursday night," quipped Ira Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune.
"The Browns have the youngest starting lineup in the NFL at an average age of 24.86 years," he said.
As for the Seahawks game, one league source said, "We get that
it's painful. Even though it's short-term pain, no one likes going
through it." But the thought is that the long-term gain of better
officiating across the board would be worth it.
There are certainly some shadows accompanying the newfound sense
of optimism. The Chiefs still have just one victory, and the team they
finally beat is winless.
Moreover, the Saints remain the only win for the other two teams
to have played them, Carolina and Washington. And they've had to make
do without head coach Sean Payton and with interim coach Joe Vitt, while
weathering the fallout of a bounty scandal that has dominated the news
for months.
Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers called the officiating "awful."
But Tuck knows better after having seen Philadelphia constantly
find a way to make the winning plays time after time. "It is not like we
are licking our chops," Tuck said of facing a beleaguered Eagles
offensive line. "We know that Philadelphia is going to pose a huge
challenge for us."
Before the Seahawks defeated the Packers in one of the most
bizarre and controversial endings in recent memory at CenturyLink Field
Monday night, Edmonton Oilers owner Daryl Katz was conducting his own
personal power play in Seattle, seeking to create leverage against his
current NHL city in negotiations to build a new arena in the Canadian
province of Alberta.
If you went to bed early last night, you will want to watch how
the Green Bay Packers-Seattle Seahawks football game ended. Down five
with the clock turning to zero, Seahawks QB Russell Wilson heaves a
hail-mary pass into the end zone. Several players from both teams go up
for it -- although one Seahawks receiver pretty clearly pushes a Packers
defender to the ground, which should have resulted in an offensive pass
interference call that would have made the ball dead and ended the game
with a Packers victory.

A Packer seems to catch the ball, while a Seahawk quickly grabs hold of
it, so that by the time they hit the ground it appears they both have
possession -- which, according to NFL rules, means that the pass was an
interception, which also would have ended

the game with a Packers victory. Instead, the two refs on the scene
give opposite calls: an immortal moment that you can see in the above
image (the ref on the left is signaling touchback, meaning interception;
the ref on the right is is signaling touchdown). Eventually, the play
is ruled a touchdown. Seahawks win.
Before the deal gets done and we stop talking about this and
start talking about other things (Matthew Stafford's injured again!
Michael Vick might lose the starting job! The Arizona Cardinals are
really good!), a few reflections on Refgate.
The NFL locked out the officials in June after their contract
expired. Unable to reach a new collective bargaining agreement, the
league opened the season with replacements, most with experience only in
lower levels of college football.
Coaches and players began griping about the replacements in the preseason, but the frustration seemed to boil over

And third, the NFL's replacement officials Monday night gave
those same Seahawks a gift victory over the Packers that could loom
large as this season progresses.

were 4-12, and 2010 wasn't expected to be much better. But despite
being underdogs against San Diego, Cleveland and San Francisco, the
Chiefs won all three games en route to a 10-6 season and an unlikely
