by Ben Volin via twitter 11/8/2015 5:33:43 PM
Stork getting some warmup snaps at both guard positions. Not on the same play. That would be impressive.

Jonathan Kraft also says Sen. McCain's report mischaracterized the NFL-military relationship. I wrote about it today bostonglobe.com/sports/2015/11…

When did they change the 1-800 cars for kids jingle?

by Jim McBride via twitter 11/8/2015 5:46:35 PM
We're 10 minutes from kickoff and it seems a little ... disinterested in this stadium. Maybe fans are enjoying the tailgate weather.

Great job by the military member singing the national anthem. Her hat flew off in mid-song, and she caught it with her right hand. #america

by Michael Whitmer via twitter 11/8/2015 6:09:08 PM
Dion Lewis drops an easy 33-yard touchdown. He's going to have nightmares about that one. Sun may have been in his eyes
