β˜‘οΈ πŸ“– πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ’» Turn the Ship Around! by L. David Marquet


Wow, fitting that the Rams won on defense. Aaron Donald is a beast. What an ending. Congrats Rams. 🏈


The whole game they’ve let them play, and then they call all those!? That first defensive holding call was total bullshit. I like the Rams, and they are playing well, but the refs bailed them out there. πŸ˜’


What an ending this is shaping up to be! 🏈


What!? 🀯 All three playoff games so far decided by a game-ending field goal!? L.A. should have owned it, but Tom Brady made it a real game in the second half. What an ending! Go Rams! 🏈


Ugh, so painful. Special teams lost us that game. Congrats to the 49ers for sucking less. Crazy that both #1 seeds lost on a last-second field goal. 🏈


Rookie kicker. Second-year quarterback. 1st playoff win in 30 years last week. Headed to division championship game. What a season for the Bengals! 🏈


Yes!! Go Bengals! They controlled almost the whole game. How fitting that an interception led to the field goal for the win. 🏈


Big man touchdown!! Go Chiefs! 🏈


Mike Tomlin: β€œDon’t blink. If you’re a blinker, cut your eyelids off.” πŸˆπŸ˜†


What an incredible ending! Early on, looked like it wasn’t even going to be a game. So sad to end like it did. But congrats 49ers! 🏈 πŸ₯³
