Jacksonville Jaguars move to 8-4 record on the season with another big win this week. Unimportant people gape in slack-jawed amazement. Many have asked me, "How did we get here?" Well it all started right where you would think—in Week 1. That's when the Jaguars scored a big win over Carolina Panthers, holding Panthers star Rico Dowdle to only 12 yards of rushing. Ever since then the Jaguars have been on a rocket ship to the moon. Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle remains trapped in his humdrum life, each new day a disquieting echo of the last.
"Hi, Mr. Dowdle?"
"Hi, I'm Mr. Dowdle. You can call me Rico. Rico Dowdle."
"Welcome Rico. Or Mr. Dowdle, haha."
"Haha. Either is fine. Rico, or Mr. Dowdle. Rico Dowdle."

George Best was once the only man from Northern Ireland to make a stir kicking a ball in America. But now the NFL is rife with Irish kickers. Last season Jude McAtamney hit a FG for the Giants. (It went less well for him this year.) And on Sunday Charlie Smyth joined him with a successful kick of his own, joining Neil O’Donoghue in the growing fraternity of Irish-born NFL kickers.
Smyth was previously just another guy in the booth at Super Bowl 59. During a break, announcers on the UK Sky Sports broadcast brought him in for a chat. They introduced him as a member of the New Orleans Saints—he’d spent the year on their practice squad, and signed a futures contract for the following season—and “a big fan of the NFL.”

I didn't consider the possibility of failure enough when I was developing this show. For the last episode of the season I was supposed to have a conversation with Ronald Young Jr., he had been wanting to spend time learning piano and do a small show for his loved ones. But the week I was supposed to record with Ronald he emailed me to admit that he hadn't learned the song on piano, he never had the recital we'd agreed he'd do, and he wasn't ready to record with me.
I freaked out for a few hours. I knew I still had to deliver an episode, and I had no idea what to do. I considered spinning up a new episode with myself as the test subject; "Could I learn to play football in like three weeks?" But after sleeping on it, I decided to ask Ronald if he'd be willing to chat with me anyway — but this time, about failure.

Try as he did, Aaron Rodgers was not able to avoid having his own Brett Favre Moment. Any 41-year-old quarterback with decreasing mobility takes a big risk by participating in an NFL game, and on Sunday Rodgers's age caught up with him all at once.
The Steelers were nursing a 7–3 lead as the second half of their game against Buffalo got underway, and the plug was pulled after one play. Rodgers, playing with a broken left wrist that kept him out of the previous game, fumbled the ball after getting blind-side smashed by Joey Bosa on the Steelers' first snap of the half, and the Bills took a 10–7 lead when Christian Benford scooped up the loose ball and returned it for a touchdown. While the Steelers were losing the lead for good, Rodgers was reeling on the turf, blood dripping from the bridge of his nose.
