A lot of people are raving about this MNF game. I guess these people do not watch college football. It is a typical week in the Big 12 = 10; all offensive no defense.

There were some key defensive plays as well.

I'm an old fashioned fan of smash mouth football. Run the ball, play stout defense, prosper.

But the league has weaponized penalties to get rid of behavior they don't like. Penalty on almost every kickoff because clearly they want people taking a knee. Penalty on numerous pass defense efforts downfield because they don't want defenders to have a real chance. Holding penalties on a large number of runs.bombs away, QBs! Don't worry about getting hit, there are plenty of new penalties for that now too.

It was a hell of a game but I only watched parts of it. I can’t stand that twittering, slobbering, manic ESPN black guy whose name I forgot. The other two guys are OK. I thing the L.A. stadium was packed. Too bad they didn’t play it in Mexico City. A bullfight at halftime would have been cool.

I live in Southern California and was an avid Rams fan, especially when George Allen was the coach. But I don't even know who won last night's game and don't care.

I'm a college football fan despite the poor performance of my teams. Except for a Mexican team that they beat in the season's opener, the Occidental CollegeTigers lost every subsequent game, mostly by blowout scores. And my other team, the USC Trojans, is about to rack up its worst record since 1957.

Game ruined by Mahomes stupid, adolescent tosses into double/triple coverage when he had plenty of time...the last when they only needed 3 pts to tie. Does Andy Reid really give him free rein? Horrible and unworthy of the NFL.

Silly to call it the game of the century. One team lost by 3 after their supposed MVP quarterback turned the ball over 5 times. (3 interceptions and 2 lost fumbles).

Stopped watching NFL.

Likely the single most exciting football game EVER played. The Rams are mighty AF. Mahomes and Goff are the new Manning and Brady respectively.

JUST WOW.

I really don’t enjoy those kinds of games. I attribute it more to bad defense, than good offense.

Michael Grodsky, spokesperson for William Hill, which has 108 sportsbooks in Nevada, told ESPN the game was a "healthy seven-figure loss" for the book, with 69 percent of customers betting the over.

There will be a quiet word to the Commissioner and this won't happen again.

As a thirty year Chiefs fan I know the agony of a division champ losing game one of the playoffs. One win, ONE STINKING playoff win is all I ask of this year’s Chiefs team.

The famous comedy team of Tessitore, McFarland, and Witten are
are horrible.
Officiating was ridiculous. 30 maybe 40 flags.
Andy Reid teams have a tendency to deflate rapidly after a fast start - want to see how they fare in Pittsburgh or New England in January. I think they will lose two more and be on the road late in the playoffs.
Rams will probably make it to NFC championship game with Saints.
Not a fan of the new rules NFL.
Pro football used to be played by bulls who played like bulls.
Now they play like steers.

I say it now. Neither of these teams will win the super bowl this year. Any good defense will beat them.....Pittsburgh, Chicago, Chargers, Houston.

I thought I was watching Arena Football last night,,...I do not enjoy watching Arena Football.

Keep killing the NFL idiots.
