MLB is still under a lockout, and in the meantime, MLB players are keeping busy with other various activities. On Sunday, in an NFL game, the Los Angeles Rams defeated the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers and knocked them out of the playoffs. This game was for the ages and one of the wildest in recent times, Matthew Stafford’s Rams crushed Tom Brady’s Bucs 30-27 at the Raymond James Stadium.
On the other hand, Kansas City Chiefs beat Buffalo Bills 42-36 on Sunday night in a sizzling fashion to secure their place in championship games. This match went into overtime to decide the winner. And Atlanta Braves pitcher Tyler Matzek did not enjoy the Bills’ defeat and was not happy with the result. Matzek took his Twitter account to show his disappointment and criticized the controversial overtime rule of the NFL. He said that NFL overtime rules might be the worst in sports.
“NFL OT rules might be the worst in sports. Basically comes down to a coin flip. With that said, might have been the most amazing week of NFL football ever,” said Tyler Matzek.
