It's time for Kickoff with Boomer Esiason and Mike Valenti. We have absolutely no time to waste. Tons of games. It's chaos. It's Thursday night. It's Boomer up past his bedtime. Booms, what's going on? Hey, Mike, Week 16 got off to an unbelievable start. What a great football game in Seattle, and what a weird way for the Seattle Seahawks to win. Yeah, look, I still come out of the game with a couple of takes. We can kind of pick this apart. 38-37 in overtime, I still think the Rams are the better team, and I still think Sam Darnold stinks. So which one do you want to go with first? Because I know those are both counterintuitive considering Seattle won, and you see Darnold complete the two-point play to win a game.
I just walk away from it, multiple INTs. You needed a punt touchdown. You can explain the ref call on the two-point conversion because I got up to refill my water, and all of a sudden I'm back. Wait a minute. What do you mean it's a two-pointer? And then I have a Darnold stat for you, but what were your takeaways last night? All right, so first of all, I'm not going to go, Sam Darnold stinks. I'm not going to say that. I'm going to say, you know, he brought his team back 16 points down nine minutes ago in the game. That tells me something. You know, that was really good for him. I felt good for him because I wasn't feeling good for him during the game. But the fact that he was able to win, they are the number one seed right now.
They've got a little tougher schedule the next two weeks as opposed to the Rams, so that may flip. But I've got to feel good for Sam this morning. As far as the officiating is concerned, yeah, you know, it is really tough for us as NFL fans and players and ex-players when we sit there and we watch and the teams are lining up, they're getting ready to receive a kickoff, and all of a sudden the game is stopped. And it's stopped by a group of people in New York that are looking at something. And there are nuances within the rules. And, no, you cannot advance a fumble down for a two-point play. You know, it's the old holy roller rule that you can't do that. So this is not ruled a fumble. It's actually ruled a loose ball.
And in that case, as long as the whistle doesn't blow, the play can continue.
