I watched football on Sunday, and now I’m gonna talk about it like I actually know a thing or two (spoiler: I don’t — but the vibes usually tell me everything I need to know). The only two games I paid enough attention to to really comment on were the Colts vs. the Titans, and the Packers vs. the Browns. And wow — what a difference between the two.
Picture this: I’m sitting on the couch with my family, staring at two massive 100-inch TVs mounted on the wall (shout-out to my father-in-law — movie nights and game days hit different). One screen is locked in on the Colts game (that’s our team, man), and the other is showing four games at once — one of them being the Browns.
You know those games where it’s pretty obvious who’s going to win based on the score, but you keep watching anyway in case something wild happens? That was the Colts game. And honestly? Compared to the previous week, it was a huge relief. A nice, laid-back viewing experience — just vibes and touchdowns. Colts fans were chillin’. And hey — turns out, this is the first time the Colts have started 3-0 since 2009, which feels like a pretty big deal.
Meanwhile, the other screen was pure chaos. And if you can look me in the face and say you knew the Browns were going to win after deflecting that field goal and sinking their own in the final seconds — I’d ask you for lottery numbers, because clearly, you have a gift. That 55-yarder from Andre Szmyt? Insane. For most of the game, it felt like the Packers had it locked, but the Browns came charging in like a wrecking ball in the fourth quarter. It was wild. I swear I heard the spirit of Cleveland itself cheering from the sky.
Honestly? Which kind of game is “better” totally depends on your mood (or let’s be real — your emotional capacity that day). A nail-biter is stressful and makes you eat your feelings, but the win hits different. Other times, you just want your team to dominate early so you can go fold laundry in peace. Either way, football has a way of bringing people together for yelling, stress-eating, and some seriously good times.
