"Electric atmosphere tonight." -- Tweet from SF 49ers team president Jed York, as SF won 20-3 in a Monday night game that was twice delayed by power outagesDaily blurb
When the lights went out before last night’s NFL game, my immediate thought was “How are we going to handle the RIFC playoffs if this game has to be postponed?” Fortunately, that potential calamity was averted. Not so fortunate for the Steelers, though, who apparently could have used some extra rest for Ben .

With the NFL upsets this week, Football Pickoff results were understandably low, with only 30% of slates producing positive scores. Congrats to erb136, who posted the top score of +553, getting both the Green Bay and Indy games correct, and doubling Washington over the Giants. Remarkably, the Random Dart continued its forward surge, posting another positive score in spite of its misfortune in picking Green Bay.
