Four days after playing 79 snaps against the Vikings, Roquan Smith is ready to go again Thursday night against the Commanders at Soldier Field.
“I love it,” Smith said. “It’s national TV — so if the body hurts a little bit, you’ve got a lot more eyes on you, so you can show what you can do.”
While baseball is America’s pastime, football is America’s addiction. And Thursday Night Football is another great example of that distinction. Playing on three days rest doesn’t seem like a good idea for a sport that has become more unsafe to play than ever.
