ANALYSIS/OPINION
The game over here is called football. Unlike the international version, we don’t watch this sport for kicks.
But that’s beside the point.
We watch for long, beautiful passes, like when Washington’s Kirk Cousins hit Pierre Garcon in stride for a 70-yard touchdown Sunday night against Green Bay. We keep an eye out for lengthy, exhilarating runs, like when running back Rob Kelley burst into the secondary and raced downfield on a 66-yard dash. We tune in for the thrill of “fumble!” — like when cornerback Josh Norman executed a patented punchout against Packers tight end Jared Cook.
