QB is a runner in that situation... RB's get shoved out like that ALL THE TIME. It's a BS call.

Was it clearly? Looked in bounds to me! If only FOX had the ability to do replays today...

Vikings have seven penalties in the second half.

Make that 8.

Three on Xavier.

Depends. Euclid would say the Steelers have a much better offense (transitive theory).

He'd be failing to take into account home field (and time zone) advantages though... 8)

I also want to know why it was okay for the guy on the sideline to shove Barr back and for Stafford (along with half of the sideline) to put their hand on Barr.

It was pretty clear to me. FOX did a replay.

Just like last week, no call on the taunt but fined for it.

Depends on your definition, I suppose. He's allowed a lot of passes to Golden Tate.
