The Twins are gonna win the World Series ...
The Twins have won it!
It's a base hit.
It's a 1-nothing,
10-inning victory!

From ESPN Research: The Packers' 419 yards rushing (59.9 per game) are the second-fewest by any team in the first seven games of a season in the last 35 years.
Only the 2019 Bengals had fewer (372) in their first seven games. That Bengals team finished 2-14.

#Packers C Sean Rhyan, who left Sunday’s game with an ankle injury, is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain, sources say.
X-Rays were negative, and he has an MRI today. But high-ankle sprains are often 4-6 week injuries.

Matt LaFleur said Trey Smack will be the kicker going forward. Still has faith in the rookie because of what he’s seen from him.

Matt LaFleur treaded lightly with the officials but players in the locker room didn’t hold back.
No one more outspoken than Xavier McKinney, who said “it’s kinda fucking up the game.”
“I would rather get fined trying to help my team.”
