Rivera before storming off:

"Everyone keeps wanting to say that I don't want anything to do with Carson. Bullshit. I'm the fucking guy that looked at the analytics, that watched the tape... That's what pissed me off 'cuz the young man doesn't deserve to have that all the time."

Never have I ever in my 40 years of watching this game seen a team with 2 12 men on the field calls and one call with 10 on. Jack didn't bring his abacus
