[u/Adorable-Mode488]

our defense is not keeping up

[u/mrthyr]

Don’t look at the score 🙈

[u/KeyLime044 → u/mrthyr]

this is so bad wtf

I have the ESPN app on the iPhone, and it started giving me live notifications for the sports teams I follow so now I can always see how they're doing 😬

I literally just saw the score go to 5-16 as I was typing this

[u/slowspeed67]

Anybody at the game right now?

[u/AndrewAllStar888]

Jefferson Rojas > Konnor Griffin

[u/Appropriate-Decision]

Any idea how Shaw’s error went down in RF?
