Hey you! Yes, you!
I know you aren’t doing a damn thing right now — none of us are. We’re all twiddling our thumbs while we wait for it to be safe to go outside
Luckily, the NFL gave everyone free access to their NFL Game Pass service until May 31 for North American users and until July 31 for everyone else. NFL Game Pass has every game going back to the 2009 season for you to watch.
NFL Game Pass not only has the original broadcast, they also post condensed versions of the games that take anywhere from 35-50 minutes to watch and the coaches tape that NFL teams receive following the games.
Whether you’re just looking to pass the time with a couple games or want to break down the game film like a pro, here are five games to watch that will keep you entertained — at least for a little while.
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles Rams, 2018, Week 11
The Chiefs matchup against the Rams from two seasons ago is one of the best Monday Night Football games in the history of the program. This game had everything. Offensive touchdowns, defensive touchdowns, two of the best playcallers in the league and a field littered with elite talent.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who was in his first season as a starter, threw six touchdowns to three interceptions in a wild 54-51 loss.
Denver Broncos vs. Dallas Cowboys, 2013, Week 5
The 2013 duel between Peyton Manning and Tony Romo was one of the most entertaining regular season games of all time. Manning and Romo combined for nine passing touchdowns and 920 passing yards on their way to a 51-48 shootout.
Both quarterbacks were outstanding, but Romo had a truly epic performance. Romo threw for 506 yards, five touchdowns, and an interception on just 36 attempts. At the time, Romo was blamed for the loss because his interception came with two minutes left in the game.
If you go and watch for yourself, you can see exactly how lazy that analysis was.
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington, 2010, Week 10
Michael Vick’s breakout game with the Eagles was a moment to remember forever.
On the first play of the Eagles Week 10 game against Washington, Vick launched an 88-yard touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson and the rout was immediately on. Vick threw four touchdowns, ran two more in, and led the Eagles to a 59-28 win on primetime.
