Short-lived series. Westerns were on their way out. I remember it was a pretty good show, but I was only 12 or so at the time (I think).Used to watch the Rifleman, but never even heard of Branded.
Don't get me wrong; I'm fine with those being the rules. A reward for winning the division is either a bye or a home game? Fine with me. But in real life, the Lions and Vikings are clearly the two best teams in the NFC, and the loser this week will suffer a punishment similar to non-champions in college. I'm just pointing out that the NFL's system doesn't always prevent the exact same type of thing we are complaining about with the college system.
NFC North=SEC
That was a great game last night.
