The Bears had taken the lead with 1:46 left in the fourth quarter on a 16-yard strike from Justin Fields to Darnell Mooney, but Ben Roethlisberger led Pittsburgh to a seven-play, 52-yard drive to set up a 40-yard field goal by Chris Boswell to give the Steelers the lead. “I just think that was incredibly inappropriate."įellow defender Roquan Smith said of the penalty on Marsh: “I thought it was a BS call."Ĭhicago kicker Cairo Santos came up just a few yards short on a potential 65-yard game winning field goal at the end of the fourth quarter and the Steelers held on for a 29-27 victory in the Week 9 “Monday Night Football” game.

The Pick: Sony Michel OVER 60.Referee Tony Corrente spoke to a pool reporter after the game about a series of questionable calls during the game. I expect another big day from the 26-year-old – he should fly OVER this total. Michel has been a big factor in the Rams’ success since taking over the starting role, with the team winning five of its last six games. In last week’s 38-30 loss to the Seahawks, they gave up over 200 yards on the ground. The Cardinals have struggled to stop the run this season, ranking 20th in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game (114.8). Michel has been the lead back for the Rams since Week 13, averaging 90 yards per game over that stretch, and has playoff experience from his days in New England. Los Angeles Rams running back Sony Michel has flown under the radar in the second half of the season. The Pick: Kyler Murray OVER 254.5 Passing Yards -114 MNF Prop Bet #2: Sony Michel Rushing Yards Murray should throw the ball a fair bit in this one, which is why I believe he will go OVER this total. The Cardinals passing attack hasn’t been as good as it was early in the season but it is certainly a threat to opposing defenses, ranking 10th in the NFL in passing yards per game (251.5). In last week’s contest against the run-heavy 49ers, the Rams gave up 340 passing yards to Jimmy Garoppolo and company. The Rams rank 22nd in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game (241.7). You may think that because the Rams have Jalen Ramsey and Darious Williams, they shut down opposing passing games, but that is not necessarily the case. I expect a similar output Monday night in what should be a high-scoring affair. In two meetings with the Rams this season, he threw for 268 and 383 yards while averaging 40.5 attempts. He hasn’t thrown an interception since Week 15 against the Lions and had the Cardinals within striking distance in each of those games.
