BOLD PREDICTIONS -DKrom: Commanders defense sacks Brock Purdy six times, intercepts him three times, and forces him to fumble deep in his own territory twice...leading to two scoop-and-scores that are the difference in the game -Hal: Phillip Dorsett throws TD and catches subsequent two-point conversion for Texans...and Christian Kirkey forces a Derrick Henry fumble inside final two minutes to set up game-winning FG 8. CHALLENGE FLAGS -DKrom: NFL officials...THROW A FLAG when there's blatant pass interference REGARDLESS of what moment of the game it occurs -Hal: All 32 NFL owners and Roger Goodell, spend more money on technology to improve instant replay system and hire a single official to handle replays for every game
