That said, the value is on the Under as we're in the midst of OTAs." Following the 2012 season season, the NFL implemented a one-helmet rule, which meant that teams had to stick with one helmet color for the entire season. According to the Falcons, the helmet's color scheme was designed to represent the two major colleges in the state: Georgia Tech and the University of Georgia. Also, the top 10 is going to have a drastically different look next season since four of the players on the list won't be eligible in 2023 due to their age (Jackson, Murray, Alexander and Burrow). The red helmets will be worn as part of a throwback uniform for the Falcons' Week 6 game against the San Francisco 49ers. The team announced on Wednesday night that the iconic helmets will be returning for one game in 2022. With the two teams tied on the final hole, Rodgers needed to sink a 15-foot putt for the win and that's exactly what he did and thePackersQB knew the ball was going in almost as soon as he hit it (You can click here to see the dramatic shot). Rodgers had a pretty solid day. If you look at rosters around the NFL -- and totally ignore the fact that Brady exists -- you'll notice that for the most part, football is a young man's game. Not only did he get a birdie on the first hole, but he also birdied the final hole, which allowed Brady and Rodgers to win. - Patrick Mahomes was on fire thanks to Coors Light. Although Mahomes got off to a slow start, he eventually caught fire and pulled his team back into the match. Under the rules of the match, both players on each team would hit their tee shots before selecting the best drive to use for their second shot. - Jason Garrett fondly remembers Barber. The former Cowboys coach served as Dallas' offensive coordinator for four of Barber's six years with the team (2007-10) and he was devastated to hear of Barber's death.
