Tom Brady's 500th career touchdown pass is also his first touchdown thrown to Josh Gordon.

And a fitting one for both of them. That was spectacular.

Dalvin Cook looking doubtful

Mixon practiced the week before but was held out. You could see that one coming.

From Thursday, it looks like Sony Michel has arrived.

Pat Mahomes comes back to Earth. The Chiefs still win as PM II runs one in and they get their first pick-6 of the season plus three other INTs.

The Butker kid can kick but they kept scoring TDs til today.

Omigod, horrifying loss for the Giants today. To lose on a game-ending 63-yd FG? Cripes.

I think Gano's kick would have been good from 70, maybe more. Looked like it was shot out of a cannon.

Yep, amazing. And this on a day when another reliable kicker, Green Bay's Mason Crosby, missed FOUR FG's and an XP.

Ugh, yeah, as a Packer fan, that was painful. Kudos to Coach McCarthy, though, for sending him out there near the end of the game for a confidence builder.

Some news & notes:
- I'll say it: the Cleveland Browns are a playoff contender. They have a play-making defense with an exciting offense. They still need to get Nick Chubb involved more, but they're a solid kicker away from being 5-0 (or at least 4-1). Baker Mayfield is the real deal and was the right choice at #1.
- Oh, the heartbreak of losing a game on a 63-yard game-ending FG. And OBJ.....please tone down the selfishness, thanks
- Adam Thielen now has the second longest streak of 100-yard games to start a season in NFL history. If the Vikings get Dalvin Cook healthy, watch out.
- Speaking of Thielen, he was a UDFA, and Stefon Diggs was 5th round pick. Kirk Cousins was a 4th rd pick. And there's Laquon Treadwell, taken 23rd overall in 2016.
- Drew Brees will in all likelihood become the NFL's all-time leading passer tonight.
- Isaiah Crowell rushed for the most yards in a game in Jets history, and combined with Bilal Powell's 99 yards and Darnold's 5 yards, dropped a combined 323 rushing yards on the Broncos beleaguered defense.
- Blake Bortles threw 4 INTs.....oh, and still also had 430 yards passing, the 14th 400+ passing yard game of 2018
- Kenny Golladay is emerging as a dominant NFL receiver
- the AFC North may be the toughest division in football
