Indy vs Tennessee tonight!

That draws an exclamation point?

Indy vs. Tennessee tonight?

Indy vs. Tennessee tonight?

I'd prefer some emoticons but I'll take it. I kid but I'm finding it hard to get excited about this one. High probability of this one falling flat IMO

That's the second time in less than a week I've seen a helmeted guy head-butt a helmetless guy and not get ejected. Is that not in the rulebook or something?

First Mike James and now Bobby Rainey killing it on the ground. Makes me wonder what was up with Martin earlier in huge season.

[Judge Jude]

Eagles have already allowed 119 rushing yards by mid-2nd qtr, but who cares? They lead the Redskins, 14-0, and just forced a RGIII fumble on 2nd and goal at the 5 yd line. Foles looks good and the Redskins' secondary is - terrible. As usual.

RUH ROH - LeSean McCoy clutching hammy as Eagles near another TD.....
Ok, he's walking off the field, so don't jump off a building roof just yet
UPDATE: McCoy return is "questionable"

[revo]

What a dumb call by the Lions faking a FG up 27-23. The holder, a rookie, is tapped and fumbles the ball, which could've been disastrous. Now PIT is heading up the field and can take the lead with a TD.

from Bleacher Report:
"Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Jason Babin gives us one of the oddest pictures from the 2013 NFL season. After one play on Sunday, Babin came away with some of Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington's hair."

weirdest stat I woke up to: none of the teams the Chiefs OR the Broncos beat this year had a winning record entering today!

[Erik]

If the Giants win next week they will be one game out of first -- pretty remarkable after starting 0-6.

[joncarlos]

So the Jets, Dolphins, Titans, Raiders, Chargers, Browns and Steelers are all very much alive for a playoff spot? Yeesh

[onejayhawk]

weirdest stat I woke up to: none of the teams the Chiefs OR the Broncos beat this year had a winning record entering today!

Bear in mind that they are the a combined 0-17 against those teams and there is overlap, so Dallas, Philadelphia and Oakland start in a 0-2 hole.
