Honoring a legend

A day after the Lions unveiled their statue of Hall of Famer Barry Sanders, Amon-Ra St. Brown wore a special jersey commemorating the Lions legend as he arrived for Sunday’s game.

55 ski masks, 55 burgers, 55 points?

“I Think You Should Leave” star Tim Robinson was on hand to cheer on his Lions on Sunday, along with fellow actor Sam Richardson, who brought a ski mask at the direction of CJ Gardner-Johnson.

“I’m talking to America here, excuse me.”

Geno Smith thought he had avoided an intentional grounding on a play early in the fourth quarter, but the Seahawks QB couldn’t avoid the penalty.

So Smith turned to the referee to express his displeasure with the call, while the referee was on the microphone delivering a message to Smith for everyone to hear.

Bengals face boo birds

While Cincinnati struggled mightily in the first three quarters, Bengals fans expressed their disappointment and booed the offense as the unit did not score a touchdown until late in the third quarter. Joe Burrow had just 84 passing yards before the team’s first touchdown drive.

Donovan Smith is open!

After the Chiefs’ receivers struggled in their season-opening loss last week, Patrick Mahomes decided to throw the ball to a new receiver in Week 2, hitting left tackle Donovan Smith for the completion. Of course, the play didn’t count because you can’t throw the ball to an offensive lineman.

Dressed for National Hispanic Heritage Month

Offensive lineman 2-point conversion

The Chargers opted for two rather than settling for just an extra point after scoring a touchdown in the first quarter that gave them a 9-0 lead. But they had chosen a trick when Justin Herbert threw a pass to a wide-open Trey Pipkins, who plays on the Titans’ offensive line.

The play garnered a lot of attention on social media, including FOX Sports’ and former NFL offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz, who dubbed the play “ThiccTwo.”
