Now with NFL football in full swing, fans are starting to see what their teams are really made of.

During a last minute try to win the game versus the Tenessee Titans, the San Diego Charges tried a lateral play that went from bad to worse real fast. The result was Phillip Rivers kicking the ball in an attempt to get it away from the Titans defense. Little did he know kicking the ball away on an offensive play results in a penalty which meant game over.
A rule of thumb in football – make sure the play has ended before celebrating. This Jets defensive lineman has yet to grasp this concept.
The Giants generated only 20 yards of total offense throughout the third quarter. Why do you ask? Maybe because quarterback Eli Manning was sacked six times in the first half of the game, this being one of them.
We don’t know what’s worse, Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford botching the snap or the look of fear on his face knowing the Washington Washington Football Team defense were only seconds away.
Adam Schefter should leave the tossing of the football to his retired counterparts.
Even though the Dallas Cowboys gave the St. Louis Rams that work, wide receiver Dwayne Harris didn’t make things easier when he muffed a punt.
The struggle was real for QB Brian Hoyer on this botched passing play.
The Rams had a gleaming moment of hope during a punt that was returned for a touchdown only to be flagged for this hit.
RG3 doesn’t know how to slide.
Arizona Cardinals safety Rashad Johnson lost the top of his left middle finger during the game. Surprisingly enough he didn’t know until a teammate pointed out his football glove was a blood faucet.
