Sunday’s NFL action had a little bit of everything, including a first for my eyes – a player taking a ride on the cart so he could get to the bathroom as quickly as possible.
Seriously! That happened! Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf first scared Seattle fans when he was seen being carted off in the second half. But then we quickly found out he just needed a ride to the bathroom and was soon back on the field.
Talk about a pro move right there. All I can do is applaud the man for making the right call – when you gotta go you gotta go and if you’re a football player you don’t want to go in front of all those fans.
OK, yes. This is a weird way to start our weekly NFL awards. So let’s get to it!
The best job of getting to the bathroom as quickly as possible: DK Metcalf.
Again, this was a legendary move:

He later admitted the ride was super necessary:
That clinch walk wouldn’t have made it 😂 https://t.co/tYvaWQSaa6

The bathroom was far away!
As one NFL staffer passed along, the distance from the visitors' sideline to the visitors' locker room at Ford Field is very likely the longest such trek in the league.
DK played it smart using the cart.

The worst job of winning of your home fans: Baker Mayfield.
Mayfield and the Panthers had another rough day as they lost at home to the Cardinals to fall to 1-3. The QB heard a lot of boos after this late play:

The worst job of trying to get a first down on 4th and inches: This play by the Cardinals.
This didn’t go well at all!
The #Cardinals gave gone for it on 4th down more times this season than they've punted.
This is this what happened on their last 4th down.pic.twitter.com/F0xjwn9q0Q

The saddest end to a game: Whatever this was in the Giants-Bears game.
This was ugly.
The best play for the #Bears against the #Giants was this lateral play at the end of the game 😂pic.twitter.com/ARe0XzD2sg

The worst job of protecting the football: Trevor Lawrence.
The Jags hung with the Eagles on Sunday even though Lawrence couldn’t hold on to the ball.

Best job of by a RB playing QB: Saquon Barkley.
The Giants had some banged up QBs during Sunday’s win so they had Barkley step in and it went pretty well.

The best postgame hugs: These between Doug Pederson and his former players in Philly.
The Eagles got the best of their former coach on Sunday and then shared some special moments with him afterwards.
This was pretty great:
