1. If you’re an NFL fan, you probably can’t recall ever seeing a team punt from an opponent’s 29-yard line, but it happened on Sunday, with the over/under on the line.
The total on the Browns-Raiders game was 36.5. With Cleveland leading 24–10 and 59 seconds left in the game and the Browns facing a fourth-and-2, head coach Kevin Stefanski passed on going for it and passed on kicking the field goal.
Instead, Cleveland punted, killing any chance of the game hitting the over.
Personally, I think the play there is to go for it, get the two yards, and end the game. I don’t think many coaches would kick a field goal there up 14 points. But us gamblers are not rational human beings. We want our wins anyway we can get them. And when we don’t get them, we react like this.

Maybe you have to be a degenerate to truly appreciate this video, but I was howling once he dropped that FBI line.
2. The Cowboys’ Alijah Clark gave us what might be the most impressive play of the NFL season on Sunday.
Also, terrible job by the NFL’s official X account for not even naming Clark in this post. GIVE THE MAN THE CREDIT HE DESERVES!
Long snapper recovered the fumble. Incredible hustle

3. In case you missed it on Saturday, Andrew Luck reacting in real time to a Stanford touchdown was the single best moment of the sports weekend.

4. I know people love Wisconsin’s tradition of having everyone in the stands go crazy during "Jump Around,” but just speaking for myself, I enjoy Oregon and “Shout” much more.
