I suppose Oakland is lighting the torches and heading to Gruden’s house about now… ---

It looks like Minnesota, Washington, and KC can all be happy with their QB changes, at least for a week. ---

On the NBC telecast, they showed the stat that Mack is the first player ever to have a sack, an interception, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and a touchdown, in a single half. He’s going to give the Packers fits for years to come. ---

Any stats on how offer a QB is responsible for a sack and a fumble in the red zone and then an pick 6 in less than a quarter of play. > [@kenobi](#): > > He’s going to give the Packers fits for years to come. He is. He’s the real deal. At least he cost the Bears an arm and a leg. ---

This game reminds me of Chip Kelly’s Philly debut. They blew the doors off Washington and stunned everyone. Fancy, unique formations. Unstoppable drives. Then they slowly let them back into the game and barely won. The insane, dominant offensive start for Chicago seems like a long time ago already. Trubisky needs some work, still. ---
