Deshaun Watson tore his ACL in a non-contact drill in practice, such a shame. He was having a brilliant year. Colts place Andrew Luck on IR, no surprise there. We’ve got Bills v Jets tonight, should be a good division game. ---

Seahawks fan here who was of course rooting for the Hawks and cursing out Watson every time he did something that looked impossible (especially for a rookie), but at the same time admiring him. I also watched him win the championship with Clemson. A great player, really fun to watch, and I sincerely think that the NFL suffers not having him in it the rest of the season. He’s the kind of player that will get people to watch more games. I hope he recovers properly and is ready to go next year. ---

Too bad for Watson. I didn’t realize, or maybe forgot, that he had torn his other ACL at Clemson. So at least he knows the recovery process and there is hope he can return to normal. ---

Ertz and Fournette, both ruled out pregame, were started in my league today. Oops. I could use some more action from my Jacksonville DST. I’ve come to expect 25-30 points a week from these guys. ---

Jesus, the normally cool and calm AJ Green gets ejected on a throwaway play at the end of the half along with Jags DB Ramsey. I must admit, AJ Green’s takedowns were pretty damn impressive. Without helmets and gear, Ramsey gets his ass kicked. What a big loss for the Bengals though. And of course, our number 1 pick Ross is inactive for no good reason. ---

I must admit, AJ Green’s takedowns were pretty damn impressive.

CBS Channel 2 in Chicago just cut away from Eagles/Broncos to Ravens/Titans. Nothing is better than watching the Baltimore Ravens lose. ---

Saints continuing to look very good. Best Saints defense, I think, in the Payton/Brees era. Not that that’s saying a lot, but considering they won a Super Bowl, won their division twice, and made the playoffs a few more times with not-so-great defenses, a good defense could make them pretty special. ---

> [@eschereal](#): > > And … they pull it off :smack: That last bomb that the Redskins made before their last touchdown seemed nearly impossible to defend. It was crazy good. Blair Walsh was 0/3 on field goals. In a game where you lose by 3 that’s pretty bad. ---

Walsh: 12 of 16, long 49, 17 PATs of 18 Hauschka: 16 of 18, long 56, 18 PATs of 18 Seattle probably should not have let him shuffle off to where ever.
