Some of that just looks so un-NFL. A ball carrier running heads up and looking for half gaps to avoid, rather than take, contact.
Some of it is brilliant, hesitates for a split second in the run until a gap appears then accelerates through making fools of the defensive set up.Even when he goes in contact he manages to make an extra few yards like he's covered in pig grease.
Best still for the Broncos is that he's a local boy that must be getting a huge cult following among fans. That equals $.

Definitely. Breath of fresh air.

Adrian Petersen winds back the years for a 90-yard TD run. Smoked everybody
He only had 8 more yds in his other 8 carries.
A good result for the Cowboys.

saw that. He's averaging 4.5 a carry this year though, which compares pretty favourably to his career 4.7

So much for that Jags run defence. Titans RB Derrick Henry has over 240 yards and 4 TDs. Titans cruising to victory, up 30-9.
-
That 99-yarder looked like a High School TD. Running over dudes, around dudes, and then straight up embarrasses two dudes with fends. Incredible run.
The other long TD where he just runs around their entire defense was pretty funny as well

Holy shit check out Miami's miracle last play TD to beat the Evil Empire

Awesome. But those lateral passes are nothing to us ABs fans...

Here is the TD play

@stockcar86 How the hell did he score that? Ridiculous - weak defence from the Pats
-
Interesting day, Rams, Patriots and Texans all go down. Chiefs win by the skin of their teeth.
Steelers down again as well.
-
@mariner4life are the Steelers fucked now m4l?
3 losses in a row. Does the conference system allow for losing teams to play post season? You know like super rugby does for Australian teams
I'm new to the details in NFL but have gained interest listening to Bill Burr

Possible but unusual I think. The draws are even more lopsided than super rugby though.
You play each team in you division twice (home & away); you play each team in one of the other divisions in your own conference (rotates around each season), each team in one of the divisions in the opposite conference (again rotating) and then each team in your conference that had the same finish in your division (so if you finish last in your division you play the teams that finished last in the other divisions).
So you end up playing 13 of the 31 other teams in the NFL in a given season. So you get a situation like the two New York teams who play each other once every four years (in the regular season). It also means that teams who do badly generally get an easier draw the following year, because you play the other divisional losers.
Strength of schedule is also the first (I think) tie breaker (although like super rugby, division winners automatically get seeded higher than wild cards, so it is common to have a wild card finish 10/6 or even 11/5 while a divisional winner is 8/8 or 9/6 but still has home advantage.

Not quite the same tier as that one, but a nice play from Sam Darnold against the Bills where he ran 46 yards side to side before putting a ball into a tiny window for a TD. Furthest a QB has run before a completion for two years.

George Kittle is the new star TE in the NFL - helped the 49ers beat the Broncos 20-14 by racking up 210 yards and a TD which was only five yards short of breaking the record for most yards by a TE in a game (Shannon Sharpe holds the record).
First 49ers TE to also break the 1,000 receiving yards mark too.

Go on a decent run that includes beating the Chargers and the Steelers, then lose to the Niners.... FML
That is a serious day out for any receiving player, let alone a TE (my boy Shannon!)
Did you guys see the two ridiculous passes by Mahomes yesterday? The no-look was incredible, no one does that, and it was right on the money! But that completion scrambling on 3rd-and-nine with the game on the line was unreal. What a player.

Kirk Cousins is now 4-24 vs teams with a winning record.
Vikings are stuck paying him big guaranteed $ for another two years after this.
I think the penny has dropped, he just isn't that good, flatters to deceive

He's decent stats-wise but just isn't a big time QB. In saying that he is better than Case Keenum.
