WATCH: Washington State QB Luke Falk Connects With Gabe Marks For Go-Ahead Score With 3 Seconds Left

After the Bruins were able to take the lead with a little over a minute left UCLA fans likely thought it was safe to start celebrating, but Washington State quarterback Luke Falk has had a knack for making fourth quarter comebacks. With the way the Cougars pass the ball it would not be impossible for them to do it again.

Sure enough--they did. With three seconds to go Falk connected with Gabe Marks for a game winning 21-yard touchdown pass.

WATCH: UCLA QB Josh Rosen Takes Off On 60-Yard Touchdown Run To Give UCLA A Late Lead

Josh Rosen is not known for being a runner. In fact, heading in to Saturday night's game against Washington State he only had 22 official carries for -28 yards. So it is probably safe to say that the Washington State defenders were not expecting him to take off and run. So when he did it had to be a little shocking--especially since no  one tackled him and he was able to make it 60 yards for the go-ahead touchdown.

The two point conversion gave UCLA a three point lead at the time:

WATCH: Uriah Hall And Robert Whitaker Put On A Good Show At #UFC193

Holly Holm won the night with a surprising upset knockout of Ronda Rousey, but the ladies were not the only entertaining match of the night. The card was full of them actually. Uriah Hall and Robert Whitaker put on a pretty good show in their fight. It ended up going to the judges (yuck), but they actually got it right.

Hall put up a good fight, but Whitaker deserved to take this one:

Holly Holm Credits Her Coaches After Upset Win--And It's Not Hard To See Why [VIDEO]

Holly Holm did the unbelievable Saturday night and defeated Ronda Rousey in dominant fashion with a knockout in the second round. Afterwards she gave credit where it was due--to her coaches. Not that she doesn't deserve plenty of the credit herself for forcing Ronda to fight her fight, but her coaches helped her figure out how to do it.

How else do you explain her being able to escape Rousey so easily here?

She did it. She knocked out the champ--excuse me, former champ. It wasn't some long drawn out fight that went to the judges. Holly Holm flat out dominated Ronda Rousey. I can only imagine how she is going to celebrate this win.

A back flip in the ring is a start:

It had to happen eventually. No one can stay undefeated forever, and so it happens to Ronda Rousey. When the fight lasted more than a round you had to know something was up, and sure enough it was. Holm took care of business and defeated the mighty Rousey.

It looks like she busted her nose open with this blow:

#UFC193: Joanna Jędrzejczyk Lands Kick To The Face Of Valérie Létourneau; Wins Via Unanimous Decision

Fans at and watching UFC 193 at home are being treated to a pair of championship fights. First--Joanna Jędrzejczyk defended her strawweight belt against Valérie Létourneau. She ended up being successful in the defense winning the fight via unanimous decision over Létourneau, but it was not an easy fight.

Most people would have been done after taking a kick like this to face, but Létourneau was able to keep going and make Jędrzejczyk earn the win:

#UFC193: Mark Hunt Drops Bigfoot Silva For The First Round TKO

If you have not watched Mark Hunt before you have missed a guy that can throw some seriously heavy blows. Prior to Saturday night's fight with Bigfoot Silva six of his ten wins had come by KO or TKO via punches. After his fight against Silva you can make it seven of his 11 wins.

When you can make a big man like Silva crumble like he does here you have to be throwing some seriously heavy blows:

Pat Mahomes is a good quarterback so I can understand why Kliff Kingsbury is starting him, but why on Earth did he let Baker Mayfield walk? A guy with the game that he has is the kind of player you find a scholarship for just to keep him from playing for someone else--but Kingsbury didn't.

So Mayfield is going to make magic happen for the Sooners like he does here:

If you are going to do it at least don't get caught being told to go down by another player.

#UFC193: Jake Mathews Wins By TKO After Seriously Messing Up Akbarh Arreola's Eye

Jake Mathews is a relative new comer to the UFC having only nine fights under his belt prior to Saturday's fight in Australia against Akbarh  Arreola as part of the UFC 193 card. So when you are a youngster like he is every fight counts and you need to take every chance possible to make an impression on people.

He certainly made an impression on Arreola's eye. He beat on it so bad that the doctor had to call the fight:

They got one from the largest player on the field--400+ pound tight end LaQuan McGowan.

Does anyone else really want to see him catch one around midfield so we can guys try to tackle him?

Oklahoma DL Matt Dimon Ejected For Kicking Baylor Player; Keeps It 'Classy' With Baylor Fans [VIDEO]

Football can be a pretty intense game. It doesn't matter if you are playing on Sundays and getting paid millions, on Saturdays in front of 100,000 people, under the Friday night lights, or just in the neighborhood with your friends. People get into it and will sometimes do things in the heat of the moment they know better than to do.

That is what happened to Oklahoma defensive lineman Matt Dimon Saturday night against Baylor. After getting knocked on his can he decided to kick one of the Baylor players so he was ejected. On the way off the field he made his parents proud by having a few choice words with the Baylor fans:

Former Mississippi State FB Player Tim Bailey Returns From Active Duty To Surprise Family Prior To Alabama Game [VIDEO]

We don't see too many videos of soldiers reuniting with family members anymore, and that is just a darn shame. Soldiers deserve to have those moments with their families. One soldier got to have that moment with his family prior to the Mississippi State-Alabama game.

His name is Tim Bailey and he is a former Mississippi State football player. It looks like they have a hard time getting the family in the right position (so they can't see him coming), but it is pretty clear when he hits the field:

However, the Wolverines were able to respond with a touchdown drive of their own to tie the game up and force overtime.

Iowa State has been playing well lately. They haven't been able to win too many games, but they have certainly been able to make some good teams sweat pretty hard. The Cyclones certainly made the Cowboys work for it Saturday. At one point Iowa State led the Cowboys 24-7, but the Cowboys were not going to lie down.

They battled back to take a 35-31 lead with three minutes to go, and held to on to stay undefeated and keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive.

The Hoosiers are not supposed to be able to compete with Michigan on the football field. The phrase "supposed to" is key because no matter how the game ends IU defintely put a scare into the Wolverines. The threat became real when Mitchell Paige made a sweet 51-yard run to move the Hoosiers within 1.

They have since kicked a field goal to take a two-point lead. If you took Michigan and the spread it doesn't look goo.

Notre Dame has been hit with some crazy injuries to key players this season, but somehow they seem to keep coming back from them to play better than ever. The latest one is running back C.J. Procise who suffered a concussion last week. In his place against Wake Forest Saturday was freshman Josh Adams.

Alabama is the favorite against Mississippi State, but the Bulldogs defense is no joke--or is it? After Alabama wide receiver caught a short pass from Jake Coker he took it 60 yards for a touchdown while putting defenders on skates and just flat out making them look bad.

Yes, he did have the help of one tremendous block early in the run, but for the most part this was all Ridley's work:

Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds is not a household name. He is not a Heisman candidate, although there are many that think he should be.  There is a chance that he could garner some attention from NFL teams, but due to his service commitment in the Navy he will probably not even bother going to training camp (if invited). Enough about what he isn't. This is what he is--the all-time NCAA career rushing touchdown leader.

This four-yard run against SMU was No. 78 for Reynolds, breaking the tie with former Wisconsin running back Montee Ball:

North Carolina QB Marquise Williams Has No Respect For Miami's "U" [GIF

Opposing players often do not like each other. It is not unusual to see a player from one to do something that could be perceived as disrespectful to the other team. It may be distasteful and show a lack of class, but it is something that happens.

So Miami fans should not be too shocked to see North Carolina quarterback Marquise Williams do something with their "U" that it is not intended for. Williams may not want to visit Miami anytime soon after making this move.

WATCH: Cody Kessler Drops 36-Yard TD Pass In Perfect Spot For JuJu Smith-Schuster

Friday night the Trojans offense had a little trouble getting going in the first half against Colorado, but in the second half they were able to get moving finally. Kessler led the team on three touchdown drives to open the second half. The third came courtesy of wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster who hauled in a beauty of a 36-yard pass from Kessler to make the score 27-17.

Colorado would add a late touchdown, but USC would hold onto win 27-24.

Why Would You Want To Make Ronda Rousey Angry Before Fighting Her? [VIDEO]

Ronda Rousey is a beast in the Octagon, and she has prove that time and time again. You would think that prior to fighting her an opponent would not want to give her any additional motivation to be out for blood, but apparently Holly Holm was not worried about it during the weigh for UFC 193 Friday.

After getting off the scale Ronda charged right over and got in Holly's face so you could say she was the instigator, but that is pretty standard stuff. Fighters always get in each other's faces after the weigh in.

He finished the game with 11 points and nine rebounds, but it will be this basket that people talk about till the next time the Hoosiers take the court. Yeah, he got a foul in the process, but it was worth it. IU went on to win 88-49.

Gonzaga-Pitt Game Called At The Half Because Court Was Not Safe [VIDEO]

Pitt and Gonzaga were in Okinawa to open their season Friday night in the Armed Forces Classic, but the game just wasn't meant to be. With conditions in the gym hot and humid the court conditions were not very safe. Several times players from both teams slipped and hit the court. One, Pitt's James Robinson, hit the court so hard it cur his cheek open.

Having no air-condition didn't help. They tried to place large fans around the court to make up for it, but it just wasn't enough. As a result, the refs decided to call the game at the half. Due to the busy schedules of both teams the game will not be made up.

From the way he played it is safe to say that he is going to stay in the starting line-up going forward. He led the way with 26 points--including this one-handed dunk--for the Blue Devils in a 92-74 win over Sienna.

So far--it hasn't happened, but not because he is not playing well.

Clowney is flat out not playing. He missed most of his rookie season with injury issues and he has not played much during his sophomore season either.

However, after losing Big Ben to yet another injury for a few weeks the outlook is a little grim. That is until Roethlisberger said not to count him out for this week's game against Cleveland.

That is until Kellen Davis lost sight of a ball that looked like it was overthrown anyway on fourth and four at the seven yard line.

So he has to go low, but in doing so he has to go in with enough force to knock the big man down.

Decker kind of forgot the force part. Instead he basically laid down in front of Carrington (with a little guidance from Carrington):

So about midway through he second quarter he tried to get one to Marshall who should have had it.

Instead he offers it to the nearest defender--Corey Graham--for the easy interception.

He got another touchdown--his second in the passing game--off a 26-yard reception in the third quarter. With it he made a little history.

Texas A&M Suing Indianapolis Colts For Using 12th Man Trademark

The 12th Man has been tied to the Seattle Seahawks in the past, but only because the team paid the owner of the trademark for the right to use it, Texas A&M.

After the way Texas A&M sued Seattle for trademark infringement you would have thought everyone would have learned not to do it, but it appears that is not the case.

Dallas Mavericks Twitter Account Trolls Clippers After Win Wednesday Night

At this point in the season it is pretty hard to look at a game and call it a must win, but that is exactly what the Dallas Mavericks were faced with. It had nothing to do with division standings or the post season. It was all about beating the guy that spurned the team to stay in Los Angeles.

They did just that. Jordan only had nine points and 11 rebounds on the night as the Mavericks won 118-108, but they were not done taking shots once the game was over.

PHOTO: Denver's Joel Dreesen Shares Picture Of Enormous Leg Bruise From His Texans Days

Last season Houston Texans super star J.J.Watt shared a picture of an incredibly large bruise he got on his thigh from a block thrown by then-Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson. It was something else; the kind of thing that would make a normal man cry for his mommy.

Yes, it was that bad--but it doesn't have anything on the one Denver Broncos tight end Joel Dreesen recently decided to share with the world. Dreesen's makes Watt's look like a boo boo that just needs a kiss from Momma.

Did You See That Spin Move Clemson's Shaq Lawson Used Against Florida State? [VIDEO]

In the pass happy NFL teams are always looking for quarterbacks that can sling the ball, wide receivers that can catch anything, and defensive lineman that can rush the quarterback like a fat kid running after cake. When it comes time for the draft many teams will be eager to get Clemson defensive end Shaq Lawson. Who wouldn't want to have this spin move working for them next season?

Of course he could return to school next year since he's just a junior, but he's not going to.

Jordan Matthews Joined The Scout Team To Help Break Out Of Slump

Expectations were high for Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews coming into this season, but he has not performed up to par this season. Through the first seven games he had just 39 receptions with ten of them coming in the first game. However, it was his drops that was killing his stats and hurting the team.

Last week he appeared to break out of the slump with a 9-reception, 133 yard day that included the game-winning touchdown.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans Bordering On Arrogant Or Does He Just Have A High Standard?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans thinks he is one of the best players in the game today, but he is smart enough to recognize that he is not playing as well as he should. Sunday against the Giants he caught eight balls for 152 yards, but he was targeted 19 times and was credited with five drops on the day. In fact, he has the second highest drop rate in the league this season at 17.9 percent (10 drops).

So is he holding himself to a high standard or being arrogant when he says 150 yards is a bad day for him?

Arizona State Mascot May Cost University $123,000 For Jumping On Councilman's Back

Mascots are supposed to be goofy, fun-loving characters capable of providing entertainment when the team is not. They are supposed to do stupid things because people often find them funny. However, they are not supposed to do anything so stupid that it could backfire and cost the university money--but that is exactly what Sparky, the Arizona State mascot has done.

He may have cost the school $123,000.

Trevone Boykin Switching To Wide Reciever Rumor Is Ridiculous

Dual threat quarterbacks have had mixed results in the NFL. Colin Kaepernick was good at one time. Russell Wilson has made magic happen with his arm and feet too. However, Johnny Manziel and Robert Griffin III, and Terrelle Pryor have not fared so well. So does that mean TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin needs to switch to wide receiver to better his chances of making it in the NFL?

Absolutely not.



The Browns have been trying to make Manziel fit into a system that does not complete his skill set. Terrelle Pryor was never a strong passer in college so it is no surprise that he wasn't one in the NFL. As for Kaepernick and Griffin--who knows why they have failed (so far). Kaepernick was a running quarterback in college, and his transition to the NFL was not bad at all.r

Griffin? Who knows. His injuries have seriously hampered his development, but at this point it doesn't look like he will get another chance until he leaves Washington.

The point is you can't look at the guys with similar styles in the NFL and say he needs to switch. Given the right system and the right coaches, Boykin could be a very good quarterback at the NFL level.

Unless he were to change now and show what he can do as a wide receiver it will not help his draft status. Teams are not going to be eager to draft an athlete with the potential to play wide receiver without having seen him play the position.

Moving positions really didn't do former Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall any favors. He went undrafted, but was able to make the roster as a defensive back with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Someone may take a flyer on him late in the draft, but he is more likely to go undrafted. That means he will make as little as possible for a few years till he proves he can play.

He would be much better off staying at quarterback and getting drafted in the middle rounds of the draft, Ideally, he will sit behind someone until he learns the nuances of playing at the NFL.

It served Tyrod Taylor well and would likely do the same for him.

Ref Stops Central Michigan-Toledo Game To Tell Band And Cheerleaders To be Quiet [VIDEO]

Referees are supposed to make sure that no team is able to do anything that would give them an unfair advantage over the other during the game. Normally this refers to things like holding, pass interference, illegal procedure, and other penalties, but the ref during Tuesday night's Central Michigan-Toledo game took it to a whole new level.

He told the cheerleaders and band to be quiet:

PHOTO: Eagles Back-Up QB Mark Sanchez Had Ridiculously Good Looking Hair On The Sideline Sunday Night

At one time, Mark Sanchez was a starting quarterback in the NFL, but chances are he never will be again unless Sam Bradford gets hurt. While that is entirely possible with Bradford considering his history, he is otherwise relegated to the sideline come game day. From the looks of it, he knows this and has accepted it as fact.

Why else would he take such great care to make sure his hair was combed ad looking sharp on the sideline Sunday night?

Ryan Fitzpatrick Has Perfect Response To Rex Ryan Hating On His Beard

The Buffalo Bills are playing the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football so Rex Ryan is doing what he is known to do--talk stupid trash. Some might call it just him speaking his mind and not holding anything back, but it comes out as stupid trash talk. Yes, not just trash talk, but stupid trash talk.

Why stupid? Well--because he called Ryan Fitzpatrick ugly because of his infamous beard.

WATCH: Wes Welker Already Catching Passes At Practice With The St. Louis Rams

When the St. Louis Rams announced they were signing Wes Welker many people scratched their heads and wondered why. Isn't the team concerned about his concussion history? Aren't they afraid of the damage one more hit could do to him? They must have done a comprehensive physical before signing him, and liked what they saw.

He was one of the best in the game, and if he can take a hit he could prove quite useful down the stretch. He is already practicing with the team and didn't look bad in the clip the team shared on Twitter:

City Of St. Louis Admitting Fault By Covering Concrete Surrounding Field Prior To Bear's Game?

If you ask Reggie Bush, what the people in charge of the Edward James Dome--home of the St. Louis Rams--are planning on doing is great, but a little too late. It appears that they are planning on covering the concrete surrounding the field before the next game. So great for the Chicago Bears,  but it certainly doesn't do him and his jacked up knee any good.

Or does it...

Indianapolis Colts Beat Denver But Lost Andrew Luck In The Process [VIDEO]

Sunday was a great day for fans of the Indianapolis Colts--or so they thought. At the time they thought their team played a great game, kept Peyton Manning from breaking two Brett Favre records, and knocked Denver from the ranks of the undefeated. While they did beat the Broncos, the Broncos beat on Andrew Luck

We now know how bad the beating was.

PHOTO: Buffalo Bills HC Rex Ryan Wears Clemson Helmet During Press Conference Because He's Rex Ryan

Rex Ryan has never been one to hold back what he is thinking or feeling about anything whether its his current team, a former team, his wife's feet, or his son's football team. Since he didn't have much to say about his team or last Sunday's game he decided to show some love for his son's football team, the No. 1 Clemson Tigers.

One of his former players, Calvin Pryor, accused of being attention seeking, and if he is so what? He isn't doing for himself. He's doing it for his son's football team. Seth Ryan may only have one catch this season for the Tigers, but that doesn't matter either. Dads are allowed to support their kids however they want.

Alshon Jeffrey Has Big Night For Chicago Bears In Win Over San Diego Chargers [VIDEO]

The Chicago Bears would need a lot of things to go their way for them to have a shot at the post season this year. Will the stars alien for them? Probably not, but if you don't play like they might they never will. Alshon Jeffrey certainly did his part to make it happen for the Bears Monday night with a big night against the Chargers.

Of Jay Cutler's 40 pass attempts, 16 went in Jeffrey's direction. He did a solid job on the night catching 10 of them for 151 yards and a touchdown:

Chargers DB Jason Verett Records First Career Touchdown With Pick-6 Off Of Jay Cutler [VIDEO]

Former TCU defensive back Jason Verett is only in his second season in the NFL, but he has already become a leader for the Chargers on defense. Chargers defensive coordinator has asked him to take more of a leadership role with the unit this season. While he may not be the most vocal guy, Pagano says he makes up for it by letting his play do the talking for him.

It certainly did Monday night when he stepped in front of a pass meant for Alshon Jeffrey to pick it off and took it back 68-yards for his first career touchdown:

WATCH: Bears RB Jeremy Langford Lays Out To Make Awesome Catch

With Matt Forte out with an injury rookie running back Jeremy Langford was given the opportunity to shine Monday night on national television. With a 142 total yards (70 receiving, 72 rushing) and a touchdown it is safe to say he did just that during the Bears 22-19 win.

He certainly looked pretty good in the passing game when he laid out for this reception in the first half:

WATCH: Chicago Bears DL Lamarr Houston Whips Chargers OL Joe Barksdale Before Sacking Phillip Rivers

Chicago Bears defensive lineman Lamarr Houston came up with a big play when the team needed it most Monday night. After his team had taken a late lead against the San Diego Chargers it was up to the defense to shut down Phillip Rivers and preserve the win. Houston nearly did it on his own with a pair of sacks (back to back).

On the second he absolutely whipped Chargers lineman Joe Barksdale with an impressive combination of speed and power:

Looks Like 'Mike Ditka' Has Put On A Few Pounds [GIF]

The game may hae been played in San Diego, but the Bears Nation was present in full force Monday night including at least one Chicago icon, a larger than life version of legendary Bears coach Mike Ditka. Either he was just told he was getting free McDonald's for appearing in that new commercial or the Bears just did something right.

Free fries would make most people cheer like that...

Struggle Is Real For Phillip Rivers But Not So Much For Jay Cutler [GIF]

With his reputation being what it is you would expect it to be Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler with the struggle face at the end of Monday night's game--but that was far from the case. Instead fans saw a game where Cutler overcome his mistakes from the first half to play a solid second half.

After he threw the go-ahead touchdown pass to Zach Miller he was just a little bit pumped:

WATCH: Chicago Bears TE Zach Miller Makes Great One-Handed Catch For First Touchdown Since 2011

Zach Miller hasn't had the career that a lot of guys have had. He is in his sixth season as an NFL player, but he hadn't played since the 2011 season when he was still with the Jacksonville Jaguars (which also happens to be when he last scored a touchdown). So when you have a drought like he has had you have to break out of it in style.

That is exactly what he did Monday night when he made this catch for the go-ahead score against San Diego:

WATCH: Chargers TE Antonio Gates Pimp Slaps Bears DB Steve Williams At End Of 40-Yard Gain

San Diego Chargers tight end Antonio Gates will forever be known as one of the greatest tight ends in the history of the NFL, but he is not a spring chicken anymore. He has never been known as a speed demon, but if he were to run any slower on this 40-yard run last week would catch up with him.

When you are one of the greats you can do what you want as long as it works--and for Gates it clearly does. To finish the run he could have just gone down, but instead he decided to teach young Bears defensive back Steve Williams a lesson:

WATCH: Kyle Long Gets Beat Then Gets Mad At the Ref Because Jay Cutler Got Whacked

Kyle Long is a good offensive lineman; one of the better ones in the league, but he is not infallible. He made a mistake on the play below and got beat off the line by the Chargers linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu. As a result, Jay Cutler got whacked pretty hard after he threw the ball. Was it a late hit? Eh--maybe, but the ref didn't think so.
Long missed the block, but for some reason thought he could argue with the ref about whether the hit was late or not. You know--because refs often change their minds when players do that.

Jay Cutler Passes Sid Luckman As Chicago Bears All-Time Touchdown Passes Leader [VIDEO]

Sid Luckman is one of the all-time greats, but his name is actually going to be behind that of Jay Cutler in the record books for the Chicago Bears. Why? Well--because with a simple one-yard pass to Martellus Bennett he took over the lead in career touchdown passes with 138.

Congratulations Jay (but we still like Sid more).

San Diego Chargers RB Danny Woodhead With The Politest Spike Ever [VIDEO]

Typically when football players score they are hyped up, on an adrenaline rush, and in need of celebrating. Many of them are known to do so with a nice, powerful spike. Rob Gronkowski's has become famous, and normally they look a lot like his, but during Monday night's game against the Bears Danny Woodhead's was nothing like a Gronk spike.

He actually looked like he was trying not to hurt the football (because they have feelings you know).

WATCH: San Diego Chargers QB Phillip Rivers Doing His Happy Dance Down The Sideline

There is no quarterback in the NFL that is more entertaining to watch when he is not in the game than San Diego Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers. He is clearly into the game at all time--the highs and the lows--and you never have to guess how he's feeling. It is always perfectly clear.

For example, during the first half of Monday night's game against the Chicago Bears he was seen doing this:

Steelers Losing Ben Roethlisberger A Few Weeks With Foot Sprain [VIDEO]

The Pittsburgh Steelers just can't catch a break this season. First, there was the loss of Le'Veon Bell for a couple game due to a suspension. Then there was the first injury to Ben Roethlsiberger that brought on the mercifully short-lived Michael Vick tenure. Last week they finally got him back, but he was a bit rusty.

They had hoped that vintage Big Ben would reemerge against the Raiders. While Big Ben did have a solid statistical game he ended up getting knocked out of it in the fourth quarter.

Sunday was the first of what Blaine Gabbert hopes will be many starts for the San Francisco 49ers. it wasn't a great game on his part, but it was efficient and much better than what the 49ers Faithful had grown accustomed to. The play that was the most impressive might have been the one that hurt the most.

On this play he had to see the Falcons defender coming, yet he stayed in the pocket and delivered the pass taking a brutal hit in the process:

It wasn't just any old dive though. It was more like he soared into the end zone:

The New York Giants might want to remind Odell Beckham Jr. that they need his hands to be in good shape. The  last thing they need him to do is something stupid that might sprain a finger or break a bone in his hand. You know--like punch a full Gatorade cooler on the sideline because he's made.

Yes, he has proven time and time again that he doesn't always need both hands or even all of his fingers to catch, but no need to make one-handed (or three-fingered) grabs a necessity. Besides--hitting the Gatorade cooler is such a baseball move.

Vikings QB Teddy Bridgewater Knocked Out Cold By Dirty Hit; Says He's Fine And Went Out To Diner After Game

It was a pretty scary moment for the Minnesota Vikings early in the fourth quarter when quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was knocked out cold after getting hit by Lamarcus Joyner. The blow is going to cost Joyner some money since Bridgewater was in his slide and a protected player at the time. If the league office finds he was trying to be malicious it could cost him even more.

For his part, Bridgewater said he was fine after the game and even wanted to get back in, but since he had been diagnosed with a concussion that was not going to happen.

So far this season Dallas Cowboys fans know Cole Beasley as the guy that muffed a punt and cost the team a chance to go for the win against the Giants, but Sunday night he did his best to keep every drive alive and the Cowboys in the game. While his efforts did not result in a win for the team, they did result in a career night for the fourth year receiver.

He became Matt Cassell's favorite target catching nine passes for 112 yards and two touchdowns for his first career 100+ yard game and his second multi-touchdown game:
