Bengals DE Carl Lawson lost not one, but two (!!) teeth during a play
While trying to make a sack on Cleveland Browns QB DeShone Kizer, Lawson lost two teeth after falling to the ground. During the play where he lost his two teeth, Lawson was not wearing his mouthguard. Didn't his mom ever tell him to watch his mouth? I know mine did. There's a reason why moms know best.
Kids draw the funniest things
Torrey Smith's son, TJ, had one of the greatest drawing of Eagles players Legarrette Blount and Carson Wentz. I can only see two reasons why Wentz is orange: either it's his ginger hair, or because he is fire on the field. I like the second reason better.

Nobody expected Buffalo to beat the Denver Broncos or Atlanta Falcons, but that's exactly what they did the past two weeks. The Bills are 3-1 this season and currently in first place in the AFC East.

Kony Ealy earns an emotional game ball from his teammates
Last week, Ealy experienced the worst thing that can happen to a family when he lost his sister, Latoya Brown. On Sunday, Ealy recorded a tackle, 4 pass deflections and an interception for the New York Jets overtime victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars. His teammates showed him love and awarded Ealy a game ball that he will never forget.
Our thoughts are with Ealy and his family.
