There was just too much choking.  The Falcons fired head coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff following an 0-5 start and a 23-16 loss to the Panthers.

This will be a fun game.  The 1-3 Chargers are playing the 2-2 Saints on Monday Night Football.  The Saints’ Drew Brees was 3-0 against the San Diego Chargers since leaving the team and Alvin Kamara leads the NFL in yards after contact.  Updates to come.

The Dumpster fire continues to burn.  According to Adam Schefter, the Jets released running back Le’Veon Bell.  Bell had the highest cap hit of any running back in the league.

The last thing the rest of the league needed was for the champs to get deeper.  According to Adam Schefter, former Jets running back Le’Veon Bell is expected to sign with the Chiefs.

I have over half of my projected fantasy points for the week staked on four players in this game, so I need them to come through tonight.  The 3-2 Cardinals are playing the 2-3 Cowboys on Monday Night Football.  The Cardinals’ Kyler Murray has five rushing touchdowns this season.  The Cowboys have lost three straight prime-time games.  Updates to come.

The Cardinals beat the Cowboys, 38-10.

In one game last year, he meshed well with Tom Brady and soon, they will be reunited.  According to Adam Schefter, wide receiver Antonio Brown and the Buccaneers reached an agreement on a one-year deal.  Brown will likely make his debut in Week 9 against the Saints on Nov. 8 in Tampa, Fla.

I hate bringing up stories like this.  Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. told NFL reporter Josina Anderson that he has a torn ACL and his season is over.

I think the team that wins the defensive battle wins the game.  The 5-1 Bears are playing the 4-2 Rams on Monday Night Football.  The Rams’ Aaron Donald leads the NFC with 7.5 sacks.  The Bears’ Khalil Mack has 25 quarterback rushes.  Updates to come.

The Rams beat the Bears, 24-10.

What a thriller today in Chicago!  But it did get ugly.  The Bears' Javon Wims broke off his route and chased down the Saints' C. J. Gardner-Johnson and threw a sucker punch to start a fight.  The Saints beat the Bears, 26-23, in overime.

I feel like this will be a massacre.  The 5-2 Buccaneers are playing the 1-6 Giants on Monday Night Football.  The Buccaneers’ Tom Brady has 15 passing touchdowns in the last five games and the team is averaging 31.7 PPG this season.  Updates to come.

The Buccaneers beat the Giants, 25-23.

Even though both teams are struggling, this is still a great rivalry.  The 2-5 Patriots are playing the 0-8 Jets on Monday Night Football.  The Patriots have won eight straight against the Jets and Cam Newton has no touchdowns and five interceptions in the last three games.  Updates to come.

The Patriots beat the Jets, 30-27.  (What a thriller tonight in East Rutherford!)

I have both of these guys on my fantasy team, so this one play was huge for me.  The Cardinals' DeAndre Hopkins snagged a 43-yard Hail Mary touchdown from Kyler Murray between three Bills defenders with two seconds left for a 34-32 win.

[InThe313]

Honestly, I dislike both teams, so I hope this ends in a tie.  The 3-5 Vikings are playing the 5-4 Bears on “Monday Night Football”.  The Vikings’ Kirk Cousins is 0-9 on “Monday Night Football” and Dalvin Cook has a touchdown in seven straight games.  Updates to come.

The Vikings beat the Bears, 19-13.

Unfortunately, the tweet was true.  According to Adam Schefter and Ben Baby, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow tore his ACL and MCL and suffered other structural issues in his knee.

This game should be fun.  The 6-3 Rams are playing the 7-3 Buccaneers on “Monday Night Football”.  The Buccaneers’ Tom Brady has 18 wins on “Monday Night Football”, which is the third-most.  The St. Louis Rams/Los Angeles Rams are 1-5 against Brady as a starter.  Updates to come.
