The NFL is one of the top professional sports leagues in North America, with fans across the world tuning into their games. The league had a huge week 7 match-up between division rivals New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers. This game was also important to see if Tom Brady would continue his dominance after missing 4 regular season games due to suspension
The “nfl week 8” is the 7th week of the NFL season. The games will be played on Sunday, October 28, 2017.

On their Week 7 bingo card, who got “Daniel Jones makes incredible one-handed catch”? “Tampa Bay Buccaneers official barters with fan to reclaim Tom Brady’s 600th career touchdown ball that Mike Evans inadvertently gave away,” for example.
Anyone who has “Derrick Henry throws touchdown pass” seems equally implausible. That’s because the most recent NFL Sunday was chock-full of surprises.

If you were too preoccupied with Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and the Cincinnati Bengals handing the Baltimore Ravens a 24-point loss — and securing a 5-2 start to the season — to notice the guy wearing a swim cap and goggles in Levi’s Stadium, we’ve got you covered with all the wild, unexpected, and head-scratching moments you might have missed:
Daniel Jones flaunts his hands…
Is that you, Odell Beckham Jr.? If there’s one thing Sunday demonstrated, it’s that we’ve been underestimating Jones’ abilities. The quarterback of the New York Giants jumped up — and back — to make this catch:

The OBJ parallels started flying right away. Because if you make a one-handed grab for the Giants (or any club, for that matter), you’re compared to OBJ. The regulations aren’t made by us.

The New York Giants trounced the Carolina Panthers 25-3, demonstrating that Jones needs targets on a weekly basis.
King Henry is in charge of everything…
When Henry saw Danny Dimes’ catch, he threw him a touchdown pass. It’s also conceivable that King Henry heard that running backs don’t win NFL MVP and wanted to flaunt his arm.
In any case, the NFL’s leading rusher capping a wildcat drive with a 5-yard touchdown pass to tight end MyCole Pruitt for a 7-0 lead was spectacular, and it helped the Tennessee Titans beat the Kansas City Chiefs 27-3.

It was Henry’s second throwing touchdown of the season. In the Titans’ 28-12 triumph over the Baltimore Ravens in a 2019 divisional playoff game, he connected with wide receiver Corey Davis on a similar planned play.
Find a running back who can do both.
Today is #NationalTightEndsDay…
Is this even a thing? We weren’t the only ones who were caught off guard by the holiday, as Panthers star and retired tight end Greg Olson said at the conclusion of this video that #NationalTightEndsDay was not recognized while he was on the field:

Several tight ends, including C.J. Uzomah, Zach Ertz, Hunter Henry, Mo Alie-Cox, and Mike Gesicki, scored touchdowns to commemorate the event.
Good for tying up loose ends. Demand that you be treated with respect (and jersey sales).
Brady and his team have a big day ahead of them…
It doesn’t get much better than becoming the “only quarterback in NFL history to pass for 600 touchdowns.”
If you can’t be Brady, being the happy owner of his 600th touchdown ball is unquestionably the next best thing — not just because of the artifact’s historical importance, but also because of the potential financial gain from selling it.
One fortunate fan was in that situation for a short while thanks to Evans. That is, until a Tampa Bay official arrived to demand the ball be returned.
The fan who received Tom Brady’s 600th touchdown pass ended up returning it to the Buccaneers.

Evans, who threw the ball away without appreciating its importance at the time, apologized to his “big bro” Brady on Twitter after the game and expressed his delight that the ball had been returned to its rightful owner.
Sorry for the inconvenience, big bro, but I’m delighted that valuable legendary artifact got recovered https://t.co/IapscE2mBs

In other Bucs news, after forcing a turnover on Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields, Tampa Bay’s defense celebrated with a “row your boat” celebration. They did it again, and again, and again.
According to ESPN Stats & Information, Fields became the first Bears player since Jay Cutler in 2010 to fumble three times in a half.

The attendance was the most astounding aspect of the celebration… there were 13 persons in the boat.
Santa Clara is seeing some unusual weather…
The weather forecast for the Sunday Night Football matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and the San Francisco 49ers was less than ideal, and mother nature delivered.
It was raining. There was a breeze. There was a lot more rain and wind this time.
It seemed to be something like this:

While the players struggled to keep possession of the ball, at least one fan seemed to be entirely at ease in the weather. He was wearing a swim cap and goggles when he arrived to the stadium.

You might say he thoroughly comprehended the task.
Rodgers isn’t in town to stay at a hotel…
Aaron Rodgers has never been one to hold back his opinions, and Sunday was no different.
After the Green Bay Packers defeated the Washington Redskins, Rodgers revealed that he had a hurting back the day before. He made care to remind us of his reservations with the precedent that players must remain in a hotel the night before home games while thanking members of the Packers training staff for their assistance in getting him ready for the game.
Aaron Rodgers said he awoke with a sore back this morning — he’s never been a fan of sleeping in a hotel the night before a home game — and praised athletic trainer Nate Weir and chiropractor Mike Zoelle for getting him ready for the game.

“My back was a little stiff Saturday, and maybe you guys know or don’t know this, but there’s an antiquated procedural thing in our league where we stay at a hotel for the most important night of sleep, and I don’t want to blame it on the hotel — it’s a nice hotel — but my bed at the house that I’m sleeping in every other night of my time here in Green Bay would probably be a little bit of a better option, I think, and that’
In the Packers’ sixth consecutive victory, Rodgers completed 27 of 35 throws for 274 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. Consider what he’d do if he was able to sleep in his own bed.
