Sunday’s NFL action had a little bit of everything, including another fit thrown by Tom Brady during the Bucs’ ugly loss to the 49ers in Brady’s emotional return to his hometown.
We saw the Cowboys have to rally in the final minute to beat the Houston Texans.
We saw Jets QB Mike White suffer a brutal hit to his ribs that somehow didn’t knock him out of the game.
And we Mitch Trubisky throw an INT to a former teammate, which led to everyone telling the same joke.
Let’s now have some fun and hand out some awards for the good, the bad, and the hilarious from Sunday’s games.
The worst job of not doing their job: The refs who missed Tom Brady getting his throat grabbed.
Something probably should have been called on this play. Instead, there was no flag thrown.

Worst job of reacting to your opponent calling a flea flicker: The Browns defense.
You don’t normally see a team get burned this badly on a flea flicker:

Coolest moment for a dad in the stands: This one for Brock Purdy's dad.

Best catch by a very large man: Penei Sewell.
The Lions turned to a 335-pound offensive lineman to seal a win over the Vikings and Sewell didn’t disappoint.

Best job of avoiding a TD celebration that would've gotten him fined again: Ezekiel Elliott.
Yeah, Zeke thought twice about this after getting fined just over $13K last week for jumping into the Salvation Army kettle.

Best postgame greeting by fans while on the road: This one between Travis Kelce and Chiefs fans in Denver.
Travis Kelce became just the fifth tight end in NFL history to reach the 10,000-yard receiving mark and he celebrated that accomplishment with some of his fans.
