BY DAN I have to admit it. This was a pretty underwhelming week of football.

But like every week, there were still things to enjoy. 5 Up For … More 10 Things About the NFL: Week 7
BY DAN This week was all about #deflategate. The match-up that spawned a thousand hot takes was renewed again this week.
