Best interview: CBS Sports Evan Washburn shared that NY Giants RB Saquon Barkley spends half his preparation time visualizing how to avoid and forced missed tackles because he knows he's one of the main targets teams plan for.
Biggest Understatement: Fox Sports Kevin Kugler, after a PI call was made, "Usually when you see the name on the backside of a jersey disappear, it's not a good sign."
Best foresight: Fox Sports Mark Sanchez said the main reason for wanting to gain 7-9 yards on a 1st Down is because it opens up the entire playbook on 2nd down while keeping a short run on the table for 3rd Down.
Best comment: Fox Sports Mark Sanchez said the main thing that's difficult for young NFL players is to learn to stop shooting yourself in the foot. You have to start with a few basics and build upon them rather than trying to learn everything all at once.
Keys to success: Fox Sports Mark Sanchez said one of the things that has caused the Bears offense to start having some success has been Justin Fields learning when to scramble in the NFL. It has allowed him to have 7 TD's and 0 interceptions over the last 2 games.

Funniest line: CBS Sports Greg Gumbel, after sideline reporter AJ Ross notes that it's about 25 degrees cooler on the Dolphins' side of Miami's Hard Rock Stadium than it is for the visiting Browns due to shade: "We might as well get AJ a Miami uniform; she's not moving from this sideline."
Funniest exchange: Greg Gumbel and Adam Archuleta on CBS as a possible (but uncalled) pass interference is replayed in Dolphins/Browns game. Archuleta: "It certainly looked like it in real time." Gumbel, “I know what? It looked like it in slow motion, too."
Best interview: NBC Sports Melissa Stark interviewed Cheryl Bosa who sewed her sons jerseys together for the 49ers/Chargers match since one plays on each team. She wouldn't have been cheering for either team had both boys been playing, but since one is injured she's leaning towards the one playing: the 49ers.
Bad Breaks: NBC Sports McAulay criticized the officials on Chargers/49ers for not using replay to confirm that a 49ers defenders toe hit the goal line on a punt, which should have resulted in a touchback. Instead they placed the ball at the 1 and gave the Chargers 99 yards to go instead of 75.
