Week 7 ICYMI: Here’s an NFL recap that will take you, like, 20 seconds to digest. The weekend that was …
1. The Bills had to start 35 year old quarterback Derek Anderson because their only other option was Nathan Peterman
There should be a special NFL channel that just cuts in whenever Nathan Peterman is going to try to throw the ball. You could call it Dread Zone.

If Derek Anderson is the answer. I don’t even wanna know what the question is.#GoBills

…and it went pretty much as expected
Derek Anderson threw 3 picks and no touchdowns and it wasn’t the worst game a Bills QB has had this year, or the second-worst game a Bills QB has had this year

Wouldn’t blame any Bills player for retiring at halftime
2. There were a few controversial 2-point conversion attempts this week, but Pat Shurmer says he had analytics on his side
Giants fans everywhere today:
3. The defending Super Bowl champions went into the 4th quarter with a 17-0 lead like:
Approximately 15 minutes later:
Take it from the Falcons: It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.
4. The Browns lost another overtime game in heart-wrenching fashion by way of a fumble and a 59 yard field goal and Baker Mayfield is shook
5. Speaking of kickers, the Ravens lost by one point because Justin Tucker missed his first PAT in 223 tries and you gotta feel for the guy
6. Unfortunately for Bengals fans, primetime Andy Dalton is still a thing

Andy Dalton does what he does best in primetime: finding the open DB over the middle for the touchdown #CINvsKC pic.twitter.com/3WcBrBVp6m

7. Blake Bortles was benched for backup Cody Kessler after his second fumble of the day
Blake Bortles has lost a pair of fumbles today. He has 26 games since the start of 2014 committing multiple turnovers, the most such games by any player in the NFL in that time. pic.twitter.com/FeBUZuCesL

The #Chiefs absolutely broke the #Jaguars. Basically beat them back to 2016 form.

…and Jags fans are punching each other in the stands over it
8. And the “definitely not tanking Jon Gruden” fire sale continued as Amari Cooper was traded to the Cowboys on Monday for a first rounder
Jon Gruden on Amari Cooper in February: “He’ll be the focal point of our offense.”
Jon Gruden on Amari Cooper Trade Rumors Last Week: “I haven’t heard that. I’m just sorry to have to deal with a lot of these reports.”
Today: Raiders trade Amari Cooper

How in the hell did the Raiders get a first rounder for Amari Cooper? Who has pictures of whom?

Joey Galloway and Roy Williams agree — Dallas got the best of the Amari Cooper trade
