After last week's Broncos-Raiders game, Ronnie Hillman told reporters that the Broncos' running backs played rock-paper-scissors to decide who—out of the committee of Hillman, Montee Ball, and Knowshon Moreno—would get a goal-line carry. Knowshon Moreno apparently won this time around....

Seahawks-Texans Brought Us The Day's Craziest Ending

Brian Hoyer Is Looking Damn Good Today
We poked some fun at the Cleveland Browns when it was announced that career backup quarterback Brian Hoyer had been named the team's starter, but Hoyer's been balling today. He's followed up his good-but-not great debut with a solid first half against the Bengals....
