Philip Rivers Is An Intense Weirdo
San Diego 19, Indianapolis 9: This is the only GIF necessary from this game. Nick Novak hit a 50-yard field goal just inside the two-minute warning to give the Chargers a two-possession lead.

The Washington Redskins, Rebranded: Your Best Submissions
99design's "Rebrand The Washington Redskins" contest ended this weekend, with the logo above (by user Mixaurus) winning the $499 prize.
