Josh Gordon’s impressive NFL return wasn’t the only thing we loved about Week 13

Josh Gordon spent three years away from football after a lengthy suspension and multiple stints in rehab. For the first time since 2014, Gordon played in an NFL game on Sunday — and was successful.

Gordon came back to a Browns team that was 0-11, and painful to watch on offense, to say the least. He made NFL fans keep at least one eye on the Browns Sunday afternoon, in anticipation of seeing how the former All-Pro would do. Because yes — while he hadn’t played a football game in three years, he also had a 2013 season in which he had 87 receptions for 1,646 yards and nine touchdowns in just 14 games.

For emphasis: He led the NFL in receiving that season, catching passes from Jason Campbell, Brandon Weeden, and Brian Hoyer. You have to be a different kind of beast to be the NFL’s leading receiver with those three guys throwing you the football.

He finished Sunday’s game with four catches and 85 yards from DeShone Kizer.

Kizer has had plenty of struggles in his rookie season, but Gordon proved once again it really doesn’t matter who is throwing him the football — he can play.

For him to put up those numbers with Kizer under center is impressive. That’s not to say that Kizer can’t ever be an effective NFL quarterback, but he hasn’t shown much promise otherwise this season. Part of that has to do with not having weapons, like a Gordon.

One of his catches was this snag on a third-and-1, where he was able to secure the ball and stay in bounds to keep a drive alive:

I’m not sure how many receivers would have been able to accomplish what he did after the path that Gordon has gone on.

Hopefully he’s able to build on this and become the player that he once showed himself capable of.

Here’s what else we loved in Week 13.

The Chiefs are crumbling. They’ve now lost six of their last seven games after losing to the Jets in East Rutherford.

The game didn’t come without frustration of course, but Marcus Peters took it to another level after tossing the referee’s penalty flag:

Peters thought he got ejected for the flag toss, so he left the field.

MEANWHILE, Happy Jets Fan becomes the life of the party in the stands, where he is applauded and takes selfies with the rest of the fans around him.

Peters would later come back after learning he wasn’t ejected, but he didn’t have any socks on:

We can’t be sure where exactly his socks went, but he might have tossed them into the stands and wanted to retrieve them:

Imagine if this would have gone down with Marshawn Lynch in the building to get involved with his mentee.

The Chiefs lost, but we’re all winners for the Marcus Peters meltdown.

Bilal Powell scored a touchdown and wanted to give the ball to a fan in the stands. A Jets fan lowered his son to retrieve the ball.

Or at least, that’s how it went down:

All I’m saying is, don’t rule out the idea that the man might have been willing to trade his child for a touchdown ball.

That looks like he had swap intentions. Because Powell could have just thrown the ball, like most players do.

But you can be the judge.

Tarik Cohen’s not the first guy to have that nickname, but he’s earned it.

He’s been one of the bright spots in what’s otherwise been a drag of a season for the Bears. Against the 49ers, he had the punt return of the season:

I want to say I’m surprised that he did that, but then again, I’ll never doubt a person’s abilities at anything when they can do this:

He told SB Nation at the NFL Combine in April that he felt his biggest strength is “the fact that I can make a play with the ball without getting like 20 carries a game.”

Yes. Yes you can, Tarik.

The Jacksonville Jaguars cruised past the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday to improve to 8-4 on the year. Whew, that still feels weird — a winning Jaguars team!

The Jaguars are so good, they took up basketball during the game with a Leonard Fournette free throw:

He made it, which is cool, it’s also not hard because of the wide basket, aka the field goal post.

However, I’m THRILLED that the Jaguars offensive linemen were boxing out on this shot. I mean, there are KIDS watching! God forbid they would have just watched him sink that thing without trying to secure a possible rebound.

McKinnon is a fellow Cobb County native like myself, where he knows the Falcons’ struggles all too well.

But he also knows the beautiful things of Atlanta, which include the “dirty bird” that used to be the signature of Jamal Anderson and the Falcons in the ‘90s. He brought that back when he scored against his hometown team.

I never want to see my team lose, but McKinnon knows the value of the dirty bird, and I can respect that.

A Hazmat crew was called into the Patriots-Bills game to get a “beige object” off the field, which we’re 99.9999999999% sure is a dildo:

Bills Mafia has a rap sheet for these kinds of things. See: last year’s game and this dildo that tried to get in on the tackle:

I don’t think it’s a coincidence we’ve seen this two years in a row now. Expect it to happen anytime the Patriots make the trip to Buffalo.

It’s the closest thing the NFL has to any of those traveling college football trophies.
