NFL schedule and results: Week 4 coverage and score updates

While Jones was mostly complimentary of Weeden’s play, he also described the quarterback as “limited.” Via the Fort Worth Star Telegram:

Jones previously said that a concussion for Weeden in training camp “limited him for a period of time,” but Weeden was a full participant in practice all week and didn’t appear to get injured during the game, so “limited” instead looks like Jones changing his tune from previous comments when he described Weeden as anything but limited.

NFL fans are a passionate bunch. Seeing a NFL fan vent after their team gives up an 80-yard touchdown on a botched defensive assignment in overtime is totally normal.

But it’s a little different when the fan venting about their team is the governor of the state of Texas, Greg Abbott. It’s a little more different when they vent about their team by comparing them to an issue that’s very near and dear to residents of the state:

THAT SAID, THIS MAY BE A LITTLE EXCESSIVE, MARTELLUS BENNETT:

SB Nation presents: The Raiders’ hilarious last-second attempt at winning

After blowing a 13-0 halftime lead, Washington drove 90 yards in the final minutes of the game to set up a 4-yard touchdown reception by Garcon in traffic.

The catch gave Washington a 23-20 lead with 26 seconds remaining, and it proved to be the game-winner when the Eagles were unable to pull off another big play to end the game.

Slow starts are nothing new for Miami. Even in the team’s only win of the season, the Dolphins were shut out in the first quarter against Washington before finally scoring enough to win in the fourth quarter. A 10-0 start for the Jets extended those opening quarter woes to 37-3 on the year.

The penalties were two of 14 on the day for the Jets, who finished with a total of 163 penalty yards, which wasn’t far off from the 226 yards of offense tallied by the Dolphins, mostly coming in the fourth quarter. Dan Fouts captured the mood early in the game:

At the quarter mark, parity is alive and well in the NFC North.

The Eagles’ offense came alive in crunch time, however. A spectacular catch threatened to flip momentum. With the Eagles down five points and facing a long third down with three minutes to go, Jeremy Maclin made a one-handed grab deep down the sideline to keep a pivotal drive alive. 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh challenged the play, but upon review it was determined that Maclin kept control inbounds.

The Eagles drove down to within the 5-yard line, but the offensive line gave Foles little time on a fourth-down rollout, and Foles’ pass sailed well high of its intended target, giving the ball back to San Francisco with under two minutes remaining.

It took four quarters of Eagles vs. 49ers to give us the NFL’s best catch of the week, but here it is. Jeremy Maclin came up big with this diving, one-handed, LEFT-handed catch.

Jim Harbaugh challenged, but the ruling on the field was confirmed. It was a catch. Goodness gracious.

It’s rare to see a single image encapsulate a game, but here we are.

Aaron Rodgers threw for 302 yards and four touchdowns, while Alshon Jeffery was held to 39 yards receiving in the Packers’ 38-17 blowout win.

Update:

If Davis’ injury is serious, the 49ers will likely need to make a move to add some depth. Tight End Asante Cleveland is currently on San Francisco’s practice squad. He was added to the active roster last week, before being moved back to the practice squad this week. He may be in line to get re-signed to the active roster.

Let us guess: Mike Smith just had an itch, right? Maybe he’s digging for gold, or this is some kind of advanced play-calling technique we haven’t seen in the NFL yet.

YOU CAN SEE THE BOOGER!

All of the Jags’ skill players are enjoying an efficient rookie debut for Blake Bortles. Nearing the end of the third quarter, Bortles is 19-for-23 passing for 159 yards, one touchdowns and one interceptions.

Where: AT&T Stadium, Arlington

When: 8:30 p.m. ET

Teddy Bridgewater scored a rushing touchdown, just as Breaking Madden predicted:

Vikings fans appreciatecha, Teddy:

It’ll be OK, buddy. It’s just one pick-six. What’s that? Your special teams just gave up a touchdown to Darren Sproles?

Scream on, Colin.

UPDATE: Michael Crabtree returned to the field for the 49ers just before the end of the first quarter.

Crabtree was spotted on the sideline working with trainers and rolling a ball beneath his foot, suggesting that he may be dealing with a plantar fascia issue, according to Fox Sports’ Mike Garafolo.

After the Steelers’ loss today, Snoop Dogg posted this to Instagram:

I don’t know what the FUCK is worse right now: Being a fucking Cowboy fan, a fucking Raider fan, or a fucking Steeler fan. I’m finna start watching soccer and tennis, fuck this shit, sorry motherfuckers.

Usually when you’re punting you want to avoid punting the ball directly into a teammate’s ass:

Close quarters are no fun for punters, nor linemen’s butts, apparently. BUTTPUNT got the Eagles a touchdown, but it got the Niners a warm place in our hearts.

Through four games, Watt’s legend is approaching folk-lore status. He entered the game with two sacks, a fumble recovery and a blocked kick. He added five more tackles to his 10 tackles on the season entering the game. The most impressive play of the game was easily his pick-six. Watt somehow high-pointed a pass that was thrown a few yards in front of his faces, and, at 289 pounds, outran everyone to the end zone.

The Bills didn’t have Watt, however. The former Wisconsin walk-on was perhaps the biggest game changer in the NFL on the day.

Danny Lansanah did not appreciate Le’Veon Bell signaling his first down:

PLAY NICE, GENTLEMEN.

Carr suffered the injury to his left knee during the third quarter of Sunday’s game in London with the Raiders staring at a 31-point deficit. He briefly tried to play on the injury, but appeared to be in considerable pain. He struggled before leaving the game, going 16-for-26 passing for 146 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

Carr beat out McGloin, a rookie out of Penn State last season, for the Raiders’ starting job before the season officially began. McGloin appeared in seven games for Oakland last season, and completed 55.9 percent of his passes for 1,547 yards at 7.33 yards per attempt. He had eight touchdowns to eight interceptions.

Ever since joining the Ravens, Steve Smith has chirped at the Carolina Panthers, even explicitly yelling to a camera about how the Panthers would get their reckoning for not bringing him back:

Let’s check in on how Smith is doing against his old team:
