Move over, Omaha. The hottest new audible on the streets is Halle Berry. Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff used the audible at the line of scrimmage in the first quarter during Sunday's win against the Seattle Seahawks. 

Head coach Sean McVay explained the call, saying, "She's a very attractive woman that players know. And it's related to the play." That's as much detail we're going to get though. 

Berry responded on Twitter:

I assume Jared feels how I felt when Justin Timberlake liked my Instagram picture.

• In almost-as-exciting news, the Rams have our first playoff scenario of the season. They could clinch the NFC West with a win over the Kansas City Chiefs and a Seahawks loss to the Green Bay Packers.
• More Rams - In addition to playing in Mexico City on Monday night, the team will head to Honolulu, Hawaii for a game in the 2019 preseason. Aloha and yeah can I come?
• And, in less exciting Rams news - WR Cooper Kupp is out for the season with a torn ACL. Kupp left Sunday's game in the fourth quarter with a non-contact injury. Not great!
• The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are sticking with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick despite losing to the goddamn Washington Redskins in embarrassing fashion. Fitzpatrick had two interceptions and a fumble, but I guess when the other option is Jameis Winston....
• Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh gave us some hope for QB Joe Flacco's status for Sunday. In pretty much my exact words that I told you yesterday, Harbaugh said, "If Joe can play, he'll play." Harbaugh added that he doesn't need to practice to play. 
• Speaking of Harbaugh who everyone wants to see gone for some reason, the New York Jets, one of (if not the worst) team in the league isn't making any coaching changes before the end of  the season. Why even bother? We all know how this is gonna end. 
• The Cincinnati Bengals fired their defensive coordinator Teryl Austin on Monday and for some reason Marvin Lewis is still fucking there.
• After losing Dez Bryant, the New Orleans Saints signed WR Brandon Marshall on Monday. Marshall has never played in a playoff game because he's been on teams that suck, but this year he may get his wish.
• Regretfully, the Buffalo Bills released QB Nathan Peterman on Monday night. While it is hard to get through this moment, I am determined to find the strength. 
• The New York Giants defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Monday Night Football last night, and guess who led the game-winning drive? The ghost of Eli Manning​.

I have an announcement. I really think the Cleveland Browns have finally found an actual real life quarterback after all these years. I doubted them. Everyone did. But they may have done it. Baker Mayfield is actually good.

Not only did the Browns beat Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons and get me laughing until next month, but Mayfield also looked more like a veteran than Ryan (pretends to be shocked). 

Mayfield played his best game as a starter - 17-of-20 for 216 yards and three touchdowns. Also with an impressive day was running back Nick Chubb contributing another embarrassing Falcons stat - his 92-yard touchdown run was the longest ever in Browns' history.

How did Mayfield do it? He said he "woke up this morning feeling real dangerous." I'm into that.

• Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco still has a chance to play next weekend after suffering a hip injury while he was battered around by his shitty offensive line last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tests are being done to determine the severity of the injury, but I'd expect him to push to play.
• The Washington Redskins have won three out of four road games so far this season and of course Josh Norman has something to say about it. "It seems like our true fans, they’re really with us on the road and we feed off of that. When we go into the home stands, it seems like an open bubble or something. Like the other team’s turf or something. You hear more of them than you do us. Then, if something bad happens, they sulk. They sit back in their seat and they boo." Or it just might be because Fed Ex Field is a dump and no one is allowed to have fun there.
• The New York Jets played their funniest game since the ButtFumble game on Sunday. They let the Buffalo Bills and Matt Barkley who literally walked onto the team like four seconds ago beat them 41-10. You gotta TRY to be that bad. 
• Not only did the Tennessee Titans beat the pants off of the New England Patriots on Sunday, but they also got shit talked about them! Love to see it! RB Dion Lewis unloaded on his former team, saying "“Hell yeah it’s personal. That’s what happens when you go cheap. You get your ass kicked.”
• The Cincinnati Bengals are bad. 
• The New Orleans Saints beat up more than just the Bengals on Sunday. Head coach Sean Payton​ also seemed to have beat the shit out of the fire alarm in the locker room. I guess it was going off before the game and he wanted it to stop, so he smashed it. I get it.
• Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is continuing to set records. Mahomes set the Chiefs' single-season record for touchdowns with 31. The previous record was held by Len Dawson at 30. And it's only Week 10. 
• Los Angeles Rams T Andrew Whitworth is donating Week 10's game check to the victims of the recent Thousand Oaks mass shooting. Not enough attention will be paid to this story, but good for him. 
• In less feel-good news regarding the Rams, WR Cooper Kupp was injured in Sunday afternoon's game with a knee injury. Head coach Sean McVay on the injury: "I don't think it's very good." Kupp had a knee injury earlier this season as well. Even Sam Bradford doesn't think that's very good.

The trade deadline was Tuesday and it was extremely quiet all day until about 3:45pm and then all hell broke loose.

The Baltimore Ravens, who I did not expect to partake in trade deadline day, ended up in a deal with the Green Bay Packers for running back Ty Montgomery. Yep, that one. The drama king from Week Eight. Baltimore gave up a seventh-round pick in 2020.

Even though the position is one of the highest that might have needed an upgrade (offensive line being the highest), extra drama is the absolute last thing the Ravens could use right now. Coming off of two straight losses, they play their biggest rivals,  the Pittsburgh Steelers, this weekend, and I do not know how much more I can take to be honest.

I don't hate the move as long as he can keep his mouth shut, is a team player, and doesn't do whatever he did in Packer-land  is what I'm saying.

• The NFL has spun the Wheel of Discipline and it landed on "Eight Games" for Seattle Seahawks LB Mychal Kendricks. Kendricks plead guilty to insider trading charges and will be eligible to play on December 10 against the Minnesota Vikings.
• Hope you're sitting down. The Buffalo Bills are starting QB Nathan Peterman this week while Derek Anderson is sidelined with a concussion. In real life.
• Please excuse me while I shed some tears. Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger has broken his index finger on his left hand. I'm already planning on going in for the handshake this weekend and squeezing a little too tight. 
• Speaking of unfortunate injuries, Cincinnati Bengals WR AJ Green is in a boot. Not fashionable boots. It was said he jammed his toe.
• New York Giants backup QB Kyle Lauletta ​was arrested on his way to work on Tuesday for "failing to listen to a police officer's instructions" and coming "close to striking an officer's vehicle." I mean, every time I drive on the same roads as these idiots who decide to drive at the same time as me and don't get arrested is a win. I feel for you, Kyle.
• The Detroit Lions traded WR Golden Tate to the Philadelphia Eagles for a third-round draft pick. Tate is in the final year of his contract and finally gets to catch passes from a good QB.
• The Los Angeles Rams traded for Jacksonville Jaguars pass-rusher Dante Fowler. One of my favorite Fowler moments was when he threw a man's groceries into a lake.
• Packers players were going fast on Tuesday. In addition to Montgomery, Green Bay also dealt S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to the Washington Redskins. Clinton-Dix fits perfectly in DC (that was a political pun).
• The Houston Texans closed on a deal with Denver Broncos WR Demariyus Thomas on Tuesday for a mid-round pick. Houston lost Will Fuller to a torn ACL.
• Prepare to wake up early four times on Sunday in 2019. There will be four NFL games in London next year, which means four days where we watch nothing but football for over 12 hours, I am all in.

We're gonna need like, eight of them. The sky is falling in Cleveland and while it shouldn't shock a single fucking person, the Browns fired their head coach Hue Jackson and their offensive coordinator Todd Haley. It's almost as if the Browns still aren't good, despite high hopes this season. So surprising.

There were various reports that the two were in the middle of a catfight and couldn't even be in the same room because they hated each other's guts (I made most of that up). 

Defensive coordinator Gregggggggg Williams was named the Browns' interim head coach with his experience and his ability to yell about literally everything. Freddie Kitchens has been named the new offensive coordinator and the puns used between "Kitchens" and "Baker" should be the most exciting thing about the Browns' season thus far. 

• It's FitzMagic time again, folks. After an abysmal performance this weekend by QB Jameis Winston, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced on Monday that the better choice all along, Ryan Fitzpatrick, will start this week. They play the Carolina Panthers who are coming off the worst game I've seen in a while and I'm still not over it thanks for asking.
• Baltimore Ravens S Eric Weddle is saying what we're all thinking (but in nicer words and without screaming and yelling): “I don’t like to say, ‘We’re alright.' We’re not alright. We just got blasted. … We’re 4-4 — an average team. We just got blown out. I wouldn’t say it’s rock bottom, but we have to look at ourselves and get back to work.”
• New York Giants QB Eli Manning is not great. Head coach Pat Shurmur was asked about a change at the position, and didn't give a straight answer but stated, "At this point Eli’s our quarterback and we’re looking at all ways to improve.” So ya need a new QB my man
• Rumors are swirling that various teams are interested in Denver Broncos WR Demariyus Thomas. Those mentioned are the Houston Texans (lost Will Fuller this weekend) and the New England Patriots.
• Continuing the trend of beer-throwing at NFL games -- A group of New Orleans Saints DBs say Minnesota Vikings fans threw a beer can on them during Sunday's game. Again, these people should be disciplined on the fact that they're wasting perfectly good beers.
• Tons of drama went down in the Green Bay Packers' locker room on Sunday. Apparently several players called out RB Ty Montgomery for 'throwing a tantrum' after being plucked from the game. In retaliation, he apparently 'disobeyed coach's orders' and ran the ball out instead of taking a knee and oh god are we in middle school again? 
• Los Angeles Rams RB and my current spirit animal, Todd Gurley, basically said fuck off to fantasy football nerds and Vegas nerds. The Rams won 29-27 and apparently that's not a good thing but there's too much math involved for me to really care. "We got the win, so that's all that matters," Gurley said (he's right).
• Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson had to take a bus over the team plane ride two weeks ago to Jacksonville (can confirm that is a long way) and honestly that was probably boring as shit to be on a bus by yourself for that long. But anyway, he won't have to do that this week and can fly to Denver with his chest injury/broken lungs/whatever it is.
• New England Patriots WR Josh Gordon started Monday night's game after it was said that he would be sat for the first few plays due to being late. Either someone fucked up or the Patriots just trolled everyone. Both entirely possible.

Sunday's NFL contest between the Baltimore Ravens and the Carolina Panthers was a game that made me question my life in general. Why do I even put myself through this? The world may never ever know. I knew what was going to happen before the game, I knew what was happening when it was happening, and I still questioned the result at the end. 

Anyway, it didn't start off all that horribly -- the Ravens had a successful first drive that ended in an Alex Collins touchdown. But things quickly got off the rails, and Collins seemed to be the only player on his team who continued to have a good game (minus the fumble). Linebacker CJ Mosley looked completely lost, the secondary was flustered without Marlon Humphrey and the offensive line was just abysmal.

Credit where its due -- Panthers quarterback Cam Newton had a fantastic game after not practicing a full week. Greg Olsen seemed his usual self as the Ravens D frequently left him open in the middle of the field for god knows whatever reason. 

Baltimore has a lot of work to do if they want to be great at this whole "football" thing.

• Is Adrian Peterson officially back? The Washington Redskins got their third straight win against the New York Giants, and Peterson led the way like old times. Peterson caught his first touchdown pass since 2013.
• In my 'Things That Don't Surprise Me' file, I have the following: Atlanta Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff is a cyclist. Yep, he's one of those annoying people on bikes who take up the entire goddamn road and cause traffic. Take that shit to a trail or something.
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR DeSean Jackson reportedly requested a trade. Jackson saw more production while QB Jameis Winston was suspended and he was catching passes from Ryan Fitzpatrick. However, with Sunday's benching of Winston will he want to stay if Fitz gets the job? The trade deadline is Tuesday. -eyes emoji-
• Cincinnati Bengals DE Carl Lawson​ tore his ACL during Sunday's game. He only has (had?) one sack on the season.
• While we're talking about fallen ACLs, Houston Texans WR Will Fuller tore his on Thursday night and is out for the season. He'll be getting surgery this week. 
• In regular nice-guy fashion, Los Angeles Rams DT Ndamukong Suh said this about Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers: "I don’t know if he likes me. But I don’t really need a response. My response is when he’s getting up from the ground. That’s all I’m excited for." Uhhhh ok
• Indianapolis Colts K Adam Vinateri​ broke the all-time scoring record at the end of the first half on Sunday. He's scored 2,547 points and according to my notes, that's a lot.
• Second worst Ravens WR of all time Jeremy Maclin will not play this season because of an (shocker) injury. He'll need surgery on his hamstring. Might wanna get him some new hands while they're there.
• Imagine not loving Josh Rosen. Could not for a single second be me. Sunday's Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers game was a yawn-fest until the fourth quarter when Rosen led the comeback to win 18-15.
• The Jacksonville Jaguars had a great time in London. Four defenders were "detained" after a "misunderstanding" which led them to "walking out" on a $64,000 bar tab. Nobody seems to really know what actually happened, but it sounds like a fun fucking night.
