Here is everything that happened in the National Football Conference yesterday.

Arizona Cardinals at Jacksonville Jaguars +7.5
O/U 51.5

Things you don't see everyday. A ref flag connecting with a punted ball on the way down

Also, field goal attempts returned 109 yards for TD.

(Is Gus Johnson back? Or did he never leave?)

Things you DO see every (Sun)day. Kyler Murray scampering into the endzone untouched.

Takeaways- The Cardinals are very very for real. The Jaguars deserve respect for playing hard for Urban Meyer. Pray for Trevor Lawrence.

FINAL-
Cardinals 31
Jaguars 19

Baltimore Ravens at Detroit Lions +7.5
O/U 50.5

I don't think anybody expected this to be as close as it was. Props to Dan Campbell for getting this team many believed would be the second-worst in the league to play hard each week.

The Lions were actually in the driver's seat, looking like the stole a big win.

But then fate took over.

Why wasn't this play blown dead and a flag thrown for delay of game?

Answer: Because it's the Lions and God hates the Lions. (Probably for eating all those Christians back in the day)

I honestly don't understand what Lions fans did to deserve this. Every week. Every year. Is it because Martha Ford eats babies?

All I know is they don't deserve the PAIN.

Stay strong Detroit. This will all make sense one day.

FINAL-
Ravens 19
Lions 17

Atlanta Falcons at New York Giants -2.5
O/U 47.5

Has Daniel Jones been playing the wrong position this whole time?

Not often you see a defense call timeout. Nevermind twice in the same game. Giants football.

This game sucked. Falcons won as time expired.

FINAL-
Falcons 17
Giant 14

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Los Angeles Rams +1.5
O/U 55.5

Billed as the game of the week, this was a major letdown.

For starters, Tampa Bay's defense is suspect.

Desean Jackson is alive and playing for the Rams.

Sean McVey was all hopped up in Mountain Dew 

Gronk took a massive hit and left the game. 

The only other time I've ever seen him take a hit like this was when Earl Thomas popped him. Luckily he's ok and x-rays came back negative.

Tom was NOT happy in this one.

Stafford is playing out of his mind and looks like the MVP right now. 

Fun fact - Matthew Stafford has 9 Pass TD, tied with Kurt Warner (1999) for the most ever by a Rams QB in their first three games of a season. That year, Warner won MVP and the Rams won the Super Bowl

FINAL -
Bucs 24
Rams 34

Seattle Seahawks at Minnesota Vikings -2.5
O/U 54.5

The Vikings looked very well coached in this one.

And played up to the competition. For once.

Kirk Cousins got the job done and Minnesota got their first win of the season.

FINAL-
Seahawks 17
Vikings 30

p.s. - why is Macklemore a Vikings fan?

Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers -3
O/U 50.5

What a game this one was.

Green Bay went up early while Pretty Jimmy and the boys worked the rust off.

Nina Adgal dropped this haymaker in the middle of the first quarter to remind us all of what's really important.

Trent Williams choo choo.

San Fran battled back.

There was an outrageous amount of flags in this game. But not on this play that almost decapitated Devontae Adams

Rodgers marched them down the field 

setting up his boy Mason for another game-winner.

This guy is so clutch.

I fuckin hate the guy, but damn is he good. He also dropped an all time quote to close out the telecast.

Amen you son of a bitch.

Tonight we've got the Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys -3.5
O/U 51.5
