Headline-maker: Austin Pettis
With the Rams lacking in healthy receivers, Austin Pettis - healthy and PED-free - received the start against the Green Bay Packers and caught a three-yard touchdown pass. It was Pettis' first career NFL touchdown catch, and instead of celebrating wildly in the end zone, Pettis calmly returned to the sidelines like a true professional and one whose team down 10 with 18 seconds left after his score.
Pettis takes his game across the pond to face the Patriots in London this weekend.
Elsewhere ...
- Tampa Bay running back Doug Martin had one of his best games as a pro, scoring on a 36-yard run and accounting for over 100 yards
passingrushing and receiving in the Bucs' narrow loss to the Saints. - There will be lots of former Broncos on the TV tonight as Titus Young and Shea McClellin square off in Lions v. Bears. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of Kellen Moore on the Detroit sideline, maybe in uniform but probably in NFL-approved street clothes.
- Orlando Scandrick, Kyle Wilson, Billy Winn, Daryn Colledge, Quintin Mikell, Pettis, and Martin all got the start for their respective NFL teams on Sunday.
