Top Tweets of the Week: NFL Week 3
One of the craziest weeks of the NFL season so far. We are only three weeks in, but between a solid stiff arm, Antonio Brown going crazy, and young quarterbacks taking over the league this week garnered 92,662 likes on accounts within the Hashtags Sports network.
After week two’s Monday Night Football matchup, Odell Beckham Jr. was interviewed by an ESPN Deportes (Spanish) reporter. It seems like it took him a second to realize the guy was speaking Spanish and that OBJ himself hadn’t gone crazy in this viral clip.
Someone finally said it, and that someone was Ryan Clark. As one reporter was saying that Cam Newton’s career was over, Ryan Clark was sick of the slander. You can’t praise Eli for a sorry career, and say Cam Newton’s is over before it begins.
Bills Mafia, the Buffalo fanbase famous for destroying tables at tailgates, have got to start them young. This video of a dad baptizing his newborn into Bills Mafia is the most adorable, yet Bills, thing you will see all day.
Captain Brissett felt he should write his mother to inform her their road trip is over. It seems his townspeople were happy he was home, and I am sure his mother will be as well.
Lamar Jackson has been fun to watch this year, and his on-field antics are large reason why. Tight end Mark Andrews signals to an on-the-run Lamar Jackson that he is open, and Lamar Jackson responds with a “what do you want me to do about it.”
We may have found the source of Antonio Browns’ off field antics, and it might just be a little something known as the “Madden Curse.”
Hearing athletes Mic’d up provides some of the most fun content. Even things as simple as a scared, “oh” are fun to hear.
Antonio Brown is down to his last hope after being cut from the Patriots. That may be to apologize to his former Steelers’ head coach, Mike Tomlin, for his behavior when demanding a trade.
The NFL has made it clear they are taking player safety seriously this season, but after Eagles Running Back Sanders was facemasked in the most clear way possible, Twitter wasn’t sure why there was no flag.
Belichick rested Brady for one play, and put in rookie Jarrett Stidham. That one play resulted in a pick-six, and the Jets closing the spread just a little. Maybe Brady isn’t such the system quarterback Twitter wants him to be.
Lamar Jackson has proved to the naysayers that he is more than a runningback, but man would he make a great runningback.
Speaking of Lamar Jackson, there is nothing the world loves more than a successful hail mary. Lamar Jackson chucked this one up, and a Ravens reciever came down with it. You love to see it.
Here it is - Kyle Juszczyk’s stiff arm heard around the world. This clip from NFLRT went viral, receiving 32,900+ likes.
Meanwhile, our Civil War Captain was successful in defending his town from the Falcons unit, and wrote to his mother to celebrate his success.
