There were a number of interesting moments from this week in the NFL. Fans saw Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback Nathan Peterman throw five (FIVE!) interceptions in one half, the New England Patriots face-off against the Oakland Raiders in Mexico, and the former home of the Atlanta Falcons get imploded.
So how did people on Twitter react to everything that went on during Week 11 of the 2017 NFL season?
Nathan Peterman throws five interceptions for the Bills in his first NFL start
After losing two straight games, the Buffalo Bills felt it was necessary to make a quarterback change heading into their Week 11 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. So making his first career start under center for the Bills on Sunday was rookie Nathan Peterman and the kid’s day could not have gone much worse.

They say the last thing Charles Manson watched was the first half of today’s Bills game. Nathan Peterman killed Charles Manson.

Dre Kirkpatrick fails to score on a 101-yard interception return
Midway through the first quarter of his team’s matchup with the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Cincinnati Bengals corner Dre Kirkpatrick snatched a pass out of the air thrown by Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler. Kirkpatrick seemed to be well on his way to an easy touchdown the other way, but for some reason that is not how it turned out.

How bad are the Bengals…Dre Kirkpatrick just returned an interception 100 yards and didn’t score.

“Everybody got jokes,” Dre Kirkpatrick posted on his Instagram account after someone put in oxygen tank on his seat, referring to him running out of gas and fumbling what would’ve been a 100-yard pick six. https://t.co/5RcMVYASaX pic.twitter.com/XAWZOeF1Ta

Packers shutout at home for the first time in 11 years
It has been a miserable past few weeks for the Green Bay Packers since star quarterback Aaron Rodgers went down in Week 6 with a broken collarbone. Their season only got worse on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens when they turned the ball over five times and failed to score a point at Lambeau Field for the first time since 2006.
RAVENS SHUTOUT THE PACKERS!

Last time Packers suffered a shutout: Nov. 19, 2006, exactly 11 years to the day.

The Packers have been shutout at Lambeau Field only 7 times since 1970.

Patriots and Raiders battle (sort of) in Mexico
For the second straight year, the NFL had two teams travel to Mexico City, Mexico and play a game in front of more than 70,000 rowdy fans. This season, it was the New England Patriots taking on the Oakland Raiders. Unfortunately for the people in attendance, the game was not really that competitive.

Atlanta says goodbye to the Georgia Dome
After only 25 years, the city of Atlanta got rid of one of their most notable sporting venues in the Georgia Dome. The Atlanta Falcons called the Georgia Dome home for 24 years before they moved into the brand new Mercedes-Benz Stadium this season. A number of people were there to watch the implosion of the building, however, not everyone in the area was able to get a good view, including The Weather Channel.

Georgia Dome collapsing synced with the Patriots game-winning TD in Super Bowl 51 is the funniest thing you’ll see today. ?

They should have imploded the Georgia Dome following the charge call on Brandon Triche.

Just watched the implosion of the Georgia Dome. Thank goodness that ancient, decrepit, outdated, horrific 25-YEAR-OLD STADIUM is gone. Is there an NFL COUNTDOWN CLOCK for the next implosion?

I am CRYING. The Weather Channel set up for a live shot of the Georgia Dome being imploded, and at the perfectly wrong time … this happened (via @ajc): pic.twitter.com/LA0cXpC7oX
