Nine weeks into the 2017 NFL season and there is still so much to talk about. Who would’ve thought? Well, probably everyone who watches football on a weekly basis.

This week’s group of games featured some of the feistiest moments of the season so far, for sure. But let’s stop the talking and get straight to what the people on Twitter thought of what went on in the NFL this week.

A.J. Green went full UFC on Jalen Ramsey

During the matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, things got a little heated and we’re not talking about the temperature during the game. Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green was clearly fed up with Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey when he brought Ramsey down to the ground with a chokehold reminiscent Saturday’s performance at UFC 217 from Georges St-Pierre.

Mike Evans maybe overreacts just a little?

With the New Orleans Saints up 30-3 over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the third quarter on Sunday, 23-year-old Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston decided to poke his finger at the head of Saints defensive back Marshon Lattimore. Unsurprisingly, Lattimore did not like that and responded with a small shove to Winston. However, a small shove is not what Tampa Bay receiver Mike Evans decided to give Lattimore soon after.

Rams pummel the Giants and that is being nice

It did not take very long for the New York Giants to realize they were well on their way to their seventh loss of the season as they went into to the half down 27-10 to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. The Rams went on to cream the Giants by a final score of 51-17, but luckily not many of New York’s fans stuck around to watch the thrashing.

Chiefs break out the potato sacks

With fewer restrictions on celebrations this season, the NFL has seen some pretty creative post-touchdown displays in 2017 so far. Add the Kansas City Chiefs’ touchdown celebration from their Week 9 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys to the list, which saw Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce beating his teammates in an imaginary potato sack race.

The Seahawks get a full dose of vintage Blair Walsh

After getting cut during the middle of the 2016 season by the Minnesota Vikings, kicker Blair Walsh landed with the Seattle Seahawks this past offseason and had been performing well through the first eight weeks of 2017. But Walsh’s old habits reared their ugly head on Sunday and likely cost the Seahawks a win over the Washington Redskins.

Lions rock em’ and sock em’

Early in their Monday night matchup with the Green Bay Packers, the Detroit Lions got on the board first after Lions receiver Marvin Jones hauled in a 25-yard pass for a touchdown. Following his score, Jones and his teammates showed off their own creative celebration skills to the rest of the league.
