Week 9 in NFL: Fisticuffs, an unhappy baby and one of worst drops you'll see

A quick breeze through our top five highlights from Shutdown Corner on Sunday:

5) Why do football players think punching someone wearing a helmet is a good idea? We’ll probably never get a satisfactory answer. Anyhow, five guys got ejected for fighting Sunday. [What was the NFL fight of the day?]

4) You have our condolences if this Julio Jones drop cost you in fantasy football. [Julio Jones had the worst drop of the NFL season]

3) This is probably what would happen if you were to get in and carry the rock in an NFL game. [Raider o-lineman trying and failing to advance fumble is sad and perfect]

2) The Houston Texans really, really miss Deshaun Watson. He probably could’ve closed out the World Series for the Astros if they asked. [This is how valuable Deshaun Watson is to Houston]

1) Souvenirs for young fans never get old. [Saints Baby gets free football, cries like a baby]
