"Thursday Night Football" was just awful. Running back James Conner reinjured his shoulder after six touches. Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was concussed. Quarterback Baker Mayfield was the fantasy star of the night with two passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown. Of course, the one passing touchdown was to tight end Steve Carlson.

Receiver Jarvis Landry caught the other touchdown from Mayfield. Odell Beckham Jr. is OK; the targets are there, just not the receptions, yards and touchdowns we need and want. And we won't even talk about the ending of the game ... sheesh.
