As the fall sun pushed into the twilight hours Sunday, the football world was trying to make sense of an absurd early slate of games in the NFL.
Twitter was in shambles. Nothing made sense. The Denver Broncos were blowing out the Dallas Cowboys. Was it due to Dallas adding the red stripe to the helmet? The New York Giants were leading the Las Vegas Raiders. The Atlanta Falcons were leading the New Orleans Saints. Even the Jacksonville Jaguars were winning.
Over the Buffalo Bills.
What was happening?
Then, an intrepid follower on Twitter provided me with not just an answer, but the perfect headline:
