Every recent first-round draft pick on the offensive side of the ball played a major role in their win this weekend. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. had his best game of the season, throwing for 313 yards and two TDs on the way to a 126 quarterback rating. Wide receiver Drake London and tight end Kyle Pitts had season-highs in receiving yards while each catching a touchdown. And of course, running back Bijan Robinson had 181 scrimmage yards and a TD.

Murray took down the Instagram post from Tuesday after seeing blowback online and expressed empathy to those who took offense to the post. "In no way, shape or form do I condone animal cruelty or dog fighting," Murray said during his weekly news conference. Murray said he wore the jersey, which he sported before Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers, because he grew up admiring Vick. Murray has two American Pit Bull Terriers, named Swoosh and Trunks. He posed with Trunks for the Instagram post.

The Chicago Blackhawks used one of their three first round picks last draft on Mason West, a high schooler from Minnesota that played in the USHL. West is a two sport athlete and plays as his high school's quarterback on the football team as well. In his football season opener he threw for four touchdowns. It's a cool story, but should the Blackhawks and their fans be worried? We're not talking about injuries as much as commitment.

"That just happens with any type of time. You just feel more comfortable naturally."
