6. Big boy goes for six

The Tennessee Titans may have lost to the Indianapolis Colts, but at least they gave us some high-quality entertainment. The Titans got on the board in the first quarter, when star left tackle Taylor Lewan reported as eligible and after throwing a chip block, released into the flat and caught a Marcus Mariota pass.

From there, Lewan rumbled in open space to cap off his first career NFL touchdown, going in from 10 yards out. The score made the game 7-0 Tennessee in the first quarter, but the defense could not keep the mojo working. Tennessee ultimately lost 34-26 and falls into a tie with the Colts at 3-4, good for third place in the AFC South.

5. Kevin Hogan runs away from the Bengals

There might not be a more emotionally devastating franchise than the Cleveland Browns. They were lovable losers — in  way — for years but now that the culture has inexplicably changed to a winning one, the Browns are even more tragic. This season has been that notion in a nutshell, as Cleveland was forced to use their sixth quarterback of the season.

Like his predecessors, Kevin Hogan showed some early flashes before the Browns faded away. Hogan tore off a giant touchdown run to bring Cleveland within a score of the Bengals at the time. It was all downhill from there, but at least Hogan gave Browns fans something to cheer about, if only for a fleeting moment.
