6. Quincy Enunwa won’t be denied

The New York Jets aren’t a great football team, but wide receiver Quincy Enunwa still plays hard every Sunday for the lowly Jets. He made several great plays in the passing game for the Jets. His most impressive involved shaking off three Cleveland Browns defenders to find the end zone for six.

Cleveland isn’t talented, but plays hard. Enunwa just plays harder. With Eric Decker out for the season in New York, somebody has to step up in the passing game for the Jets. So far, that guy has been Enunwa. He could be a special player for the Jets going forward. This touchdown was all him.

5. Seattle trickery

Russell Wilson is not himself at quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. Playing behind a porous offensive line has severely limited what he can do offensively in 2016. He’s clearly playing through pain. He might need somebody to help him move the chains this year.

Seattle has a former college quarterback in Tanner McEvoy who connects with C.J. Prosise for a huge 43-yard gain. If Wilson can’t throw touchdowns to galvanize this struggling Seahawks offense, might it be in offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell’s best interest to have McEvoy sling the pigskin at least once a game just to make something happen? This pass was beautiful from the former Wisconsin Badgers signal caller.
