On Thursday night, the Bears’ Danny Trevathan leveled a violent hit on the Packers’ Davante Adams that required a hospital visit for Adams. It was a sobering opening to a crucial week in the NFL, which included tight matchups between the Panthers and the Patriots, the Bills and the Falcons, and the Rams and the Cowboys. Meanwhile, Miami may be rethinking its Jay Cutler experiment after the QB turned in a lackluster performance in London, and the Texans look to have a real star on their hands in Deshaun Watson.
