A few brief thoughts on NFL Week 8

 And now this week's edition of The NFL In So Many Words, the irresponsibly unpredictable Blob feature of which critics have said "Wait, what?", and also "Wait ... WHAT??":

1. "Wait, what?" (Colts fans, upon watching Carson Wentz, after 830 attempts or whatever without an interception, throw the dumbest interception in the history of football)

2. "Wait ... WHAT??" (Titans defensive back Elijah Molden, after Wentz flooped the ball into the air and into Molden's arms for a walk-in pick six)

3. "Wait, what?" (Colts fans, after watching Frank Reich hand the ball to Jonathan Taylor, the NFL's second-leading rusher, just 16 times)

4. "Wait ... WHAT??" (Titans fans, after learning the league's leading rusher, Derrick Henry, could possibly be lost for the season after injuring his foot against the Colts)

5. "Wait, what?" ( Fans of the Super Bowl-bound Bengals, after watching their team lose to the Jets)

6. "Wait ... WHAT??" (Fans of the Super Bowl-bound Bengals, after watching their team lose to some guy named Mike White, this week's Jets quarterback)

7. "Wait, what?" (Tom Brady, after losing to Jameis Winston)

8. "Wait ... WHAT??" (Tom Brady after losing to Winston, then seeing Winston carted off with a knee injury, then losing to Trevor Siemian, who replaced Winston and threw for 159 yards and a touchdown with no turnovers despite America's reaction: "He's still in the league?")

9. "Wait, what?" (Vikings fans, after watching the Cowboys beat their team in the last 51 seconds behind 325 passing yards and two second-half touchdowns from some guy named Cooper Rush)

10. "Wait ... WHAT??" (America, after realizing the Cowboys are now 7-1 and -- oh my God! -- in the Super Bowl conversation)
