It was Rivalry Week in college football and Just Another Regular Week Of Superior Football in the NFL, so we had plenty to distract us from the toxic levels of family time and turkey farts. If you missed anything because you decided to go shopping with a bunch of strangers, or travel the country being a Grade-A dickbag to a poor shower curtain ring salesman who just wants a friend because his wife died and he doesn't know how to cope with life, we've got you covered.

Jaylen Walton turned nothing into a 91-yard something with an amazing scampering touchdown run against Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl. He reversed course over nearly the entire width of the field before finding room to turn on the jets down the sideline and lead Ole Miss to a big win over their intra-state rival.Rams Players Show Solidarity With Ferguson
Before the start of Sunday's game at home, the Rams took the field showing the "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" gesture that has become associated with protests over Ferguson cop Darren Wilson's killing of Mike Brown. Athletes don't often make statements like this on such a big stage, so this was pretty cool.Kyle Orton Celebrates by Packing a Lipper, Johnny Manziel Looks Like a Corpse
Kyle Orton has been back for a while, but he officially came all the way back Sunday against the Browns. WIth the final seconds ticking away and a victory at hand, Orton packed a tin and stuffed a whole wad of chew into his maw on the sideline. It was in stark relief to poor Johnny Manziel who found himself on his back in his own end zone in a not-quite-so-fun (for him) GIF.Jameis Winston Starts Game Horribly, As UsualThis is not so much a habit, as it is a way of life for Florida State. They just play awful, terrible games and somehow wind up winning them all. It happened again this Saturday against Florida when Jameis Winston was picked off three times to start the game, and the Seminoles still hung around and won. One of these days they will eat it; they have to.

Alabama allowed ten points in 90 seconds at the end of the first half and Nick Saban was not pleased. Auburn toasted 'Bama on a big plays all night, and Nick Marshall and Sammie Coates hooked up twice to take a couple years off Saban's life. Much like FSU, however, the Tide survived and won the Iron Bowl.Controversial Call Ends as it ShouldWhich is to say, it didn't really matter. The call on the field was probably incorrect, and shouldn't have been reviewed because Auburn seemed to get a play off before officials were alerted. It was reviewed, however, and after it was upheld, the Tigers missed out on a sure touchdown when a wide-open Duke Williams dropped a pass in the end zone. So everyone wins. Except for Auburn, who lost the game.So Many One-Handed Catches
Torrey Smith had the guy-in-a-western-twirling-his-gun-on-his-finger equivalent of catches to get the Ravens on the board early Sunday. It was made possible by another great one-handed catch from Marlon Brown.J.J. Watt Keeps Catching Touchdowns
Stupid opinions on selfies aside, this dude is fun to watch.The Giants Are Not a Good Football Team
Thank goodness for Odell Beckham, Jr., because this Giants team is unwatchable except for him and things like this. You can practically hear the Yakety Sax.
