Golden Nuggets: Who to watch while 49ers are on bye week

So how did you guys like Thursday Night Football? I didn't watch it because the Kansas City Chiefs are easily the worst team in the NFL and the San Diego Chargers are getting worse every time they play. No, I won't be watching any football this week, and instead, will concentrate on NHL stuff ... oh. Wait. Nevermind.

Guess I will have to watch a game on Sunday, for my sanity. I just don't know who to watch at this point. I'm not really excited by any of the teams in the NFL right now. I like watching the Ravens, but they're not nearly as fun without Ray Lewis, so what's your go-to team? I consider the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to be my "second" team, but they ... kinda suck a lot this season, and everybody that's good on their team keeps getting injured.

Anyway, let's just jump to your links for the day.
