Aaron Rodgers found himself on the other end of an unnecessary roughness penalty Sunday. And the official couldn’t help but laugh.
Down 12-0 to Buffalo in the third quarter, Rodgers threw an interception — his second of the day — to Bills cornerback Christian Benford. As Benford returned the ball, Rodgers was one of two New York Jets players who pushed him out of bounds. 
Apparently, though, he made contact a little bit late. Referee Clete Blakeman flagged the QB for unnecessary roughness, and he chuckled while doing it.

However, the Cowboys defense laid a couple of big hits on Pickett, the second of which knocked Pickett out of the game.

Currently, college football does not have a commissioner. But James Franklin has just the guy for the job.
While speaking to reporters at Fiesta Bowl Media Day, the Penn State head coach nominated Nick Saban for the job of overseeing the entire sport. Franklin said the legendary Alabama coach is the “obvious choice” for leading college football in the right direction during this unprecedented era of NIL, conference realignment and the transfer portal.
