I was wondering what Trump's team-owner friends would say about the Donald wanting to negatively affect their business thus their ad revenue. Because for them as for everybody: "Playing with my money is like playing with my emotions" as was perfectly expressed by "Big Worm". Looking at it cynically & judging by Jerry Jones kneeling tonight (even if it was before the anthem), looks like they're not too happy with Trump telling them what to do:
Monday Night Football: despite great effort by Fitzgerald:

http://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/250210/carson-palmer-larry-fitzgerald-connection-not-enough-for-cardinals Cardinals lost to the Dallas Cowboys 17 to 28. Arizona is now 1-2, Dallas 2-1:
"Dak Prescott leads Cowboys to hard-fought win"
Elsewhere in the NFL: of course yesterday #TakeTheKnee was trending on Twitter as a direct result from Trump insulting NFL players & pretty much daring them to protest during the opening ceremonies of football games. Therefore, in response the players (& sometimes even the owners) protested in a peaceful manner (I wrote a post about it yesterday):https://genxmillennlatino.blogspot.com/2017/09/taketheknee-trump-picking-fights.html
Also happening yesterday, the Giants lost yet again in a close game 24 to 27 to the Eagles & are now 0-3.
Lions had a controversial loss to the Falcons 30 - 26:
"The Lions are no strangers to the controversial losses. They suffered another one after what looked like a game-winning touchdown catch by Golden Tate was overturned by replay review with eight seconds on the clock.
The Lions had no timeouts remaining and, by rule, a review triggers a 10-second run-off, which ended the game.
As former head of officials Dean Blandino explained on the broadcast and later on Twitter, the rule was put into place because it’s unrealistic for a team to scramble to the line, get set and snap the ball within 10 seconds.
There’s just one tiny problem with Blandino’s theory: The Lions proved it wrong just last year…"
Saints beat the Panthers 34 to 13:"Kenny Vaccaro, Saints' defense bounce back after hitting bottom"
"CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- No unit in the NFL had a worse start to this season than the New Orleans Saints' defense, which allowed more than 1,000 yards and 65 points in a pair of lopsided losses.
And, by extension, no individual player probably had a tougher week than Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro, who was the subject of trade rumors before being temporarily benched last Sunday.
So did anyone have a better Week 3 than the Saints’ defense, which shut down the Carolina Panthers in a 34-13 rout?
Or Vaccaro, who intercepted one pass and tipped one up that led to another pick by teammate Marcus Williams?"
Bears beat the Steelers 23 to 17, & are now 1-2 before facing the 2-1 Packers on this week's installment of Thursday Night Football:"Some thoughts and observations after watching the film and going through the stats of the Bears’ 23-17 overtime time against the Steelers on Sunday (as previously shared on Twitter)":

Patriots finally have a winning record this season 2-1 by beating the Texans 36 to 33. But according to this columnist:
"Borges: Despite win, Patriots defense ugly as sin"

Redskins beat the Raiders during Sunday night football 27 to 10.
"Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins (2-1) put on a show on Sunday night, shutting downDerek Carr and the Oakland Raiders (2-1), 27-10, at FedEx Field in Week 3."
