4. Drew Brees' old heir knows exactly what defenses are doing.

@Chargers QB Philip Rivers shows @Raiders no respect today, mocking them here: “Nice defense, huh?” He then yells for all to hear which route he wants Virgil Green to run! pic.twitter.com/4WvevH18Tp

5. Just another Patrick Mahomes II dime to start your day.

I have the best job in the world. LOOK AT THIS.

Knows he can't step into the throw without getting smacked, so he just flicks his wrist and the ball travels 30 yards. Again, you cannot defend this. pic.twitter.com/rVrX7FMelX
