Bucs running back Charles Sims told me this week that he's bothered by people thinking he's not capable of plowing between the tackles. "Everyone says that," he said. He told me he believes he is though. Looks like he was right. He showed he can handle short-yardage and run inside on that touchdown.

The Eagles used underneath smash routes (with an inside clear-out) on the Carson Wentz TD pass to Jordan Matthews. With the middle of the field open -- and Matthews working away from the defender's leverage -- Wentz could identify the target and get the ball out. Smart call in the red zone. Eagles jump to a 10-0 lead on the Steelers in the second quarter.
Jeremy Fowler ESPN Staff Writer
Wentz things are happening again. Steelers getting minimal pressure on the rookie. He's sitting back and waiting for guys to get open.

Bucs safety Chris Conte recovered a fumble that Lavonte David knocked out of Kenny Britt's hands. Conte told me this week that they were so eager to get back out onto the field after the Arizona game. "That wasn't the team that we are." Bucs leading 13-10 with 8:46 to go in the first half. Approaching Rams territory right now.
Dan Graziano ESPN Staff Writer
The Eagles' offense appears designed for Carson Wentz's comfort (even though it was actually designed for Sam Bradford's). So many quick-hit options near the line of scrimmage, and he has clear command of them. Spreading Steelers' defense out for an early 10-0 lead here in Philly.

This quarterback.. And the playcalling.. Never expected it.. Man, Carson Wentz is making this fun..

KC Joyner @KCJoynerTFS
Said it earlier, saying it again - Carson Wentz may be the best rookie QB I've seen in 14 years of breaking down games.
Nick Wagoner ESPN Staff Writer
The good news for the 49ers is they continue to get takeaways, coming up with a fumble at Seattle's 30. The bad news is takeaways seem to be the only way they can generate points and they settled for a field goal after the fumble recovery. Four of San Francisco's five scoring drives last week came after a turnover. Still have to find ways to get drives without the defense doing most of the work.
Adam Caplan @caplannfl
