Mariota is hurt. I understand being tough, but it looks like it's affecting his play.

I love how Marshawn Lynch is mocking the NFL with these commercials!

I think subconsciously I got the chocolate to comfort me after that Seahawks game ?
— April Ross (@AprilRossBeach) October 19, 2015

Julian Edelman is slowly becoming one of my favorite WRs. His competitiveness, route running, and consistency is addictive.
— Anthony Armstrong (@MrArmstrong13) October 19, 2015

The best defense the Colts has played... Is their offenses ability to stay on the field for almost 20 minutes!!

Lol everyone talking about the football game on. I'm done watching football after what happened to my boys in blue on Saturday night ?

When you're be clean and you kick both your legs out and hope somebody trips over them! pic.twitter.com/PrmMpFITNJ

The Colts tried a unique formation on 4th down.
It didn't work. #NEvsIND http://t.co/Eh0HXpFV00
— NFL (@NFL) October 19, 2015

What type of play call was that lol
— Chris Harris (@ChrisHarrisJr) October 19, 2015

What the hell was that!!!!
— Damien Woody (@damienwoody) October 19, 2015

What was that?
— mark schlereth (@markschlereth) October 19, 2015

Dumbest play EVER!!!
— Bernard Pollard Jr (@Crushboy31) October 19, 2015

Too cute @Colts

.@Colts y’all got some explaining to do!!
— Damien Woody (@damienwoody) October 19, 2015

Pretty sure Colt was not expecting the long snapper to snap that. Looked like a hard count to draw them offsides.
— Cassandra, Irredeemable Pudgy Nobody (@ChrisWarcraft) October 19, 2015

I'm betting that one was on the long snapper. You can see it in the replay - no idea that the ball was coming back.
— Cassandra, Irredeemable Pudgy Nobody (@ChrisWarcraft) October 19, 2015

If it was the gunner as snapper, then yeah that makes sense. He either misheard the call or forgot, and snapped it instead of sitting on it.
— Cassandra, Irredeemable Pudgy Nobody (@ChrisWarcraft) October 19, 2015

I think that play was a new NFL initiative Let a drunk dude call the play. I don't think it has legs

It's more probable than not that was the worst fake punt call I've ever seen in a game

And finally, Dodgers pitcher Brett Anderson and more on the Mets’ Game 2 win over the Cubs:

YOWZERS!!! HOME RUN!!!!!!!!!! Murphy!! #Mets #LGM pic.twitter.com/RVIxDWG7OF
— New York Mets (@Mets) October 19, 2015

Now I'm feeling pretty good about Daniel Murphy being 2 of the 9 outs I got...
— Brett Anderson (@_BAnderson30_) October 19, 2015

Murphy must be a created player ?
— BrandonSpikes55 (@brandonspikes55) October 19, 2015

I guess Daniel Murphy just needed to see playoff pitching to get going. Wow! #postseason
— Rob Wooten (@RobWooten35) October 19, 2015

Daniel Murphy just unloaded! 3-0 #Mets. We are still working in the bottom of the 1st. #LGM pic.twitter.com/yQ9pgZ4DVQ
— New York Mets (@Mets) October 19, 2015

#DanielMurphy WOW! On fire this October & on fire for Jesus too! Love it! ⚾️ When do you just stop pitching to him? #UnintentionalWalk @Mets
— Jennie Finch (@JennieFinch) October 19, 2015

Daniel Murphy be turnt up! I love it! #Sauce??
— Dee Strange-Gordon (@FlashGJr) October 19, 2015

When the whole crowd chanting your name like that...you gonna get a hit for sure! #Murph
— Dee Strange-Gordon (@FlashGJr) October 19, 2015

Starting to like that Murphy bat drop #NLCS

Curtain call. #Murphy #Mets #LGM pic.twitter.com/q2S4IWwbCm
— New York Mets (@Mets) October 19, 2015

Is Daniel Murphy in Rounders right now? Dude is coming up huge. "Pay the man his money"
— Chris Hatcher (@handlebars41) October 19, 2015

This version of Daniel Murphy was a very shrewd postseason pickup by the Mets
— Brandon McCarthy (@BMcCarthy32) October 19, 2015

I haven't been watching... Has #DanielMurphy done anything lately? LETS GO @Mets !!!!
— Dwight Gooden (@DocGooden16) October 19, 2015

Arrieta has a new hat on . Can't changes hats in the postseason if your going good baby #NLCS
— Dontrelle Willis (@DTrainMLB) October 19, 2015

WHAT A CATCH, @cgrand3!!!! #Mets #LGM pic.twitter.com/bZOw4jWzQv
— New York Mets (@Mets) October 19, 2015

.@cgrand3 Pitchers BFF! What a catch!
— Jennie Finch (@JennieFinch) October 19, 2015

Nice outing for @Noahsyndergaard. His final line. #Mets #LGM pic.twitter.com/SCUNQYf2PT
— New York Mets (@Mets) October 19, 2015

Thorrrrrrrr was overpowering, just like I was expecting. He got a little fatigued at the end, but he got the win for the Mets
— Pedro Martinez (@45PedroMartinez) October 19, 2015

Everything it's going right for the #Mets. Everything it's clicking: Defense pitching hitting
— Pedro Martinez (@45PedroMartinez) October 19, 2015

Thorrrrr kept the ball low and well located. Didn't have to bother manipulating the sinker. He ran the ball quickly and effectively.
— Pedro Martinez (@45PedroMartinez) October 19, 2015

When you're in this situation, and you're flying with your team to the opposite city, you don't worry too much about the game just happened
— Pedro Martinez (@45PedroMartinez) October 19, 2015

Mets & Jets win! Great day.
— SLOWMO (@KyleAnderson5) October 19, 2015

Rally cap on! @cubs #pma
— player/coach (@CMPunk) October 19, 2015

Lots of baseball left! Excited for these game at Wrigley. I believe. Love my @cubs !! #wearegood
— player/coach (@CMPunk) October 19, 2015

Tough losses but 3 games in front of the best fans in baseball coming up. Show your pride tomorrow by wearing Cubs gear. (1/2)
— Anthony Rizzo (@ARizzo44) October 19, 2015

I'll surprise one fan around Chicago with 2 tickets to Wednesday’s game. But you have to be showing your Cubs pride to win. #thisisntover
