Towards the end of Bill O'Brien's press conference today, he was asked about the craziest Halloween costume he's seen from a player or coach. I followed up asking if he was there for the infamous Bill Belichick pirate look... "With the roller skating? Yeah, we weren't invited to that though. Assistant coaches, that was him. We were working. They went and had a roller skating party, we were game planning. I don't think the assistant coaches were invited to that one. If you noticed, I don't think there were any assistant coaches in that. I don't know...I wasn't on the invite list." @newftbj @BCEagleAction

Bill O'Brien, who turns 57 tomorrow: "Once you reach the age of 50, you don’t celebrate birthdays. I apologize. I’m not trying to offend anybody. I am not a birthday guy. That’s just the way it goes. There’s other things. I like Christmas. I like holidays. I love Thanksgiving, the Fourth of July. But I’m just not a real big birthday guy."

Well End Of Service might be real for UNITE

Under the radar nugget from this game yesterday. Hamlin had 2 critical tackles to halt explosives. The online hate this dude has received over the years is crazy. One of the more reliable depth DBs in the league. Has his shortcomings but will always be a willing tackler.

Jalen Hurts was told by doctors not to sleep after his initial diagnosis of a superficial blood clot while in London. Hurts stayed awake for roughly 36 hours before starting against the Jaguars. (per @TomPelissero)
