Rodgers Climbs All-Time Leaderboards; Burrow-gate; Heisman Hopeful QBs Get Exposed

To some, he's "12." To others, he "8." No matter which number, Aaron Rodgers is playing with mojo again and continuing to cement his legacy. Also, it's time a full investigation is launched on the Bengals for seemingly intentionally always giving Joe Burrow a garbage offensive line and then it always resultling in him getting hurt. It's Andrew Luck 2.0. But I digress. In college football, Arch and Lagway fall flat while another SEC QB assumes the throne.

Florida Gators QB DJ Lagway had an all-time horrible game with 5 interceptions; Gators disappointingly fall to 1-2 while Lagway’s Heisman candidacy crumbles
