Tyrod Taylor: "It's awesome to see (Joe Flacco) still playing at a high level. ... We spent four years together. Excited for him, just not this week."

Jets rookie CB Azareye'h Thomas played a career-high 27 snaps on defense against the Panthers in Week 7, and he flashed the versatility that made him a third-round pick (No. 73) in April's NFL Draft, surrendering 2 receptions and registering 2 PBUs.

Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco joked that he no longer feels sorry for the guy he sees sitting by himself and eating a meal.

The Bengals quarterback said he used to "feel so bad" for guys eating at restaurants by themselves, and he's now realized "that dude was in heaven"

But the fact that it didn’t really gain traction during the game itself sort of speaks to what a nothing-burger it probably really is.
