Titans show strength in Sunday's game against Chiefs
St. Louis Rams, Chicago Bears become hot teams for fans' rosters this weekend
Plenty of points went up on scoreboards this weekend both in decisive victories and in nail-bitters. Here's what you need to know about this weekend's NFL action.

True story:

my fantasy league, who shall remain nameless, failed to start either of these backs, who rushed for a combined 317 yards and four touchdowns.
