So without further ado: Welcome to the National Fail League, Week 9 edition.

Chris Boswell


Late in Pittsburgh's loss to Baltimore, Mike Tomlin called for Chris Boswell to attempt an onside kick to extend the team's chances. This is not how you onside kick.

Golden Tate and Andrew Sendejo

Gotta respect Sendejo's effort here, but the safety wound up getting the worst of this collision at the goal line on Sunday. To add insult to injury, Tate scored, and the Vikings went on to lose their third straight.

Travis Kelce

Travis Kelce may have had a gripe in arguing against a missed DPI call on Sunday, but took it a step too far in arguing with the nearby official -- leading to a flag on himself. But proceeding to throw his towel at the official -- while hilarious -- only makes him look childish, and could further result in a fine from the league.

A squirrel

The Packers were attempting to cut into Indianapolis' lead, they were interrupted by a pesky stranger who found its way onto the field at Lambeau, halting action for a few minutes before it was escorted away. Maybe Green Bay has it to blame for the home loss.

Antonio Allen

Whether or not the player was actually offsides is debatable, but the officials ruled that Antonio Allen jumped ahead of the line on a fourth-quarter kickoff, giving Kenyan Drake room to run back a return that finished in the end zone -- sealing the divisional victory for Miami just moments after New York took the lead with a field goal.
