Week 1 just started and football is already really, really weird.

First Antonio Brown kicked a guy in the face, then the Jets-Raiders game featured a bicycle kick.

Raiders running back Maurice Jones-Drew was clotheslined by Quinton Coples and lost control of the ball. Luckily for Oakland, Jones-Drew ended up kicking the ball backwards as he fell, right into the hands of quarterback Derek Carr. It was a loss of 11 yards, but the Raiders kept possession.

On the very next play, an offensive lineman made a reception on a tipped pass.
