NFL Notes

Saturday Night Live torched the NFL in its season premiere ... The Ravens' Steve Smith followed through on his promise to light up his former team and his tipped pass may have been Sunday's most exciting play... Bears WR Brandon Marshall put a nasty shake on Packers DB Davon House but it was not enough to prevent a Green Bay rout... Geno Smith took out some anger on a fan after a Jets loss ... Reggie Wayne got fined by the league's fashion police ... J.J. Watt's scored another touchdown, this one on an interception return. Check out more of the Week 4 action in this gallery. (See the full-size version here.)
