Smooth Moves by Bigg Squad

• The Toyota Hall of Fame would have its eyes on you for this week's win. But the Toyota Hall of Fame doesn't have eyes. Obviously.

Toyota Roster Tune-up

• The 5.00 points scored by Eddie Lacy was just 41.3% of his 12.12-point projection.
• Both of the starting WRs scored below their projected points.
