Rodgers' best game, Russ' pick-six and more: Barnwell on a weird Week 7

Every NFL Sunday has a few weird, unexpected moments or performances pop up amid the slate. From what I saw, Week 7 had more than the usual bunch. There were fullback option pitches and game plans rendered irrelevant by weather. The Dolphins nearly won. The Chargers found a new way to lose a close game. Both of those occurrences seem pretty strange.

So, after noticing weird tidbits and stories I wanted to write about throughout Sunday afternoon, I'm devoting today's column to hitting the surprises and weird moments from Sunday's action. These are in no particular order, but I'm going to start with an epic performance from a quarterback who didn't expect to have much help on Sunday:

Russ' pick-six | Rodgers goes off
Jones' four TDs | Edmonds' career day
