The Steelers defeated the Colts, 26-24, in front of a national television audience. Among those watching NBC's "Sunday Night Football" was Roddy White, star wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons, and for some reason, White took to Twitter to take a shot at new Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley.

Roddy's Tweet

If it seems weird to you that a Falcons wide receiver had something to say about a Steelers coach during a game they played against the Colts, you're not alone. Even weirder, Roddy White, to my knowledge, has never been coached by Todd Haley. His whole career has been with the Falcons. Haley has coached for the Jets, Bears, Cowboys, Cardinals, Chiefs and Steelers.

Whether or not he has a point and Todd Haley really does think the show is about him, I don't know. I don't know how Roddy White would know, either. I'm sure he has friends around the league, and I'm sure everyone talks. Maybe it's just an observation White made from observing Haley from afar. Maybe their paths have crossed at some point.

In any case, it's so strange for White to interject himself here. He's not a Steeler. Haley isn't his coach. Whatever Todd Haley believes or doesn't believe about who's responsible for winning football games, I can't imagine why White would make it his concern.

Despite a rookie season that stomped on any reasonable expectations, Andy Dalton still hears questions about his arm strength.

And sure, before he was drafted and through his first year with the Bengals, he was lauded mostly for things like leadership, decision-making and intangibles. Maybe he wasn't out there launching any Jeff George-style 70-yard frozen ropes.

But it's not like he had the arm of a little girl, either. It's not like he's out there throwing like Carl Lewis. His arm is at least adequate, as he showed last night on this 50-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Green.

That's a pretty throw. About 50 yards in the air, it got there quickly enough, and it didn't look like Dalton had to muster every bit of strength in his body to make it.

And after the game, Dalton made sure that those who think he's got a noodle-arm knew about it. Via Cincinnati.com:

The normally reserved Dalton, who is not known for colorful quotes, did take delight in the touchdown: "My arm feels great, and you can tell everybody that it's not even close to what I've got if I need it."

I'd like to think that at that point, Dalton got up, ripped his shirt off and asked Mean Gene what he was going to do when the 24-inch pythons ran wild on him. There's no mention of it in the article, though. He probably didn't do that.

You know what would be a bad feeling? Walking out to the parking lot and seeing your car wrapped in layers and layers of plastic wrap.

You know what would be even worse? Working get all that sticky, clingy, nasty plastic wrap off of your car … and then seeing that your car has also been filled with shipping peanuts.

Messed up car

This is life for Brenton Bersin, wide receiver with the Carolina Panthers. The undrafted rookie out of Wofford left his keys out in view of long snapper JJ Jansen …

… and he paid for it. NFL veterans are animals. Bersin was left with nothing to do but helplessly tweet this:

The chaotic sea of poorly-folded gym clothes you see above is actually the collective wardrobe of the Denver Broncos rookies. Why is it scattered about a hotel lobby? You'd have to ask the Denver Broncos veterans.

The picture was taken by Brock Osweiler, himself a rookie Bronco. It was accompanied by this tweet:

Pranksters in the hotel 2nite! Any guesses on which position group threw all the rookies clothes down into the lobby?

I'm going to say that this looks like the work of defensive backs. Osweiler never answered the question on Twitter, so we're left to guess. I suppose it's not going to matter a whole lot when all the rookies have to go down there and sort clothes for an hour. I bet about six guys will claim the sweet Zubaz pants in the bottom left.

Getty ImagesJacksonville Jaguars head coach Mike Mularkey doesn't like endzone celebrations. He prefers the old school method ‒ you score a touchdown, and you calmly give the ball to the nearest official. You act like you've been there before.

To that end, Mularkey vowed to donate $250 to the Ronald McDonald House every time a Jaguar scores a touchdown and eschews an elaborate endzone dance. He explained his policy:

"I did that in Buffalo," Mularkey explained to local media. "It came about when they started giving excessive celebrating fifteen yard penalties. I thought, how can I make sure our guys don't do something ridiculous and do that and create a penalty that will really hurt our football team? I just thought it's a classy and professional way of doing things by handing the ball to the official by saying 'Hey hang onto this. I'll be back again'.

It is classy, but Mularkey should be careful. With Blaine Gabbert at quarterback and Maurice Jones-Drew nowhere to be found, this could end up costing him as much as $1,000 this season.

It's hard to dislike any policy that benefits the Ronald McDonald House, but I'm also in favor of football being fun and the expression of basic human emotions.

I don't love touchdown dances, but imagine this scenario. You're an anonymous Jaguars offensive lineman. It's week one against the Vikings, and you're down by five with less than a minute left in the fourth quarter. Rashad Jennings takes a handoff and fumbles, and you pick it up, and rumble your 320-lb. frame 12 yards into the endzone. Jags win. Big man scores touchdown.

Getty ImagesThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers had 123 penalties last season, which ranked fourth in the NFL, behind only the Raiders (of course), Seahawks and dirty, dirty Lions. For head coach Greg Schiano, that amount of penalties is — well, actually, it's just about right. Greg Schiano is the rare coach who embraces penalties.

Via Sports Radio Interviews, Schiano told WDAE in Tampa that he doesn't want his team to lead the league in penalties, but he doesn't want a bunch of penalty-free choir boys, either. Get out there, get dirty and draw some laundry, boys.

"It's a fine line between being a physical, aggressive football team and getting a flag. You gotta be careful. I don't ever want to be the least penalized team in the league, because I don't think you're trying hard enough then. But I certainly do want to be in the top 10. That's where you should be. You should be — five through 10 is a great place to be as a penalized team."

I'm not sure if Greg Schiano ranks No. 1 the most penalized team in the league, or No. 1 as the least penalized team in the league. In either case, he wants his Bucs out there picking up some penalty yardage.

So where's the best place to be? There were two teams last year tied with the least amount of penalties in the NFL with 76. One was the Indianapolis Colts, and no, you wouldn't want to be them. Their defense had all the aggression and physicality of the team horse dancing event at London 2012, and they went 2-14.

But the other was the Green Bay Packers, and it was pretty good to be them last year, right up until the NFC championship game. The Packers, with only 76 penalties, play some defense.

APAll around NFL training camps, players are punching each other in the face with few or no repercussions. Meanwhile, in Minnesota, there is one guy who can't even be touched, under penalty of immediate job loss.

I speak of Adrian Peterson, Minnesota's superstar running back, who's recovering from surgery to repair a blown ACL and MCL. He recently returned to practice, about a month ahead of schedule, but the Vikings don't want him having any contact with anyone else just yet.

The rules were explained pretty clearly to Jamarca Sanford, a fourth-year defensive back for the Vikings. This was the tweet from Dan Wiederer, Vikings beat writer for the Star Tribune:

Jamarca Sanford on orders given to the D about Adrian Peterson: "The rules are simple. Do not touch 28. If you touch him, you're cut."

Not all NFL players are created equally. No disrespect to Jamarca Sanford, but you could pummel his face with a tire iron for about a half hour, and the coaches would probably applaud your aggressiveness.

Peterson is a protected species, though. He is the offense. He is the show.

The NFL is marketing some new fashion-forward gear for women under the slogan, "It's My Team," and one of the high-powered ladies modeling for it is former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

And that might be the absolute best that a 57-year-old can possibly look in a Cleveland Browns jersey (with the possible exception of Brandon Weeden). I'd imagine that Josh Cribbs feels pretty flattered, seeing his No. 16 on Condi.

Alongside her is Serena Williams, sporting a Dolphins T-shirt. In her case, the "It's My Team" tagline carries extra significance, since the Dolphins are literally her team. Her and sister Venus are part owners of the franchise. She rocks her NFL gear pretty well, too.

Melania Trump and Peta Murgatroyd will also appear in the ad campaign.
