Seven teams remain undefeated after a wild Sunday of NFL action. The Rams, 49ers, Raiders, Panthers, Broncos, Cardinals and Buccaneers all improved to 2 and 0 with victories.

(Additional out) Plus, Sunday featured another round of lame taunting calls in the league’s continued effort to suck all of the fun out of the game.
