Five quick hits — Raygun celebration caps off victory for Vikings, as Dallas holds unwanted NFL record

Topic:American Football
Camryn Bynum (24) of the Minnesota Vikings celebrates with an impersonation of Australian breaker Rachael Gunn.
Australia's Raygun is still making an impression in pop culture as the Vikings chose to emulate her Olympic performance to celebrate victory.
Meanwhile, all is not well in Big D as the Dallas Cowboys continue to fall, now with an NFL record no team wants.
These are the five quick hits from the action on Monday morning.
1. Raygun impersonation caps off victory for the Vikings
It seems the world cannot get enough of Raygun.
Australian Olympic breaker Rachael Gunn's much-maligned performance in Paris has been celebrated and mocked in the months since the Games.
References to Raygun have now made their way into the world of NFL celebrations.
Minnesota Vikings' defensive back Cam Bynum secured a late interception in his side's 12-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The interception all but sealed the game for the Vikings and Bynum chose to celebrate with a few of Raygun's signature moves from Paris.
Bynum rolled on the ground touching his toes, posed on his head, and then finished with the kangaroo pose.
Doubtful it would have scored a point in Paris, but did cap off the Vikings' seventh win of the season.
2. Kyler Murray's helmet goes flying after vicious sack
Left tackles in the NFL get paid handsomely to protect their quarterback.
When they miss their assignment it is bad news.
Arizona Cardinals' quarterback Kyler Murray was on the wrong end of a vicious sack in his team's big win over the New York Jets.
Quincy Williams (56) of the New York Jets hits Kyler Murray, knocking his helmet off.
Murray's helmet went flying in the second quarter when Jets' defensive end Quincy Williams breezed past the Cardinals' offensive line and levelled the quarterback for a nasty sack.
The hit was flush and violent, sending Murray's helmet off his head and flying a good couple of yards before hitting the turf.
Murray was fine to continue, but no coach wants to see their quarterback be whacked with those hits too often.
The Cardinals beat the Jets 31-6, as New York's miserable season continues to unravel.
3. The Chiefs' winning streak continues with a blocked field goal
It doesn't seem to matter if the Kansas City Chiefs play well or not — they just keep winning.
The defending Super Bowl champions moved to a perfect 9-0 with a gutsy 16-14 win over division rivals Denver.
The Broncos had a chance to win on the final play of the game when kicker Will Lutz stepped up to attempt a 35-yard field goal.
But the Chiefs simply refuse to lose.
Linebacker Leo Chenal leapt into the sky to get his hand on the ball and block the kick, maintaining Kansas City's perfect record.
The Chiefs have now won 15 consecutive games dating back to last season.
4. Cowboys' slump continues with unwanted NFL record
A season which started with so much optimism has spectacularly unravelled for the Dallas Cowboys.
The Cowboys would need something special to make the playoffs from here, slumping to 3-6 after being walloped by the Philadephia Eagles in Dallas.
Without starting quarterback Dak Prescott, the already suspect Dallas offence was toothless on Monday morning, AEDT.
The Cowboys racked up a measly 145 yards of total offence, and just 48 passing yards in the 34-6 loss.
The Eagles were able to bench starters, including quarterback Jalen Hurtz for the fourth quarter.
Dallas converted just three of their 14 third downs and gave up five turnovers.
This was the fifth consecutive home game for the Cowboys where they trailed by 20 points at some stage in the match — a new NFL record.
The Eagles meanwhile moved to 7-2, with a fifth consecutive win, to overtake Washington on top of the NFC East.
Philadelphia and Washington square off next week.
5. Jubilant Steelers celebrate a penalty like it was a touchdown
Sometimes a penalty is all you need.
The Pittsburg Steelers were buoyant and all smiles after their game-winning play against Washington.
Was it a late touchdown? An interception, a goal line stop?
No, it was a simple penalty.
With a mere 62 seconds left and the Steelers leading by one point, they had the ball midfield and faced 4th and 1.
If they make the first down they win the game. Fail, and Washington has a chance to march down field and kick the game-winning field goal.
Fortunately for Steelers fans Washington jumped offside. Penalty flags fly, the Steelers get the first down, and in unison they jumped around like they won a playoff game.
Sometimes the littlest things make the greatest impact.
