Throughout the game, Franks was seen visibly shushing the crowd — at home. Usually you see opponents come in and shush the crowd as a way to rile up the opponents. But it’s very rare to see a player, let alone a standout position like quarterback, turn against his own “fans.” MORE: Week 11 college football scores and highlights But Franks had a reason to not appreciate the cheers from the home crowd....

Houston’s sputtering Oilers are exhibit A. Eight years ago the county government spent $100 million to renovate the Astrodome in order to keep the team.

As expected, EA Sports FIFA upgraded his card from 81 in FIFA 17 to 84 in FIFA 18, thereby making him one of the top 100 players in FIFA 18.
