New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins may have taken the crown for commitment this year. He dressed up as an inflatable chess bishop and even walked diagonally throughout the team facility to stay true to the bit. His Halloween magic seemed to carry over to game day. Hollins hauled in seven receptions for 89 yards during New England’s 32–13 blowout victory over the Cleveland Browns.

Meanwhile, Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs turned heads with his spot-on recreation of WWE legend Jeff Hardy, complete with the face paint and signature arm sleeves. Later, Gibbs and his girlfriend Nicole took things to another level with a joint costume as Neytiri and Jake Sully from Avatar, earning plenty of social media love for the detail and effort.

Over in Los Angeles, Rams rookie linebacker Shaun Dolac brought laughter to the locker room by dressing up as none other than his head coach, Sean McVay, complete with a fake headset, clipboard, and the coach’s signature sideline expression.

And in New York, the Manning family’s Halloween tradition continued. Eli Manning’s son, Charlie, dressed up as his favorite Giants quarterback ever, Jaxson Dart, the man leading the franchise into its next chapter, causing some pain to his father. “Guess he got his wish,” Eli joked on X.

And fittingly, Dart himself chose a heroic theme for the day, dressing up as Superman while visiting one of the team’s MVPs (Most Valiant Patients), Giuseppe, at the Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital during the Giants’ annual Halloween visit.
