NFL Week Three Takeaways.
Only a cluster of trends showed signs of a team's identity in Week Three of NFL Football. The Ravens again succumbed to Their Inability to Finish Games. Somehow, They managed Not To Squander Another Double-digit.
Lead and Escape With A win over the Cowboys. But late-game collapses Continue. Prove The Norm For This Baltimore Team. Will the Chiefs continue to ride Good Fortune to another AFC West and Conference Championship? Not the Lions, Eagles, or Buccaneers, But The Seahawks Look Like They've secured the Sacred Space As the best team in the NFC. Powered By A Steady Performance By Geno Smith, Abn Impactful 4 Catches, 104 Yards From Dk Metcalf, including A 71-yard Touchdown Catch And Run Seattle Sweep Pass An Ailing Miami Dolphins Team In North West America.
Two Years Ago, The Titans Had Both Malik Willis And Will Levis On Their Rosters As Heir Apparent To Ryan Tannehill. Both Former Day Two Picks Levis Look Far Superior To Willis. The Two shared a similar profile, But Levis Lookec liked the superior Models When They Played football. In Two Weeks of Unquestined Starter Action, Levis Has Become A Meme Character, A MAyonaise Ad Model, And A Cautionary Of How Not Improvise With The Ball When A Play Breaks Down. He's A Charlie Chaplin Accidental Turnover Waiting To Happen. Willis Has Revealed His New Position As A Packers's Backup For The Packers, Waiting For Jordan Love To Return From Injury. The two Former Titans BAckups Met, And The Packers Put Away The Accident Prone Titans 30-14. Three Of Levi's Passes Contributed To Touchdowns In This Game. Unfortunately, One Of Those Touchdowns Went To The Packers On An Interception To Cornerback Jaire Alexander. Malik Willis, In Matt Lafluers Offense, Lead The Packers To A Second Victory In This Matchup Of Former Backups. To Levis Credit, He didn’t Play Terribly. Yes, He Produced His obligatory ill-advised Deep Ball Pass, Targeting Calvin Ridley. However, He Got The Titans In The EndZone Twice With The Pass On His Way To Finish 26/34 for 260 Passing Yards, with Little Help From His Run Game, Just 33 Yards On 11 Total Carries, And receiver Who Dont generate Convincing Separation. Levis Also Took Home 8 Sacks, some which fell on His Shoulders, But His Offensive Line did. The Titans Passed Up The Opportunity To Draft A Receiver In April Instead Opting For Offensive Line Help And So FAr They Need Both As They FAll To 0-3.
Vikings Vs. Texans
Sam Darnold Has Performed Well, turning over From A Potential Bridge Quarterback Role into a Full On Starter. The USC product Has The Arm And The Judgment. He Still Looks Devoid Of Feeling The Pocket and Takes Sack Misses Opening, but He’s The Okay-ist Quarterback In The League, And The Vikings Lead The NFC North despite A Tough Slate To Start The Season Continued Against The Texans.
Early on, the Vikings looked like the challenge for the Texans, a Super Bowl contender And Minnesota assumed a two-score lead before the end of the first quarter. One Thing Darnold Does Well and Unquestionably, He Gets The Ball To Justin Jefferson Finding Jefferson In The End zone For The First Touchdown Of The Game off Of Texans Turnover. CJ Stroud Has Earned Acclaim For His Carefulness With The Ball. He Set The NFL Record For The Most Pass attempts To Start A Career With A Pick(192) And Hadn’t Thrown One On The Early Season Of 2024 But After A Early Penalty On The Texans First Drive Stroud Has A Ball Tipped On A Passing Attempt And The Vikings Offense Took Over And score On A Short Field. Houston’s early offensive struggles would again lead to a Vikings score, and a missed field goal gave the Vikings a short field. On Darnolds’s first attempt at the Vikings'second drive, he hits Justin Jefferson for 28 Receiving Yards catch, which sets up a Sam Darnold to Aaron Jones touchdown and an early Vikings lead. Aaron Jones Generated Most Of The Vikings Early Offense, 10 Touches(Catching And Rushing) For 61. The Texans' Offense Struggled With Penalties, Forcing The Texans To Face Multiple Late Downs And Distances. The Texans' First Five Drives Went As follows: Missed FG, Punt, Punt, and End Of Half. The Vikings' Defense Would Hold The Texans To 0 Points. The Texans Would Get On The Board In The Second Half Powered By The Houston Dropback Game, CJ Stroud Would Go 4/5 With Two Big Splash Plays To Lead Houston Through The Throes Of The Vikings’ Secondary One To Tank Dell For 19’Yards another for 34 Yards To Nico Collins to Set Up A Catch And Run For Cam Akers For 8 Yards. Houston’s Offense Couldn’tCap Off Good Drives With Touchdown Because Of Early Penalties. The Vikings offense would get a lot of breaks, a tipped pass still gets caught, a long conversion gets converted, and fumbles roll into the hands of readied receivers. A Second CJ Stroud Pick In The Fourth Quarter Lead To A Vikings Scoring Drive, And The Vikings Would Ice The Game 34-7.
Darnold Finished 17/28 For 181 Passing Yards, a 119.2 Passer Rating, and Four Touchdowns. Justin Jefferson Drop Some Good Passes But Still Walked Away With 6 Catches For 81 Receiving Yards. Aaron Jones has 19 Carries, 102 Rushing Yards, and 5.4 Per Carry. Jonathan Greenard, The Former Texan Who Took Danielle Hunter's Place, Racked Up three Sacks For The Vikings Defense That Controlled This Game. The Texans Fell Early And Found Themselves forced To lean In On The Passing Game. Cj Stroud, 20/31 For 215, One Touchdown, Two Interceptions, 6.9 An attempt. Stefon Diggs Facing His Former Team The Vikings, He Caught 10 Passes For 94 Yards. Nico Collins Produced an Explosive Game Of Catches For 86 Yards, 21.5 Yards Per Catch. The Vikings'offense was Bent, but it didn't break on most Texans’ best drives. The Texans Haven’t Lost Their Allure As A Contender, But This Game Rattled The Trust In The Offensive Line and The Protection Scheme. The Vikings I Don’t Trust Just Yet. Sam Darnold Hadn’t Proven In The Pass That He Could Stay Consistently Productive For A Full Season. as Recently As His Carolina Stint In 2021 When Darnold Started; He Took Off To A Strong Start To The Season with Four Games Above 270 Yards Passing Before His Play Greatly Vacillated Before The Panthers Finished With A Losing Record. The Vikings Have Gotten Off To a Great Start Against Tough Competition, and If They Dont Defeat Themselves, we Could Witness This Year’s Houston From Last Year's surprise Division Winner.
Browns VS. Giants
The Browns’ Offense Has Struggled Greatly To start The Season, And Everyone Knows This Not Because They Watch Browns Football Or Because Cleveland’s Media Market Makes The Team “Happening” Inescapable But Because Deshaun Watson Will Generate Headline Any Time The Browns’ Performance Dips. Now, Watson Ranks Near The Bottom Of The League With A -0.255 EPA per dropback. Against The Giants, The Preview Meteorologist Predicted A slow Defensive Struggle, But On The Browns’ Opening Play Of The Browns’ First Drive After Forcing A Fumble On Special Watson For A Brief Moment, Reminded Everyone He’s Still Famous For Football. In Giant Territory 24 Yards Out From The End, Watson Hit Receiver Amari Cooper For A Touchdown Grab On Fade Route In Tight Coverage. Cooper spent most of the offseason holding out, the subject of a contract dispute, but without tight end David Njoku, Cooper resumed his place as the top target in the Browns' offense. Football Fans Also Know That Giants Quarterback Daniel Jones Has Struggled. He’s Got A -0.191 EPA per Drop dropback through Two Weeks, But He’s In A Big Market, A Less Than Contract Or Name To Defend That, Watson But The Giants Couldn’t Replicate The Browns' Quick Start. However, By Half, New York And The Giant's Pass attack Would Take Control Despite a strong Effort From The Browns’ Pass Rush Particularly.
The Giants Would Score Their First Touchdown On The End Of A 13 Play, 81 Yard, Nearly 8 Minute Drive Ending With Devin Singletary's Yard Touchdown. The Giants Would Take The Lead When Jones Lead The Team On 14 Play, 93 Yard Drive Started From Their Own 7 Yard Line With Jones Going 6/7, 74 Yards In Passing and Scrambling For 4 yards Before Hitting Rookie Malik Nabers In The Back Of The End Zone For Three Yard Touchdown. Nabers Looks Like The Early Favorite To Win Rookie Of The Year )3 Caught 8 Passes For 78 Receiving Yards. He’s Amassed More Than 50% Of The Giant's Air yards This Season. A Browns’ Turnover On The Next Drive, On A Watson Fumble Sack As He Quickly Reverted To The Much Maligned Quarterback We Come To accept. With a Short Field, The Giants Would Jump On The Short Field With Jones Going 4/4 For 30 Yards And A Five Yard Touchdown To Malik Nabers For His Second Touchdown. This Browns Defense, ranked number One Last season, Got Taken To Tour By One Of The worst offenses In Football In the First Half. By The ten 10-minute mark Of The Third Quarter, Brown's offense Managed 49 yards; that’s 25 More Than What They Produced From The game's First Play. The Giants Produced 254 212 In The Passing Game. The Brown Would Get As Close Ass 21-15 But A Tough Run By Giants’s Running back Devin Singletary Would Run Away From Multiple Giants’ Tacklers For A 43 Yard To Close Out The Game. Deshaun Watson Would Link Up With Amari Cooper For A 6th Yard Touchdown Early In The Fourth, And The Brown Tacked On A Two-Point Conversion. The Browns’ Defense Would Hold The Giants Scoreless In The Second Half, Even Forcing An Early Fumble On Singletary and a Slew of punts. The Browns’ offense couldn't hold a drive together, and Watson would lose another fumble and the Browns' offense. After A 49 49-yard touchdown Drive, The Browns Would Gain 49 Yards Total Over Their Next Three Drives. The Browns Would Try Two Fourth conversions: One Stopped By a Sack, another Stymied By Good Coverage. The Giants Pull Of Their First win Of The Season As The Browns Fall To Just 1-2. The Giants Generated 4.9 Yards Per Play Over 69 Plays. One Of These Forlorn Quarterbacks Had To Answer The Call For Their Teams, and Daniel Jones Did Just That 24/34 For 236 Passing Two touchdowns and A 109.4 Passer Rating. The Giant's Defensive Lineman and Pass Rushers Crushed The Day 8 Sacks and 17 QB hits. Deshaun Watson lost two fumbles and finished 21/37 for 196 passing yards. He posted two touchdowns but had a very inconsistent game. Amari Cooper Had His Best Game of The Year, 7 Catches For 86 Yards For Two Touchdowns. The Browns Enter This Season With Contender Hopes. After making the playoffs last season, They find themselves at the bottom of the division behind the undefeated Steelers, but they are still in range to fight The Ravens and Bengals. The Offensive Line Remains In Shambles, and The Browns Need A Healthy Nick Chubb To Take More Pressure Away From Watson. Browns Head Coach Kevin Stefanski Will Field Questions About Watson’s Place as A Starter And Jameis
Winston Made an Appearance In This One, But The Browns Appear Tethered To Watson For The Foreseeable Future. Daniel Jones Let His Play Do The Talking, And He’s Silenced Critics For Least One Week.
Falcons Vs. Chiefs
When The Falcons Fired Arthur Smith Last Season, Three Primary Points Of Emphasis Stuck Out From the Team’s Decision To Part Ways With Their Coach, A General Lack Of Win-Loss, “Suspect” Play Calling, and Lack Of Overall Growth And Development From The Team’s Top To Bottom But Particularly The Offensive Talent And The Use Of The Talent. For Whatever Reason, Smith Couldn’t Conjure Up Consistency From The Falcons’talent. After Sunday night's biting Loss To the Chiefs 22-17 And A Near loss to The Eagles Last week, The Falcons Don’t Appear Greatly Different From The Previous Unit. Yes, The Refs Blew The Call In The End Zone. With Just Over 4 Minutes Left In The Game And Atlanta Driving Through The KC’s End Zone, The Falcons Play Calling and Execution Turn Skittish. Truthfully, the Panthers earned a lot of penalty yardage in this game, 6-61 from Kansas City, including multiple pass interference calls in the second half. On The Play In Question, I Wouldn'tExpect The Refs To Bail Atlanta Out In That Moment. Kirk went through a poor ball, which should’ve gone higher, to Give Pitts a chance. In Live Action, yes, The Defender Made Contact, But The Ball Hit The Defenders Back Before Bouncing Off Kyle Pitts’s Hands. If The Defender played the ball, we wouldn’t have this argument, but Pitts would make a better play on the ball. Maybe He Forces The Call, But One Play Doesn't Make A Game. Zach Robinson's calling looks suspect All Game, And The Offense Doesn’t Appear To Trust Kirk Cousins To Open The PlayBook. Cousins Completed Eight Passes Behind The Line of Scrimmage and Just Four At Or Above The 10 Yard Line On His Way To 20/29 For 230 Passing Yards. He’s Still Growing Into This Offense, But Screen plays Into The Backfield To Mooney Feel Like A Wasted Attempt For An Offense That Has The Potential To Go North-South At Will. Kirk Finished With a Negative -1.6 Air Yards To The Stick and 4.1 Completed Air Yards Per Attempt, Which Explains That Pointless Rushing Attempt At The End Of The Game.
Atlanta Started Their Goal Line Drive With Two Runs, And Nothing about The Rushing Attack Suggested The Rushing Attack Would work in That Game Situation, let Alone The Final Play Of The Game. Bijan And Tyler Algeier Helped Move The Chains But Only Set Up A 3rd and Medium.
In an apparent passing situation in adverse circumstances, Kirk Only throws two incomplete passes in a condensed field. Again, The Play Calling suggests a Lack Of Trust Between the Play Caller and the Quarterback. The Chiefs'Offense Didn’t Fair That Much Better. Atalanta's Defense Forced An Interception, multiple Errant Passes, And Two 3 Outs Late In The Game, With the Chiefs Hanging On With a Chance To Win the Game. The Chiefs Offense Averaged Around 4.8 Yards Per Play. The Chiefs escaped Sunday Night With a Win Despite Lackluster Play For Stretches. Patrick Mahomes was 26/39 For 217 with Two Touchdowns and one Interception. Rashee Rice has 12 Catches For 110 and One Touchdown. The Falcons Will Continue To Show flashes Of A Playoff Contending Team Before Again Regressing Into A Pretender As We’ve Come To Expect From Them. The Offense will choose to ride the season out with Cousins, even if The Play On The Field suggests they should change.
Panthers Vs Raiders
The Big Story Of The Week In Football: The Panthers Benched Former First Overall Pick Bryce Young. Former Alabama Mater Dei Stand Out Became The First Quarterback To Get Bench Within The First Two Days Of His Second Season After Young Put Forth Another Dismal Performance Against The Chargers. Two Polarizing Sides Of The Story Have Risen, Some Supporting the Young Belief That If The Panthers’s Organization, Owner, andGM Coach Failed To Support This Kid With The Proper Tools To Succeed. In this view, young people have the talent, although they only know where that talent exists to succeed in high-level football. On the Hand Where I Fall, I Don’t Believe Bryce Ever Had The Necessary Skill Level To Succeed. While Returns On The Panthers Offensive Line Have Returned All Over The Place, PFF Rated Them Number 12 In Week Two, Only Succeeding Just Two Pressures. This pass-catching unit Won’t “Wow” Any Quarterback, But Truthfully, This Unit Has More Accomplishments Than Houston’s Unit The Year Before CJ Stroud arrived. In Some Ways, Stroud Transformed A Bottom League Unit Into a Formidable Playoff Tested Unit. His Time In The SEC Didn’t Prepare Young For The Stripes He’d Have To Bear In The NFL. If Young Entered The League Ready To Excel, He Should At least Lift The Talent Around Him, But Young Couldn’t; the Newly Added Weapons Only Exposed More Wrinkles In Bryce’s Game. Head Coach Dave Canales Didn’t Fail Bryce; Canales Knows What Success In A Passing Attack Looks Like. Canales Has Seen Success In The Past Two Seasons, And He Hasn’t Seen That Success With Bryce. Kyler Murray Made An Interesting Point Last Week When He Pointed out that he Doesn’t “Determine” Who Gets Targets Down To Down. Offensive Coordinator Drew Petzig Makes Those Determinations, And Murray’s Talents make the deliver. Murray, In This Case, Functions As An Extension Of His Offensive coordinator's Will. Bryce Young, For What I Know Functions The Same Way; he’s Just Not Delivering On What Canales Instructs. Young Shouldn’t Need 3 Seconds To Read The Field If He Understands Canales’s Concepts and Reads Defenses Pre Snap The Passing Attack Should Work Off Of Anticipation And Not Off Of Young’s Fraudalant Ability To Create On The Fly.
Some Skeptics Have Pointed To The Offensive Line As the Reason The Run Game Has to Suffer, But Again, This Too, Falls Back On Young. Defenses Want Young To pass; He’s A Golden Goose For Something Fortunate To Happen For Defense, And With That Intent, The PANTHERS will Face Stacked Fronts based on Formations. Bryce’s Physical Limitations Haven’t Helped Him Either. During the 2023 NFL Draft, the Scouts argued that Young’s size shouldn’t hurt his ability to transition when they compared him to the success of quarterbacks like Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson. Young Doesn’t possess the Quickness, The Balance, Or The Arm Talent Of Murray Or Wilson. As a young teenager, Bryce’s parents put him on with a quarterback trainer who turned him into a highly touted five-star quarterback prospect, and those skills earned him a number one pick. However, guys like Wilson and Kyler both played baseball and Football.
MLB Drafted Both Wilson and Murray. Kyler was drafted ninth Overall In The 2018 MLB Draft, The Only one to go to the Top 10 in two sports. Young specialized in stationery and pocket play quarterbacking, which did not allow him to develop other skills like his mobility, off-platform throws, and ability to see and create angles for passes not described in the play.
Not to make this game about young, but maybe Andy Dalton's performance closed the book on any conversation about the team failing the number. The 36-year-old Dalton Threw Three Touchdowns in The First half As The Panthers Pick Up Their First Win Of The Season Over The Las Vegas Raiders 36-22. Everything Looks Better For The Panthers’ Offense The Run Game. Chubba Hubbard Racked up 114 Yards On 21 Carries, and Miles Saunders Rushed In A Touchdown, Something That Seemed Unfathomable A Couple A Games Ago As the Run Struggled To Generate Any Assistance To Passing Attack. The Panthers' Offense Generated More Than 400 Yards Of Offense For The First Time in Two Seasons. Dalton finished with 317 passing yards and 212 in the first half, nearly matching Young's total for the season. Dalton Had No Trouble Sharing The Ball Around; Diontae Johnson Lead The Team With 8 Catches, 122 Receiving Yards, And Touchdown. Dalton Could defend vertically, and I Don’t Think The Raiders' Defense Came
prepared For Dalton’s Style Of Play As Dalton Hit The Raiders' Secondary For
multiple Deep Shots, Including A 31 31-yard touchdown Over The Top Of What Looked Like Two High shells to Adam Theilen. The Raiders, After Pulling Off A Big Upset Win Over The Ravens, The Raiders Played Dispirited against This Panthers Team Looking For Reason To Deliver Some Of The Beat Downs They’ve Suffered. Gardner Minchew Threw An Interception To a Panthers Secondary and Defense That Had Allowed A Positive EPA On 46.5% Of Their Defensive snap. Still, Carolina Cornerback Micheal Jackson Picked Off A Pressed Minchew, Securing The Team's second Pick Of The Year. Aidan O'Connell got a spell at quarterback and Played decently for a series, but if the Raiders offense can't find a spark somewhere,
Cardinals Vs. Lions
Kyler Murray Earned A lot Of Praised And Made Waves After His near-perfect performance Against The Rams In Week 2. This week, Murray jumped ten spots on the athletic quarterback ranking list from 17 to 7, which indicates generally strong confidence in Murray’s performance in the future. The List Doesn’t Place Kyler In The MVP Conversation But Serves as A Great Barometer For How Large A Stimulation His Performance Made To The Football Community. Of course, He Ranked 17th The Week Before For A reason, So He’s Not Entirely Back To Form, But the Cardinals Rank Second In EPA Per Target.
The Cardinals Offense Came Back Down To Earth as Expected. Those Who Quickly Crowned The Cardinals'Offense The Latest Innovation And Kyler Murray, An MVP candidate After their 41-10 Drubbing Of The Rams, Have To Wear Bags On Their Head This Week As The Lions defeated The Cardinals 20-13. The Lions Offense Return To Form
After Struggling against The Bucs In Week Two. Both offenses got off to solid starts; The Lions got the run game going with David Montgomery, which opened up the play-action game, unlocked the motion game, and the short passing game. Most Previews For Week 3 Projected The Cardinals To Have A Hard Time With The Lions’sOffense, and That Prove True For Stretches In This Game. Mongomery Punched IN The Lions Opening Drive Touchdown And The Lions Would Rush For 189 Yards In This Game. Montgomery Would 23 Rushes For 105 Yards, 16 Attempts 83 Rushing Yards. The Run Game Also Helped Jared Goff Get Off To A 6/6 Start For 66 yards On His Way To 18/23 For 199, Two Touchdowns, And A Pick with a pass rating Of 113.6. Kyler Murray And The Cardinals Offense Looked Ready To Repliacte Some Of Their Rams' Sucess On Their First Drive. Murray Pulled Off The Biggest Run Of The Game ABANDONING the Pocket And Escaping Downfield for 21 Yards And Into The Lions’s Red Zone. This Drive Would Conclude This Drive With a Laser To Marvin Harrison Jr., Who Beats Double Coverage In The End Zone. The Lions’ Secondary Has Looked Vulnerable This Season, Including Getting Handled By Tampa Bay And Baker Mayfield, and Early On, The Cardinals’ Offense Looked Ready To Propose The Same Threat.
The Lions Would Score Three Touchdowns In The First Half. Goff Would Hit Amon-Ra St. Brown For A five-yard touchdown After 13 Plays 70 yards. Dan Campbell would Break Out The Creative On The Lions Next Touchdown Drive. In this Misdirection play, Almost Lost Me, Goff hits Amon-At St. Brown On A Slant, Who Pitches The Ball Back To Jahmyr Gibbs, Who Put The Skates On And Rumbles His Way Into The End Zone. Both Defenses Would Pitch Shut Outs In The Second Half. The Cardinals Offense Would Tack On A Field Goal Before The End Of The Fourth Quarter. Kyler Would Hit a Couple Of Beautiful Moon Balls Down Field Including Two Acrobatic Balls To Micheal Wilson But A ‘Moon Ball’ Would Result In An Interception In The End Zone By Kerby Joseph. Jared Goff threw an interception, not targeting deep throws, but on a short pass, which Cardinals’slinebacker Rodriguez anticipated, but the Lions held on to win. Goff Didn’t Have A Great Day Down Field, with zero Completions Of 20 Or More Air Yards And Just Four Over 10 Yards. The Lions Still Have Unlocked Jameson Williams, And The Team Will Have a Decision To Make On Him Soon. The Offense Can’t Relegate Him To Just End-Arounds When Goff Doesn’t Have The Nerve or The Arm Strength To Go Deep. Truthfully, The Lions look better without the explosive element, but rather, it is the slow, pace-bruising game of 12 personnel. The Cardinals Rushing Attack for The Cardinals’s Offense Directed This Team Last Season. Of Course, They Have Murray Til Late In The Year, and The Cards are Look To Diversify Their Offensive Attack.
Bills vs Jaguars
Josh Allen Hasn’t Taken His Rightful Place as the Top Passer In Football. The Bills Look Unchallenged In The AFC East, and The Chiefs Haven’t Looked Strong, Just Fortunate To Reach 3-0 This Past Sunday. The Expected Drop Back In Secondary Heading Into The Season Looks Like A misdiagnosis On The Early Preseason Return. The Less Exciting Bills Look Like A Super Bowl Contender, And Allen, While His Numbers Look tamed, May Have His MVP season. Opening Drive Versus The Jags On Monday Night, Allen Demonstrated the Full Range Of His Composed Play. The Buffalo Bills Efficiently Move Through A 10 Play Drive, Allen Completes 6/7 Pass, and James Cooks Punches In A 6 Yard Touchdown. Cook Accounted For 30 yards On The Drive Between Runs And Passes. Kahlil Shakir Caught Two Passes For 24 Yards.
Allen Added His Four On The Ground, and The Bills' Offense and Skill Position Player Without A Star To Name Had Their Way With The Jags’ Defense. The Jags Post a Quick Three And Out The Jacksonville Jaguars Defense Shuffled Out Once More Like Lambs To The Slaughter. Allen performs most of the work with his arm, and the Bills play calling calls. Two runs as the Bills march down to the end zone and hit tight end Dalton Kincaid on the back line. The Drive Demonstrated That Allen Didn’t Need A Star. The Bills Traded For Stefon Diggs With Hopes of Unlocking Allen’s Latent Talent, But With Diggs, He’s Proven He’s Become The Complete Version Of Himself. Lawrence and The Jags' Offense would get on the board with a field goal, but The Jags' Offense lacks the firepower to protect their defense from Josh Allen. The Jags Would Throw An Interception On The Next Drive, Sailed Pass From Trevor Lawrence Way Over The Target's Head.
I Don’t Know If Lawrence Believed He Still Played For Clemson Amongst The Trees Like Tee Higgins And Justyn Ross, But He Misses Travis Ettiene By A Couple Of Feet, and The Ball Ends Up In Damar Hamlin’s Hands To Set Up The Bills Fourth Touchdown. Their Third Touchdown Before This Series Of Unfortunate Events The Bills Offense On Their Third Drive Score Another Touchdown, This Time Allen Would Hit Rookie Wide Receiver Keon Coleman For A 24-yard Catch And Run. Kahlil Shakir, His 27-Yard Catch And Run Would Put The Bill Fourth Touchdown On The Board. The Bills Scored These Touchdowns In Record Time, Including Drives in Under 3 Minutes and Their Fifth Touchdown Of The Half, Needing Only .53 Seconds, 5 Plays, and 64 Yards. Allen Completely Wrecked The Jags' Defense, Finishing The Half on 22/28 with 247 Passing Yards, Four Touchdowns, and A Passer Rating Of Better Than 143.0. in his Fourth season, Many Expected Trevor Lawrence To Emerge As The Next Great Quarterback In The NFL, Maybe The Next Josh Allen If The Jags Could Bracket Him With The Right Talent, But On Monday Served As Just Another Quarterback Looking Confused Against The Bills Defense. The Jags Would Break Their Scoring Drought In The Third Quarter 8 Play, 70 Yard Drive, and Finally Force the Bills To Punt After 6 Straight Scoring Drives Put This Game Away Quickly. The Jags Would Bench Lawrence In The Fourth Quarter. He’d walk away dejected, finishing 21/38 for 178 passing yards, one touchdown, and one Intercept. Mac Jones Would TAKE over On The Ensuing Jaguars Drive and Fumble. On The Next Drive With No Allen, The Bills Would Punch In Another Touchdown On The Strength Of Running back Ray Davis. The Bills Post Seven Score Blowing Away The Jaguars 47-10 In Convincing Fashion. Pay attention, Kansas City. That’s How You Take Care Of a Lesser Opponent. The Bills Passing Attack Averaged 8.6 Yards Per Throw, Compared To 2.6 Yards For The Jaguars. Josh Allen Finished 23/30 For 263 Passing Yards, 8.8, 142.1 Passer Rating. No One Can Speculate, But Doug Pederson Can’t Feel Too Good About His Position Right Now. The Jags Suffered the Most Embarrassing Lost Of The Season. Lawrence finished 21 of 38 for 178 yards with a touchdown and interception. The Bills' Defensive Line Posted Another Solid Outing: 5 Sacks and 9 QB Hits. If The Bills Continue To Play At This Level, They're The Super Bowl Favorites.
Saints Vs Eagles
The Saint's Offense Had To Come Down To Earth At Some Point; Not Even The Most Optimistic Of Saints’Believers Could’ve Expected For The First Two Weeks of Near Unprecedented New Offense. Derek Carr’sReputation Has A Handicapped Quarterback, and The Law Of Averages Demanding A Balance At Some Point Made A Dud Seemed Inevitable. That Inevitable Came Against An Average Eagles Defense. THE Eagles' Rushing Attack achieved Just Enough To Overcome A Helter Skelter Performance By Jalen Hurts To Pull Away 15-12. Hurts Threw For 311 Passing Yards, Generally Good In This Rough Time For Passing Offense, But He Produced Two Turnovers, Suffered Four Sacks, And Completed Just One Pass Of Over 20 Air yards and Just Four Total Over 10 Yards. Most Of the Production Came After The Catch. Saquon Barkley Continues To Prove He’s The Off-season Addition Making The Most Difference For His Team His 65 Yard Run And Touchdown and Dallas Goedert Monster 61 Yard Catch and run Set Up Saquon’s Fourth Quarter Helped Put Eagles Ahead 15-12, The Eagles Scoring All Of Their Points In The Fourth Quarter and Hold Off The Saints To Win.
