Giants QB1 change
J.J. McCarthy leads Giants to 34-27 win over Saints after Jameis Winston's poor performance.
“Jameis Winston showed some of that Jameis magic in Week 5 when he led the team from two touchdowns down in the second half to force overtime and eventually a tie against the Commanders. But the magic wasn't there in Week 6.”
Bills keep rolling
Bills remain 5-1 in AFC East after winning against Raiders.
“Josh Allen is making his case for another MVP award as he leads the buffalo bills into their bye week at 5-1.”
Shane Steichen on hot seat
Steichen faces criticism for poor defense against Titans.
“Losing to the previously winless tennessee titans at home is nearly a fireable offense on its own, especially when your team had a 13-0 lead at halftime.”
Browns in first place
Browns move to 4-2 and tied for AFC North lead after win over Ravens.
“With the upset win over the ravens, cleveland moves to 4-2 and into a tie with baltimore and pittsburgh.”
Eagles QB injury
Eagles place Jalen Hurts on injured reserve due to calf injury.
“The eagles placed jalen hurts on injured reserve saturday because of a superficial blood clot in his calf, sidelining him for at least four games.”
Patriots struggle
Patriots let Jets hang around despite winning.
“The patriots won. But it wasn't particularly pretty. They let the jets hang around for most of the game, thanks in large part to two costly fumbles.”
Bears nearly blow lead
Bears nearly blow 24-point lead against Falcons.
“The bears have a chance to make a run. But head coach ben johnson isn't going to be happy that his team nearly blew a 24-point lead with just over 12 minutes to go.”
Steelers vs Buccaneers OT
Steelers win overtime against Buccaneers after kick-off strategy.
“I understand the strategy of wanting to know what the other team does before you get the ball. Here's the problem: regular-season overtime is only 10 minutes.”
Rams 2-4 record
Rams drop to 2-4 after loss to Cardinals.
“Look, i still think the los angeles rams are a good football team. But, as i wrote earlier, "you are what your record says you are." Right now, their 2-4 record doesn't say anything good about the preseason super bowl favorites.”
Bills 5-1
Bills lead AFC East with 5-1 record.
“The bills are 5-1 and leading the afc east.”
Chiefs vs Chargers
Chargers face playoff exit after loss to Chiefs.
“Do chargers fans miss brandon staley yet? I kid. Sort of. But staley was hated and run out of los angeles after posting a 24-24 regular-season record and zero playoff wins in nearly three seasons.”
Cowboys lack offense
Cowboys offense struggles despite hype.
“For the second straight week, it was the offense pulling a no-show. This is a unit that features two-star receivers, cee dee lamb and george pickens, so there's no excuse for that.”
Giants QB controversy
Giants switch QBs after Winston's poor performance.
“Winston threw two interceptions before new york turned to the recently acquired j.j. mccarthy … who promptly threw an interception of his own.”
Shane Steichen's seat
Steichen faces criticism for poor defense against Titans.
“Losing to the previously winless tennessee titans at home is nearly a fireable offense on its own, especially when your team had a 13-0 lead at halftime.”
What matters most
Giants' J.J. McCarthy leads team to 34-27 win over Saints after Jameis Winston's poor performance, Bills remain 5-1 in AFC East, and Shane Steichen faces criticism for poor defense against Titans.
