Another monster week in the NFL, much to be learned, much to be discovered. Check out my biggest winners/losers this week!
Winners:
·Kadarius Toney and Kyle Pitts, my goodness. 19 catches and 311 yards between them. Insert Dan Mullen sad face here.
·Henry padded his NFL rushing lead — he now 640 yards on the ground through five games
·Justin Fields throws his first career TD pass. The Bears have now won 2 in a row.
·Justin Herbert helped the Chargers score 34 points in the 2nd half against the Browns. Herbert last 3 weeks: 64%, 300yd average, 12 touchdowns, zero picks.
·Jameis is back! 4 TD passes, including a hail mary at the end of the 1st half. Saints beat Wash on the road 33-22.
·Receivers and TE’s everywhere: 14 went over 100 yards! Most all year.
-Josh Allen's MVP candidacy.
Losers:
·The Chiefs are 2-3. Their schedule has been rough, but they just played the worst game I’ve seen them play in the Mahomes/Reid era. This team could possibly miss the playoff if they’re no careful.
·Jaylen Waddle/Phins- they might have gotten this pick wrong. Its not so much about what Waddle has or hasn’t done. But Toney looks like the real deal, Devonta Smith looks like the real deal, hell- Rondale Moore has looked better. Also, they had the #3 pick and traded it- which means they could’ve had chase or pitts had they not gotten cute with all their draft day trading.
·Broncos…it was fun while it lasted. 27-19 vs Pittsburgh. (Big Ben buys himself another week).
·Chris Godwin- 7-70. Decent stat line but it does seem like he’s the odd man out with the Bucs wideouts.
