Yeah, I don’t remember ever seeing a receiver that open before without the defender falling down.
Speaking of receivers, Puka Nacua of the Rams will likely be placed on the Injured Reserved list. This means he will miss at least four games. That’s a major blow to the Rams, as Davante Adams is already on the IR.
Burden probably shouldn’t have lowered his head, then.
It’s been said Josh Jacobs will only be out for three weeks. Pity, I was hoping it would be longer than that. I’d really like to watch the Packers play, but won’t while that shithead is on the field.
Seattle really beat the crap out of the Cardinals yesterday.
WR definitely out, QB probably out the rest of the year. Both were #1 at their positions at the time.
(Though let’s be honest, Trey McBride is the #1 receiver for that team, as he is probably the best tight end in the entire NFL right now.)
I’m watching MNF, and find all the extra stuff ESPN is adding (percentages for whether the play will be a pass or run, what coverage the defense will play, etc.) extremely distracting. If this is some sort of play to attract gamblers to watch, they have finally jumped the shark. Hopefully there is major pushback and ESPN decides to drop that ridiculous garbage.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are having a good season, and they’re all in on winning now.
The Eagles, meanwhile, appear to be trying to retool for the future.
The Jags earlier acquired safety Jessie Bates from the Atlanta Falcons and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from the New Orleans Saints.
Minshew was only just promoted to #1, too. And they traded their former #1 QB Jacoby Brissett to the Ravens, who hoped for at least replacement level play (and probably won’t get it).
So, yeah, Carson Beck, I guess.
The Raiders just won the trade deadline lottery. They’re probably fielding half a dozen calls right now asking about Kirk Cousins. He’s already a placeholder until Mendoza is ready, and since they’ve already lost 5 of their last 6, might as well make the change now and get some draft value out of a perfectly serviceable backup. As desperate as some of these teams will be, they’re going to get overpaid.
That is literally the only reason to add that info. Those are the only people who care.
Bears gave up 5 turnovers and still eked out the win, but didn’t look good
Real time gambling on the next play to be called. As Yakov Smirnoff would have said “What a country!” But with much less enthusiasm now than way back then.
Carson Wentz making Vikings fans miss Kyler Murray…
Bills may be best team in the league.
Their defense is the biggest question mark, but it looked great tonight at least.
Probably it says more about the Vikings offense than the Bills defense. Despite their record, Minnesota is 27th in the league in touchdowns.
They’ve been riding a genuinely good defense, which tonight limited the top scoring team in the league to 23 points, which would have been enough to at least be competitive with Buffalo if their offense was even league average instead of bottom 5
It is, and they have. 
I watched that game, and I had a bad feeling the Lions were going to lose it throughout. The Dolphins defense played their hearts out. I remember thinking “one and six? That looks like a six and one defense”.
The offense didn’t look too bad, either. I seem to remember at least one long Dolphins pass play down to the red zone that could have easily led to a touchdown, but was called back on a penalty. If just a couple plays had broken differently, the Dolphins would have won it.
I noticed that they’ve improved a lot. With a few accurate acquisitions and a little luck, they can vie for a playoff spot next year.
