Hello readers! Another week of National Football League action has come and gone. The week that was brought us some drama with the injury of Dak Prescott, the Raiders playing the underdog card to their advantage, and Tom Brady forgetting how to count which down it is. In this post I'll be recapping the week's games. Let's get to work!
Week 5 Recap
Tampa Bay 19, Chicago 20: TW: Buccaneers; CV: Buccaneers
Nick Foles would got the better of Tom Brady in this one both in the score and in counting. Brady did fine in the game with a 253 passing yards with a touchdown. Ronald Jones had another great day on the ground game with 106 yards. You can blame it on Brady but you're not gonna win a lot of games with 114 yards in penalties. Nick Foles threw for 243 yards with a touchdown and threw and an interception. Devin Montgomery wouldn't need to put up a lot of rushing yards but he did get 29 yards with a touchdown. Allen Robinson had a solid day in receiving with 90 receiving yards. As much as I hate the Bears, they win ugly but a win is a win.
Next week:
Tampa Bay: vs Green Bay; Chicago: @ Carolina
TW: 0-1; CV: 0-1
Jacksonville 14, Houston 30: TW: Texans; CV: Jaguars
The Texans got a win, finally. Gardner Minshew threw for 301 yards and threw for two touchdowns (the only two touchdowns for the Jags). James Robinson ran for 48 yards on 13 carries, decent game for him. The Jaguars had two turnovers that were fumbles, including a fumble that was in the redzone. DeShaun Watson threw for 359 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. The two interceptions didn't really hurt the Texans that much but still could've been a different game. David Johnson had a better day with 96 yards on the ground. Brandin Cooks had a great day with 161 receiving yards with a touchdown.
Next week:
Jacksonville: vs Detroit; Houston: @ Tennessee
TW: 1-1; CV: 0-2
Cincinnati 3, Baltimore 27: TW: Ravens; CV: Ravens
Poor Joe Burrow. Joe Burrow threw for 183 yards and threw an interception in the game. Joe Mixon ran for 59 yards but didn't run for a touchdown. Tee Higgins was the leading receiver for the Bengals with 62 yards. Cincinnati had three turnovers in the game with two fumbles and an interception. Joe Burrow had a rough time in pass protection as he was sacked seven times for 48 yards lost. Lamar Jackson threw for 180 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Mark Ingram ran for 57 yards but didn't score a touchdown. Malcolm Brown was the leading receiver for Baltimore with 77 yards with a touchdown. I knew the Bengals would have a hard time winning this game but to only score three points? Ouch.
Next week:
Cincinnati: @ Indianapolis; Baltimore: @ Philadelphia
TW: 2-1; CV: 1-2
LA Rams 30, Washington 10: TW: Rams; CV: Rams
The year has been crap but seeing Alex Smith return to the football field was definitely worthy of a feel good story. Jared Goff had a good day throwing the ball with 309 yards with two touchdowns but threw an interception in the game. Cam Akers ran the ball with 61 yards while Darrell Henderson ran for 39 yards with a touchdown run. Kyle Allen started for Washington and had 74 yards passing before getting injured. Alex Smith didn't help the cause much with 37 yards passing for the game. Kyle Allen would score the only touchdown for Washington on a touchdown run.
Next week:
LA Rams: @ San Francisco; Washington: @ NY Giants
TW: 3-1; CV: 2-2
Las Vegas 40, Kansas City 32: TW: Chiefs; CV: Chiefs
Oh boy this one was a shocker. Derek Carr had a great day with 347 yards with three touchdowns and threw an interception. Josh Jacobs ran for 77 yards with two touchdowns. Henry Ruggs III had 118 yards receiving with a touchdown in the game. Patrick Mahomes had similar stats to Carr with 340 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Mahomes rushed for 21 yards with a touchdown. Clyde Edwards-Helaire rushed for 40 yards. Definitely exposed the defending champs for sure.
Next week:
Las Vegas: Bye; Kansas City: @ Buffalo
TW: 3-2; CV: 2-3
Philadelphia 29, Pittsburgh 38: TW: Steelers; CV: Steelers
Either the Eagles are underrated despite of record or the Steelers defense was exposed. Carson Wentz threw for 258 yards with two touchdowns with two interceptions. Obviously turnovers would've made a difference in this game. Miles Sanders ran for 80 yards with two touchdowns, one of the touchdowns was from a 74-yard run. Ben Roethlisberger threw for 239 yards with three touchdowns. Rayray McCloud ran for 63 yards in this game, James Conner rushed for 44 yards with a touchdown. Chase Claypool had a stellar day with 110 receiving yards, three receiving touchdowns, and one rushing touchdown. Steelers are 4-0 for the first time since 1979.
Next week:
Philadelphia: vs Baltimore; Pittsburgh: vs Cleveland
TW: 4-2; CV: 3-3
Carolina 23, Atlanta 16: TW: Falcons; CV: Panthers
Atlanta still sucks but that Dan Quinn guy got fired. Teddy Bridgewater threw for 313 yards with two touchdowns and didn't throw an interception. Mike Davis ran for 89 yards but didn't run in for a touchdown. Robby Anderson had 119 yards receiving in the game for Carolina. Matt Ryan would only put up 226 passing yards while throwing an interception. Todd Gurley was the shining light for Atlanta with 121 rushing yards with a touchdown. Calvin Ridley would have 136 receiving yards in the game. Good day for him as well. Dan Quinn was the tip of the iceberg if you're Atlanta, his firing might help but still have a long way away from being relevant.
Next week: Carolina: vs Chicago; Atlanta: @ Minnesota
TW: 4-3; CV: 4-3
Arizona 30, NY Jets 10: TW: Cardinals; CV: Cardinals
With Bill O'Brien and Dan Quinn getting fired, could Adam Gase be the next one? Kyler Murray threw for 380 yards with a touchdown and had an interception. He, Kenyan Drake, and Chase Edmonds scored a rushing touchdown. Definitely a well-balanced attack. Joe Flacco would start for the Jets. Flacco threw for 185 yards with a touchdown. Le'Veon Bell ran for 60 yards in the game. Jamison Crowder had 116 yards with a receiving touchdown. The Jets are 0-5 for the first time since 1996.
Next week:
Arizona: @ Dallas; NY Jets: @ Miami
TW: 5-3; CV: 5-3
Miami 43, San Francisco 17: TW: 49ers; CV: 49ers
What happened to Jimmy Garoppolo? Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 350 yards with three touchdowns. Myles Gaskin ran for 57 yards with a touchdown. Preston Williams had 106 receiving yards with a touchdown. Jimmy Garoppolo started for the 49ers with 77 yards passing and threw two interceptions before getting benched in favor of CJ Beathard. Beathard added 94 yards with a passing touchdown for San Fran. Raheem Mostert had 90 rushing yards. Problems just keep unfolding for San Francisco.
Next week:
Miami: vs NY Jets; San Francisco: @ LA Rams
TW: 5-4; CV: 5-4
Indianapolis 23, Cleveland 32: TW: Browns; CV: Browns
Brownies are 4-1 for the first time since a guy named Bill Belichek was coaching them in 1994. Philip Rivers threw for 243 yards but threw two interceptions. One of the interceptions was a pick six Jonathan Taylor ran for 57 yards with a touchdown. It would be the only offensive touchdown for the Colts in the game. Isiaiah Rodgers had a kick six in the game running for 101 yards for a score. Baker Mayfield threw 247 two touchdowns and two interceptions. Nick Chubb wasn't in the game but Kareem Hunt was enough to provide a sufficient running attack for Cleveland with 72 yards rushing. Did I also mention that Nick Saban was the Browns defensive coordinator in 1994?
Next week:
Indianapolis: vs Cincinnati; Cleveland: @ Pittsburgh
TW: 6-4; CV: 6-4
NY Giants 34, Dallas 37: TW: Cowboys; CV: Giants
Dallas got their 2nd win of the year, but with a great cost. Daniel Jones threw for 222 yards but didn't throw a touchdown pass. Evan Engram and Devontae Freeman scored a touchdown in the game each while racking up nine and 60 yards rushing respectively. Dak Prescott started the game for Dallas but would leave the game due to injury to the ankle. Prescott threw for 166 yards but threw an interception. Former Cincinatti Bengal quarterback Andy Dalton would take his place and threw for 111 yards. Ced Wilson threw for 11 yards with a touchdown. Ezekiel Elliot ran for 92 yards with two touchdowns. CeeDee Lamb had a great day in catching the football with 124 yards receiving. Dallas is about to enter the great unknown with Dalton at quarterback.
Next week:
NY Giants: vs Washington; Dallas: vs Arizona
TW: 7-4; CV: 6-5
Minnesota 26, Seattle 27: TW: Seahawks; CV: Seahawks
Poor Minnesota, Twins haven't won a playoff game since 2004, Timberwolves and Wild are crap, the Lakers won their 17th NBA title (a team that used to be the Minneapolis Lakers), and the Vikings can't hold a lead worth a darn. Kirk Cousins threw for 249 yards with two touchdowns and threw an interception. Dalvin Cook ran for 65 yards with a touchdown while Alexander Mattison ran for 112 yards for the Vikings as well. Russell Wilson continued his spectacular season with 217 yards passing with three touchdowns with an interception. Wilson rushed for 58 yards with Chris Carson also rushing for 52 yards with a touchdown run.
Next week:
Minnesota: vs Atlanta; Seattle: Bye
TW: 8-4; CV: 7-5
LA Chargers 27, New Orleans 30 (F/OT): TW: Saints; CV: Saints
Justin Herbert is good at this football thing. Unfortunately the rest of the Chargers aren't good at keeping leads. Justin Herbert threw for 264 yards with four touchdowns. Justin Jackson ran for 71 yards but didn't score a touchdown. Drew Brees threw for 325 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Alvin Kamara ran for 45 yards in the game. Taysom Hill ran for 13 yards with a touchdown run. The game would go into overtime, while it was almost close to ending in a tie, Saints kicker Will Lutz hit a 36-yard field goal to give the Saints the win.
Next week:
LA Chargers: Bye; New Orleans: Bye
TW: 9-4; CV: 8-5
Buffalo 16, Tennessee 42: TW: Bills; CV: Bills
The game was lackluster to be honest. It was weird to see football on a Tuesday night. Josh Allen threw for 263 yards with two touchdowns with two interceptions. TJ Yeldon was the leading rusher for the Bills with 52 yards rushing. Devin Singletary ran for only 25 yards. Ryan Tannehill threw for 195 yards with three touchdown passes. Derrick Henry ran for 57 yards with two touchdowns. Ryan Tannehill ran for 42 yards with a touchdown run of his own. Buffalo got embarrassed tonight but perhaps its a blessing in disguise that perhaps you're not as good as you think you are. A learning experience perhaps.

Buffalo: vs Kansas City; Tennessee: vs Houston
