Hello readers! Another week of National Football League action has passed us by yet again. The week that was brought us some surprises: a Falcons win, the Bills taking the Seahawks to town and the last unbeaten surviving against Dallas. We'll get to those games and more in this recap post. Let's get to work!
Week 9 Recap
Green Bay 34, San Francisco 17: TW: Packers; CV: Packers
The Packers got their revenge from two drubbings by San Francisco last season. Aaron Rodgers threw for 305 yards with four touchdowns. Aaron Jones returned from injury in this game and put up a respectable 58 yards rushing in this game. Davantae Adams had 10 catches for 173 yards with a touchdown in this game. Nick Mullens started for the 49ers. He threw for 291 yards with a touchdown pass and had an interception. Jerrick McKinnon would give the 49ers offense some life with 52 yards with a touchdown run even though most of San Francisco's touchdowns were in the 4th quarter. The result was to be expected and quite honestly I would've wanted San Francisco at full strength.
Next week:
Green Bay: vs Jacksonville; San Francisco: @ New Orleans
TW: 1-0; CV: 1-0
Detroit 20, Minnesota 34: TW: Vikings; CV: Vikings
Adrian Peterson made his return to Minnesota. Other than that this was all Minnesota. Matthew Stafford threw for 211 yards with a touchdown and threw two interceptions. Stafford would leave the game in the 4th quarter due to concussion protocols. Chase Daniel would step in and provided 94 yards passing with a touchdown but also threw an interception. Dandre Swift gave Detroit some rushing offense with 64 yards and Adrian Peterson had 29 yards rushing as well. Kirk Cousins helped out the Vikings passing attack quite a bit in this one with 220 yards passing with three touchdowns. Dalvin Cook left no stone unturned again in this game with 206 yards rushing with two rushing touchdowns. Thank god I didn't pick Detroit in this game.
Next week:
Detroit: vs Washington; Minnesota: @ Chicago
TW: 2-0; CV: 2-0
Denver 27, Atlanta 34: TW: Broncos; CV: Falcons
Oh my god, Atlanta almost blew another lead in this game. Drew Lock threw for 313 yards with two touchdowns with an interception in this game. Lock also was the Broncos leading rusher with 47 yards with a touchdown as well. Matt Ryan threw for 284 yards with three touchdowns but also threw an interception. Todd Gurley was the leading rusher in the game with 53 yards with a touchdown run. Seriously, Atlanta was up 27-6 at the end of the 3rd quarter. That should've stayed as the result in this one.
Next week:
Denver: @ Las Vegas; Atlanta: Bye
TW: 2-1; CV: 3-0
Houston 27, Jacksonville 25: TW: Texans; CV: Jaguars
No Gardner Minshew in this game, bummer. Deshaun Watson threw for 281 yards with two touchdowns. Watson would also once again be the leading rusher for Houston with 50 yards rushing. David Johnson did put up 41 yards and did score a rushing touchdown. Wil Fuller had 100 yards receiving with a touchdown, his longest was a 77-yard touchdown. Jake Luton would get his first start in his NFL debut. Luton threw for 304 yards with a touchdown but also threw an interception. He would also score a rushing touchdown on a 13-yard run. James Robinson would rush for 99 yards with a rushing touchdown as well. Jacksonville almost tied the game in the 4th quarter on a 2-point conversion but a Luton to DJ Chark Jr pass was incomplete. Houston survives.
Next week:
Houston: @ Cleveland; Jacksonville: @ Green Bay
TW: 3-1; CV: 3-1
NY Giants 23, Washington 20: TW: Giants; CV: Football Team
Daniel Jones gets a gold star for not turning the ball over for the first time this season. Congrats! Jones threw for 212 yards with a touchdown. Wayne Gallman ran for 68 yards with a touchdown to give Jones some help in offense. Former Washington running back Alfred Morris ran for 67 yards. Alex Smith got the start at QB for the Football Team and wasn't that great. He threw for 325 yards with a touchdown and had three interceptions. Not quite a good game for him. Kyle Allen would see some action in this game but wouldn't change the game much as he threw for 62 yards. Antonio Gibson wouldn't get much in this one as he ran for 20 yards with a touchdown. Washington's kicker Dustin Hopkins was 2 for 2 in field goals, his longest was for 48 yards.
Next week:
NY Giants: vs Philadelphia; Washington: @ Detroit
TW: 4-1; CV: 3-2
Seattle 34, Buffalo 44: TW: Seahawks; CV: Bills
Condolences to Josh Allen who lost his grandmother earlier this week. Russell Wilson threw for 390 yards with two touchdowns and threw two interceptions as well. Deejay Dallas ran for 31 yards with a touchdown run. Wilson also put up five yards rushing with a touchdown in this game. Josh Allen went on a rampage in this game with 415 yards passing with three touchdowns in the game. He also scored his fifth touchdown on a rushing touchdown with 14 yards rushing in the game. Zack Moss would get 18 yards rushing with a touchdown run of his own in this game. It was a game that Buffalo never really relinquished its lead. The last time that Buffalo was 7-2 through nine games was back in 1993, the team's fourth straight Super Bowl appearance.
Next week:
Seattle: @ LA Rams; Buffalo: @ Arizona
TW: 4-2; CV: 4-2
Chicago 17, Tennessee 24: TW: Titans; CV: Titans
Nick Foles did well in this game, unfortunately it wasn't enough. Foles threw for 335 yards with two touchdowns in the game. David Montgomery rushed for 30 yards in the game on 14 carries. Ryan Tannehill threw for 158 yards with two touchdowns in the game. Derrick Henry was fairly contained in this game but would get a respectable 68 yards in this game. The Titans defense would capitalize on a David Montgomery fumble that would turn into a touchdown to help out their offense a bit. Remember when Chicago was good? I'm fairly content with the result as you can see.
Next week:
Chicago: vs Minnesota; Tennessee: vs Indianapolis
TW: 5-2; CV: 5-2
Carolina 31, Kansas City 33: TW: Chiefs; CV: Chiefs
Welcome back Christian McCaffrey. Teddy Bridgewater threw for 310 yards with two touchdowns in this one. Christian McCaffrey returned from injury in this game, rushing for 69 yards with a touchdown. Bridgewater rushed for 19 yards and also scored a rushing touchdown as well. Patrick Mahomes did Patrick Mahomes things and threw for 372 yards with four touchdowns in the game. Clyde Edwards-Helaire rushed for 14 yards. Andy Reid would get win #230 passing Curly Lambeau for 5th most in NFL history.
Next week:
Carolina: vs Tampa Bay; Kansas City: Bye
TW: 6-2; CV: 6-2
Baltimore 24, Indianapolis 10: TW: Ravens; CV: Ravens
The Ravens have scored 20+ points in 31 straight games. I'm amazed by this great stat. Lamar Jackson threw for 170 yards but didn't throw a touchdown pass. Jackson rushed for 58 yards with a touchdown. Gus Edwards would get 23 yards with a rushing touchdown as well. Baltimore would capitalize on a fumble by Jonathan Taylor for a touchdown that was recovered by Chuck Clark. Phillip Rivers threw for 227 yards but threw an interception in the game. Jordan Wilkins rushed for 39 yards. Jonathan Taylor would score the only touchdown for Indy and added 27 yards rushing in the game. Fortunately the AFC South is terrible for Indy's case.
Next week:
Baltimore: @ New England; Indianapolis: @ Tennessee
TW: 7-2; CV: 7-2
Las Vegas 31, LA Chargers 26: TW: Raiders; CV: Chargers
Justin Herbert should get some consideration for Rookie of the Year, because his team would probably be just as terrible without him. Derek Carr threw for 165 yards with two touchdowns. Devontae Booker and Josh Jacobs would score rushing touchdowns while compiling 68 and 65 yards respectively. Justin Herbert threw for 326 yards with two touchdowns. Kalen Ballage would get a rushing touchdown with 69 yards in this game. Keenan Allen had 103 receiving yards with a touchdown.
Next week:
Las Vegas: vs Denver; LA Chargers: @ Miami
TW: 8-2; CV: 7-3
Miami 34, Arizona 31: TW: Cardinals; CV: Cardinals
What the heck, Arizona? I knew your defense wasn't great but I mean c'mon! Tua Tagovailoa threw for 248 yards with two touchdowns. Jordan Howard rushed for 19 yards with a rushing touchdown. Salvon Ahmed rushed for 38 yards. Kyler Murray threw for 283 yards with three touchdowns. Murray would also score a rushing touchdown with 106 rushing yards. Chase Edmonds would rush for 70 yards in the game. What's more surprising: Miami is 5-3 or Arizona being 5-3? I don't know.
Next week:
Miami: vs LA Chargers; Arizona: vs Buffalo
TW: 8-3; CV: 7-4
Pittsburgh 24, Dallas 19: TW: Steelers; CV: Steelers
Garrett Gilbert nearly lead the Cowboys to a historic upset. Ben Roethlisberger threw for 306 yards with three touchdowns. Mason Rudolph would see some action in this game with Roethlisberger injured for a bit in the game. He threw for three yards. James Conner was held to 22 yards on nine carries. Garrett Gilbert, the 3rd year quarterback from SMU, threw for 243 yards with a touchdown but also threw an interception. Tony Pollard rushed for 57 yards in the game. Yinzer nation would've been upset indeed had the Steelers lost.
Next week:
Pittsburgh: vs Cincinnati; Dallas: Bye
TW: 9-3; CV: 8-4
New Orleans 38, Tampa Bay 3: TW: Buccaneers; CV: Buccaneers
Well... shit happens haha. NBC literally went all Tampa Bay in the pregame. That didn't work out well. Drew Brees threw for 222 yards with four touchdowns. Taysom Hill rushed for 54 yards while Alvin Kamara rushed for 40 yards and scored a touchdown. Tom Brady in this one was abysmal as he threw for 209 yards with three interceptions. Tampa's running game didn't have a lot in this one due to the score but Ronald Jones did manage to put up nine yards rushing in the game. Ryan Succop would put up the only points for Tampa with a 48-yard field goal in the 4th quarter. This game was also the worst loss in Tom Brady's career.
Next week:
New Orleans: vs San Francisco; Tampa Bay: @ Carolina
TW: 9-4; CV: 8-5
New England 30, NY Jets 27: TW: Patriots; CV: Patriots
Oh so close Jets. So close. Cam Newton threw for 274 yards but didn't throw a passing touchdown. Newton did run for 16 yards with two touchdowns. Rex Burkhead rushed for 56 yards with a touchdown run and Damien Harris rushed for 71 yards. Joe Flacco did fairly well in this game with 262 yards with three touchdowns but he did throw an interception in the game. The hardy veteran Frank Gore did give the Jets some help in the running game with 46 yards rushing. Look at it this way Jets fans: the good news is you're closer to possibly drafting Trevor Lawrence, the bad news is that you're 0-9 for the first time in your franchise's history. Congrats?
