Welcome to Overreaction Monday… except it’s Wednesday! Don’t worry; the drama is still hot, and the takes are spicier than jalapeño nachos at a tailgate. Buckle up because we’re diving into why the D in “Big D” stands for Doomed. Let’s kick things off with the Dallas Cowboys. The Detroit Lions strolled into Jerry World, put their boots up on the coffee table, and absolutely demolished the Cowboys 47-9. And get this—it was Jerry Jones’ 82nd birthday. Ouch. It looks like the highest-paid player doesn’t mean the best player, after all; Dak is more like the highest-paid disappointment.
And speaking of overpaid quarterbacks… Deshaun Watson is still somehow the starter for the Browns. Why, you ask? Well, the Browns are clearly tanking for Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders, because any other team would’ve benched Watson faster than you can say “massage parlor.”
Meanwhile, Joe Flacco is out here in Indianapolis, channeling his inner Grandpa Joe from Willy Wonka, except instead of a golden ticket, he’s got a W over the Titans. Flacco threw for a whopping 189 yards and two TDs, and now the Colts are considering sticking with him over , Anthony Richardson. Cleveland, bet you’re feeling some serious regret now, huh?
Let’s hop across the pond, where the Jacksonville Jaguars were “London broiled” by Da Bears, losing 35-16. They have to hang out in the UK for another week because, you guessed it, they play New England in Old England. With rookie QB Drake Maye throwing for 243 yards and 3 TDs in a loss to the Texans, you can bet Doug Pederson’s days are numbered. Fired in London? Stay tuned.
Over in the NFC North, we’re officially declaring this division the best in football. The Vikings are undefeated, the Lions have an offense so potent it’s breaking fantasy football, and Caleb Williams of Da Bears is starting to look like a seasoned vet. Oh, and the Packers? Jordan Love is back and ready to break some hearts. Yeah, NFC North supremacy—deal with it.
Ladies and gents, Lamar Jackson, is making sure everyone knows he’s gunning for his third MVP. He threw for 323 yards and a TD in the Ravens’ 30-23 win over the Commanders in the Battle of the Beltway . The Ravens started 0-2, but now they’re rolling with four straight wins. You heard it here first—Lamar’s gonna need a bigger trophy case.
Meanwhile, Justin Fields has the Steelers cooking. After two ugly losses and rumors of Russell Wilson sneaking in to steal the job, Fields said, “Hold my Gatorade.” He led the Steelers to a 32-13 victory over the Raiders, throwing for 145 yards and rushing for another 59. Oh, and he scored two rushing TDs. Pittsburgh is now tied with the Ravens at 4-2. It’s getting spicy in the AFC North!
Speaking of the Raiders, remember when Davante Adams went to Vegas to cash in big? Well, he crapped out. The Raiders are a full-blown toxic mess, and Adams finally got his wish—he was traded to the New York Jets. Aaron Rodgers pulled the ol’ “let me get my buddy back” move, but will it save him? Spoiler alert: probably not. Let’s talk about Rodgers for a sec. This isn’t Tom Brady waltzing into Tampa Bay or Peyton Manning taking Denver to a Super Bowl. Rodgers has now gone 28 straight games without hitting 300 passing yards. Yep, that’s the longest active streak in the NFL. And if you’re wondering, the Jets have had the ball at the end of their last three games with a chance to win, and every single time… they choked. Hence, there was a panic trade for Davante Adams.
