Overreaction Monday but on a Wednesday
The Jets Are Back (Kind Of…)
NFL Week 9 takeaways are in, and the Jets are back (kind of)! Aaron Rodgers lit up Thursday night with three TDs, one to his ol’ pal Davante Adams, in a 21-13 win over the Texans. J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!
Flacco Flop vs. Darnold Drama
Oh, the battle of the backups! “Jersey” Joe Flacco and Sam “The Man” Darnold faced off in New York. Both were Jets in 2020 but quickly got the boot. Now they’re back on the field throwing for other teams. Darnold tossed three TDs for the Vikings, while Flacco’s night was…forgettable. (179 yards and a sad little INT). Last week, fans begged the coach to bench Anthony Richardson, and they did. Now they want Flacco benched. Tough crowd!
Chiefs Undefeated and Unstoppable
The Bucs missed their star receivers on a rainy Kansas City field, but with seconds on the clock, they could’ve gone for two and won. They didn’t. We all knew once Mahomes got the ball, it was over. Spoiler: Mahomes still got the W. Monday Night Football? Chiefs 8-0 after stomping the Bucs 30-24. Are we looking at an undefeated season?
Burrow for MVP
Joe Cool’s on fire, folks! On pace for 5,000 yards and 40 TDs, Burrow’s Bengals battered the Raiders 41-24, and they’re back in the playoff hunt. Who’s betting on Burrow?
Dallas: The ‘D’ Stands for DONE
Cowboys fans, cover your eyes. Dallas got flattened by the Falcons 27-21, and they’re 3-5 despite paying top dollar for their QB and WR. Micah Parsons might want to consider a lifeboat from this sinking ship.
Puka Nakua: Got Hands…and Fists
Sure, Puka Nakua’s got hands, but turns out, they throw punches too. Ejected after a tussle with Tyrel Dodson, but joke’s on the Seahawks—Puka’s backup caught the game-winner. Rams 26, Seahawks 20.
Commanders on Top
Jayden Daniels led Washington to another W, with 200+ passing yards and 2 TDs, putting the Commanders at 7-2. NFC’s #1 seed? Don’t mind if they do.
The Lions Are Roaring
The Lions stomped into a rainy Lambeau and swatted the Packers 24-14. Those green uniforms? Burn them. Packers’ playoff dreams? Also toast.
Bears Are Fumbling Caleb Williams
Da Bears had a brutal Sunday, still reeling from last week’s Hail Mary heartbreak. Six sacks later, Caleb Williams was left battered by the Cardinals. Bears, get him a coordinator stat!
Bo Nix Doesn’t Know Baltimore
Bo Nix and the Broncos waltzed into M&T Bank Stadium and got steamrolled by Lamar and the Ravens. It’s a fantasy dream: Lamar had 280 passing and 3 TDs, Derrick Henry racked up 106 yards and 2 TDs, and Zay Flowers hit 127 yards and 2 TDs. Ravens 41, Broncos 10. Ouch.
The Garbage Bowl: Panthers vs. Saints
At 2-6, both teams stink. But somehow, the Panthers scraped out a 23-22 win, and the Saints fired their coach. Better late than never?
Fly, Eagles, Fly!
The Eagles brought back the classic Kelly green uniforms, and Saquon Barkley went full beast mode with 159 yards with a backward hurdle and 2 TDs. The Eagles downed the Jags 28-23. Doug Pederson still has a job…somehow.
Dolphins = Soft
Sure, Tua’s back, but Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle aren’t putting up points. But Josh Allen had a field day, throwing for 235 yards and 3 TDs, as the Bills beat Miami 30-27. Tough break, Dolphins fans!
In the games that no one’s watching, the Chargers rolled over the Browns 27-10, and the Titans beat the Patriots 20-17. Catch all the action again next week, and don’t forget your fantasy football draft kits for the ultimate draft experience!
