Lamar Jackson completed 27-of-38 passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns in the Ravens’ 27-22 win over the Bucs, adding nine carries for 43 additional yards. Now we know why Tom Brady doesn’t look like himself. He and his supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen, finalized their divorce.
Fly, eagles fly. Jalen Hurts completed 19-of-28 passes for 285 yards and four touchdowns. A.J. Brown caught three of those touchdowns, adding 156 yards in the Eagles’ beat down of their in-state rivals, the Steelers, 35-13.
The cowardly Lions blew a 10-point halftime lead and lost 31-27 to the Dolphins. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 29-of-36 passes for 382 yards and three touchdowns, while his teammate Jaylen Waddle caught 8-of-9 targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns and did his Waddle dance for all to see.
The Viking’s lead in the NFC North continues to widen after a brutal 34-26 win over the Arizona Cardinals. They are 6-1 in part to Dalvin Cook rushing 20 times for 111 yards and a touchdown and adding five catches for 30 yards.
We had a lot of fantasy points at Jerry’s World in Dallas.

Christian McCaffrey, aka CMC rushed 18 times for 94 yards and a touchdown adding eight receptions for 55 yards and an additional touchdown. And he also threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Aiyuk in the 49ers’ eighth straight regular-season win over the Rams 31-14.
Travis Etienne is why the Jaguars traded running back James Robinson to the Jets. Travis rushed 24 times for 156 yards and one touchdown in the Jaguars’ loss to the Broncos in London, England.

D.J. Moore caught 6-of-11 targets for 152 yards and a touchdown, but the Carolina Panthers were penalized after he scored a TD in the last minute. DJ Moore took his helmet off, and a flag was thrown. Panthers missed the extra point and lost in OT. But Moore was off the field when he removed his helmet. D’Onta Foreman rushed 26 times for 118 yards and three touchdowns in Carolina’s overtime loss to Atlanta, adding a two-point conversion.
Josh McDaniels is a good offensive coordinator, but he’s not a good head coach. As a result, the Raiders got shut out by the Saints 24-0. New Orleans Running back Alvin Kamara rushed 18 times for 62 yards and one touchdown for the Saints adding nine catches for 96 yards and two touchdowns on ten targets. There were trade rumors that he would be traded to the Philadelphia Eagles all week.
And finally, congrats to New England head Coach Bill Belichick as he wins his 325th career game (including playoffs), passing George Halas for second all-time. The Patriots defeated the New York Jets 22-17.
