Chase Brown ran for a gain of one. Las Vegas Raiders field cornerback Nate Hobbs got injured. Las Vegas lost their best offensive lineman at left tackle and their best cornerback as neither Kolton Miller or Nate Hobbs returned to this game. Losing Nate Hobbs means Jack Jones a good boundary cornerback has to move to field cornerback and Jakorian Bennett whose nothing more than a nickel cornerback has to move to the outside. Having to move those cornerbacks hurts the Raiders at cornerback in more ways than you'd think.

The Cincinnati Bengals third string tight end out of Iowa is out for the season. He finished his rookie season with 20 receptions for 158 receiving yards.

Miami's wide receiver tandem of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle only had 6 receiving yards combined in the first half and the coverage of Kaiir Elam was a big reason why.

Chuba Hubbard scored a game-winning touchdown. Carolina could not get the two point conversion. Carolina won 23-22.
New Orleans outgaiend Carolina by 150+ yards, ran for 150+ yards, and won the turnover battle. NFL teams were 275-0 in 275 games played when doing those three things before today. NFL teams are now 275-1 in 276 games when getting 150+ plus total yards, running for 150+ rushing yards, and winning the turnover battle with the New Orleans Saints becoming the first team in NFL history to lose a game when gaining 150 more yards than an opponent, running for 150 rushing yards, and winning the turover battle. New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen was fired after this game which is something I predicted back in May. I had New Orleans starting 1-8 and firing Allen after this exact game in May. The only thing I was wrong about was New Orleans starting 2-0, scoring 45 on Dallas, and fooling the NFL into thinking they were serious contenders before injuries on the interior offensive line piled up against the Phiadelphia Eagles in week 3. I had Klint Kubiak taking over as interim head coach, but Darren Rizzi the special teams coordinator will be the interim head coach instead.
Carolina Panthers right guard Robert Hunt was my player of the game. Robert Hunt helepd Carolina get 80 rushing yards while also taking pressure off of quarterback Bryce Young. Carolina didn't have Ikem Ekwonu at left tackle this week, so to see Robert Hunt step up like he did today was a big reason why the Carolina Panthers prevailed.

Jalen Hurts played turnover free football, came the closest to 300 total yards this week, and having more total touchdowns than Saquon Barkley played a big factor in Jalen Hurts winning player of the game in addition to Saquon Barkley fumbling a football which resulted in a defensive touchdown.

Game Recap: ARIZONA-Chicago did not have Braxton Jones at left tackle or Kiran Amigadjie the backup left tackle. This was Caleb Williams first game without a quality blindside as Larry Borom who came off injured reserve would start at left tackle. Chicago was facing an Arizona Cardinals team that had both of their 3-4 right outside linebackers out for the year with a torn achilles thanks to injuries to B.J. Ojulari as well as Dennis Gardeck, so one would think the Chicago Bears could have offensive success even when taking these injuries into account due to Arizona having injuries at edge rusher.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams got injured late in the game because Matt Eberflus was too stubborn to take him out of the game down by twenty points. Arizona won 29-9.
Chicago has a lot of problems. Caleb Williams gave head coach Matt Eberflus the silent treatment after this game. Cole Kmet was healthy, but was not targeted once in this game.

Josh Jacobs had a five yard first down on the very next play on second and two. Green Bay Packers right guard Jordan Morgan had a holding penalty which made it second and twenty.

Detroit put together a 9 play 71 yard drive from their own 29 yard line that lasted five minutes and twenty eight seconds. The two biggest plays of this drive were the opening play and the final play of this drive if you exclude the two penalties on this drive. Jared Goff threw an eleven yard completion to Amon-Ra St. Brown. Detroit had an illegal shift on third and one which was third and six. Keisean Nixon had his second penalty of the game which was a defensive holding penalty on third and six to give Detroit a new set of downs. Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had a 15 yard rushing touchdown on fourth and one to end this drive. Detroit led 24-3.
Green Bay went three and out. Detroit also went three and out. Detroit could have went for it on fourth and one up by three touchdowns, but Detroit wasn't in Green Bay territory and Dan Campbell had enough compassion not to run up the score on Green Bay, so I'll give Detroit's coaching staff credit for punting on fourth and one at their own fifteen yard line.
Green Bay put together a 10 play 55 yard drive from their own 25 yard line that lated five minutes and nine seconds. This drive nearly took nearly the entire third quarter to complete. Jordan Love therw a four yard pass to Christian Watson where Watson picked apart Terrion Arnold. Jordan Love threw a thirty two yard pass to Jayden Reed as Reed burned Brandon Joseph. Brandon Joseph is the former Northwestern safety who went undrafted in 2023. He's on Detroit now as a backup to Brian Branch. I liked him in College, but a woeful combine caused Joseph to go undrafted. Jordan Love threw to Romeo Doubs for six. Josh Jacobs ran for a gain of three on second and four.

Emmanuel Wilson ran for a gain of nineteen on the only scoring drive in the fourth quarter. Detroit Lions nickel cornerback Amik Robertson whose the one replacable player on the Detroit Lions had an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on third and four. The thing is Lions fans are happy with Amik Robertson this year despite a rocky outing on the Las Vegas Raiders. Green Bay Packers running back Emmanuel Wilson had a 2 yard rushing touchdown on third and goal. Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love threw a two point conversion to Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson. Detroit led 24-14.
David Montgomery ran for a gain of seven. Green Bay burned thier second timeout.
David Montgomery ran for a gain of two onsecond and three. David Montgomery ran for a four yard first donw on third and one. David Montgomery ran for a gain of twelve. Green Bay called their last timeout with two minutes and three seconds left.
Jared Goff threw a fourteen yard completion to David Montgomery. Edgerin Cooper made the tackle for Green Bay. Jared Goff proceeded to kneel three times in a row before the clock ran out. Detroit won 24-14.
Both teams struggled with third down conversions, but had moderate success on fourth down attempts. Green Bay lost this game. I'm not trying to take anything away from Detroit as I will get to their player of the game, but I want to explain in great detail why Green Bay outgained Detroit in total yards and still lost this game. The biggest reason Green Bay lost was penalties. Keisean Nixon's unnecessary roughness penalty on special teams turned a 63 yard drive which would have been a touchdown had Green Bay started at the 40 yard line into a field goal on the very first play of the game during the kickoff in the first quarter. T.J. Slaton's encroachment penalty took a tough fourth and five situation to begin the second quarter and made a managable fourth and three which allowed Detroit to gain the lead. Green Bay's two penalties on their second offensive drive took them out of field goal range forcing them to punt. Green Bay had a holding penalty on special teams which took them from their own 27 yard line to their own 18 yard line. Jordan Morgan had a offensive holding penalty and Romeo Doubs had a false start on the very next play after Brian Branch was ejected and many Green Bay Packers fans believe Branch should have remained in the game. Green Bay had 7 of their 10 penalties in the first half. Penalty number 8 came on third and six where Nixon had his second penalty of the game which was a defensive holding on a Jared Goff incomplete pass. Green Bay Packers right tackle Zach Tom had the ninth penalty a false start in the fourth quarter as Jordan Love only completed a ten yard pass on third and fifteen when Detroit led 24-6.
Detroit was the better team. They certaintly earned this win. However if you take away all of Green Bay's firt eight penalties, Green Bay fans can argue that this game would be a lot closer and that's true. Without costly penalties by Green Bay this game is probably tied 10-10 at halftime with Detroit leading 17-13 heading into the fourth quarter. Green Bay probably gets a field goal on the drive where Detroit made a fourth down stop to make this a 17-16 game. Green Bay possibly wins 24-17 without dumb penalties. Regardless, Detroit won this game in real life 24-14 mainly due to Gibbs fourth down run for a touchdown, but that doesn't happen if Keisean Nixon doesn't get called for defensive holding on the opening drive in the third quarter.
Some fans will say Jared Goff should be player of the game because he started 10/10. He managed the first half with precision, but he only threw for 145 passing yards on a Green Bay Packers secondary which didn't have Jaire Alexander their best cornerback which is extremely encouraging to see if you are a Green Bay Packers fan. Neither Gibbs or Montgomery had 100 total yards. If you were gonna award player of the game to a player on the Detroit Lions offense, the clear cut choice is Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown who had 7 receptions on 7 targets, 56 receiving yards, and 1 receiving touchdown. I'll give Amon Ra-St. Brown an honorable mention for his play, however I'm going a diferent route for player of the game on defense.
Detroit Lions free safety Kerby Joseph was my player of the game. Kerby Joseph had 4 solo tackles, 0 assisted tackles, 4 total tackles, 1 deflection for a pass breakup, 1 interception, 1 27 yard defensive touchdown on his interception which resulted in a pick six, and he held Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft to 4 receptions for 34 receiving yards while keeping Kraft out of the end zone even after his teammate at safety Brian Branch got ejected thanks to referee Clete Blakeman.

Game Recap: MINNESOTA-Indianapolis benched Anthony Richardson for Joe Flacco at quarterback. NBC flexed out of Jacksonville VS Philadelphia for Indianapolis VS Minnesota. I could talk about how Mike Tirico gave Jamie Erdhall of Good Morning Football more attention than the former President, but let's just get this final game recap for Sunday typed.
The Indianapolis Colts offense had Joe Flacco at quarterback, Jonathan Taylor at running back, Michael Pittman Jr. at flanker wide receiver, Josh Downs at secondary wide receiver, Moe Alie-Cox at tight end, Matt Goncalves their 2024 third round pick out of Pittsburgh filling in for Bernard Raimann at left tackle whose in concussion protocol, Quinton Nelson at left guard, Ryan Kelly at center, Dalton Tucker an undrafted rookie out of Marshall at right guard, and Braden Smith at right tackle. Jonathan Taylor ran for a gain of two yards. Joe Flacco threw a third down conversion to Kyler Granson as Granson beat Harrison Phillips in one-on-one coverage. Joe Flacco put a little arch on the throw and Cris Collinsworth described Flacco as a "confident guy". That was the kiss of death for the former Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl Champion, who also was a backup on the, New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, and now Indianapolis Colts as a journeyman starting for a first round pick that got benched. Jonathan Taylor got a first down thanks to Quinton Nelson's blocking. Joe Flacco and Jonathan Taylor fumbled the football. Minnesota recovered the football.

Hockenson at tight end, Josh Oliver as the complimentary tight end, Cam Robinson at left tackle replacing Christian Darrisaw whose a top five left tackle, Blake Brandel filling in for Ezra Cleveland at left guard whose tenth among guards in PFF despite being a backup guard, Garrett Bradbury at center, Ed Ingram at right guard, and Brian O'Neill whose a top five bookend at right tackle. Sam Darnold threw a first down to Jordan Addison. Indianapolis Colts backup 4-3 defensive tackle Taven Bryan had a defensive holding penalty.
The Indianapolis Colts defense had Kwity Paye at 4-3 right end, DeForest Buckner at 4-3 defensive tackle, Grover Stewart at 4-3 defensive tackle, Dayo Odeyingbo at 4-3 left end, E.J. Speed at 4-3 right outside linebacker, Zaire Franklin at 4-3 middle linebacker, Samuel Womack II played field cornerback, Kenny Moore moved from nickel to boundary cornerback, Jaylon Jones played nickel cornerback, Julian Blackmon played strong safety, and Nick Cross played free safety with the Indianapolis Colts playing a nickel defense. Sam Darnold threw a completion to Trent Sherfield. Sam Darnold got off to a fantastic start before seeing the ghost of Prince as he threw an interception to Indianpaolis Colts 4-3 middle linebacker Zaire Franklin. "What a leader that guy is", was how Collinsworth described Franklin in a few words.
The Minnesota Vikings defense had Jerry Tillery at 3-4 right end, Harrison Phillips at 3-4 nose tackle, Jonathan Bullard at 3-4 right end, Jonathan Greenard at 3-4 right outside linebacker, Ivan Pace Jr. at 3-4 middle linebacker, Andrew Van Ginkel at 3-4 left outside linebacker, Byron Murphy at field cornerback, Stephon Gilmore at boundary cornerback, Josh Metellus a third safety at nickel cornerback, Camryn Bynum at strong safety, and Harrison Phillips at free safety. Blake Cashman has missed three games at 3-4 middle linebacker which is why Minnesota pivoted to more of a nickel defense. Joe Flacco overthrew Jonathan Taylor. This game remained scoreless 0-0 after one quarter of play.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson was my player of the game. Justin Jefferson went 1/1 with 22 passing yards. Justin Jefferson also had 7 receptions on 9 targets for 137 receiving yards. I'll give Jordan Addison, tight end Josh Oliver, running back Aaron Jones, running back Cam Akers, running back Bilal Powell, wide receiver Trent Sherfield, and wide receiver Jalen Nailor credit for catching every target Sam Darnold threw there way, but Justin Jefferson's presence made it possible for these other guys to get opportunities for the Minnesota Vikings in the passing game. He may not have gotten a receiving touchdown, but he had the best completion percentage among Minnesota Vikings passers in week 7.
