NFL Analysis: The Day After…

Are you looking for scores, recaps, highlights, and predictions all in one place? In this new segment, I will try to give a quick recap of what happened yesterday and give a quick prediction of what I see happening on Monday night. All this plus the highlights of all the top plays of the day! Let’s get to it, shall we?

Ravens 28, Browns 7

Baltimore scores a lot of points and the Browns fail to win again. Nothing else to say. Another TNF barn burner.

Texans 24, Jaguars 21 

Another fight between 2 teams whose QB play has been talked about as a perfect fit for the movie Little Giants Part II. Bortles has some hope, but Osweiler continues to be on the FBI’s most wanted list. Thank you Brock for making Hopkins worth as much as Kenny Britt this year.

Broncos 25, Saints 23

Drew Brees must have seen the same surgeon as the pitcher in the movie Rookie of the Year. He continues to defy the odds of age and throw the ball with ease. His TD pass to Brandin Cooks in the middle of 3 defenders was amazing. In the end it still wasn’t enough, but the game at least provided the excitement we all want. Denver’s O-line play was shaky leading to some poor decisions and a below average running game. For a defense that has a horrid reputation, the Saints came out to play in this one recording 6 sacks by six different players.

Rams 9, Jets 6

This was another game that only catered to fantasy players. Believe it or not, Jared Goff’s name made an appearance this week and speculation grew that he may find his way onto the field. Quite honestly, it would have been the only thing worth watching for. The Jets are done and the Rams, while winning some games, are a very boring team to watch. Next.

Eagles 24, Falcons 15

In a game where I thought Philly would get blown away by Matty Ice, they came out firing on all cylinders to show they are still a good football team. Philly’s running game was the backbone of the gameplan as they rumbled for 200+ yards keeping the explosive Atlanta offense off the field. Sure Julio still got his 100+ yards, but the big plays were limited by a great defensive scheme. The Eagles are 4-0 at home in the toughest division in football.

Chiefs 20, Panthers 17

Cam did everything possible to give this game to the Chiefs. The Panthers are the perfect example of a Super Bowl hangover and still trying to find their way. Kansas City is still looking for playmakers in an offense that is Vanilla X2. Luckily for Big Red they have a guy named Berry who patrols the field like “John McClane.” Yippe Ki Yay!!!!!!!

Buccaneers 36, Bears 10 

In the, “Who Cares game of the Week part 2,” Jay Cutler built on his legacy as the most overhyped QB next to Jeff George. He didn’t disappoint with his lackluster effort and unscripted toss of a football while his head was in someone’s chest pad that fell right into the hands of Tampa Bay. Without a lucky Hail Mary bounce, his stats against a suspect safety group were 15-of-29 for 132 yards and the four turnovers. If you’re a Tampa Bay fan, you couldn’t be happier to know Jameis is your guy!

Redskins 26, Vikings 20

Minnesota has gone from Super Bowl to toilet bowl as they continue to sink fast. Did Norv know something we didn’t? Either way this team is looking as average as their long sleeved QB while the Redskins have players like Vernon Davis finding the fountain of youth. Jay Gruden is starting to use his weapons all over the field and looking to propel the Skins into playoff glory.

Titans 47, Packers 25 

What has happened to Green Bay? No running game, a depleted secondary and marginal receiver play has left this team looking for hope. On the other Hand, Marcus Mariota has arrived. Mariota, Murray, and a young receiving core have made football in Tennessee fun again.

Dolphins 31, Chargers 24 

In a game that was supposed to hinged on Gordon versus Ajayi, it was the unsung heroes who swooped in to save the day. Antonio Gates still rumbled his way into the endzone, while his understudy Henry got a chance to dance too. However, it still wasn’t enough to overcome the prodigy known as Adam Gase. After a 1-4 start, Miami is now 5-4 with an O-Line that could be playing as one of the best right behind Dallas and Oakland.

Cardinals 23, 49ers 20 

In a game that everyone thought would be a blowout, Bruce Arians did everything he could to get Chip Kelly closer to his next college destination. Palmer continues to be inconsistent and leaned on the golden hands of Fitz for a ridiculous 18 targets. In the end, the game was won by Chandler Catanzaro, who earlier in the year couldn’t hit a stationery tractor trailer with a coffee creamer. Luckily for Arizona, he has finally turned it around.

Cowboys 35, Steelers 30 

The Cowboys continue to run through their opponents and lean on the backs of two exceptional rookies. Ezekiel Elliot’s late scamper through the crashing Steelers’ defense with seconds left in regulation capped off a Cowboys win in what is being classified as the game of the year so far. Big Ben had a nice game of his own while trying to provide some late game magic with his Marino-like fake spike turned touchdown to Antonio Brown. However, Dak Prescott showed he’s no joke with a 319-yard, two touchdown performance of his own.

Seahawks 31, Patriots 24 

Tom Brady couldn’t outduel Russell Wilson as the Seahawks made just enough plays to keep New England on the goaline to end the game. The Seattle  Seahawks are back and the legion of boom looks to be crashing the NFL as we speak. Just ask Gronk how Earl Thomas feels on Monday morning.

Cincinnati @ New York Giants

Monday Night prediction: AJ Green gets the best of OBJ and the Bengals squeak out a win on the road. The running game for the Giants has been non-existent and tonight it will hurt.

Bengals 27, Giants 17

 

I hope you enjoyed the recap as well as the video below profiling all the top plays on Sunday. Until Week 11…
