The punters had their time to shine in Week 8 during Jets-Giants. Now 6 kickers booted through game winning field goals in Week 10. Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins atoned for the mixed extra point with the game winning score to beat the rival Ravens. Matt Ammendola was just signed by the Texans to replace their injured kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn and all he does is cap off his day with a win over the Bengals. Matt Prater made sure Kyler Murray's first game back was a W by putting the Cardinals ahead of the Falcons in the final seconds of the contest. Lions kicker Riley Patterson, taking advantage of the lenient uniform rules, puts his team ahead of the Chargers in a high scoring game. Jason Myers provided most of the Seahawks points as he handed the Commanders another heart-breaking loss. And finally on MNF, Wil Lutz and the Broncos shocked Buffalo due to the Bills having to many men on the field allowing Wil to kick again after missing his first attempt. It's nice to see kickers put the Foot in football before the NFL gets rid of the kicking game completely in like 10 years "in the interest of safety". You know it's coming.
THE GAMES
Cincinnati Bengals 6
Baltimore Ravens 14
Will I get this post off before the Bengals become mid? We will see...
Dallas Cowboys 17
Carolina Panthers 20
It would be such a Cowboys move to be so overconfident with their WR CeeDee Lamb declaring himself "the top receiver in this game" only to lose against the Panthers who might fire their coach Frank Reich before he even finishes his first season there. Also, Cowboys LB Leighton Vander Esch's career is in jeopardy after another neck injury so prayers up for him.
Pittsburgh Steelers 0
Cleveland Browns 21
Well damn, Browns QB Deshaun Watson is out for the season with a fractured shoulder. So that means the rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson will start over XFL legend P.J. Walker. They feel Dorian has more upside than P.J. and won't turn the ball over as much. That's if you ignore his 3 INTs vs the Ravens in Week 4. With this defense, they shouldn't have to rely on him that much.
Chicago Bears 13
Detroit Lions 24
The Bears gonna need a diaper when taking on the top ten offense AND defense of the Lions.
Los Angeles Chargers 34
Green bay Packers 7
Chargers coach Brandon Staley is another one who might be out of a job if he doesn't win more.
Utah Buckeyes 19
Houston Texans 17
People are really hyping up rookie sensation C.J. Stroud as he's second in passing yards with 2,626. Imagine if he went to the Panthers instead of the Texans? Whew, he dodged that bullet!
Tennessee Titans 17
Jacksonville Jaguars 23
I will never understand why these dumbass players continue to risk their jobs doing stupid shit. In this case, Jaguars WR Zay Jones was arrested for domestic battery after scratching his baby mama's neck while snatching her chain during a custody drop off. He's already injured so it's not like they gonna miss him. He will continue to practice with the team until his case gets resolved so he might not get suspended until next season if they don't start it in December first.
Las Vegas Raiders 13
Miami Dolphins 27
Looks like it's the Dolphins turn to be bugged by HBO in the middle of their season. Fans love the all access looks into the locker rooms and what goes on behind the scenes when preparing for game day. Many players hate the camera crews following them around all day at the team facilities, on the road and at home. I would dread hearing that there will be extra cameras in my face. But there are others who take this opportunity to try to make a name for themselves.
New York Giants 17
Washington Commanders 16
Commies QB Sam Howell is another one the media try to hype up while ignoring all the sacks he taken. Like damn, he leads the league in passing yards but he's been sacked more times than the next 3 QBs on the list combined! At 4-6 with the league worse defense, they seem to be punting on this season. Hopefully in next year's draft they get some offensive linemen who are worth a shit. Then we will see if Magic Johnson can bring his winning ways to Washington too.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3
San Francisco 49ers 20
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey's scoring streak ended at a record tying 17 games. Sad.
New York Jets 23
Buffalo Bills 0
It had some down years lately but it looks like the Madden Curse is back and is exposing how much of a turnover machine Josh Allen is. He now leads the league with 11 INTs and is tied with Joshua Dobbs and Lamar Jackson with 4 fumbles behind Tua Tagovailoa's 7 (Tua also thrown 7 INTs). When the Bills was winning games easily, his faults weren't as apparent. But compare him to Patrick Mahomes who has 2 rings and less turnovers and you see why people are starting to grumble. He may not become as notorious with turnovers like Brett Favre but Josh does have that gunslinger mentality where you just have to take the good (TDs/wins) with the bad (turnovers) because that's his playing style and trying to change it will make him a worse player.
Seattle Seahawks 27
Los Angeles Rams 21
Rams QB Matthew Stafford is expected to play so Carson Wentz won't break both of his ankles.
Minnesota Vikings 38
Denver Broncos 16
The Broncos are so goddamn inconsistent while the Vikings store has Josh Dobbs jerseys.
Philadelphia Eagles 0
Kansas City Swifties 25
It's the Black QB/Andy Reid/Kelce Bowl rematch from February! That game was a high scoring affair until the Chiefs edged out a 38-35 win with you guessed it, a game winning field goal. This time, the Chiefs won't need Harrison Butker to drill his kick because the prediction machine says KC will blow out Philly. Kansas City has the 3rd ranked defense so they got all the tools to make the shutout happen. BTW, I should really make a kicking tag on these blog posts.
LAST WEEK: 7-7
OVERALL: 81-69
