Holy sh*t. That’s the only way I can describe this week’s football games. This was one of the most fun, insane, and absolutely thrilling slate of games that I have ever seen in 13 years of watching football. This one is gonna be long, but let’s recap one of the wildest weeks in recent memory.
Eagles 22-21 Giants 
Thursday night’s NFC East showdown was expected to be a snoozefest, but it was actually quite a good game with some very memorable moments. The game was tight for about 2.5 quarters, but momentum swung in a huge way when the Giants pulled off one of the wackiest and funniest plays in recent memory. From his own 12 yard line QB Daniel Jones kept the ball on a zone read, faking out the entire city of Philadelphia, and was LOOSE with nobody within 10 yards of him. Jones was streaking down the field, shockingly reaching the highest speed of any QB this season (per Next Gen Stats), and nobody was gonna catch him. Unfortunately for Jones, the grass caught him, and he tripped and stumbled down at the 8 yard line to be downed after an EIGHTY (80) yard run. It was a hilarious play that garnered attention from all corners of the media, and won’t soon be forgotten. Luckily for the Giants, they still reached the endzone on that drive to take a 14-10 lead. Later in the game, with just over 6 minutes to play, Jones found WR Sterling Shepard for a 2 yard score to put New York up by 11, and seemingly ice the game. But, if there’s anything that you should know about Eagles QB Carson Wentz, it’s that he never goes down without a fight. Wentz led his team right down the field for a quick touchdown and a failed 2-point conversion to cut the lead to 5. All the Giants needed to put the game away for good was a 1st down conversion or two. On a crucial 3rd down, Daniel Jones lofted a perfect, beautiful pass to TE Evan Engram, who inexplicably dropped the ball to give the ball right back to Philly. Predictably, the Eagles went all the way down the field, and with 40 seconds left, Wentz rifled in a perfect pass in between defenders to his RB Boston Scott for the go-ahead score. The Giants had a chance to go down and win the game with very limited time left, but Jones fumbled the ball on a strip sack to put the game to bed. The Eagles picked up their 2nd win of the year, and leapfrogged to 1st place in the NFC East at 2-4-1. This team has gotten off to some slow starts in the last 2 games, but they have fought back hard late. With the rest of the division falling apart, Philly is now starting to emerge as the favorite to win the NFC East.
Lions 23-22 Falcons 
This one was wacky. What else should we have expected from a Falcons game in 2020? This was a tight game throughout that was shockingly dominated by defenses more than offenses, which was the exact opposite of what I predicted last Thursday. With just over 3 minutes to play, the Lions took a 16-14 lead on a long Matt Prater field goal. The Falcons were able to do exactly what they needed to do, marching the ball right down the field, burning the Lions timeouts and setting up a potential chipshot game-winner for kicker Younghoe Koo. Trying to burn just a bit more clock from the Detroit 10 yard line, they gave the ball to RB Todd Gurley, who simply needed to go down before the endzone. In typical Georgia sports fashion, he didn’t. Gurley realized his mistake too late, and despite trying to go down before the endzone, ended up breaking the plane for the go-ahead touchdown. It left QB Matt Stafford and the Lions more than enough time to go back down the field and try to win the game for themselves. Thanks to a successful Atlanta 2-point conversion, the Lions needed a touchdown and an extra point to win. On the second to last play of the game, Stafford heaved the ball to WR Kenny Golladay, the man who had a huge game, who leaped up and made a spectacular contested grab at the Falcons 11 yard line. After a spike, Detroit only needed an 11 yard touchdown on the game’s final play. After running around an extending the play, Stafford threw a pass to his TE T.J. Hockenson, who had separated from his defender for an unbelievable touchdown to tie the game at 22. All Matt Prater needed to do for the win was hit the extra point, and he did just that. It was another awful, disgraceful, unbelievable loss for the Falcons, who are seemingly doing this just to mess with us at this point. These horrible blown games and ridiculous mistakes are happening way too often for this not to be some sort of prank or social experiment. Regardless, Atlanta is now 1-6 and reeling more than ever. This was the 2nd consecutive win for the Lions, albeit against two of the league’s worst teams, but it must feel good for them to be getting their season back on track. They now sit at .500 and are trending upwards. I doubt it will continue, but again, it was much needed for this team.
Browns 37-34 Bengals 
The 2nd battle for Ohio this season was even better than its predecessor. This game was a wildly entertaining shootout from start to finish, highlighted by two incredible QB performances. Browns QB Baker Mayfield and Bengals QB Joe Burrow were going back and forth all afternoon long in Cincinnati, especially in the 4th quarter. The Bengals entered the final period up by 3, and what followed was 15 minutes of pure offense and adrenaline. There were 5 lead changes in the 4th, all of which coming on touchdown passes. The Browns struck first on a pass to David Njoku to go up 24-20. Burrow responded right back with a TD to his fellow rookie, WR Tee Higgins, who has emerged as a star in the Cincy offense. Once again down 3, Baker found his RB Kareem Hunt on a short score to retake a 4 point lead. With just 66 seconds left to play, Burrow dumped it off to RB Giovani Bernard, who muscled his way across the plane to put the Bengals up 34-31 for what felt like a game-winning score. But, these are the Cincinnati Bengals, so heartbreak was inevitable. With 11 seconds left, Baker Mayfield found rookie WR Donovan Peoples-Jones on an incredible throw and catch on the right corner of the endzone for the definite game-winning touchdown. It was a remarkable back-and-forth affair, and both signal callers played awesome football. Mayfield finished the game 22-28 with 297 yards and 5 passing touchdowns. Burrow was incredible as always, throwing for 406 yards and 3 touchdowns in addition to running in a score in the first quarter. The Bengals may be losing a lot of games, but the #1 overall pick has kept them in all of them. He is truly special. For Cleveland, it was a good bounce back game that the team needed to get back on track after last week’s embarrassment in Pittsburgh. I still don’t have much faith in them, but there is no denying that they look good. However, it’ll be an uphill battle without WR Odell Beckham Jr., who unfortunately suffered a torn ACL in the first quarter of this game. We can only hope that he has a speedy, healthy recovery.
Steelers 27-24 Titans 
2020’s final battle of unbeatens did not disappoint. The Steelers got off to a blazing hot start, taking the ball 75 yards on 16 plays on the game’s opening possession, with a duration of over NINE (9) minutes, for a touchdown. They would score the first 14 points of the game and held a 24-7 lead at halftime. QB Ben Roethlisberger was playing a clean, efficient game, throwing 2 first half touchdowns, both to WR Diontae Johnson, who has emerged as one of the deadliest weapons in this stacked Pittsburgh offense. Meanwhile, Tennessee’s offense was being stifled by the Steelers’ stellar defense, as QB Ryan Tannehill couldn’t get things going through the air and RB Derrick Henry was being stuffed play after play on the ground. However, the second half was a different story. The Steelers extended their lead to 20 with a field goal, and what followed was a relentless comeback effort by the Titans. It started with WR A.J. Brown taking a short catch on a slant route 73 yards to the house, leaving several Steelers DBs in the dust. The Titans added a field goal late in the 3rd after a poor interception by Big Ben to cut the lead to 10. The Steelers then went on a masterful drive, going 72 yards on a whopping 16 plays, chewing up over 7.5 minutes of clock. Unfortunately for them, the drive came to an abrupt stop thanks to another very bad interception thrown by Roethlisberger in the endzone to set the Titans up with a golden opportunity to go right back down the field to tie or win the game. Tannehill did just that led his team all the way down to the Steelers 28, setting up a very makable game-tying FG for kicker Stephen Gostowski, who has hit several game winning kicks this season. His kick from 45 was straight for a short while, but ended up sailing right and missed narrowly, preventing the game from going into overtime and giving the Titans their first loss since last year’s AFC Championship Game. The Steelers did deserve to win this game for outplaying Tennessee for virtually the whole game, but you can’t help but feel for the Titans, who almost pulled off another incredible comeback. The Steelers improved to 6-0, and, thanks to the Seahawks loss later on Sunday, are now the NFL’s lone undefeated team. They looked very good at times against the Titans, but Roethlisberger was way too errant late, and they had no business almost blowing the game. They may be the last team without a loss, but I don’t think they are the best team in the league. I will say that they’re pretty damn close.
Saints 27-24 Panthers 
This was a pretty fun game in the Superdome. It was somewhat of a homecoming for Panthers QB Teddy Bridgewater, who is arguably only a starting QB now because of what he was able to do in relief of Drew Brees last season in New Orleans. Teddy and his Panthers got off to a bit of a slow start, as the Saints jumped out to an early 14-3 lead thanks to a phenomenal touchdown catch by TE Jared Cook and a patented leap for a touchdown by QB Drew Brees. Carolina was able to respond in a big way, as Bridgewater launched a perfect deep ball to WR D.J. Moore, who was wide open against a struggling Saints secondary, for a 74-yard score. The Panthers were able to reach the endzone with Moore again before the end of the half, as he took an end around for a 7-yard touchdown to put them up 17-14. Brees led a clutch 2-minute drill drive in response, as he found WR Deonte Harris for a 4-yard touchdown pass with just 2 seconds left in the half to retake the lead going into the break. In the third quarter, the Saints went up by 7 thanks to a field goal, and the Panthers were able to tie the game on another run by a receiver, this time with Curtis Samuel scoring a 5-yard touchdown. Both defenses were able to hold for the rest of the game, but thanks to a Saints FG with just under 8 minutes to play, New Orleans was able to escape with a narrow victory against their division rival. It wasn’t easy at the end, though. Panthers HC Matt Rhule had one of the ballsiest decisions of the season thus far, attempting a game-tying field goal from 65 yards out with 2 minutes left. It would have been the longest field goal in NFL history had it gone in, and Panthers kicker Joey Slye almost did just that. It came up just a few yards short, and the Panthers lost. Carolina put up a good fight, but there is no doubt that they were the inferior team on Sunday. Their leading rusher had just 12 yards, and they struggled to move the ball at times against a Saints defense which has had many issues of its own this year. New Orleans has now ripped off 3 straight wins and are right back in the NFC South title race. Their next two games are against 5-2 squads: Chicago and Tampa Bay. One of those games is not like the other. Their Week 9 contest against the Bucs might just be the deciding game in this division. They should definitely not look ahead, but it’ll be hard not to.
Bills 18-10 Jets 
Perhaps the snoozefest of the week. Maybe I should start handing that award out every Tuesday. Most games with the Jets in it would win the award. New York actually got off to a shocking 10-0 lead on Sunday thanks to Buffalo’s offense still being on the bus. The Bills were finally able to wake up on both sides of the ball, but never to the tune of a touchdown. They saw what the Broncos did in New England in Week 6 and thought, “It’d be pretty neat if we did that.” Kicker Tyler Bass knocked through 6 field goals, and that was all that was needed to beat the Jets. It helped that New York amassed an incredible, amazing, wonderful FOUR YARDS in the ENTIRE second half. Four. They moved the ball 12 feet. In 30 minutes. Just when you thought the Jets couldn’t reach a new low, they go out there and do it. What a sad game for both parties. The Bills need to solve these offensive struggles quickly. Yes, they racked up over 422 yards of offense, but not scoring a touchdown all game long? Against the Jets? A bit embarrassing.
Washington 25-3 Cowboys 
I’ll admit it. This was fun. Very, very fun. I know I’ve been a complete cynic about this entire Washington Football Team season, but how could I now enjoy a complete clobbering of the Cowboys? I live for games like this. Even in a tank and in the midst of an embarrassing season, I will accept this all day long. From start to finish, this was a complete domination by Washington. QB Kyle Allen led an impressive opening drive that culminated in an overturned touchdown to Terry McLaurin and a 4th and goal stop by the Dallas defense, but the WFT defense still secured points by forcing a fumble by Cowboys QB Andy Dalton that was recovered by the offense in the endzone for a safety. Washington got the ball right back and ran right down the Cowboys’ throats in a drive that ended with a 12-yard touchdown by rookie RB Antonio Gibson, who has become a star and a true RB1 in this offense. In the 2nd quarter, up 9-3, Washington WR Terry McLaurin and Cowboys rookie DB Trevon Diggs were seen jawing at each other after a play. McLaurin casually responded by absolutely burning Diggs on the next play and catching a beautiful deep ball by Kyle Allen for a 52-yard score. Terry celebrated by rocking the ball like a baby to add insult to injury. Washington wasn’t done scoring in the 2nd half, as Allen found TE Logan Thomas on a short pass that Thomas took 15 yards for another touchdown to put the WFT up 22-3. For the second consecutive game, Dallas’ offense never got going, even for a second. Andy Dalton was struggling against a solid Washington defense that wasn’t letting him breathe. It was a breakout game from LB Cole Holcomb, who had his hands all over the game with an interception and a very impressive sack in which he bulldozed RB Ezekiel Elliot in pass protection. In the second half, Dalton suffered a very unfortunate concussion while sliding thanks to a horrible cheap shot by LB Jon Bostic. Bostic would be ejected from the game. The entire second half was a punt-fest, as the only score was a 4th quarter Washington field goal. Overall, it was a remarkably balanced game by the Washington offense, throwing for 189 yards and rushing for 208. Gibson had 128 yards (the highest total in the league this week) and a score on 20 carries. It was a different story for Dallas, who put up a measly 142 yards with just 54 coming through the air. This is the same team that led the league in passing yards coming into this week. Of course, that is thanks to Dak Prescott, who this team misses dearly. This season is unequivocally over for the Cowboys, and I am quite happy that a loss to us was the final domino to fall in this disaster of a season in Dallas.
Packers 35-20 Texans 
As I predicted, this was a complete masterclass from Aaron Rodgers. The Packers QB played an incredible game against the Texans, as Green Bay dominated from wire to wire. Rodgers to WR Davante Adams was the story of the game, with ARod throwing for 283 yards and 4 TDs and Adams catching 13 of those passes for 196 yards and 2 touchdowns. RB Jamaal Williams also had himself a nice game in relief of the injured Aaron Jones, accounting for 77 yards on the ground and scoring a touchdown. Houston was able to get going offensively only one they were down by 3 scores, and they never had a shot at coming back. This team is simply lacking on both sides of the ball and don’t have what it takes at all to compete with elite teams. You can only hope that they hire the right coach in January. For Green Bay, it was a nice bounce back win after getting ran out of the building last week in Tampa. Momentum is back on their side as they head into the meat of their schedule. I will take this performance with a grain of salt, as Houston is terrible, and I’m excited to see if the Packers actually show up against the best teams on their schedule.
Buccaneers 45-20 Raiders 
Breaking news that has no reason to be breaking: Tom Brady still has it. I really can’t believe people were giving up on this man in Tampa. I was one of the many people that were very concerned with the way his 2019 season ended in New England, but we can clearly see now that it was a product of that team having nothing going for them offensively. Now, in Tampa, with all the weapons in the world and an elite defense, Brady is leading this team to new heights. This game was actually close in the first half, thanks to an opening possession touchdown throw from Raiders QB Derek Carr to WR Nelson Agholor. Brady would respond with 3 first half touchdowns of his own, including a drop dead gorgeous deep ball to WR Scotty Miller for a 33 yard score. Again, if you had your doubts about this man’s ability to throw the football, please exit left. Vegas was able to cut the lead down to just 4 in the fourth quarter thanks to a touchdown and a field goal, but Brady went full closeout mode. It almost reminds you of seeing Mariano Rivera step out of the pen to close a game for the Yankees. Tom led not one, not two, but three consecutive touchdown drives to put Vegas away for good. It was a remarkable performance for the GOAT, who finished with 369 yards passing on 33/45 completion, 4 passing touchdowns, and a rushing touchdown. Brady is more than fine, the Tampa defense is more than fine, and the Bucs are soaring. This is one of the league’s best teams, and they proved it. The Raiders are no joke, despite being .500. They hung around for a long while in this game, they just couldn’t overcome GOAT activity. The team is still loaded with talent and will win a lot of games this year. But the main takeaway has to be Tom Brady, who played so well that he has now entered the MVP conversation. At age 43. Greatness.
Chiefs 43-16 Broncos 
Snow game! Well, kind of. There was snow on the ground and some flurries throughout in this complete walloping of the Broncos by Kansas City. There isn’t a lot to take away from this game other than that Denver is still pretty bad and the Chiefs are still the best team in football. Once again, KC didn’t ask QB Patrick Mahomes to do anything incredible, as they won the game in every facet. Mahomes had just 200 yards passing and a single passing TD on 15 completions. Of the 5 Chiefs touchdowns, one was passing, two were rushing (one of them coming from their backup QB), one was a pick 6, and the other was a kickoff return for a touchdown. The Chiefs became the first team this season to score in all 3 phases, and it was well deserved by a team that excels at playing well-rounded football. The Broncos were never really in it, and QB Drew Lock put up another dud, not throwing a touchdown for the second consecutive game, and throwing 2 more interceptions. Lock is talented, and can get the job done in some games, but I expect Denver to move off him very quickly. I don’t think he has what it takes to be a franchise QB.
49ers 33-6 Patriots 
For the first time in my life, the Patriots are headed to the cellar. New England put up another disgusting game on offense, and it was largely thanks to QB Cam Newton playing his worst game in a Patriots uniform yet. Cam was absolutely atrocious, throwing for 98 yards and 3 ugly interceptions on 9/15 passing en route to being benched in the second half. Once again, the Patriots couldn’t run at all against a 49ers defense that was surprisingly very stingy once again. The run game on the other side of the ball was the story of the game. San Francisco had their way all game long on the ground, despite several injuries to their RBs. Jeff Wilson Jr., who is probably listed as the 4th RB on the depth chart, ran circles around the New England defense to the tune of 112 yards and 3 (!!) touchdowns on just 17 carries. The Patriots, who have been known for their stellar defense in the last few years, got boatraced by a 49ers offense with injuries at seemingly every position. QB Jimmy Garoppolo did throw 2 picks, but one of them only led to 3 points and the other was at the end of the first half. Other than that, Jimmy G was fine, throwing for 277 yards on 80% completion. The Niners are now way back on track, and are above .500 for the first time since Week 3. They are right in the thick of things in the NFC. Meanwhile, New England is falling off a cliff, and they are falling fast. This was their 3rd straight loss, and they are averaging 9.3 points per game in those losses. They have 18 points in the last 2 games, and Cam Newton is playing horrible football. This team only had defense going for them, and now that isn’t even working. This season is over for them. The only question is, what happens now?
Chargers 39-29 Jaguars 
The world is starting to realize a truth that I have been preaching for years: Justin Herbert is the god damn truth. The rookie QB out of Oregon has done nothing but perform in his 5 starts, and he finally got his first win on Sunday. As if his play in his first 4 starts wasn’t good enough, he played arguably his best game in Inglewood against the Jags in Week 7. The rook tossed for 347 yards and 3 touchdowns in addition to being the team’s leading rusher with 66 yards and a rushing touchdown. All 3 of his touchdowns went to 3 different receivers as well. It was really a game of runs, as the Chargers jumped out to a 16-0 lead, but the Jags came back quickly with 3 touchdowns to go up 21-16. The third quarter was like a heavyweight fight, with both offenses scoring touchdown after touchdown. Down by 7, Herbert found WR Jaylen Guyton on a beautiful deep ball down the right sideline for a 70 yard touchdown to tie the game, and less than 2 minutes later, Herbert ran in the go-ahead score to put the Chargers in front for good. It was a very entertaining game that was close for a long time, but the Chargers were the better team from start to finish. Although it took him 5 games to get his first win, there is no doubt that Herbert is leading this team to do big things. Yes, it was the Jaguars, but Herbert has played this well in every game. He is a bonafide franchise QB, and the Chargers must be thanking their lucky stars to have him.
Cardinals 37-34 Seahawks 
Game of the Year. No other way to put it. I was initially a little bit unenthusiastic about this game being flexed into primetime, but I was proven very wrong. This was wild, can’t-miss action from start to finish. This is gonna be quite the long recap, but here we go. Seattle got off to a hot start, scoring the game’s first 10 points, including an opening drive touchdown from QB Russell Wilson to WR Tyler Lockett. The Cardinals got on the board late in the 1st quarter with a beautiful deep ball touchdown throw from QB Kyler Murray to WR DeAndre Hopkins. The two have upped their chemistry game after game, and are quickly becoming one of the best QB-WR duos in football. Seattle got another field goal and were driving down the field when one of the craziest plays of the year happened. Russ was looking for a man on a quick throw to the endzone, but Cardinals S Budda Baker read the play like a book and picked it off and was gone down the near sideline. It seemed like nobody would stop Baker on his way to the endzone, but Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf was running him down with straight-line speed that I have never seen before, and brought Baker down at the Seahawks 8 yard line. It was an absolutely unbelieveable play by Metcalf, and it paid huge dividends. Despite being gifted an 8-yard field, Arizona failed to reach the endzone after 4 plays, and Seattle got the ball right back. They would go down and score again, this time with a 24 yard run by RB Carlos Hyde, who became the lead back on Sunday night due to an injury to Chris Carson. The Cardinals were able to get back in the endzone, as Murray found WR Christian Kirk for a short touchdown with 74 seconds left in the half. That seemingly did it for the half, but Russell Wilson said no. With 43 seconds left, Russ threw an absolutely perfect, beautiful deep ball to Tyler Lockett for another touchdown. The ball went so high that the SNF booth dubbed it a “moon ball”, which is the perfect way to describe it. The Cards would add a field goal to go into the half down 10. The lone score of the third quarter was a Kyler Murray 5-yard TD run. The Seahawks found themselves driving again in the fourth quarter, but Russ threw a questionable endzone interception to CB Patrick Peterson to set up a huge drive for the Cardinals, who just needed a field goal to tie the game or a touchdown to take the lead. Instead, on the first play of the drive, Kyler Murray threw an interception of his own, setting up another Seahawks touchdown. It was another gorgeous ball from Wilson to Lockett, who had himself a mammoth night. Lockett finished with 200 yards receiving on 15 catches with 3 touchdowns. It was his second game with 3 touchdowns this year, which is just remarkable. The touchdown put Seattle up by 10 with under 7 minutes to go, but the Cardinals refused to say die. With 2:28 to play, Kyler found Christian Kirk for another touchdown score to cut the lead to just 3. The defense got a stop, and Murray led a clutch drive down to the Seattle 27. Kicker Zane Gonzalez booted the game-tying kick through, and we were headed to overtime. And it was wild. The Seahawks got the ball first, but couldn’t get anything going on offense, so they punted the ball to Arizona. The Cards themselves were able to move the ball, as RB Chase Edmonds got all the way down to the Seattle 33 on a 32 yard scamper. Arizona ended up getting all the way down to the Seattle 23, setting up a game-winning field goal attempt for Gonzalez. And in classic Seattle-Arizona SNF overtime fashion, he hooked it wide left. Seattle was back in business, only needing to go 40 yards or so, with the most clutch player in football under center. With just 73 seconds left in the OT period, Seattle called a screen for D.K. Metcalf, who soared down the near sideline for the game-winning touchdown. Or so we thought. The play was called back for a holding call on a block by WR David Moore. Back on the other side of the 50, on 3rd and 14, Russell Wilson threw an inexplicable INT on a clear miscommunication to Cardinals rookie LB Isaiah Simmons, who gave Arizona another chance to win it. Lo and behold, with another opportunity to win it, from 48 yards out, Zane Gonzalez nailed the game-winner to win the game for the Cardinals. It was one of the wildest, most fun, and most spectacular regular season games I’ve seen in a very long time. It was the first loss of the year for Seattle, who shouldn’t hang their hats too much. Russ was pretty special with 388 yards passing and 3 beautiful touchdowns, and was even the leading rusher with 84 yards. However, his 3 picks were pretty bad, and the last one cost his team the game. If that doesn’t happen, this game probably ends in a tie. But now, Seattle has a loss. This was the 3rd consecutive win for Arizona, who now sits very comfortably at 5-2, right in the thick of the NFC West race. Kyler Murray was spectacular, throwing for 360 yards and 3 touchdowns while adding 67 yards and a score on the ground. Both of these teams will be playing in January, and I cannot wait to see the next game between them. What. A. Game.
Rams 24-10 Bears 
This game was a very, very close runner up for Snoozefest of the Week™. It was virtually unwatchable. At least the other 2 primetime games this week were awesome. The Rams controlled this game from start to finish, and Chicago was truly never in it. Jared Goff had himself a nice night with 219 yards and 2 TDs on 70% completion. The Bears offense was slow and stagnant all night, struggling to move the ball in any capacity against an LA defense that has emerged as one of the league’s best. Every couple of drives, the Rams would go down and score a touchdown, and late in the 3rd quarter, it was 24-3. That was pretty much it, outside of a late fumble return TD by Bears DB Eddie Jackson. Now both of these teams sit at 5-2, but they are two very different 5-2s. The Rams are a bad call away from being 6-1, and thanks to Seattle’s loss, are only a half game away from being in 1st place. They are trending upwards, and playing very good football. Meanwhile, Chicago drops only their second game of the season, but they do not feel like a 5-win team right now. Their defense did not have a good game, and their offense was absolutely awful. QB Nick Foles does not look like a real starter, and their inability to create anything down the field is hurting this team greatly. I’m not sure if this team is a real playoff contender, but it certainly doesn’t feel like it.
