Week 8 of the NFL season is officially in the books. Here’s a weekly look back at the week that was in the NFL.
Sleepwalking through the first half during their Monday Night matinee with the Giants, Tom Brady and the Buccaneers found themselves down 14-6 heading into halftime. Able to force him to hold the ball in the pocket early on in the game, the Giants looked well on their way to handing Tampa Bay their third loss of the season.
Atop the AFC East at the midway point of the season, the Buffalo Bills are looking to capture their first division crown since 1995. A much-improved team offensively in Josh Allen’s third season at quarterback, the Bills currently average over 380 yards per contest, leading to a 6-2 record.
It certainly wasn’t pretty, but the Philadelphia Eagles took down the Dallas Cowboys, 23-9, on Sunday night. With the victory, they remain in first place in the dumpster fire NFC East at 3-4-1.
We are the halfway point of the NFL season, which means it’s time to make some of this year’s NFL Playoff Bracket! Although it is still quite early and there is still plenty of football left, we do have a basic feel for what each team is capable of.
The Cincinnati Bengals (2-5-1) came into their home matchup with the Tennessee Titans (5-2) as seven-point underdogs. They were widely expected to be blown out by the AFC South front-runners but flipped the script with a solid scheme that led to a 31-20 victory.
Chicago Bears receiver Javon Wims was suspended by the NFL for two games on Monday for violating unsportsmanlike conduct rules during Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints.
George Kittle and Jimmy Garoppolo both suffered injuries on Sunday that could be season-ending. Andersen Pickard breaks down the latest news.
Russell Wilson and DK Metcalf torched the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Andersen Pickard recaps the Seattle Seahawks’ commanding victory.
One of the hottest team’s in the NFL through eight weeks; the Pittsburgh Steelers are riding high with a record of 7-0. Back to their old form after an injury to Ben Roethlisberger derailed the team’s 2019 campaign, the Steelers currently sit atop the AFC and will surely look to be buyers heading into tomorrow’s trade deadline.
The Dolphins were victorious in Tua Tagovailoa’s first NFL start, despite the team’s awful offensive performance. With all the Tua hype entering the game, it was instead the Dolphins defense that carried the team to victory.
The San Francisco 49ers are in a tough spot with a 4-4 record. With that in mind, they’ve entered a slight selling mode. They have dealt all-pro linebacker Kwon Alexander to the New Orleans Saints for a conditional fifth-round pick in 2022 and fellow linebacker Kiko Alonso.
