You betcha weâre going to talk the NFL this morning, I mean, we ARE a sports newsletter. Weâre talking big wins, big losses, the injury bug, and more!
Big PerformancesđĽ:
Seattle Seahawks: In a battle of birds, the Seahawks were victorious over the Falcons. Seattle never trailed in this game and their defense looked like the Seahawks of old. Seattle 34, Falcons 14.
Buffalo Bills: Down going into halftime against a back up QB, the Bills were in serious trouble. Until someone woke them up from their siesta. Buffalo scored 27 unanswered points in the second half, including a TD pass to new a Bill, Amari Cooper!
Saquon Barkley: Returning to MetLife for the first time as a Philadelphia Eagle, Barkley was ready to roll. The former Giants first-round pick felt right at home with 176 yards on 17 carries, averaging over 10 yards per carry.
Commanders: It started with a 67-yard interception return by Dante Fowler Jr., and it didnât stop there. The Commanders absolutely dominated the Panthers, leading by the score of 37-0 in the fourth quarter. Washingtonâs QB Jayden Daniels did leave the game with a rib injury, but the offense didnât skip a beat with backup QB Marcus Mariota.
Down to the Wiređ¤:
Super Bowl Rematch: The Chiefs were able to handle business against the 49ers yesterday, with a final score of 28-18. It was a two-point game going into the fourth quarter but the Chiefs took over from there. Touchdowns on back-to-back drives knock the wind out of the Niners.
Vikings No Longer Unbeaten: In a matchup of the two best in the NFC North, the Lions were able to prevail on the road. A late FG by Jake Bates gave the Lions the lead. The Vikings scored three separate times in the fourth quarter but it wasnât enough as the Lions now sit atop the division.
Injury Bugđ:
Deshaun Watson: The Browns already are down in the dumps, but things got worst yesterday when their starting QB, Deshaun Watson, was carted off the field with what looks to be a torn Achilles. The Browns will turn to either Dorian Thompson-Robinson or Jameis Winston to finish out the season at QB.
Brandon Aiyuk: The offseason drama of Brandon Aiyuk and his trade request out of San Francisco came to an end a month or two. Now, the Niners fear that Aiyuk has a torn ACL. The star WR will undergo further testing today.
Jayden Daniels: The rookie sensation left yesterdayâs blow-out of the Panthers with a rib injury he suffered on a scramble. He will undergo more tests today and his status is currently uncertain. Luckily for Washington, it doesnât seem too bad for the young gunslinger.
