Dallas 18 WFT 0. Gee, Ron Rivera, maybe Mike McCarthy saying that the Cowboys were going to win didn't "fire up" your team after all.
Browns up 17-0 on the Ravens, and Lamar has an ankle injury. Cam with the absolutely terrible pick six.
Miles Garrett with his 15th sack of the season, a strip sack that causes a fumble that he picks up and runs in for a touchdown.
Case Keenum in for Baker Mayfield, with Cleveland having an 18-point lead. No apparent medical reason for it, but it was after a hit from a lineman.
Trevor Lawrence having another bad game for Jacksonville. Have to go back to 2014 to find a year where the top three draft picks had as little positive impact in their rookie seasons as has been the case this year.
Every time I think the Jets have finally accidentally found good timing and are drafting in a QB rich draft, it ends up being a crap draft.
Ravens gets a touchdown, and then successfully execute an onside kick. Two points down, on their own 41. Next four plays: incomplete pass, sack for 10 yard loss, 14 yard pass completion, 2 yard pass completion. Browns win. A Bengals win in the late window puts them in first place in the AFC North.
Dak with a pathetic pick six, and WFT is within 7 points with 4:13 left after the extra point is blocked.
WFT gets the 3-and-out, but Kyle Allen (in for the injured Taylor Heinicke) gets sacked and fumbles it away to Dallas. Looks like Cowboys won't blow the 27-8 lead with 5 minutes left in the game.
So, at what point do we wonder if maybe the Jet's PR/Marketing staff have figured out the golden angle to getting the rest of the NFL to salivate over crap QB's? I'm not an Illuminati type guy but 21st century Marketing forces are malign and the Jets appear to be caught under their spell.
Maybe the Jets are just a dummy organization at this point. Existing to highlight the greatness of the Patriots while playing a background role to the stars in the league. The Globetrotters weren't the Globetrotters without a group of gangly white boys to kick the shit out of every weekend.
I definitely could see the Jets playing Washington Generals to the Patriots Globetrotters. It's like the two teams are playing by the same rules but at completely different competence levels that are so far apart that the game doesn't look the same, especially when they get together. Butt Fumble to 54-13 demolition that kick-started the Patriots. That's two teams playing at completely different and uncompetitive levels. Joe Douglas and Robert Saleh have maybe a 1% chance to make the Jets competitive with the Patriots and I think I am being generous in that assessment.
The Giants go to the half down 24-7. They have been outscored 59-0 this year in the final 2 minutes of the first half, the only team to be scoreless in the final 2 minutes. Saquon with 10 touches: 1 for a 15 yard reception, the other 9 for 23 total yards.
Niners take advantage and score the TD just before the half. Have a feeling Phillips won't be seeing the field again for a while.
Giovanni Bernard looks like he's napping on the field....hope he's ok. Just on his side laying there..
