NY at ATL: No Joe Mixon means a bad time for New York. Roethlisberger's decision-making is very poor, although the arm talent is clearly still there. Watching Ben nail Gio Bernard in the head on a pass two feet away was hilarious. The New York defense mostly forced long marches down the field instead of giving up immediate scores, but blowing opportunities like fumbling an interception (twice!) led to yet another loss. Then Ben getting hurt was an unnecessary kick in the balls.

BUF at PIT: What an embarrassing game for both teams. Pittsburgh couldn't hold on to the ball one bit, and Aaron Donald murdered Drew Brees on the rare occasions Pittsburgh actually tried to run an offense. Buffalo still couldn't score with all those opportunities. Everyone should just be glad we don't have to see this game again.

NO at NE: Back to normal for New England after their offensive explosion against the hapless Texans last week. Likewise, New Orleans couldn't score if you handed them the ball in the opponent's endzone. Now, handing them the ball at the twenty, that they can do. Turnovers secured the win for New Orleans and dealt New England a crushing blow to their playoff hopes.

ARI at OAK: Having to deal with Brady's quick release instead of a crappy backup looked like a tough bit of a luck for the Cards, but his reinjury opened the door again for the Cards. Derrick Nnadi was a terror up the middle, while Steven Sims was a hero for preventing two turnovers early. Goff's penchant for throwing deep to covered receivers didn't hurt as much as it should given Barkley's dominant rushing. Arizona needed this game to build up morale after a string of close losses. We should all take a moment to revel in the glory of the rare punter touchdown.

HOU at LA: The LA offensive line struggled to keep Lamar Jackson clean, which led to inaccurate throws and held back the offense. Meanwhile, the Texans weren't great in their own passing game, but Jordan Scarlett ripped off a huge kickoff return at the start of the 2nd half to give the Texans a quick and easy touchdown run to put them up an insurmountable 24 points. LA had their traditional second-half surge on offense but too little, too late. Watching Wentz repeatedly run with the ball even though he has four wide-open receivers downfield is going to give me an aneurysm.

GB at TB: This defensive struggle took a long time to really get going. Both teams were lucky to not be down big early on. A 3rd quarter had the potential to hand this to Tampa Bay, but Zeke's fumble bailed Green Bay out, only to be immediately thrown away by Stafford on an interception. Green Bay's offense just isn't the same without the every-down threat of Aaron Jones, so the Pack have to hope he's healthy and available for a playoff run.

WAS at SF: Dak is borderline lethal when he has time to throw to his excellent skill players, and Washington was kind enough to give him that time this week. That leaping interception with the game in doubt early in the 4th was an impressive play that went to waste immediately. What a brutal loss for San Francisco. On the other side, Washington still isn't technically out of the playoff mix but it doesn't look good.

CLE at DEN: No Josh Jacobs again as Deshaun Watson had a pretty terrible day passing. The Cleveland defense mostly smothered Denver, but an inability to put points up themselves doomed the Browns. Cleveland's playoff hopes got help from other wild cards' stumbles, but a win would have been nice.

WEEK 10 Preview

 

patriots at falcons

If anyone can stop the falcons, its the patriots. You cant win a shootout with atlanta, you have to smother them, and limit your own mistakes.

Big games for the Pats as they currently control their own destiny but have 4 teams sniffing at their heels


raiders at steelers

the steelers are definitely posed to go 5-5 and be fully in contention for the last WC spot after this day is done. Brady may be hurt, and the steelers have a good defense.


rams at saints

elimination game here as both teams need to win out to have a shot at the postseason. 


packers at jets

both teams at 4-5, so this could definitely be an elimination game. Packers missing Jones, and Jets missing Mixon and Big Ben, so the winner may be determined by who comes back


buttmunchers at texans

Over/Under Chubb for 170 yards. Texans feast on teams with medicore to bad defenses, and this game should be no different


browns at cardinals

playoff implications. I dont really know what to make of either of these teams, so its gonna be a treat when the enigmas battle


49ers at broncos

yikes.....if counselor loses, definite upset of the year

 

buccaneers at bills

Matchup of the week.

bills hope to keep their dreams for a bye alive, and the bucs hope to virtually ensure they get into the playoffs. seeding is definitely on the line here too.
