![]() ![]() There were nine receivers with 100-yard games. Houston's Lamar Miller gained 106 yards on 28 carries in a win over Chicago. ¦ Need another reminder that the NFL is a passing league? There was one running back that gained 100 yards this week prior to the Monday night doubleheader. The 40-year-old McDaniels' work with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was impressive in Sunday night's 23-21 win at Arizona. McDaniels proving he can make his offense work without Tom Brady will be a huge resume builder. Even if New England makes the Super Bowl, expect at least one team needing a head coach to wait it out. His Denver debacle as head coach (2009-10) has been erased by another brilliant stint with the Patriots. ¦ Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels will be able to name his job this offseason. Imagine how bad it might have been if Indianapolis had to worry about Calvin Johnson ? That was too many points to give the lowly Lions before Megatron retired. It appeared the Colts were going to struggle on defense and that held true in a 39-34 loss to Detroit. After surprisingly keeping Pagano and Grigson after last season, Irsay might be having second thoughts. ¦ Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay smiling and hugging coach Chuck Pagano and general manager Ryan Grigson is becoming a distant memory. He's now on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. ¦ The Browns were too wrapped up in salvaging quarterback Robert Griffin III. You don't pick the guy, then let him beat you. The rookie was out for the preseason with a rib injury and looked good in his debut. I don't care that it was against Cleveland. He didn't prove he can beat a defense deep in the Broncos' win over Carolina. ¦ I'm selling quarterback Trevor Siemian as the long-term option in Denver. Green caught 12 of the 13 passes thrown to him for 180 yards and a touchdown. The 10-year veteran is 31 and couldn't hold up. Darrelle Revis has been the league's dominant corner in his prime, but those days are over. Green might have sunk Revis Island in a 23-22 win over the New York Jets. However, Oakland's rebuild looks closer to completion than the Jaguars as of now. The real indication will come when the two teams play each other on Oct. Oakland overcame a difficult environment. Green Bay is a better team than New Orleans, but the Jaguars couldn't win on their own field. The Jaguars stalled on four downs and lost 27-23. Quarterback Blake Bortles led the offense down to the Packers' 23-yard line with a first down and 52 seconds to play. The Jaguars had already used all three timeouts, another concern moving forward. The penalty moved the ball back to the 37. But rookie Jalen Ramsey was called for holding on a play that had no hope of a return. A 34-yard punt went out of bounds at the Jaguars' 47. The Raiders need to fix their penalty issues (14 for 141 yards), but that will never change.ĭefensively, they made a huge three-and-out, forcing Green Bay to punt with 3:17 left. Quarterback Derek Carr connecting on a touchdown pass to receiver Seth Roberts and then a two-point conversion pass to receiver Michael Crabtree with 47 seconds left will give Oakland confidence to draw from. The Raiders shook off a 98-yard touchdown pass from New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees to receiver Brandin Cooks that gave the Saints a 24-10 lead midway through the third quarter.įor many young teams, that would be a kill shot. Oakland outscored New Orleans 22-10 in the fourth quarter to win 35-34 - in the Superdome. However, Sunday's action showed why the Raiders may be closer to achieving their playoff goals. The Oakland Raiders remain a step ahead of the Jaguars.īoth franchises have a strong nucleus of young talent. ![]()
