WEBVTT - NFL Week 3 FULL SLATE Preview 0:00:00.220 --> 0:00:03.490 What's up, everybody? Game Preview Guy here with your Week 0:00:03.490 --> 0:00:06.230 3 Breakdowns. Got some teams having to go at it 0:00:06.269 --> 0:00:09.809 with backup quarterbacks and the return of a starter making 0:00:09.850 --> 0:00:14.300 his 2026 debut on Thursday Night Football. Atlanta Falcons head 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:16.400 to Green Bay on a short week, still in search 0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:19.020 of their first win, hoping a new quarterback might do 0:00:19.060 --> 0:00:22.290 the trick. Otherwise, the Dirty Bird's nickname is going to 0:00:22.310 --> 0:00:28.510 get swapped out with the Boo Birds. Packers coming off 0:00:28.550 --> 0:00:31.610 their first win, kind of a nail-biter, but better than 0:00:31.650 --> 0:00:39.409 hitting Week 3 with a donut in the win column. Hey, 0:00:41.590 --> 0:00:44.449 OT win over the Jets, and the Cheeseheads can still 0:00:44.490 --> 0:00:47.040 talk smack in this case. It wasn't supposed to be 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:49.460 that hard, but nobody will care how you came up 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:52.560 with your Week 2 win after 18 weeks if you're 0:00:52.580 --> 0:00:55.780 in the playoffs. And Titletown won't care if their defense 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:57.820 keeps playing the way it did a week ago. 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:01.040 Smith, he escapes, and now it's taken down. 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:05.250 After looking shaky versus Minnesota Week 1, second half especially, 0:01:05.340 --> 0:01:08.490 Packers defense looking to carry over their Week 2 play 0:01:08.770 --> 0:01:11.980 to this TNF game. held the Jets to 17 points, 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.430 fewer than 300 yards, and to a meager 4 yards 0:01:15.510 --> 0:01:20.190 per play. LVN just wants to keep LIVI in. Lucas 0:01:20.230 --> 0:01:24.399 Van Ness, 3 tackles for loss, 4 quarterback hits, 10 tackles. 0:01:24.830 --> 0:01:26.790 One and a half of Green Bay's four sacks. 0:01:27.010 --> 0:01:28.870 Lucas Van Ness, he's the one that's going to come 0:01:29.069 --> 0:01:32.030 up and under. Once he does that, it flushes Geno 0:01:32.060 --> 0:01:34.200 Smith out of the pocket right into the rest of 0:01:34.220 --> 0:01:34.780 the defense. 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.660 Edgerin Cooper with a sack, too. He's got one in 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:41.080 each game so far. They'll be chasing Michael Penix Jr. 0:01:41.140 --> 0:01:43.920 around this week, and boy, does Rise Up need him. 0:01:44.300 --> 0:01:46.720 Falcons Week 2 quarterbacks took three sacks. 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.930 Lloyd with that big-time stop. Again, the Bluebirds are out. 0:01:50.030 --> 0:01:52.950 Right tackle Juwan Taylor's pressure rate allowed on the high 0:01:53.010 --> 0:01:54.870 side for the second week in a row, and he'll 0:01:54.890 --> 0:01:58.590 be protecting the blind side. Cooper Rush, two INTs, no 0:01:58.650 --> 0:02:03.290 touchdowns last week after an ineffective opener. Jack Strand relieved 0:02:03.330 --> 0:02:06.750 him last week and got picked off, too. A 28 rating, 0:02:06.780 --> 0:02:07.950 a pick six. 0:02:08.260 --> 0:02:10.579 It's Lloyd again. Touchdown. 0:02:11.389 --> 0:02:15.090 Offense posted 13 Week 1 points, followed it with three, 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.359 so when you account for the pick six, they were 0:02:17.419 --> 0:02:20.220 minus four points for the day. Rare when you would 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.960 have done better punting all day on first down. And 0:02:23.020 --> 0:02:25.820 still afraid to knock on Scott Hansen's door, as they 0:02:25.860 --> 0:02:29.360 haven't made it past the 20-yard line once in two games? 0:02:29.780 --> 0:02:32.700 Fans weren't pretending to be ghosts for Halloween or anything 0:02:32.740 --> 0:02:36.060 last week. The boos raining down were directed at Kevin 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:37.260 Stefanski and the team. 0:02:37.650 --> 0:02:39.030 Intercepted by Lloyd. 0:02:39.050 --> 0:02:41.130 He never saw him, and it's the second time he 0:02:41.169 --> 0:02:41.610 did that. 0:02:42.050 --> 0:02:46.450 Devin Lloyd finally caught from behind inside the 20. 0:02:46.450 --> 0:02:49.290 It was remarkable that Drake London ended last week with 0:02:49.290 --> 0:02:50.650 51 yards, really. 0:02:51.030 --> 0:02:53.730 Again, a play fake to Robinson, and they find London, 0:02:53.770 --> 0:02:56.490 Drake London, who has a chance to become one of 0:02:56.510 --> 0:02:59.290 the great receivers in the NFL once his career's done. 0:02:59.570 --> 0:03:03.030 No other Falcons pass catchers with even 21 receiving yards. 0:03:03.150 --> 0:03:08.680 Kyle Pitts, 15. Jahan Dotson, 11. Bijan Robinson, just nine. 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.660 London Pennix, Robinson and company up against a Packers secondary 0:03:12.700 --> 0:03:16.200 that did give up over 240 passing yards to Geno Smith. 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:20.300 Cornerback Keyshawn Nixon gave up a team high 85 yards. 0:03:20.620 --> 0:03:24.250 They gave up 57 yards in a TD to Garrett Wilson. corner, 0:03:24.310 --> 0:03:26.930 Brandon Cisse gave up a touchdown for the second week 0:03:26.950 --> 0:03:27.390 in a row. 0:03:27.690 --> 0:03:30.790 I told you how freakishly athletic Garrett Wilson is. You 0:03:30.810 --> 0:03:33.490 put it anywhere in his vicinity, he's going to catch 0:03:33.550 --> 0:03:36.250 it as he just did for a nice touchdown for 0:03:36.270 --> 0:03:36.690 the Jets. 0:03:36.990 --> 0:03:39.950 Packers come off another strong showing versus the run though. 0:03:40.210 --> 0:03:43.180 They held Brees Hall to 1.8 a carry on his 0:03:43.180 --> 0:03:46.260 16 tries after holding both Minnesota backs to fewer than 0:03:46.340 --> 0:03:48.040 four yards per carry week one. 0:03:48.500 --> 0:03:52.300 On second down, Hall looks to spin, but Evan Williams 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:52.800 right there. 0:03:53.270 --> 0:03:56.350 Now they test themselves against Bijan, who at least ran 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.960 for 72 yards on 4-5 per carry versus Carolina. 0:04:00.060 --> 0:04:02.559 They do a nice job of blocking up front. Bijan 0:04:02.620 --> 0:04:05.280 runs through one tackle, lowers his shoulders to finish the run. 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:09.640 And the other B-Rob, Brian, with 51 yards, 4-6 per run. 0:04:09.900 --> 0:04:12.750 Strand dumps it off to Brian Robinson. 0:04:13.270 --> 0:04:15.310 That's tough running right there by Brian Robinson. 0:04:15.690 --> 0:04:19.370 Packers offense. Well, it's not rolling in hot. Jordan Love 0:04:19.410 --> 0:04:21.810 did throw for a couple of touchdowns versus the Jets. 0:04:22.110 --> 0:04:25.370 No INTs. Came through late in the game when they 0:04:25.450 --> 0:04:26.270 really needed him. 0:04:26.570 --> 0:04:31.190 Love to the end zone. Touchdown Christian Watson. What a drive. 0:04:31.250 --> 0:04:32.089 What a response. 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:37.159 Only 145 yards, though. Just five yards per attempt. Green 0:04:37.180 --> 0:04:39.940 Bay's offense only 20 points, and it took OT to 0:04:39.980 --> 0:04:43.500 get even that many. Less than 200 yards of total offense. 0:04:43.740 --> 0:04:46.619 One for nine on third down. and not even four 0:04:46.700 --> 0:04:49.960 yards per play, like Lucy, they have some splainin. 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:54.530 To do. 14-7, start from the 14-yard line. Come on, 0:04:54.570 --> 0:04:55.390 watch the football! 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.950 Giving Jonathan Dolma another chance to yell fumble. 0:05:00.529 --> 0:05:01.650 It is chance football. 0:05:02.050 --> 0:05:05.690 Packers fans not thrilled with Matt LaFleur right now. Can 0:05:05.710 --> 0:05:08.110 he get his team going versus the Falcons? It's a 0:05:08.150 --> 0:05:10.960 group that was paddling upstream a lot due to its 0:05:11.020 --> 0:05:13.300 own offense. Gave up 27 points at the end of 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:13.740 the game. 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.900 Young, the pass is wide open and complete to Hubbard. 0:05:17.220 --> 0:05:21.290 Love gets a secondary that allowed 287 yards to Bryce Young. 0:05:21.370 --> 0:05:25.130 Three touchdowns, no picks, a 115-plus rating. They gave up 0:05:25.310 --> 0:05:29.000 over 100 yards to Tedaroa McMillan. Corner Mike Hughes allowed 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:33.380 67 yards, according to NextGenStats. Corner CJ Henderson gave up 0:05:33.420 --> 0:05:38.200 a touchdown. Safety Xavier Watts, a TD, and 67 yards. 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.220 Plenty of options, and there's TMAC again. 0:05:41.790 --> 0:05:45.310 They didn't play Pittsburgh's offense, or Aaron Rodgers' bad week 0:05:45.470 --> 0:05:48.880 one at least. Their DBs dealing with Matthew Golden this week, 0:05:49.180 --> 0:05:51.200 off to a good start so far, led the team 0:05:51.220 --> 0:05:52.800 with 58 yards week two. 0:05:52.940 --> 0:05:56.140 The awareness of Jordan Love, he then just lobs it 0:05:56.220 --> 0:05:59.729 out there to Matthew Golden, like literally lobs it out there. 0:05:59.930 --> 0:06:03.430 Christian Watson, only other Packer to hit 40 yards last week, 0:06:03.770 --> 0:06:06.469 scored for the second week in a row 41 yards. 0:06:06.770 --> 0:06:09.320 Christian Watson right here. And he's going to run this 0:06:09.380 --> 0:06:12.720 slant inside. Half of that field to run that route. 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.460 Jordan Love puts it right on the money for Christian Watson. 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.729 Tight end Tucker Kraft, only 15 yards. Falcons pass rush, 0:06:19.810 --> 0:06:23.010 got to Young twice, and without blitzing him much, pressured 0:06:23.029 --> 0:06:25.849 him a very healthy 51% of the time. 0:06:26.270 --> 0:06:32.070 Samson, Evacom, along with Dexter, Jervon Dexter, collaborating. 0:06:32.570 --> 0:06:36.000 Love took four sacks week one, three sacks on 29 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.279 pass attempts versus the Jets. Right guard Jacob Monk gave 0:06:39.339 --> 0:06:42.479 up a 12% pressure rate. That's high for a guard. 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:46.620 Left tackle Jordan Morgan, the only lineman blamed for a sack, 0:06:46.660 --> 0:06:47.860 according to NGS. 0:06:48.220 --> 0:06:53.000 Love looking. Wrapped up. Lost the football. It's still loose. 0:06:54.500 --> 0:06:57.020 Looks like the Packers have recovered at the bottom of 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:57.500 the pile. 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.880 Along the ground, only 63 rush yards for Green Bay 0:07:00.900 --> 0:07:04.300 a week ago, 3-5 a carry. Caleb Johnson at least 0:07:04.380 --> 0:07:05.520 finished at 4 per. 0:07:05.820 --> 0:07:09.320 It's Johnson up the middle, and Caleb Johnson picks up 0:07:09.370 --> 0:07:10.190 the first. 0:07:10.770 --> 0:07:11.989 Down for the Packers. 0:07:12.310 --> 0:07:16.010 Falcons only gave up 68 rush yards to Carolina, allowed 0:07:16.070 --> 0:07:18.370 Chuba Hubbard to hit a 4-4 a carry on 12 tries. 0:07:20.710 --> 0:07:23.790 Steelers at home this week, hoping some home cooking gets 0:07:23.850 --> 0:07:26.570 them back in the win column, hoping their offense can 0:07:26.670 --> 0:07:30.489 somehow wake up. Fans starting to wave their terrible towels 0:07:30.790 --> 0:07:31.830 at Mike McCarthy. 0:07:32.090 --> 0:07:35.280 Manhandle Anderson, get his hand on the ball, and then. 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.660 Elijah Ponder scoop and score. Cook can't tackle him all 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:39.720 the way to the end zone. 0:07:39.900 --> 0:07:43.160 Getting their O going against the Cincinnati Bengals, though, won't 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.440 be easy. Wait, is that a typo? No, no, that's 0:07:46.460 --> 0:07:49.680 what I'm supposed to read? Okay then, Hootay turning over 0:07:49.740 --> 0:07:51.760 a new leaf in 2026. 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:57.760 Burrow deep for Chase, and he caught it! 0:07:57.780 --> 0:08:00.460 Touchdown! I thought he was falling. 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.740 Meet the Orange Curtain? Okay, maybe that's a bit much, 0:08:03.860 --> 0:08:07.520 but they're not playing like the Bungles anymore. Cincinnati's D-Boys 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.300 have some flex to them heading into Week 3 after 0:08:10.340 --> 0:08:13.440 a four-takeaway Week 1 and only giving up 20 points. 0:08:14.170 --> 0:08:16.810 They hold a Texans offense that went for 31 week 0:08:16.890 --> 0:08:20.330 one points to three. Less than five yards per play. 0:08:20.490 --> 0:08:23.800 Five for 17 on third down. Stopped all four of 0:08:23.830 --> 0:08:25.000 their red zone chances. 0:08:25.740 --> 0:08:27.120 Beautiful sack made. 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.900 Cedric Johnson to clinch the win for Cincinnati. 0:08:32.020 --> 0:08:34.840 Aaron Rodgers looking at a Bengals secondary that gave up 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:39.680 over 350 yards to C.J. Stroud, but he threw 55 times. 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.520 They held him to a nice 6.5 yards per attempt. 0:08:42.860 --> 0:08:46.260 didn't give up any touchdowns, held them to a mid-70s rating. 0:08:47.380 --> 0:08:51.840 Third and 17 to the end zone, and incomplete for Hutchinson. 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.900 And they could keep it going if Pittsburgh's offense doesn't 0:08:54.940 --> 0:08:58.080 step up. Two for 12 on third down, only one 0:08:58.179 --> 0:09:01.730 red zone trip, a piddly 3.5 yards per play. To 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:05.010 put that in perspective, Cleveland finished last in yards per 0:09:05.050 --> 0:09:07.290 play in 2025 with 4.3. 13 week one points, then 0:09:07.530 --> 0:09:13.380 only three versus New England. and lost a fumble that 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.300 was returned for a touchdown, so they were minus four 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:17.840 points when they were out there. 0:09:18.059 --> 0:09:21.620 Rogers only 4.8 yards per attempt last week, only 187 yards, 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:23.469 no touchdowns, got picked off. 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.699 Though it bounced off his receiver, so he's not getting 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:47.260 much help. He needs DK Metcalf to stop dropping passes. 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.640 Been a problem both games. He needs Michael Pittman back 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:54.310 from injury. He needs better pass pro. Took four sacks 0:09:54.330 --> 0:09:57.410 to the pats. Right guard Spencer Anderson gave up one 0:09:57.450 --> 0:10:01.270 with a fat 15% pressure rate, according to NextGenStats.com. It 0:10:01.309 --> 0:10:04.449 was amazing. He got up after that one blindside sack 0:10:04.470 --> 0:10:04.810 he took. 0:10:04.890 --> 0:10:07.130 Christian Ellis is going to creep off the edge and 0:10:07.170 --> 0:10:09.790 be completely unblocked on the blindside. 0:10:09.830 --> 0:10:13.290 And my goodness, what a hit to the back of 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:14.220 Aaron Rodgers. 0:10:14.270 --> 0:10:16.700 Now he gets a Bengals front that barrels in off 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:21.540 back-to-back four sack showings. Shamar Stewart with one. Jonathan Allen 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.980 with one. He has one in each game. And Cedric Johnson, 0:10:25.059 --> 0:10:28.880 two last week. And how about a meager 12% blitz rate? 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.140 A pressure rate over 40, though. 0:10:31.500 --> 0:10:36.410 Down he goes! Sacked on the play. Big time play. 0:10:36.570 --> 0:10:37.390 Pulled in. 0:10:37.590 --> 0:10:41.670 Cincinnati's DBs held all of Houston's wideouts under 40 yards. 0:10:41.710 --> 0:10:43.910 It didn't have to deal with Nico Collins. And they 0:10:43.990 --> 0:10:47.360 did give up 140 yards to Dalton Schultz. Most of 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:50.819 those yards allowed by their linebackers. Barrett Carter gave up 102. 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:56.570 Demetrius Knight, 91. Not one Steeler enters off a 40-plus 0:10:56.590 --> 0:11:04.490 yard receiving game. Jeremy Bernard, 35. Pat Friermuth, 32. Roman Wilson, 28. DK, 0:11:04.910 --> 0:11:09.970 nine targets, 27 yards. And their run game also stumbles in. 0:11:10.330 --> 0:11:13.430 Jalen Warren, only 43 yards and fewer than four yards 0:11:13.490 --> 0:11:17.630 per carry. Rico Dowdle, only 22 yards, 3-1 a try. 0:11:20.710 --> 0:11:22.870 That's Dowdle for about three. 0:11:23.390 --> 0:11:25.949 Bengals defense not the only one that comes in with 0:11:26.050 --> 0:11:29.920 swagger despite losing. Steelers defense did their part holding New 0:11:29.980 --> 0:11:33.250 England's offense to 13 points. They more or less won 0:11:33.270 --> 0:11:35.950 them their week one game. Four for 12 on third 0:11:35.990 --> 0:11:38.790 down a week ago only let New England inside the 0:11:38.790 --> 0:11:39.630 20 once. 0:11:39.710 --> 0:11:44.070 Against Pittsburgh as May looks and takes his loss as 0:11:44.130 --> 0:11:45.480 Highsmith was right there. 0:11:45.500 --> 0:11:46.429 He falls at his feet. 0:11:46.620 --> 0:11:49.059 Joe Burrow looking at a secondary that has yet to 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.280 be dinged this year. While locking up Cooper Rush might 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.040 not look very impressive, they didn't give up any touchdowns 0:11:55.059 --> 0:11:57.940 to Drake May in their most recent contest. Picked him 0:11:58.059 --> 0:11:59.460 off for a mid-70s rate. 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:00.059 Look in the throw. 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:05.500 May. Oh, no. Picked off right into the arms of 0:12:05.580 --> 0:12:06.679 Patrick Queen. 0:12:07.140 --> 0:12:09.520 Now, May and Rush have both looked rough two weeks 0:12:09.540 --> 0:12:12.360 in a row. Burrow comes in off a solid week, too. 0:12:12.740 --> 0:12:15.099 Still hasn't put up a big yardage game, but he 0:12:15.140 --> 0:12:18.490 was clean versus a tough Houston secondary. Two touchdowns, no 0:12:18.540 --> 0:12:21.500 picks last week, a 100-plus rate. 0:12:21.660 --> 0:12:25.709 Third and five to the sideline, and Higgins with a 0:12:25.830 --> 0:12:27.130 great spitting catch. 0:12:27.850 --> 0:12:31.490 Bengals offense scratched out 20 points versus Houston, only one 0:12:31.550 --> 0:12:34.500 red zone trip, only five for 15 on third down, 0:12:34.780 --> 0:12:37.980 and only 4.5 yards per play, so they're hoping for 0:12:38.020 --> 0:12:40.980 a spark. Kind of fits their early season production from 0:12:41.020 --> 0:12:42.010 the last few years. 0:12:42.170 --> 0:12:45.390 Throw, Higgins broken up beautifully on the play by Stingley. 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:49.120 The battle in the trenches. Alex Highsmith, one of their 0:12:49.179 --> 0:12:51.740 three sacks. May only threw 22 times. 0:12:52.059 --> 0:12:52.420 T.J. 0:12:52.500 --> 0:12:55.490 Watt picked up one and a half, had two week one. 0:12:55.850 --> 0:12:59.630 As May is sacked back at the 14. 0:12:59.610 --> 0:13:01.329 And T.J. 0:13:01.530 --> 0:13:02.450 Got to him first. 0:13:02.850 --> 0:13:05.720 Watt now takes on the Cincinnati O-line that saw Burrow 0:13:05.740 --> 0:13:09.439 get gobbled up five times on 31 pass attempts. Highsmith 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.719 will do battle with left tackle Orlando Brown. He gave 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:16.080 up two, according to NGS. Both guards gave up one each. 0:13:16.420 --> 0:13:19.160 Four of their five big uglies gave up pressure rates 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.510 over 11%. That's kind of ugly. 0:13:21.750 --> 0:13:26.750 Junior just plants Burrow into the ground. Watch 97. It's 0:13:26.809 --> 0:13:28.530 a shot to that left shoulder. 0:13:28.870 --> 0:13:32.130 Steelers' backside, of course, will be preoccupied with T. Higgins 0:13:32.250 --> 0:13:35.850 and Jamar Chase. They gave up 96 yards to Romeo Dobbs. 0:13:36.150 --> 0:13:40.020 Safety Rayshawn Jenkins gave up a team-high 63 yards. Tee 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.579 and Jamar, the only two guys with more than 17 0:13:42.580 --> 0:13:46.890 yards versus Houston. Higgins led the team with 95. 0:13:46.890 --> 0:13:49.130 Look at him dodge and wiggle and take it to 0:13:49.150 --> 0:13:50.550 the 31. 0:13:50.550 --> 0:13:54.390 Jamar followed a week one dud with two scores, 75 yards. 0:13:54.410 --> 0:13:56.630 That one catch was phenomenal. 0:13:57.059 --> 0:13:57.819 Oh, let's see. 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.240 He gets the possession and yeah, both feet are down. 0:14:00.620 --> 0:14:05.300 Oh, the contortion. The body control! 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.819 And finally, on handoffs, Chase Brown, rolling in off a 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.470 nice 80-yard game, at least found his way to four 0:14:11.500 --> 0:14:12.370 yards per carry. 0:14:12.370 --> 0:14:15.229 30% of the time last week, he was lined up 0:14:15.309 --> 0:14:15.970 underneath center. 0:14:15.990 --> 0:14:17.010 That's nearly double. 0:14:17.070 --> 0:14:19.530 He draws a Pittsburgh front that gave up a touchdown, 0:14:19.530 --> 0:14:22.890 76 yards on 4-8, a run to Travion Henderson, 7-2 0:14:23.870 --> 0:14:25.470 a carry to Ramondre Stevenson. 0:14:25.910 --> 0:14:27.530 The A-gap, he's going to take this. 0:14:27.570 --> 0:14:28.580 Watch the block here. 0:14:29.290 --> 0:14:31.840 Just huge, huge hole. 0:14:33.540 --> 0:14:36.840 Chargers head east week three, still in search of their 0:14:36.900 --> 0:14:41.470 first win of 2026. The alarms are officially blaring, especially 0:14:41.510 --> 0:14:43.450 when you factor who they play this week. 0:14:43.650 --> 0:14:45.910 And all hand in the face, tackling them there in 0:14:45.930 --> 0:14:48.150 the end zone. And when you get a holding in 0:14:48.190 --> 0:14:51.330 the end zone in the NFL, that is an automatic safety. 0:14:51.650 --> 0:14:53.990 They are in Buffalo paying a visit to the Bills' 0:14:54.130 --> 0:14:58.130 new Highmark Stadium. Team got high marks there last week, 0:14:58.170 --> 0:15:00.860 that's for sure. Set a pretty high bar to live 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:01.220 up to. 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:08.130 Deep drop. Pump fake. Going deep. Wide open. Touchdown, Joshua Palmer. 0:15:09.150 --> 0:15:11.610 What a way to break in their new digs, and 0:15:11.650 --> 0:15:16.330 Stephon wasn't there. Be wary, Bolts. Josh Allen averaging five 0:15:16.390 --> 0:15:19.610 TDs a game in that stadium and has started off 0:15:19.610 --> 0:15:24.770 2026 on fire. Three more passing TDs, 248 yards, has 0:15:24.810 --> 0:15:28.670 a 120-plus rate in each game this year. Five TDs, 0:15:28.850 --> 0:15:30.080 no interceptions in 2026. 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:35.720 Allen fires, and that is held on for touchdown. Kincaid, 0:15:36.140 --> 0:15:36.800 another one. 0:15:38.270 --> 0:15:40.970 And forget the tush push. You need a toe or 0:15:41.010 --> 0:15:43.710 a yard? Josh will get you a yard with green 0:15:43.750 --> 0:15:46.220 nail polish on it. Believe me, there are ways, dude. 0:15:46.430 --> 0:15:48.920 He can get you a yard by 3 o'clock this afternoon. 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.700 Scored twice with his legs, that's back-to-back two rushing TD 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:53.920 outings for Allen. 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:55.060 Rolling. 0:15:55.780 --> 0:15:58.010 He'll run it in. Touchdown. 0:15:59.150 --> 0:16:03.240 It wasn't just one-yard sneaks, either. though he looks unstoppable 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:06.060 if that's all they need. Clocked out with 69 rush 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:09.920 yards last week, too. Chargers defense also facing a hot 0:16:09.970 --> 0:16:13.070 chef in the kitchen. After a ho-hum week one, James 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:18.970 Cook barrels in off a 135-yard, 6.4-per-carry one-score game. 0:16:20.050 --> 0:16:23.430 Watch the block right here by 86. Kincaid on Harper 0:16:23.850 --> 0:16:25.830 takes him out. Now it's one-on-one. 0:16:25.870 --> 0:16:27.970 That jump cut is lethal. 0:16:28.730 --> 0:16:29.630 With James Cook. 0:16:30.130 --> 0:16:30.290 L.A. 0:16:30.290 --> 0:16:33.410 's defense trying to slow down a Buffalo offense that's 0:16:33.470 --> 0:16:37.420 put up 36-plus points in each game, 41 last week, 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:42.070 converting 9-12 on third down. Perfect 5-for-5 in the red zone. 0:16:42.310 --> 0:16:46.160 Second and a goal off the fake. Allen rolling, Allen throwing, 0:16:46.260 --> 0:16:48.410 Allen connecting for the touchdown. 0:16:48.810 --> 0:16:51.730 Allen and company staring down an L.A. defense that allowed 0:16:51.730 --> 0:16:54.650 24 points to the Raiders in their most recent loss, 0:16:54.990 --> 0:16:57.110 had to deal with their own offense giving the ball 0:16:57.130 --> 0:17:00.130 away three times, too, four if you count the safety. 0:17:00.530 --> 0:17:04.709 But that's 24-plus points allowed back-to-back weeks to offenses nowhere 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:06.520 near as dangerous as Buffalo's. 0:17:06.980 --> 0:17:08.500 Caught by Cody White! 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:10.240 What a catch! 0:17:12.660 --> 0:17:15.230 And if they can't keep Kirk Cousins from throwing three 0:17:15.290 --> 0:17:19.230 TDs over 250 yards on 8.7 per attempt for a 0:17:19.230 --> 0:17:22.350 113 rate, then how would they think they can stop 0:17:22.510 --> 0:17:23.300 Allen right now? 0:17:23.340 --> 0:17:27.119 He's going to take a shot. Tucker down there. Touchdown! 0:17:28.100 --> 0:17:31.040 Chargers corner Cam Hart, who had a rough week one, 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:34.060 had a rough week two. Gave up a TD in 0:17:34.060 --> 0:17:36.560 71 yards. Trey Tucker going for 119 yards in a TD. 0:17:38.490 --> 0:17:42.080 against their secondary. Unclear if Allen will have DJ Moore 0:17:42.140 --> 0:17:45.220 this week, left their win over Detroit with a shoulder injury. 0:17:45.540 --> 0:17:49.480 He'll for sure have Khalil Shakir, 38 yards versus Detroit, 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:54.220 50 week one. Joshua Palmer rolls in off back-to-back scoring games, 0:17:54.220 --> 0:17:55.770 43 yards week two. 0:17:56.010 --> 0:17:58.429 Nobody's back on the back end to help out. You 0:17:58.450 --> 0:18:00.850 can see Maddox there has his arms up, kind of looking. 0:18:00.950 --> 0:18:03.650 Keon Coleman did a nice job filling the void left 0:18:03.730 --> 0:18:05.970 by Moore, finishing with 63 yards. 0:18:06.190 --> 0:18:11.400 Caught Keon Coleman. To the 13-yard line. That is 14 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:13.220 first downs. 0:18:13.500 --> 0:18:15.609 And L.A. has to be able to defend the tight 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:20.690 end position. Dawson Knox scored, as did Dalton Kincaid. Seven catches, 0:18:20.690 --> 0:18:24.550 95 yards. 95-plus yards in both games so far. 0:18:24.609 --> 0:18:27.990 Team leader for Allen, who has one already tonight. Pass 0:18:28.050 --> 0:18:31.210 is caught at the 50-yard line. And to the 41, 0:18:31.210 --> 0:18:32.480 Dalton Kincaid. 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.020 Allen took two sacks in their most recent win. Right 0:18:35.060 --> 0:18:37.360 tackle Spencer Brown getting beat on one. 0:18:37.700 --> 0:18:37.940 But. 0:18:38.380 --> 0:18:42.000 Allen was blitzed 55% of the time and only faced 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:45.810 a pressure rate of 34%, only lost five yards on 0:18:45.830 --> 0:18:49.090 the two sacks, 31 pass attempts. They can live with 0:18:49.170 --> 0:18:50.590 all that again if need be. 0:18:51.450 --> 0:18:54.770 Allen scrambles. He can run, of course. One of the 0:18:54.830 --> 0:18:59.170 best maybe ever on the ground with his legs. First down. 0:18:59.570 --> 0:18:59.710 L.A. 0:18:59.710 --> 0:19:02.879 's pass rush only got to Cousins twice on 29 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:05.600 pass attempts. Khalil Mack with a sack. And they did 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.260 pressure Cousins over 40% of the time, at least. 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:11.070 Cousins in trouble, and Cousins is sacked. 0:19:12.050 --> 0:19:14.910 It was Khalil Mack getting back there. 0:19:14.630 --> 0:19:16.910 For the sack. The former Raider. 0:19:17.290 --> 0:19:20.000 As for dealing with Cook, Chargers at least come off 0:19:20.020 --> 0:19:23.320 a good game against the run. held Ashton Gentry to 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:24.940 48 yards on 2-3 a carry. 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:28.740 Try on the left side, Gentry tripped up. Dante Jackson 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:29.250 came up. 0:19:29.619 --> 0:19:32.800 Bill's defense does hit week three a little wobbly. They 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:36.100 played well early last week, ended the game stopping Detroit 0:19:36.180 --> 0:19:38.940 on seven of their 11 third down tries, and some 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.670 of those early stops allowed Allen and company to build 0:19:41.730 --> 0:19:44.389 a big cushion. Bradley Chubb comes in off a one 0:19:44.410 --> 0:19:47.490 and a half bag night. Gregory Rousseau, with two of 0:19:47.530 --> 0:19:50.639 their four sacks, he has two in each game thus far. 0:19:50.660 --> 0:19:56.070 Down he goes at the 30. Greg Russo, two strip sacks. 0:19:56.850 --> 0:19:59.930 Still, Buffalo allowed Detroit to convert three of four red 0:19:59.970 --> 0:20:03.619 zone chances and has given up 31 points back-to-back weeks. 0:20:03.990 --> 0:20:06.980 Your warrior is still fighting and competing, and that's why 0:20:07.020 --> 0:20:08.899 he turned around at 22 to let him know. 0:20:09.020 --> 0:20:12.199 Secondary still looking for a way to slow down the quarterback. 0:20:12.340 --> 0:20:14.780 Herbert looking at a group that gave up over 300 0:20:14.780 --> 0:20:17.320 yards and four TDs to Jared Goff, a 130-plus rate. 0:20:18.619 --> 0:20:22.000 a week after giving up over 270 yards and two 0:20:22.060 --> 0:20:23.040 TDs to C.J. 0:20:23.100 --> 0:20:23.600 Stroud. 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:26.970 It's been a shaky start for their DB room. Corner D. 0:20:27.109 --> 0:20:30.170 Alford gave up 85 yards and a touchdown to the Lions. 0:20:30.490 --> 0:20:33.719 Team allowed Amonra St. Brown to score twice, along with 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:34.500 over 140 yards. 0:20:34.740 --> 0:20:37.800 They're just kind of like setting up the defensive back. 0:20:38.770 --> 0:20:41.730 And by the time he lands, he works inside of Benford. 0:20:41.790 --> 0:20:42.540 Look at that ball. 0:20:42.780 --> 0:20:45.800 Again, their play never really put them in danger last week, 0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:47.620 but they would still like to clean up their play 0:20:47.660 --> 0:20:50.960 versus the pass this week. Hampton does get a defense 0:20:50.980 --> 0:20:53.600 that's been tough to run on so far. Held Jameer 0:20:53.660 --> 0:20:57.590 Gibbs to 3-3 a carry, just 52 yards. Played the 0:20:57.650 --> 0:20:59.230 run well the week before, too. 0:20:59.810 --> 0:21:03.010 What a workload he had the other day. And he's 0:21:03.050 --> 0:21:05.050 wrestled back at the line of scrimmage. 0:21:05.090 --> 0:21:08.989 They might unless Justin Herbert wakes up. His 2026 has 0:21:09.090 --> 0:21:11.990 not gotten off to a great start. Fewer than 200 0:21:11.990 --> 0:21:16.390 yards versus Vegas. TD against two INTs. A sub-60 rate. 0:21:16.730 --> 0:21:19.580 Picks in both games. Sub-90 rates in both. 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:24.380 Left throws and it is juggled and intercepted. 0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:27.600 Picked off by Hezekiah Messes. 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:33.060 Offense Buffalo is facing hasn't scored 15 points yet, 14 0:21:33.060 --> 0:21:36.220 both weeks. Mike McDaniel starting to take some heat from 0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:39.970 bolt-up fans, 5 for 14 on third down last week. 0:21:40.130 --> 0:21:42.830 Coming, Herbert, pump fakes in trouble, now gets rid of it, 0:21:42.930 --> 0:21:44.230 and it's incomplete. 0:21:45.690 --> 0:21:48.770 Herbert's line also needs to play better. He took three 0:21:48.850 --> 0:21:53.210 sacks week two, faced pressure 54% of the time, and 0:21:53.230 --> 0:21:56.690 the Raiders weren't blitz-happy yesterday. Every guy but their center 0:21:56.970 --> 0:21:59.360 gave up a pressure rate of 12% or higher. 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:00.919 Feel how important this fourth quarter is. 0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:02.380 Herbert. 0:22:04.460 --> 0:22:05.580 Lost the football! 0:22:06.460 --> 0:22:10.609 Trey Tucker caught one pass for 53 yards. Ladd McConkie 0:22:10.660 --> 0:22:17.530 finished with 35. Aranda Gadsden, 18. Quentin Johnston, 7. Omerian Hampton, 0:22:17.550 --> 0:22:20.510 the only Chargers O guy with a little something positive 0:22:20.530 --> 0:22:23.139 to build off of. He lost a fumble, but he 0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:25.860 did go for 94 rush yards on 4-1 to carry. 0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:29.080 Hampton is going to pad his stats. 0:22:30.540 --> 0:22:33.780 Who wants to get to 2-1? Jacksonville Jaguars at home 0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:36.770 this week having to bounce back from their first loss 0:22:37.010 --> 0:22:39.850 that saw their offense come to a slowdown worse than 0:22:39.910 --> 0:22:42.389 Peter Gibbons' computer on a Friday afternoon. 0:22:43.450 --> 0:22:47.470 Fires short of the goal line, and it's incomplete. 0:22:47.690 --> 0:22:50.960 Hey, Peter, what's happening? Well, the New England Patriots are 0:22:51.000 --> 0:22:54.199 what's happening. They're in town. Their O has been glitching 0:22:54.260 --> 0:22:56.990 a lot too so far, but man, that defense is 0:22:57.050 --> 0:22:58.250 taking care of business. 0:22:59.310 --> 0:23:01.470 And here he is, trying to fight for time. Balls 0:23:01.550 --> 0:23:05.280 on the ground, and it's scooped up! Scooped up and 0:23:05.300 --> 0:23:06.520 run into the end zone! 0:23:06.690 --> 0:23:10.100 Both these Ds are playing well in 2026, really, but 0:23:10.220 --> 0:23:13.320 New England's won them their Week 2 contest, so that's 0:23:13.340 --> 0:23:16.419 where we start. They held Seattle to 13 points in 0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:19.660 their opener, upped the ante by keeping Pittsburgh to just 0:23:19.660 --> 0:23:24.199 3 points a week ago. Minuscule 3.5 yards per play 0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:27.540 stopped them 10 times on 12 third-down tries. 0:23:28.260 --> 0:23:28.560 Blitz. 0:23:29.290 --> 0:23:32.290 Their secondary held Aaron Rodgers to 187 yards on 4.8 0:23:32.290 --> 0:23:33.770 yards per attempt, picked him off, zero TDs obviously. 0:23:33.790 --> 0:23:34.630 Can they play Trevor Lawrence as tough? 0:23:34.650 --> 0:23:36.100 Just depends on which key law they get. The week 0:23:36.130 --> 0:23:59.230 one version was unstoppable. Week two, different story, as he 0:23:59.270 --> 0:24:03.640 only threw for 189 yards, no TDs, one INT for 0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:04.859 a low 60s rate. 0:24:04.960 --> 0:24:09.800 Slings it, intercepted, Riley Moss steps in front of Washington. 0:24:10.260 --> 0:24:13.800 So, same deal with their offense, 34 points week one, 0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:17.580 13 versus Denver, fewer than five yards per play. 0:24:17.700 --> 0:24:18.560 Snap, third and eight. 0:24:19.830 --> 0:24:22.270 Lawrence fires downfield, incomplete. 0:24:22.790 --> 0:24:25.390 They're hoping it was a Denver defense on the road 0:24:25.450 --> 0:24:28.010 kind of thing, and their line can give Trev more 0:24:28.050 --> 0:24:31.890 time this week, pressured on 45% of his throws while 0:24:31.970 --> 0:24:35.340 facing a low blitz rate. Left tackle Anton Harrison gave 0:24:35.390 --> 0:24:39.580 up a sack and a 19% pressure rate, according to NextGenStats. 0:24:39.780 --> 0:24:42.419 Against Q Robinson. Oh, the running back tripped him. 0:24:43.810 --> 0:24:46.369 Now they do battle with a pats front that blew 0:24:46.470 --> 0:24:49.720 up Rodgers four times and man did they blow him 0:24:49.859 --> 0:24:53.010 up on that one sack. Christian Ellis has no mercy 0:24:53.030 --> 0:24:54.290 for the elderly, I guess. 0:24:54.970 --> 0:24:59.020 My goodness, what a hit to the back of Aaron Rodgers. 0:24:59.080 --> 0:25:01.560 New England's secondary comes off a game that saw them 0:25:01.619 --> 0:25:05.100 fold every Pittsburgh pass catcher to fewer than 40 yards. 0:25:05.460 --> 0:25:09.479 Only two Jags had more than 40 Week 2. Jacoby Myers, 28. 0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:14.300 Tight end Brenton Strange, 14. Parker Washington has started 2026 0:25:14.300 --> 0:25:19.890 off well. 98 yards versus Denver after starting off with 83. 0:25:19.890 --> 0:25:24.450 In the pocket, laser beam downfield, caught by Washington, extending 0:25:24.510 --> 0:25:25.130 to the one. 0:25:25.350 --> 0:25:27.730 And Brian Thomas checked out with 40. 0:25:27.730 --> 0:25:31.200 Beats the right guard, just slides away, and still delivers 0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:31.800 the football. 0:25:31.940 --> 0:25:35.240 But Thomas has got to get some sticky to his hands, man. 0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:38.380 Bashaw Tootin has a little mojo to his walk ahead 0:25:38.400 --> 0:25:41.500 of this game, 65 yards and a TD versus Denver, 0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:42.560 hit at five a pop. 0:25:42.700 --> 0:25:44.590 Eighth play of the drive, snap it. 0:25:45.200 --> 0:25:48.170 Tutin turns the corner for the touchdown. 0:25:48.410 --> 0:25:51.990 Facing a Patriots defense that held both Jalen Warren and 0:25:52.090 --> 0:25:55.530 Rico Dowdle under four yards per carry, so tough sledding 0:25:55.590 --> 0:25:57.010 there based on last week. 0:25:57.690 --> 0:26:02.190 That's Dowdle for about three. Yeah, it hampered him. 0:26:03.650 --> 0:26:06.129 Now, if they could get that offense of theirs going, 0:26:06.130 --> 0:26:09.919 10 points week one, only 20 week two, so I 0:26:09.980 --> 0:26:12.720 guess they're headed in the right direction. Drake May did 0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:16.969 average nine yards per attempt, completed three passes of 29-plus 0:26:17.020 --> 0:26:17.950 yards last week. 0:26:18.320 --> 0:26:18.960 All right, in the. 0:26:18.900 --> 0:26:22.300 Meantime, Raritan, who was the touchdown maker for the Patriots 0:26:22.340 --> 0:26:22.960 last week. 0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:27.060 But May without a TD, another pick that was very undue. 0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:31.660 Only 208 yards for a sub-80 rate, so back-to-back dud-like 0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:32.580 games to start. 0:26:33.000 --> 0:26:33.540 Oh, no. 0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:38.179 Picked off right into the arms of Patrick Queen. He 0:26:38.380 --> 0:26:39.879 underthrew his receiver. 0:26:39.980 --> 0:26:42.620 He draws a Jags defense that hits Week 3 off 0:26:42.660 --> 0:26:45.869 a mixed showing. On one hand, they held Denver to 0:26:45.869 --> 0:26:48.850 20 points after holding Cleveland to 10 Week 1. They 0:26:48.890 --> 0:26:51.410 held Bo Nix to 1 TD while picking him off, 0:26:51.750 --> 0:26:54.240 held Denver to 4 for 11 on 3rd down, 2 0:26:54.240 --> 0:26:55.379 for 5 in the red zone. 0:26:55.600 --> 0:26:59.300 Dials it up, and it's intercepted! 0:27:00.350 --> 0:27:02.850 Jordan Lewis in the back of the end zone! 0:27:02.890 --> 0:27:05.350 They need to be able to close games out, though, 0:27:05.410 --> 0:27:08.790 which they did not do versus Nixon Company. Secondary gave 0:27:08.850 --> 0:27:12.300 up 288 yards to Bowe, over 9 yards per attempt, 0:27:12.490 --> 0:27:15.670 after letting Deshaun Watson hit it 9 per clip, gave 0:27:15.730 --> 0:27:19.220 up a number of 20-plus yard passes. A 49-yarder to 0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:23.840 Jalen Waddell let him go for 138 total. Corner Monteric 0:27:23.880 --> 0:27:26.940 Brown allowed a team height 80 yards, according to NGS. 0:27:27.690 --> 0:27:31.210 corner Jordan Lewis with 58 yards allowed and a touchdown. 0:27:31.710 --> 0:27:35.320 Wide open, touchdown caught by Adkins. 0:27:36.810 --> 0:27:40.300 Only two Pats enter off 40-plus yard games. Mack Hollins 0:27:40.380 --> 0:27:44.859 only 18, DeMario Douglas 9, Hunter Henry with 40. 0:27:44.859 --> 0:27:47.240 New England as May goes down the field. He's got 0:27:47.260 --> 0:27:48.420 a wide open target. 0:27:48.790 --> 0:27:49.510 It's Henry! 0:27:49.770 --> 0:27:53.469 And Romeo Dobbs rebounded from a bad week one, 96 0:27:53.470 --> 0:27:54.470 yards last week. 0:27:54.590 --> 0:28:00.080 Wide open! It is Dobbs! And Dobbs makes the big play! 0:28:00.800 --> 0:28:04.379 Drake dropped three times on 22 pass attempts. Right tackle 0:28:04.440 --> 0:28:06.820 Morgan Moses gave up one and a half to T.J. 0:28:06.880 --> 0:28:10.980 Watt and couldn't slow him down, allowing an 18% pressure rate. 0:28:11.810 --> 0:28:17.350 For May, May is sacked, wrapped up, and T.J. Watt. 0:28:17.990 --> 0:28:22.600 Josh Hines-Allen, Trayvon Walker held at bay last week. Jacksonville 0:28:22.630 --> 0:28:26.080 didn't sack Knicks on 31 pass attempts. They blitzed 45% 0:28:26.080 --> 0:28:29.860 of the time and only produced a 19% pressure rate. 0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:30.540 That's rough. 0:28:30.920 --> 0:28:33.359 They at least held Denver's rush attack under four a 0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:35.880 carry while facing 28 attempts. 0:28:36.290 --> 0:28:37.180 Stayed upright. 0:28:38.090 --> 0:28:39.850 Third effort is not enough. 0:28:40.310 --> 0:28:43.830 Now they squabble up with Ramondre Stevenson and Travion Henderson. 0:28:44.110 --> 0:28:47.830 Henderson broke loose for a TD, 76 yards, 4-8 a carry, 0:28:48.070 --> 0:28:49.230 and his first go of it in 2026. 0:28:49.210 --> 0:28:49.610 And he is gone! 0:28:55.200 --> 0:28:58.720 Stevenson, with 43 yards on 7-2 a run, did lose 0:28:58.790 --> 0:29:03.370 a fumble. As a wise woman once said, it's so 0:29:03.490 --> 0:29:06.690 cold in the D, and it's not even October yet. 0:29:06.710 --> 0:29:10.510 Detroit at home this week. Is this a must-win game 0:29:10.570 --> 0:29:13.690 for them? It's a must-play some semblance of defense at 0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:14.600 the very least. 0:29:15.020 --> 0:29:20.160 Humpfake going deep wide open. Touchdown, Joshua Palmer. 0:29:21.680 --> 0:29:24.240 They welcome in the Jets this week, having to try 0:29:24.280 --> 0:29:27.550 and rebound from a loss that no team in history 0:29:27.830 --> 0:29:30.290 has ever had to try and rebound from. 0:29:30.310 --> 0:29:32.350 Packers in overtime. 0:29:33.050 --> 0:29:34.170 The rookies smack. 0:29:34.510 --> 0:29:37.530 You hold your opponent under 200 yards of offense, they 0:29:37.590 --> 0:29:40.840 give you 100 plus yards in penalties. and you win 0:29:40.880 --> 0:29:43.560 the turnover battle. That is supposed to be the lock 0:29:43.620 --> 0:29:46.660 of locks in the NFL because every team that had 0:29:46.720 --> 0:29:51.380 done that since 1941 had won until last week. Thanks 0:29:51.420 --> 0:29:54.380 to the Jets, the record of teams in that situation 0:29:54.740 --> 0:30:04.980 now 1-44. Lions facing their old DC this week. Some 0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:07.780 gangrene faithful are like, can you take him back? He 0:30:07.820 --> 0:30:11.320 made some questionable calls that contributed to their late collapse 0:30:11.360 --> 0:30:14.800 versus Green Bay. Jets also have to be more disciplined 0:30:14.860 --> 0:30:20.719 after getting flagged 13 times. for 156 yards still the 0:30:20.760 --> 0:30:24.220 Lions offense facing a Jets defense that has started the 0:30:24.260 --> 0:30:27.420 year well held Tennessee to 10 points and then Green 0:30:27.460 --> 0:30:30.700 Bay to 20 with OT needed for that last three 0:30:31.000 --> 0:30:34.070 they held Jordan Love to five yards per attempt held 0:30:34.110 --> 0:30:37.590 the Packers offense to four yards per play one for 0:30:37.650 --> 0:30:40.590 nine on third down that's supposed to be enough to 0:30:40.650 --> 0:30:41.570 win you a game in. 0:30:41.810 --> 0:30:48.240 Yard line lost the football Given Jonathan Vilma and other chances. 0:30:47.900 --> 0:30:48.900 To yell fumble. 0:30:48.920 --> 0:30:51.640 Jared Goff hoping for a quicker start this week. He 0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:55.350 piled up serious numbers in their loss to Buffalo. Over 0:30:55.350 --> 0:30:58.410 300 yards passing, four TDs, no picks for a 130 0:30:58.410 --> 0:31:03.030 plus rate. has six TDs and zero interceptions in his 0:31:03.090 --> 0:31:04.050 first two games. 0:31:04.210 --> 0:31:08.930 Fires into the end zone. Hold in. There he is again. Gibbs. 0:31:09.350 --> 0:31:12.430 Detroit has put up 31 points in both their games. 0:31:12.670 --> 0:31:16.430 They're seven for nine in the red zone in 2026. Scoring, 0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:18.560 in and of itself, not the problem. 0:31:18.670 --> 0:31:21.680 Down, Goff stepping up. He's already thrown for 300 yards. 0:31:22.100 --> 0:31:23.100 And add a few more. 0:31:23.660 --> 0:31:25.180 St. Brown into the end zone. 0:31:25.240 --> 0:31:28.620 Their offensive production last week largely came when they were 0:31:28.680 --> 0:31:31.520 chasing points, though. To avoid that again, they need to 0:31:31.580 --> 0:31:35.260 convert more third downs, especially early in the game. They 0:31:35.280 --> 0:31:39.280 went four for 11 overall. O-line play partially to blame. 0:31:39.380 --> 0:31:43.100 Goff took four sacks. They were missing Christian Mahogany and 0:31:43.180 --> 0:31:46.850 Blake Miller. Right tackle Larry Borum gave up seven pressures, 0:31:46.900 --> 0:31:50.410 a hefty 15% pressure rate, and one and a half sacks. 0:31:50.750 --> 0:31:54.510 Left tackle Panay Sewell, right guard Tate Ratledge were tagged 0:31:54.530 --> 0:31:57.390 with one and a half each as well by NextGenStats. 0:31:57.510 --> 0:32:01.280 Rousseau ends up getting home. The entire pocket just collapsed 0:32:01.730 --> 0:32:02.580 on Jared Goff. 0:32:02.720 --> 0:32:04.620 You're like, that's four and a half. Yeah, it's one 0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:08.160 of those different combinations of guys gave up halves across 0:32:08.220 --> 0:32:10.640 the four they took. The Jets front, Goff and his 0:32:10.700 --> 0:32:13.140 boys take on in this one, come off a three-bag 0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:16.500 shopping trip. How about David Bailey looking to start his 0:32:16.600 --> 0:32:19.920 NFL career with a sack and three straight? He's picked 0:32:19.980 --> 0:32:21.220 up one in his first two. 0:32:21.240 --> 0:32:24.640 Yard line, pump fake, and then low pass. 0:32:26.840 --> 0:32:29.870 O-line also made it hard for Jameer Gibbs to get 0:32:29.910 --> 0:32:32.310 it going. He's looking to bounce back as a runner 0:32:32.350 --> 0:32:35.350 this week after being held to 52 yards on 3-3 0:32:35.370 --> 0:32:43.600 a carry. New York would be happy if they played 0:32:43.660 --> 0:32:46.240 him that tough. They didn't have any issues with Green 0:32:46.280 --> 0:32:48.440 Bay's rush attack, holding it to 3.5 yards per carry, 0:32:48.460 --> 0:32:59.420 just 63 yards. Jets DBs gave up 58 yards to 0:32:59.460 --> 0:33:03.200 Matthew Golden, 41 yards and a TD to Christian Watson. 0:33:03.580 --> 0:33:07.959 Corner Brandon Stevens allowed a team-high 52 yards, according to NextGenStats. 0:33:08.220 --> 0:33:12.080 How will he fare when guarding Detroit's WR1, or wide 0:33:12.160 --> 0:33:14.550 receiver one if you're not into the whole brevity thing? 0:33:14.790 --> 0:33:18.150 Amon Ross St. Brown hits week three off back-to-back two 0:33:18.210 --> 0:33:21.950 TD games. He blew up for 142 yards and nine 0:33:22.030 --> 0:33:23.310 catches last week, too. 0:33:23.610 --> 0:33:26.570 Under pressure throws, that's his second catch. Of course, the 0:33:26.590 --> 0:33:28.870 minute you bring it up, he grabs another one, and 0:33:28.890 --> 0:33:29.970 that's the first down at the 40. 0:33:29.970 --> 0:33:33.930 Jamison Williams, 33 yards on four targets, fewer than 50 0:33:33.930 --> 0:33:38.340 yards in his first two games. Isaac Tesla, 30 yards 0:33:38.420 --> 0:33:41.520 after being shut out week one. Tight end Sam Laporta, 0:33:41.600 --> 0:33:44.600 still key to Goff's game, six catches versus the Bills, 0:33:44.700 --> 0:33:47.520 had five week one, found the zone a week ago. 0:33:48.800 --> 0:33:53.900 Play fake, little toss, wide open, touchdown. Sam Laporta. 0:33:54.020 --> 0:33:58.000 Gibbs, the pass catcher, scored 61 yards, has caught five 0:33:58.040 --> 0:34:00.270 to six passes in each of their first two games. 0:34:00.450 --> 0:34:03.370 And he throws in rhythm. And that time, really that 0:34:03.430 --> 0:34:04.690 entire drive, you could see. 0:34:04.710 --> 0:34:07.550 Lots of members of One Pride not happy with D.C. 0:34:07.610 --> 0:34:10.529 Kelvin Shepard right now. Lions looked like they wanted to 0:34:10.570 --> 0:34:14.390 make sure Buffalo's housewarming party went as smoothly as possible. 0:34:14.760 --> 0:34:17.780 They hit this game as dazed and confused. As Slater 0:34:17.840 --> 0:34:22.020 on a Friday night, 41 points allowed, let Buffalo convert 0:34:22.020 --> 0:34:25.900 9 of 12 third-down tries, didn't stop them once inside 0:34:25.920 --> 0:34:26.060 the 20. 0:34:26.060 --> 0:34:29.040 Their secondary followed up a game that saw them give 0:34:29.060 --> 0:34:30.360 up over 400 yards to Tyler Shuck by allowing 248 0:34:30.360 --> 0:34:32.339 yards and three TDs with no interceptions to Josh Allen, 0:34:32.380 --> 0:34:32.620 a 120-plus. 0:34:32.540 --> 0:34:48.250 Rate, Safety Thomas Harper gave up a touchdown in 48 0:34:48.250 --> 0:34:51.689 yards week two. But when Geno looks for Waldo, he'll 0:34:51.750 --> 0:34:54.969 find corner DJ Reed is wearing the funny hat and glasses. 0:34:55.290 --> 0:34:59.460 Gave up a perfect 158.3 rating to Buffalo, allowing a 0:34:59.500 --> 0:35:02.980 team high 63 yards and a TD. A week after, 0:35:03.180 --> 0:35:06.160 allowing 134 yards to the Saints. 0:35:06.540 --> 0:35:10.950 Going deep wide open. Touchdown, Joshua Palmer. 0:35:12.550 --> 0:35:15.210 Now, here comes Geno. Smith would like to show he 0:35:15.250 --> 0:35:17.149 can come up in the clutch, but he still hits 0:35:17.210 --> 0:35:19.210 week three off a solid performance, 247 yards, a TD 0:35:19.230 --> 0:35:20.650 with no picks, 27 of 41 for a 90-rate game. 0:35:20.670 --> 0:35:21.490 Smith throws, end zone, touchdown! 0:35:31.450 --> 0:35:32.509 Garrett Wilson. 0:35:32.870 --> 0:35:37.870 Geno's top week two target, Adonai Mitchell. Six catches, 63 yards, 0:35:37.870 --> 0:35:40.130 60 plus yards in each game so far. 0:35:40.270 --> 0:35:42.880 I think Keyshawn Mason is a really good corner, but 0:35:42.910 --> 0:35:44.280 they are going after him. 0:35:44.320 --> 0:35:47.620 Garrett Wilson scored with 57 yards. He's picked up at 0:35:47.640 --> 0:35:49.739 least 55 yards in each contest. 0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:55.380 Third and 11. Smith throws and sliding and making the catch. 0:35:55.930 --> 0:36:00.070 Tight end Kenyon Sadiq with 38 yards. Brees Hall, 63 0:36:00.070 --> 0:36:00.890 receiving yards. 0:36:00.910 --> 0:36:04.960 But KDOT will tell you, 17 points, it's not enough, 0:36:05.020 --> 0:36:07.520 and neither is four yards per play. 0:36:07.660 --> 0:36:10.800 If they don't want fans turning the TV. 0:36:10.660 --> 0:36:21.509 Off, They should find a way to get their foot 0:36:21.570 --> 0:36:24.259 on the gas and be more productive all game long, 0:36:24.590 --> 0:36:27.420 not just for a drive or two. Somebody's got to 0:36:27.460 --> 0:36:27.790 do it. 0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:30.819 Direct run downhill, and look at that. 0:36:30.840 --> 0:36:34.100 There is no penetration, no push, excuse me, from the 0:36:34.160 --> 0:36:35.000 offensive line. 0:36:35.080 --> 0:36:38.510 Better pass protection would help, too. Smith took four sacks 0:36:38.570 --> 0:36:42.190 week two. Only two blamed on linemen, but he faced 0:36:42.250 --> 0:36:45.649 a 49% pressure rate, and all five of their big 0:36:45.710 --> 0:36:49.080 uglies gave up pressure rates of 10% or more. Both 0:36:49.180 --> 0:36:59.069 tackles allowed eight pressures each. Every time they cut away 0:36:59.110 --> 0:37:01.770 to Aiden Hutchinson, you couldn't help but feel bad for 0:37:01.810 --> 0:37:04.930 the guy. He's doing what he can, dropped Allen once, 0:37:05.090 --> 0:37:06.660 Detroit only two sacks. 0:37:06.760 --> 0:37:08.200 The Lions blitzed 55% of the time. They only generated 0:37:08.280 --> 0:37:09.500 pressure 34% of the time. 0:37:18.880 --> 0:37:21.450 And most of the time when they did, Allen simply 0:37:21.510 --> 0:37:24.670 escaped with his legs. They gave up 69 rush yards 0:37:24.730 --> 0:37:27.589 to him along with two TDs and also gave up 0:37:27.590 --> 0:37:32.009 135 yards on 6-4 per run to James Cook, who 0:37:32.170 --> 0:37:35.190 also scored on them. So there isn't one facet of 0:37:35.230 --> 0:37:38.410 their defense that's not needing a tune-up ahead of Week 3. 0:37:38.410 --> 0:37:42.190 And around the corner, and there goes Cook. And Cook 0:37:42.410 --> 0:37:44.489 will be taken out of bounds. 0:37:44.690 --> 0:37:47.750 Lions also need to cut down on the penalties got 0:37:47.830 --> 0:37:50.410 flagged 10 times in their week two loss. But let's 0:37:50.450 --> 0:37:53.190 be honest, some of them were the phantom variety that 0:37:53.290 --> 0:37:55.209 one holding call really hurt, too. 0:37:56.230 --> 0:37:59.390 You know, the crowd noise, respecting the potential pass rush 0:37:59.410 --> 0:38:01.490 and the quickness off the edge by Hoyt. 0:38:01.630 --> 0:38:04.359 Hall, as a runner, not as effective as he was 0:38:04.410 --> 0:38:07.660 as a pass catcher, held the 29 yards on 1.8 0:38:07.660 --> 0:38:10.920 to carry. Jets rush attack in need of a spark, too. 0:38:12.700 --> 0:38:15.529 Tennessee Titans hit the road week three, hoping maybe they 0:38:15.550 --> 0:38:18.690 can come up with their first win of 2026 after 0:38:18.770 --> 0:38:22.230 coming up oh so close to a huge upset last week. 0:38:22.370 --> 0:38:25.569 Blitz is coming for Philadelphia, and Ward just slings it 0:38:25.590 --> 0:38:27.069 to nobody in particular. 0:38:27.330 --> 0:38:29.910 It was deflected, and the game is over. 0:38:30.530 --> 0:38:33.160 They are in New York facing the Giants, who left 0:38:33.219 --> 0:38:35.900 Hollywood with that oh-not-again feeling. 0:38:35.920 --> 0:38:37.379 Another look at the hit. 0:38:38.219 --> 0:38:42.790 And it looks like that is that, at least for 0:38:42.830 --> 0:38:45.730 a while. What a major bummer. So it's the famous 0:38:45.790 --> 0:38:48.750 Jameis show going forward. Maybe a full week of practice 0:38:48.770 --> 0:38:51.870 will help. Winston wasn't able to spark anything up last 0:38:51.930 --> 0:38:56.190 week off the bench. 111 yards passing, only 4.1 yards 0:38:56.250 --> 0:38:59.469 per attempt through a goal line interception, sub 40 rate. 0:39:00.230 --> 0:39:03.790 G-Men's offense only put up two field goals, three for 0:39:03.790 --> 0:39:07.410 14 on third down, a brutal 3.3 yards per play. 0:39:08.390 --> 0:39:16.600 Titans defense that comes to town isn't showing up rattled 0:39:16.700 --> 0:39:20.480 despite coming up short versus Philadelphia. The last drive hurt 0:39:20.580 --> 0:39:22.819 led to the 24 points allowed, but they set the 0:39:22.930 --> 0:39:27.870 offense up for one TD. Imani Hooker's INT returns 92 yards. 0:39:28.150 --> 0:39:31.799 They held Philadelphia at a yards per play, picked off 0:39:31.840 --> 0:39:32.980 Jalen Hurt's twice. 0:39:33.100 --> 0:39:37.770 Without blitzing much, Tennessee. 0:39:36.930 --> 0:39:39.850 Sacked Hurt's three times and pressured him. 0:39:44.940 --> 0:39:49.340 A nice 40% of his throws, Jacob Martin, John Franklin Myers, 0:39:49.500 --> 0:39:52.279 Jeffrey Simmons, all signed on the dotted line. 0:39:52.390 --> 0:39:54.690 Get yourself into a decent third down situation. 0:39:55.110 --> 0:39:57.950 Well, that's the time to ratchet up the pass rush, 0:39:58.050 --> 0:39:59.470 and Jacob Martin. 0:39:59.489 --> 0:40:02.049 They go after a Giants O-line that gave up two 0:40:02.150 --> 0:40:07.210 sacks and a fat 58% pressure rate. NextGenStats tagged Jermaine 0:40:07.250 --> 0:40:10.850 Illuminor with both sacks allowed and a hefty 17% pressure 0:40:10.890 --> 0:40:14.450 rate allowed. Blue fans, that's what NGS had. Don't kill 0:40:14.489 --> 0:40:15.050 the messenger. 0:40:15.070 --> 0:40:19.899 Winston steps through, but caught from behind and brought down. 0:40:20.180 --> 0:40:23.240 I found out this past offseason, Giants faithful are very 0:40:23.300 --> 0:40:26.660 protective of J.E. Real ones know what I mean. Only 0:40:26.780 --> 0:40:30.000 one New York pass catcher comes off a 35-plus yard game. 0:40:30.100 --> 0:40:35.160 Tight end Isaiah Likely, 33. Malachi Fields, 30. Malik Nabors 0:40:35.239 --> 0:40:37.399 just won. He got hurt in the middle of the game. 0:40:37.780 --> 0:40:39.980 Darnell Mooney led the team with 48. 0:40:39.980 --> 0:40:44.140 Winston protected. Floats it. He's got his guy. That's Mooney. 0:40:44.820 --> 0:40:47.430 Darnell Mooney is out of bounds near the 30. 0:40:47.430 --> 0:40:51.130 Tennessee's secondary they battle with gave up 74 yards to 0:40:51.170 --> 0:40:55.650 Dontavian Wicks, 117 in a TD to Devontae Smith. Four 0:40:55.730 --> 0:40:58.770 different defenders gave up 40 to 50 yards each. But 0:40:58.810 --> 0:41:01.819 the Titans didn't allow any Philadelphia runners to leave with 0:41:01.820 --> 0:41:05.240 35 yards. Held Saquon to nine yards on four attempts. 0:41:05.320 --> 0:41:07.340 He did get hurt. but they stuffed him when he 0:41:07.380 --> 0:41:07.939 was out there. 0:41:07.960 --> 0:41:09.840 It is Saquon Barkley. 0:41:09.880 --> 0:41:12.020 This was a problem last week, getting hit behind the 0:41:12.080 --> 0:41:13.640 line of scrimmage by Washington. 0:41:13.840 --> 0:41:16.890 This week, it's Cam Scadaboo, hoping for a better week three, 0:41:17.170 --> 0:41:19.930 just 36 yards on three of carry versus the Rams. 0:41:20.390 --> 0:41:23.570 Toss to Cam, kind of a tight formation and a 0:41:23.670 --> 0:41:26.570 short toss, and Scadaboo got maybe half a yard. 0:41:26.630 --> 0:41:31.500 Titans offense still looking to crack 21 points. Week one, 10, 20. 0:41:31.500 --> 0:41:34.279 Week two, so trending in the right direction, I guess. 0:41:34.700 --> 0:41:37.240 Cam Ward punched in two short runs versus Philly. 0:41:37.260 --> 0:41:40.120 He threw for 9.2 yards per attempt, a rate over 0:41:40.120 --> 0:41:42.070 90 but no TDs, but several big chunk plays. 0:41:42.090 --> 0:41:43.580 Certainly looked better compared to Week 1. 0:41:43.570 --> 0:41:45.630 Giants D, Ward takes on, gave up 28 points to L.A., 0:41:45.710 --> 0:42:04.600 tough with their offense working against them. but didn't stop 0:42:04.780 --> 0:42:06.980 any of the Rams' three red zone trips, gave up 0:42:07.160 --> 0:42:10.580 eight yards per play, gave up four touchdowns to Matthew 0:42:10.620 --> 0:42:14.880 Stafford on a hefty 10.5 yards per attempt, allowed a 0:42:14.900 --> 0:42:23.810 130-plus rate to him. Ward took two sacks, 20 pass attempts. 0:42:24.110 --> 0:42:27.250 Left tackle J.C. Latham gave up one, according to NGS. 0:42:27.590 --> 0:42:31.890 Fernando Carmona gave up one along with a 16% pressure rate. 0:42:31.950 --> 0:42:33.370 That's high for a guard. 0:42:33.450 --> 0:42:36.410 But so costly, especially since you just had all that momentum. 0:42:36.850 --> 0:42:39.509 You're inside the 10-yard line. You're now sitting there going. 0:42:39.570 --> 0:42:42.250 New York's pass rush only got to Stafford once on 0:42:42.250 --> 0:42:45.890 31 pass attempts and barely pressured him. Made it tough 0:42:45.950 --> 0:42:48.750 on their secondary as they gave up two TDs and 0:42:48.750 --> 0:42:53.549 195 yards to Devontae Adams. Safety Tyler Newbin tagged with 0:42:53.610 --> 0:42:57.890 a whopping 143 yards. gave up seven catches on 10 0:42:57.890 --> 0:43:01.410 targets faced. Alec Ayomaner, the only Titan with more than 0:43:01.410 --> 0:43:04.250 40 yards, hauled in a 41-yarder as part of a 0:43:04.270 --> 0:43:05.410 69-yard game. 0:43:05.430 --> 0:43:09.740 Who hurdles a defender over the top! 0:43:09.980 --> 0:43:13.320 And as for the ground game, Tajay Spears went for 0:43:13.320 --> 0:43:16.700 41 yards on 5'9, a carry week two. Tony Pollard, 0:43:16.700 --> 0:43:18.820 64 yards, 4'6, a run. 0:43:18.840 --> 0:43:22.690 Multiple blockers and a big run near midfield. They move 0:43:22.730 --> 0:43:24.190 it into Philadelphia territory. 0:43:24.370 --> 0:43:27.190 They get a wobbly Giants rush defense too. They gave 0:43:27.410 --> 0:43:31.050 up 163 rush yards. 85 allowed to Kyron Williams. 0:43:31.070 --> 0:43:32.150 7-1 per. 0:43:32.150 --> 0:43:35.540 79 yards to Blake Corum at a 6-6 clip. 0:43:35.680 --> 0:43:38.700 Corum go over the right side and there's no containment. 0:43:38.800 --> 0:43:39.719 Corum with a big run. 0:43:41.480 --> 0:43:44.339 Arizona Cardinals head to the Bay this week looking to 0:43:44.420 --> 0:43:47.160 recapture that week one buzz they were feeling. 0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:51.480 Extra pressure. Brissette is floating one. Did Julian Love come 0:43:51.520 --> 0:43:54.049 up with the pick? The official says yes. 0:43:54.489 --> 0:43:57.380 Won't be easy to feel groovy again facing the 2-0 0:43:58.000 --> 0:44:00.520 49ers who just showed they are not prone to looking 0:44:00.580 --> 0:44:01.680 past their opponent. 0:44:02.000 --> 0:44:05.160 Good play fake. Purdy chugging for the goal line. Purdy 0:44:05.380 --> 0:44:07.060 in for the touchdown. 0:44:07.480 --> 0:44:11.640 Brock Purdy is feeling it to start 2026. BCB ball 0:44:11.920 --> 0:44:14.799 in full effect right now. Ran for 30 yards week 0:44:14.860 --> 0:44:18.770 two with that TD. plus through two piled up 287 0:44:18.770 --> 0:44:24.190 yards a redonkulous 13 yards per attempt a 149 rate 0:44:24.350 --> 0:44:26.270 just short of perfect. 0:44:25.930 --> 0:44:29.900 Play action use check down the sideline touchdown san. 0:44:30.580 --> 0:44:34.759 Francisco arizona in turn dealing with a niners offense that 0:44:34.800 --> 0:44:38.220 put up 27 plus points in each game 35 last 0:44:38.320 --> 0:44:42.020 week five for seven moving the sticks A perfect 5-for-5 0:44:42.080 --> 0:44:43.180 inside the 20. 0:44:43.180 --> 0:44:46.650 McCaffrey, second and goal, in for the touchdown. 0:44:46.930 --> 0:44:51.190 Cardinals defense, meantime, just gave up 31. Purdy looking at 0:44:51.230 --> 0:44:54.730 a secondary that gave up three TDs to Drew Locke. 0:44:54.730 --> 0:44:58.070 235 yards on nine per attempt, a rate allowed close 0:44:58.110 --> 0:45:01.060 to 140, so they have a lot of cleanup work 0:45:01.100 --> 0:45:02.160 to do week over week. 0:45:02.260 --> 0:45:05.780 Towards the sideline, it's a Jigma. Jackson, Smith, and Jigma. 0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:10.280 Their secondary gave up 155 yards and all three TDs 0:45:10.320 --> 0:45:14.220 to Jackson Smith and Jigba. Next-gen stats tagged safety Buda 0:45:14.280 --> 0:45:18.089 Baker with two of the touchdowns and a hefty 105 yards. 0:45:18.219 --> 0:45:21.930 Jigba on Buda Baker, stabs him to the outside, cuts 0:45:21.969 --> 0:45:22.810 back inside. 0:45:23.030 --> 0:45:26.029 Cardinals lost two corners to injury, too, so it could 0:45:26.070 --> 0:45:29.410 get worse. Arizona's pass rush only got to lock once 0:45:29.469 --> 0:45:33.029 on 26 pass attempts, didn't even pressure lock 30% of 0:45:33.050 --> 0:45:35.130 the time, and now they have to try and get 0:45:35.170 --> 0:45:38.799 to Purdy who wasn't sacked once on 22 throws, he 0:45:38.840 --> 0:45:41.730 was blitzed 40% of the time too and only faced 0:45:41.850 --> 0:45:45.310 pressure 24% of the time. Made it easy to complete 0:45:45.350 --> 0:45:48.530 long passes, like the 40-yarder he hooked up with George 0:45:48.590 --> 0:45:51.210 Kittle on. He scored and went for 80 yards. 0:45:51.350 --> 0:45:54.170 With time, to the end zone, it's Kittle! 0:45:54.430 --> 0:45:57.680 His first touchdown since the return! 0:45:58.200 --> 0:46:02.160 Six different San Fran guys had 25-plus yards Week 2. 0:46:02.160 --> 0:46:07.000 Kyle Juszczyk scored with 27. Debo had 31. Demarcus Robinson, 31. 0:46:08.090 --> 0:46:10.109 Though he got hurt, he's going to miss a few weeks. 0:46:10.410 --> 0:46:13.709 Mike Evans also left the game hurt after going for 0:46:13.710 --> 0:46:16.430 54 yards. Hip injury, but they think he'll be okay 0:46:16.489 --> 0:46:16.890 this week. 0:46:17.010 --> 0:46:21.670 Resets, finds Evans, loping down the sidelines, and Evans out 0:46:21.690 --> 0:46:22.760 of bounds with the one. 0:46:23.070 --> 0:46:26.140 And Christian McCaffrey hauled in 43 receiving yards. 0:46:26.320 --> 0:46:30.339 Middle, it's McCaffrey inside the 10, rolling his way to 0:46:30.360 --> 0:46:31.180 the 1. 0:46:31.180 --> 0:46:33.779 CMC comes in off a rough game down low, though, 0:46:33.780 --> 0:46:36.739 23 yards on 10 attempts. He at least made two 0:46:36.820 --> 0:46:38.200 trips to Bob Ross land. 0:46:38.430 --> 0:46:41.750 McCaffrey leaping in for the touchdown. 0:46:41.989 --> 0:46:45.310 Kalen Black only 25 yards, so that's the area they 0:46:45.350 --> 0:46:48.450 hope to shine up a little this week. Arizona's entire 0:46:48.630 --> 0:46:52.170 offense needs Mr. Miyagi to get Daniel LaRusso to wax 0:46:52.230 --> 0:46:55.690 it up. Only seven points versus Seattle, three for 12 0:46:55.690 --> 0:47:00.490 on third down, and these numbers are brutal. 151 total 0:47:00.550 --> 0:47:04.810 yards of offense on a minuscule 3.2 yards per play. 0:47:04.910 --> 0:47:07.590 We'll throw into the dirt. Harrison was in the area, 0:47:07.680 --> 0:47:09.799 but he just didn't want to be back there when 0:47:09.840 --> 0:47:11.580 the Seahawks closed in on him. 0:47:11.840 --> 0:47:15.400 Jacoby Brissett enters as dazed and confused as it gets. 0:47:15.400 --> 0:47:19.359 95 yards on 3.4 per attempt. Almost would have been 0:47:19.400 --> 0:47:21.859 better not to drop back at that rate. He got 0:47:21.950 --> 0:47:22.549 picked off. 0:47:22.850 --> 0:47:26.630 You cool, man? 0:47:26.650 --> 0:47:29.469 Uh, no, not after that kind of game. He took 0:47:29.530 --> 0:47:32.350 two sacks on 28 pass attempts, which isn't so bad, 0:47:32.410 --> 0:47:35.480 but he got pressured over 40% of the time, even 0:47:35.500 --> 0:47:37.339 though he only got blitzed on 19% of his throws. 0:47:38.810 --> 0:47:42.720 NextGenStats tagged left tackle Parris Johnson with one sack allowed 0:47:43.010 --> 0:47:45.399 and a whopping 19% pressure rate. 0:47:45.500 --> 0:47:47.680 Brissette, and he'll go down. 0:47:47.780 --> 0:47:50.160 Brissette handled the pressure he faced about as well as 0:47:50.219 --> 0:47:53.320 Phil Dunphy does, and now here comes a 49ers pass 0:47:53.400 --> 0:47:56.690 rush that buried Malik Willis four times on just 23 0:47:56.690 --> 0:47:59.549 pass attempts. Jacoby will need to be ready for heat. 0:47:59.890 --> 0:48:03.380 as San Francisco sent 5-plus 46% of the time. 0:48:03.660 --> 0:48:06.339 Willis on the run, and Willis runs out of bounds 0:48:06.420 --> 0:48:07.660 and takes a loss at the 10. 0:48:07.660 --> 0:48:09.029 Fred Warner there to shove him out. 0:48:09.239 --> 0:48:11.890 Success is 1% inspiration, 98% perspiration, and 2% attention to detail. 0:48:15.150 --> 0:48:18.569 Secondary Brissette gets this week did give up a 77-yard 0:48:18.630 --> 0:48:21.239 TD to Willis, which allowed him to get out of 0:48:21.300 --> 0:48:25.219 Dodge with a 100-plus rate. Cornerback Upton Stout on the 0:48:25.280 --> 0:48:27.740 hook for that bomb, according to NGS. 0:48:27.820 --> 0:48:30.620 Actually, Upton Stout's down inside a little bit more, and 0:48:30.660 --> 0:48:31.980 he's looking into the backfield. 0:48:32.020 --> 0:48:33.720 He has no help over the top. 0:48:33.900 --> 0:48:36.600 But that was the only real slip-up they suffered. They 0:48:36.640 --> 0:48:39.560 still held Willis to less than 200 yards, held Miami 0:48:39.600 --> 0:48:42.380 to 13 points, so haven't given up 14 in a 0:48:42.400 --> 0:48:43.120 game so far. 0:48:43.500 --> 0:48:46.160 In some trouble, able to break free and throw over 0:48:46.180 --> 0:48:47.210 the middle incomplete. 0:48:47.370 --> 0:48:50.009 Arizona's Trey McBride has a shot to start the year 0:48:50.030 --> 0:48:52.489 with a touchdown and three straight. He accounted for their 0:48:52.550 --> 0:48:56.130 lone week two touchdown, 41 yards on eight catches. 0:48:56.330 --> 0:48:58.920 Well, when you've got 85, you've got a chance to 0:48:58.940 --> 0:48:59.720 do something special. 0:48:59.780 --> 0:49:03.100 But not much action from anybody else. Michael Wilson saw 0:49:03.219 --> 0:49:07.299 seven targets, only 18 yards. Marvin Harrison, only one target. 0:49:07.719 --> 0:49:12.219 Zero yards. Kendrick Bourne, 11 yards. And Jeremiah Love also 0:49:12.300 --> 0:49:16.130 hits this contest cold. 29 yards, nine carries for 3-2 0:49:16.410 --> 0:49:16.770 a run. 0:49:16.790 --> 0:49:18.230 And Love will lose a yard. 0:49:18.310 --> 0:49:20.880 Tries to get it going against DeSantis. Fran front that 0:49:20.920 --> 0:49:23.840 held Devon Achan to less than 4 yards per carry. 0:49:23.980 --> 0:49:26.029 So another tough test lies ahead. 0:49:26.120 --> 0:49:27.250 Achan again. 0:49:27.270 --> 0:49:30.870 And Achan this time runs right into the arms of 0:49:30.930 --> 0:49:31.730 Grayson Holton. 0:49:33.290 --> 0:49:37.620 Lamar, Derek, Dak, CD, they've all been practicing the Samba 0:49:37.640 --> 0:49:40.620 this week. Maybe the Pacino, because when they celebrate a 0:49:40.680 --> 0:49:44.090 TD in Rio, they best do it right. The flock, though, 0:49:44.270 --> 0:49:47.870 not doing much celebrating last week, just a lot of fuming. 0:49:48.170 --> 0:49:51.370 It comes down to this. Shuck, again on the keeper. 0:49:51.469 --> 0:49:54.990 Did he get the push? Touchdown! 0:49:55.270 --> 0:49:57.940 Boy, and this, if he got in, this is just 0:49:58.020 --> 0:49:59.020 by a whisker. 0:49:59.420 --> 0:50:00.960 I don't think he got the ball across. 0:50:01.280 --> 0:50:04.200 After review, the ruling of the field stands as called. 0:50:05.280 --> 0:50:08.310 Hey, man, if penalties and face masks can't be reviewed, 0:50:08.489 --> 0:50:11.870 somebody explain how that was a TD. I will wait. 0:50:12.290 --> 0:50:15.469 Cowboys head to South America vibing, though. The stripes not 0:50:15.530 --> 0:50:19.189 only favored them, their offense snapped, too. They seemed ready 0:50:19.210 --> 0:50:19.770 to party. 0:50:19.890 --> 0:50:22.850 Here's Prescott. Going deep for CeeDee Lamb. 0:50:22.950 --> 0:50:23.049 Up. 0:50:23.700 --> 0:50:24.430 Lamb. 0:50:24.450 --> 0:50:27.660 Got him. Touchdown, Dallas. 0:50:27.940 --> 0:50:31.040 Prescott now has the most touchdown passes in Dallas Cowboys history. 0:50:31.200 --> 0:50:34.359 Prescott may not be a week one aficionado. But after 0:50:34.420 --> 0:50:38.120 he's warmed up, look out, dropped 279 yards and four 0:50:38.160 --> 0:50:41.990 TDs with no picks week two, hits Brazil off a gem. 0:50:42.070 --> 0:50:47.259 Prescott back, it's caught, touchdown Cowboys, Jake Ferguson. 0:50:47.660 --> 0:50:51.740 So does CeeDee Lamb, 153 yards and two TDs, scored 0:50:51.780 --> 0:50:54.860 week one too so he's looking for a three-game scoring 0:50:54.900 --> 0:50:57.549 streak to start his 2026. 0:50:56.739 --> 0:51:01.170 Fake throw cd lamb touchdown. 0:51:00.430 --> 0:51:05.149 Dallas cowboys offense rumbles in off a 37-point outing got 0:51:05.190 --> 0:51:08.299 some slushies while moving the sticks seven of 11 times 0:51:08.380 --> 0:51:10.540 converted three of four red zone trips. 0:51:10.340 --> 0:51:12.600 Throw in it is caught for a first down out 0:51:12.640 --> 0:51:15.480 there to ferguson who had the touchdown earlier. 0:51:15.219 --> 0:51:18.940 Baltimore's defense nice week one take away seven from their 0:51:19.000 --> 0:51:22.359 total last week, and they'd have fared even better, held 0:51:22.420 --> 0:51:24.600 New Orleans to 4.7 yards per play. 0:51:24.860 --> 0:51:29.420 Chandler Rivers, no hesitation, beats the block, shoots his gun, 0:51:29.920 --> 0:51:32.360 perfect form tackle, and a huge play. 0:51:32.530 --> 0:51:36.330 Technically, 23 and 24 points allowed in their first two games, though, 0:51:36.650 --> 0:51:39.370 and the secondary DAC faces gave up a 100-plus rate 0:51:39.410 --> 0:51:41.569 to Tyler Shuck, over 250 yards, a touchdown, no picks, 0:51:43.570 --> 0:51:46.890 Safety Jalen Hawkins gave up a team-high 90 yards according 0:51:46.930 --> 0:51:50.410 to NextGenStats. Safety Malachi Starks allowed a touchdown. 0:51:50.650 --> 0:51:52.410 He bites on the corner route. 0:51:52.489 --> 0:51:56.710 That's Starks, and Shuck fires it, a dart to Olave 0:51:56.770 --> 0:51:57.550 for the touchdown. 0:51:57.670 --> 0:52:00.529 They gave up 86 yards and a TD to Chris Olave, 0:52:00.530 --> 0:52:04.779 64 yards to Devon Bailey, and 66 yards to tight 0:52:04.820 --> 0:52:08.490 end Jawan Johnson. Dallas' tight end Jake Ferguson scored twice 0:52:08.550 --> 0:52:10.830 versus the Commanders, 43 yards. 0:52:11.010 --> 0:52:16.010 It is caught! Touchdown! Jake Ferguson, number two! 0:52:16.489 --> 0:52:18.610 George Pickens chipped in 40 yards. 0:52:18.770 --> 0:52:19.609 Who's open? 0:52:20.010 --> 0:52:23.260 Pickens gets smacked! And there's a penalty, but he held 0:52:23.320 --> 0:52:24.180 on to the football. 0:52:24.340 --> 0:52:28.100 Dak was sacked twice by Washington, threw 31 times, so 0:52:28.160 --> 0:52:30.839 not a bad ratio, but he was pressured over 40% 0:52:30.840 --> 0:52:33.940 of the time. Cooper Beebe gave up a sack and 0:52:33.980 --> 0:52:36.609 an 11% pressure rate, which is high for a center. 0:52:36.950 --> 0:52:40.170 That could be something Nnamdi Madubike takes advantage of if 0:52:40.210 --> 0:52:43.830 he returns from injury. Either way, though, Baltimore's pass rush 0:52:44.110 --> 0:52:48.230 comes off a three-sack outing. Trey Hendrickson, Mike Green. Tavius 0:52:48.310 --> 0:52:51.589 Robinson doing the damage, Robinson with sacks in his first 0:52:51.630 --> 0:52:52.190 two games. 0:52:52.360 --> 0:52:54.299 And Baltimore tightened up the screws on the run defense, 0:52:54.860 --> 0:52:56.299 holding New Orleans to 65 rush yards on just 2-4 0:52:56.320 --> 0:52:58.540 a carry. Javonte Williams comes in cold, held to 30 0:52:58.540 --> 0:52:59.940 yards and 2-5 a run versus Washington. 0:53:16.850 --> 0:53:19.509 Under 3-5 a carry in each game so far. 0:53:19.700 --> 0:53:22.640 Hit right away is Williams, who breaks free, but swarmed. 0:53:23.070 --> 0:53:26.500 Stopping the run, though, is a bigger deal if you're Dallas' defense. 0:53:26.580 --> 0:53:29.340 They have the King and Lamar to deal with. Cowboys 0:53:29.380 --> 0:53:31.819 gave up a lot of yards to Jackson Dart week one, 0:53:32.100 --> 0:53:35.320 then gave up 69 rush yards to Jaden Daniels last week, 0:53:35.600 --> 0:53:37.000 and he didn't finish the game. 0:53:37.100 --> 0:53:40.240 Daniels gonna run. Why not? It's work today. Big hole, 0:53:40.300 --> 0:53:41.140 Jaden Daniels! 0:53:41.320 --> 0:53:44.980 Lamar only ran four times versus New Orleans, 8-5 a carry, 0:53:45.380 --> 0:53:49.009 ran more week one, And so did Derrick. Henry still 0:53:49.070 --> 0:53:52.470 scored again, 68 yards on 4-3 a run versus the Saints. 0:53:52.730 --> 0:53:58.460 Henry looking for a crease. Henry in for the Baltimore touchdown. 0:53:58.880 --> 0:54:02.100 But 16 attempts, they always seem to have these games 0:54:02.140 --> 0:54:04.580 where they don't feed them enough. But you'd think they'd 0:54:04.660 --> 0:54:07.399 load him up versus Dallas, even though they won the game. 0:54:07.400 --> 0:54:12.310 182 rush yards allowed overall at a 5-7 clip. 0:54:12.430 --> 0:54:16.050 Big hole for Rashad White, who bursts his way inside 0:54:16.090 --> 0:54:17.080 the 15. 0:54:17.080 --> 0:54:20.100 Jackson had to play without Zay Flowers. Hopefully he's back 0:54:20.140 --> 0:54:23.529 this week. You know that dude has serious dance moves prepped. 0:54:23.850 --> 0:54:26.810 Rashad Bateman led the way in his wake, 88 yards 0:54:26.870 --> 0:54:27.530 into TD. 0:54:27.790 --> 0:54:32.050 Dead pass, pinpoint, it's Bateman for the touchdown. 0:54:32.460 --> 0:54:34.780 Mark Andrews, 49 yards week two. 0:54:34.920 --> 0:54:37.620 Jackson over the middle, delivers a strike, and this should 0:54:37.640 --> 0:54:38.939 be a Baltimore first down. 0:54:38.980 --> 0:54:41.259 Devontae Walker with a 47-yarder. 0:54:41.420 --> 0:54:43.750 This is where he was so deadly last week, takes 0:54:43.810 --> 0:54:46.550 a shot, there's a flag thrown, and it is caught. 0:54:47.110 --> 0:54:47.689 Devontae Walker. 0:54:49.210 --> 0:54:52.790 Jackson with one TD, 235 yards last week. 0:54:53.090 --> 0:54:55.609 Second at 10, Jackson throws a dart. 0:54:55.930 --> 0:54:59.160 Wasn't able to produce on the final drive though. Last 0:54:59.280 --> 0:55:03.900 pass intercepted, so Ravens offense clocked out with just 17 points. 0:55:04.080 --> 0:55:07.540 Picked off, and the Saints turn out the lights on 0:55:07.580 --> 0:55:08.280 the Ravens. 0:55:08.460 --> 0:55:11.660 Dallas' defense with a better week two. In their case, 0:55:11.719 --> 0:55:15.169 the instant replay gods did save them seven points. so 0:55:15.250 --> 0:55:16.910 they held Washington to 20. 0:55:16.910 --> 0:55:19.330 So they ruled incomplete. The call on the field was 0:55:19.350 --> 0:55:22.250 a touchdown. It was reversed, and that looked like the 0:55:22.290 --> 0:55:22.770 right call. 0:55:22.790 --> 0:55:26.270 The secondary Lamar Battles gave up two touchdowns, one each 0:55:26.330 --> 0:55:30.649 to Daniels and Marcus Mariota, allowed a 99-plus rate to each. 0:55:30.969 --> 0:55:34.090 Both TDs allowed to Stephon Diggs, and they didn't sack 0:55:34.200 --> 0:55:35.410 either quarterback once. 0:55:35.719 --> 0:55:40.000 Throwing, end zone corner, Diggs. He's got it! 0:55:40.140 --> 0:55:42.440 But if you want glass half full numbers, only 207 0:55:42.440 --> 0:55:46.660 yards allowed, and they held Washington's passing attack to 5-9 0:55:47.020 --> 0:55:50.549 per attempt. A zero sack bunch week two versus an 0:55:50.680 --> 0:55:53.850 O-line that gave up three, and the Ravens left tackle. 0:55:53.930 --> 0:55:56.830 Ronnie Stanley left hurt. Before he left, he gave up 0:55:56.950 --> 0:56:01.089 five pressures and a 17.9 pressure rate. His backup gave 0:56:01.170 --> 0:56:05.049 up an 18% pressure rate. Center Javon Gwynn gave up 0:56:05.210 --> 0:56:07.350 one and a half sacks, according to NGS. 0:56:07.690 --> 0:56:10.430 Shot out of a cannon, and by the time Jackson 0:56:10.489 --> 0:56:11.700 saw him, it was too late. 0:56:13.469 --> 0:56:16.050 Hey, look at this, a couple of 1-1 teams getting 0:56:16.090 --> 0:56:19.610 down in this one, both rolling off wins. Carolina on 0:56:19.650 --> 0:56:22.750 the road in Cleveland, feeling pretty good about that QB 0:56:22.790 --> 0:56:23.230 of theirs. 0:56:23.310 --> 0:56:25.189 Carolina with a bounce back. 0:56:25.230 --> 0:56:27.900 They will be met by a pretty raucous dog pound 0:56:27.960 --> 0:56:29.979 that gets to cheer on its team for the first 0:56:30.020 --> 0:56:33.280 time this year, and maybe cheer on their signal caller, 0:56:33.440 --> 0:56:35.620 which they aren't really used to doing, right? 0:56:36.060 --> 0:56:38.640 And Deshaun Watson and the Browns, 1-1. 0:56:39.000 --> 0:56:41.609 Hey man, Deshaun Watson faced off with the guy many 0:56:41.670 --> 0:56:45.260 Browns fans viewed, as the guy that got away and 0:56:45.400 --> 0:56:49.100 went 24 of 30 for 238 yards, two TDs, and 0:56:49.180 --> 0:56:51.700 no picks. It's as good as he's looked in years 0:56:51.760 --> 0:56:55.370 for a full game. So what if he's finally refinding 0:56:55.410 --> 0:56:57.370 the form that led to that big trade? 0:56:57.790 --> 0:57:02.950 Touchdown, 17 yards from Deshaun Watson. 0:57:03.810 --> 0:57:05.800 To keep it going, he has to dice up a 0:57:05.860 --> 0:57:09.279 Panthers defense and secondary that you can best describe as 0:57:09.540 --> 0:57:13.030 As the mayor of Halloweentown over two weeks, all nervous 0:57:13.090 --> 0:57:15.710 and twitchy versus Caleb Williams and the Bears giving up 0:57:15.710 --> 0:57:20.420 59 points. But then, all smiles last week versus Atlanta, 0:57:20.640 --> 0:57:24.280 holding them to three points. Coming up with three INTs, 0:57:24.720 --> 0:57:27.720 one pick six, so that's basically like holding them to 0:57:27.800 --> 0:57:28.990 minus four points. 0:57:29.010 --> 0:57:31.370 From looking like a train wreck to just 4.3 yards 0:57:31.390 --> 0:57:33.030 per play, four for 13 on third down, zero red 0:57:33.070 --> 0:57:33.690 zone trips allowed. 0:57:42.430 --> 0:57:44.450 That's a really solid defensive play. 0:57:44.530 --> 0:57:45.230 Really good play. 0:57:45.470 --> 0:57:48.650 Yes, they were dealing with Cooper Rush and Jack Strand 0:57:48.930 --> 0:57:52.170 and an offense that hasn't crossed the 20 once this year. 0:57:52.690 --> 0:57:56.340 By comparison, Cleveland's 23 points last week makes them look 0:57:56.360 --> 0:57:58.820 like a juggernaut, but they still have a lot of 0:57:58.880 --> 0:58:01.780 work to do. Fewer than five yards per play is rough, 0:58:02.160 --> 0:58:05.300 and their run game has been almost non-existent in each 0:58:05.360 --> 0:58:09.030 game so far. Quinshawn Judkins went from 2.8 a carry 0:58:09.050 --> 0:58:11.930 week one to 1.8 per last week. 0:58:12.370 --> 0:58:14.930 They go to Judkins, he tries to make one man miss, 0:58:15.470 --> 0:58:16.390 and he cannot. 0:58:18.130 --> 0:58:21.270 Maybe he gets it fired up versus Carolina's defense. They 0:58:21.310 --> 0:58:25.580 did give up 157 rush yards to Atlanta. Sure, 72 0:58:25.580 --> 0:58:28.640 on 4-5 a pop to Bijon is expected, but they 0:58:28.780 --> 0:58:32.660 also gave up 51 yards to Brian Robinson on 4-6 0:58:32.700 --> 0:58:35.640 a carry, and they got gashed by Chicago's running backs 0:58:35.680 --> 0:58:40.420 in the opener. Panthers pass rush hits week three off 0:58:40.460 --> 0:58:43.420 a three sack game. Jalen Phillips with his second in 0:58:43.460 --> 0:58:47.100 as many games. Devin Lloyd coming in en fuego as 0:58:47.140 --> 0:58:49.459 he not only had that pick six, he had three 0:58:49.520 --> 0:58:52.680 passes defensed, two TFLs and a sack. 0:58:53.200 --> 0:58:57.950 Devin Lloyd has put a dinosaur sized footprint on this first. 0:58:57.780 --> 0:58:58.610 Half for Carolina. 0:58:58.780 --> 0:59:01.930 Carolina turned up the blitz knob, sending five plus 53% 0:59:01.930 --> 0:59:05.910 of the time last week. Watson was blitzed 50% of 0:59:05.930 --> 0:59:08.610 the time, but he was okay with it, obviously, taking 0:59:08.670 --> 0:59:11.680 two sacks on 30 passes. attempts in that scenario is 0:59:11.720 --> 0:59:14.820 a win. Right tackle Titus Howard, though, gave up one 0:59:15.120 --> 0:59:18.140 and a pretty high pressure rate, according to NextGenStats. He's 0:59:18.200 --> 0:59:20.960 given up one in both games, surrendering a high pressure 0:59:20.980 --> 0:59:21.640 rate in both. 0:59:22.000 --> 0:59:24.160 Gotta be more stout right there if you're Titus Howard. 0:59:24.520 --> 0:59:28.220 Panthers DBs allowed 55 yards to Drake London last week, 0:59:28.340 --> 0:59:32.470 locked everybody else up. Seven different guys caught Watson passes 0:59:32.510 --> 0:59:35.270 week two, only two finished with more than 30 yards. 0:59:35.410 --> 0:59:40.150 Carolina corners, this Denzel Boston kid is for real. Scored again, 0:59:40.450 --> 0:59:41.970 TD in each of their games. 0:59:42.350 --> 0:59:44.939 Boston makes a bad miss on the spin move. He 0:59:44.960 --> 0:59:45.500 can go. 0:59:45.800 --> 0:59:50.300 Rookie with a career-high 95 yards versus the Bucs. Casey Concepcion, 0:59:50.300 --> 0:59:55.250 28 yards. Tight end Harold Fannin five catches, 54 yards. 0:59:55.550 --> 0:59:59.010 Watson to his left. He's got Fannin at the 41-yard line. 0:59:59.190 --> 1:00:02.590 Brown's defense enters with some confidence. They looked a lot 1:00:02.630 --> 1:00:05.590 better week over week. After getting lit up by Trevor 1:00:05.610 --> 1:00:08.450 Lawrence in the Jags offense, they held Baker Mayfield and 1:00:08.510 --> 1:00:11.290 company in check. Held Mayfield to 182 yards, only 5.4 1:00:11.290 --> 1:00:16.810 yards per attempt. A low 70s rate while picking him off. 1:00:17.220 --> 1:00:19.280 Stepped up with the game on the line. 1:00:19.590 --> 1:00:21.300 Fourth down and a go to the end zone. 1:00:22.040 --> 1:00:23.020 Incomplete. 1:00:23.760 --> 1:00:25.820 And that should do it for the Browns. 1:00:26.600 --> 1:00:29.260 Held Tampa Bay to 19 points. One for four in 1:00:29.280 --> 1:00:31.400 the red zone. Only five yards per play. 1:00:31.660 --> 1:00:34.540 Throw to the end zone. Almost intercepted. 1:00:34.660 --> 1:00:37.080 So they're hoping to carry over some of that mojo 1:00:37.120 --> 1:00:39.480 into this week. It's not going to be easy facing 1:00:39.540 --> 1:00:44.750 Bryce Young though. How's that sound keep pounding? Over 350 yards, 1:00:44.850 --> 1:00:48.830 three TDs week one. Then he piles up 287 yards 1:00:48.890 --> 1:00:53.080 and three more TDs week two. 115-plus rate. He's topped 1:00:53.080 --> 1:00:57.620 110 in each game. He's very much looking like H-I-M. 1:00:58.260 --> 1:01:01.020 What a catch and a phenomenal throw. 1:01:01.560 --> 1:01:05.210 In turn, Brown's D stacked against a Carolina O-face that's 1:01:05.230 --> 1:01:09.590 gone for 27-plus points back-to-back games, 27 versus Atlanta. 1:01:09.870 --> 1:01:11.130 Touchdown, Carolina! 1:01:12.680 --> 1:01:15.860 Young took two sacks on 36 pass attempts versus Atlanta. 1:01:16.140 --> 1:01:18.880 That's a ratio they can live with. He did, however, 1:01:18.980 --> 1:01:23.180 face pressure 51% of the time, only blitzed 28% of 1:01:23.200 --> 1:01:26.630 the time. NGS tagged left guard Damian Lewis with a 1:01:26.660 --> 1:01:30.550 sack allowed, right tackle Monroe Freeling with one. He's allowed 1:01:30.790 --> 1:01:31.630 one in each game. 1:01:32.070 --> 1:01:33.370 They got home that time. 1:01:33.930 --> 1:01:36.810 Pass rush Bryce tries to elude this week comes off 1:01:36.870 --> 1:01:40.670 a three-sack outing. Browns only blitzing Mayfield 30% of his 1:01:40.730 --> 1:01:45.020 passes still generated pressure over 40% of the time. Mason 1:01:45.060 --> 1:01:47.100 Graham with his second sack in two games. 1:01:47.320 --> 1:01:50.420 Mason Graham continues to evolve. He is a heck of 1:01:50.500 --> 1:01:51.040 a talent. 1:01:51.200 --> 1:01:54.910 Cleveland DBs gave up a 49-yard reception to Tez Johnson. 1:01:54.970 --> 1:01:58.650 Cornerback Tyson Campbell pegged for allowing a team-high 70 yards. 1:01:59.130 --> 1:02:02.890 But their secondary held Emeka Ibuka to 16 yards. Top 1:02:02.910 --> 1:02:06.380 guy they wrangle with this week. Tedaroa McMillan comes off 1:02:06.420 --> 1:02:09.480 his first 100-yard game of the year after starting the 1:02:09.500 --> 1:02:10.310 year off with 75. 1:02:10.300 --> 1:02:12.540 Jalen Coker had a monster week one, then hauled in 1:02:12.560 --> 1:02:13.640 eight balls for 66 yards. 1:02:14.020 --> 1:02:15.960 Xavier Leguette chipped in with 64 a week ago. 1:02:27.570 --> 1:02:29.550 Throws deep downfield for Liguette. 1:02:29.870 --> 1:02:30.850 Makes the catch! 1:02:31.310 --> 1:02:35.410 Maybe the biggest catch of his career, Xavier Liguette. 1:02:37.970 --> 1:02:41.030 And tied in Darren Waller two touchdowns a week ago. 1:02:41.390 --> 1:02:43.090 Bryce is really feeling it now. 1:02:43.490 --> 1:02:46.540 There's another strike. Touchdown, Waller. 1:02:47.650 --> 1:02:50.470 Chuba Hubbard heads into week three off two solid outings, 1:02:50.470 --> 1:02:53.610 53 yards, 4-4 per carry versus Atlanta. 1:02:53.730 --> 1:02:55.700 Hubbard sets sail for another first down. 1:02:55.910 --> 1:02:58.700 He takes on a Cleveland defense that gave up 89 1:02:58.700 --> 1:03:01.100 yards on over five a carry to Bucky Irving. 1:03:01.480 --> 1:03:02.840 Irving's got daylights. 1:03:03.560 --> 1:03:05.950 So Brown's hoping to clean some things up down low. 1:03:06.610 --> 1:03:10.790 Speaking of cleaning things up, Carolina, nine flags last week. 1:03:10.870 --> 1:03:13.400 Well, even when you have a blowout victory, coaches love 1:03:13.440 --> 1:03:15.800 to say, we got some things we need to clean up. 1:03:15.840 --> 1:03:17.760 I think we know what Canales has to clean up. 1:03:19.560 --> 1:03:22.220 Neither of these squads wants to start off 0-3, but 1:03:22.240 --> 1:03:26.400 one will. Indianapolis Colts still hoping to figure out a 1:03:26.440 --> 1:03:28.810 way to keep teams off the scoreboard so often and 1:03:28.890 --> 1:03:31.690 how to snap the nine-game losing streak they're on. 1:03:31.710 --> 1:03:33.850 Houston, meantime, hits Week 3 hoping to find a way 1:03:33.870 --> 1:03:36.870 to blend their Week 1-0 with their Week 2-D. 1:03:45.660 --> 1:03:47.760 They'd come up with that mixture and they'd be cooking 1:03:47.820 --> 1:03:49.100 with some serious gas. 1:03:49.400 --> 1:03:53.410 Third and 11, they need the 34. Here comes Anderson, 1:03:53.450 --> 1:03:56.410 he's got Burrow, held, spun, set! 1:03:56.850 --> 1:03:59.910 Texans defense, feeling like itself again ahead of week three, 1:04:00.210 --> 1:04:03.980 had trouble with Buffalo's offense but not Cincinnati's. Held them 1:04:04.020 --> 1:04:07.480 to 20 points, just 4.5 yards per play, 5 for 1:04:07.480 --> 1:04:11.380 15 on third down, basically played to their expected levels 1:04:11.440 --> 1:04:14.040 for the most part. what they expect again this. 1:04:13.980 --> 1:04:15.530 Week, too. 1:04:15.550 --> 1:04:25.189 The big battle on this side of the ball, their 1:04:25.330 --> 1:04:29.390 front versus Indy's O-line, and specifically Will Anderson and Daniil 1:04:29.470 --> 1:04:33.210 Hunter versus Indy's tackles. Anderson and Hunter with a sack 1:04:33.330 --> 1:04:36.930 each of Joe Burrow, Houston rolls in off a five-bag game. 1:04:37.170 --> 1:04:38.850 Colt's O-line, though, comes off a strong showing, too. Didn't 1:04:38.890 --> 1:04:41.210 allow Daniel Jones to get dropped once on 31 pass attempts. 1:04:41.230 --> 1:04:42.150 He was blitzed 39% of his. 1:04:42.090 --> 1:04:43.710 Throws, faced pressure less than 30% of the time. 1:04:55.560 --> 1:04:59.419 Great to put a spotlight on Nelson. Six-time All-Pro. Man, 1:04:59.500 --> 1:05:00.400 as he delivered. 1:05:00.640 --> 1:05:02.580 It was an ice cube kind of day for that 1:05:02.640 --> 1:05:05.570 group because they also helped pave the way for Jonathan 1:05:05.610 --> 1:05:08.690 Taylor to rip off some big runs. He scored twice, 1:05:08.690 --> 1:05:09.810 92 yards. 1:05:10.090 --> 1:05:11.910 Second and three. Taylor. 1:05:12.390 --> 1:05:12.790 Left. 1:05:13.150 --> 1:05:15.770 End zone. Touchdown, Indianapolis. 1:05:16.350 --> 1:05:19.110 Okay, he did grind a little. Only 3A to carry. 1:05:19.200 --> 1:05:22.400 But still, no need for any AKs. Taylor now faces 1:05:22.460 --> 1:05:25.080 a Texans front that held Chase Brown to four a run. 1:05:25.500 --> 1:05:28.660 held Cincinnati to 85 rush yards, 3-7 per. 1:05:28.820 --> 1:05:31.980 Brown, no place to go. Big time hits. All over 1:05:32.020 --> 1:05:32.480 the joint. 1:05:32.860 --> 1:05:35.439 Again, they were better on that front week over week. 1:05:35.800 --> 1:05:38.240 Against the pass, not a lot of yards allowed to 1:05:38.280 --> 1:05:41.490 Joe Shiesty. held him under 7 yards per attempt, but 1:05:41.590 --> 1:05:47.970 not able to pick him off, a rating allowed over 100. 1:05:47.970 --> 1:05:51.440 Gave up two TDs to Jamar Chase, cornered Derek Stingley 1:05:51.480 --> 1:05:54.300 allowed 78 yards in one of the touchdowns, but it 1:05:54.340 --> 1:05:57.640 took a Matrix-like catch to pull it off, it was crazy. 1:05:58.040 --> 1:06:00.460 Now on to Indiana Jones, he threw a pick for 1:06:00.480 --> 1:06:02.820 the second game in a row, but he rallied and 1:06:02.940 --> 1:06:06.010 isn't coming off a terrible game. didn't have Alec Pierce 1:06:06.030 --> 1:06:08.870 for part of it. He left hurt, but Jones with 1:06:08.930 --> 1:06:10.990 some big throws he's building off of. 1:06:12.290 --> 1:06:15.650 Jones retreats, got downs downfield. And the Colts get a 1:06:15.670 --> 1:06:16.230 first down. 1:06:16.450 --> 1:06:19.260 Taylor picked up 40 receiving yards in the passing game 1:06:19.300 --> 1:06:22.660 last week as well. Tyler Warren had the TD, just 1:06:22.660 --> 1:06:27.300 21 yards. Keenan Allen only five yards. Laquan Treadwell with 1:06:27.320 --> 1:06:31.200 the big 48-yarder in OT, 61 yards overall. 1:06:31.390 --> 1:06:34.270 He's thrown for Treadwell, who's got it at the 20, 1:06:34.270 --> 1:06:35.810 spins at the 16. 1:06:35.810 --> 1:06:39.950 And Josh Downs led the team in targets, receptions, and yards, 1:06:39.970 --> 1:06:40.830 72-yard night. 1:06:41.030 --> 1:06:44.610 He now becomes that guy for this offense. 1:06:44.930 --> 1:06:48.430 Texans offense also missing a key wideout. Their top guy, 1:06:48.490 --> 1:06:52.430 Nico Collins, missed last week altogether, so track his status 1:06:52.470 --> 1:06:55.890 this week, too. C.J. Stroud piled up plenty of yards 1:06:55.930 --> 1:07:00.370 without him, 353 of them, has started off 2026 with 1:07:00.450 --> 1:07:02.890 back-to-back 270-plus yard games. 1:07:03.170 --> 1:07:06.830 First and 10, going deep, and he's caught his receiver! 1:07:07.170 --> 1:07:08.410 What a throw to Noel! 1:07:08.830 --> 1:07:12.100 Now, he threw 55 times, ended the game with a 1:07:12.140 --> 1:07:15.820 sub-80 rate, averaged less than 7 yards per attempt and 1:07:15.900 --> 1:07:19.700 no touchdowns, offense needing a big Sean bounce back after 1:07:19.740 --> 1:07:21.680 going 0-4 in the red zone, 5-17 on 3rd down, 1:07:23.890 --> 1:07:27.540 0-4 on fourth downs and fewer than five yards per play. 1:07:27.800 --> 1:07:29.700 And they stop him! What a play! 1:07:29.940 --> 1:07:33.540 Blew it up and Montgomery could not carve the necessary yards. 1:07:33.840 --> 1:07:35.860 If you're a real one, you know how to bounce back. 1:07:36.140 --> 1:07:38.710 And if Indy doesn't find a way to play better defense, 1:07:38.850 --> 1:07:41.530 Stroud and company could do it. Colts defense gave up 1:07:41.530 --> 1:07:45.130 41 points to the Ravens, then 33 to Kansas City, 1:07:45.410 --> 1:07:48.180 allowed over 500 yards of offense last week. 1:07:48.460 --> 1:07:51.400 Mahomes, touchdown pass, number two on the night. 1:07:51.700 --> 1:07:54.790 Stroud, looking at a secondary that made Patrick Mahomes look 1:07:54.810 --> 1:07:59.090 like Patrick Mahomes again, gave up 382 yards to him. 1:07:59.450 --> 1:08:02.630 On over eight yards per attempt, three touchdowns, didn't pick 1:08:02.670 --> 1:08:06.780 him off, a 114 rate allowed, so back-to-back games giving 1:08:06.840 --> 1:08:07.200 up 320-plus yards. 1:08:07.220 --> 1:08:07.419 Thornton! 1:08:12.330 --> 1:08:16.189 Colts secondary, cornerback Justin Wally gave up two TDs and 1:08:16.210 --> 1:08:20.679 a team-high 105 yards, according to NGS. Both their inside 1:08:20.740 --> 1:08:25.220 linebackers gave up 50-plus yards each, too. 101 yards and 1:08:25.280 --> 1:08:27.850 a touchdown allowed to Travis Kelsey, and it was a 1:08:27.890 --> 1:08:31.189 tight end who ate the most for Houston versus Cincinnati. 1:08:31.580 --> 1:08:34.100 Dalton Schultz piling up 140 yards. 1:08:34.300 --> 1:08:35.680 What a catch by Schultz! 1:08:36.120 --> 1:08:38.280 Right up the seam, Schultz gets a hand up there 1:08:38.320 --> 1:08:40.020 and he's able to bring it in. 1:08:40.600 --> 1:08:44.880 Rest of Stroud's production spread out. Xavier Hutchinson, 37 yards. 1:08:45.040 --> 1:08:51.150 Keyshawn Booty, 37. Foster Moreau, 34 yards. Jared Wayne, 33. 1:08:51.150 --> 1:08:54.229 Stroud was sacked four times on his 55 pass attempts. 1:08:54.590 --> 1:08:57.550 All four came in the fourth quarter. Left guard Keelan 1:08:57.590 --> 1:09:01.200 Rutledge allowed one with a 16% press rate allowed. Right 1:09:01.240 --> 1:09:04.060 tackle Trent Brown gave up one with a hefty 20% 1:09:04.060 --> 1:09:08.260 pressure rate given up. And left tackle Ariante Ursary gave 1:09:08.320 --> 1:09:13.870 up two sacks. Stroud didn't face many blitzes either, still 1:09:13.930 --> 1:09:17.940 faced pressure over 40% of his throws. Colts didn't blitz 1:09:17.979 --> 1:09:21.100 Mahomes much, didn't pressure him much, only two sacks on 1:09:21.100 --> 1:09:24.500 47 pass attempts, and they didn't play the run well either, 1:09:24.800 --> 1:09:28.679 gave up 117 yards on 4-9 to carry to Kenneth Walker. 1:09:28.979 --> 1:09:32.280 Bouncing it to the outside with Mahomes out in front 1:09:32.350 --> 1:09:33.610 looking for somebody to block. 1:09:33.729 --> 1:09:36.889 Something's got to give then, because Houston's rush attack only 1:09:36.950 --> 1:09:40.710 produced 60 yards. Woody Marks and David Montgomery each finishing 1:09:40.729 --> 1:09:42.349 with less than two yards a try. 1:09:42.570 --> 1:09:45.630 And Marks almost had his helmet taken off by Miles Murphy. 1:09:47.240 --> 1:09:50.350 Miami Dolphins at home for the first time this year, 1:09:50.490 --> 1:09:52.750 still trying to win a game for the first time 1:09:52.810 --> 1:09:55.010 this year, too. Yeah, you're a great player, man. 1:09:55.070 --> 1:09:57.570 I grew up a big Minnesota fan. Oh, yeah, that's right. 1:09:57.640 --> 1:09:58.100 That's right. 1:09:58.700 --> 1:09:59.860 Yeah, you're a great player. You have a great career 1:09:59.880 --> 1:10:00.960 at Tech, man. You're going to be a good player 1:10:00.979 --> 1:10:01.280 in the league. 1:10:01.520 --> 1:10:03.540 That won't be easy, though, as they take on the 1:10:03.560 --> 1:10:07.010 2-0 Chiefs who could be more dangerous than ever if 1:10:07.050 --> 1:10:09.270 their Week 2 offense is going to be a thing 1:10:09.330 --> 1:10:10.270 going forward. 1:10:10.530 --> 1:10:13.259 Final play of Sunday, number two of the season, Butker 1:10:13.560 --> 1:10:15.490 from 40 for the win! 1:10:16.260 --> 1:10:17.250 Kansas City, 2-0! 1:10:19.240 --> 1:10:21.500 Used to be that no one would give Patrick Mahomes 1:10:21.560 --> 1:10:24.320 the ball back in overtime. Then a couple of down 1:10:24.380 --> 1:10:27.580 years came along, an injury, so maybe he just isn't 1:10:27.620 --> 1:10:30.179 the same. Well, he's strutting in off a 382-yard, 3-TD outing, 1:10:33.220 --> 1:10:37.180 No interceptions, 1-14 rate game. Cue the little girl in 1:10:37.240 --> 1:10:40.160 Poltergeist 2. He's back. 1:10:40.660 --> 1:10:44.610 From the 13, Mahomes fires right. Kelsey! Touchdown! 1:10:46.530 --> 1:10:49.350 But he's never been paired with a back like this. 1:10:49.370 --> 1:10:52.810 Miami's defense has to be able to stop Kenneth Walker too, 1:10:53.170 --> 1:10:57.059 and apparently he's still going. followed up his monster KC 1:10:57.120 --> 1:11:01.339 debut with a 117-yard 4-9 per carry encore. 1:11:01.700 --> 1:11:05.160 Even the Kansas City Chiefs talked about how much better 1:11:05.680 --> 1:11:09.400 their defense got because of all the bounce-outs and bounce-arounds 1:11:09.439 --> 1:11:11.290 that they had to deal with with Walker. 1:11:11.570 --> 1:11:15.730 In turn, Finn's defense stacked against a KCO that's put 1:11:15.790 --> 1:11:19.870 up 30-plus points back-to-back games to start the year, 33 1:11:19.870 --> 1:11:22.510 versus Indianapolis, piling up over 500 yards. 1:11:24.340 --> 1:11:25.440 Kelsey on the move. 1:11:26.060 --> 1:11:26.660 Mahomes. 1:11:26.820 --> 1:11:27.780 Touchdown pass. 1:11:28.400 --> 1:11:31.230 Number two on the night to number one Xavier Worthy. 1:11:31.790 --> 1:11:35.490 Okay, the Dolphins did at least play CMC well down low. 1:11:35.729 --> 1:11:38.389 They got that going for them at least. Held McCaffrey 1:11:38.430 --> 1:11:41.630 to 23 yards on 2.3 per carry last week. 1:11:42.220 --> 1:11:45.360 Purdy turns McCaffrey to the goal line. 1:11:45.420 --> 1:11:46.059 Stopped short. 1:11:46.420 --> 1:11:50.400 But everything else stacks up as a mismatch. Gave up 1:11:50.400 --> 1:11:54.650 287 yards to Brock Purdy on a whopping 13 yards 1:11:54.750 --> 1:11:59.229 per attempt. No interceptions, two TDs allowed for a fatty 1:11:59.229 --> 1:12:01.670 149 rate allowed. He threw 22 passes, completed 20 of them. 1:12:01.729 --> 1:12:02.250 Here's Purdy. 1:12:07.060 --> 1:12:11.360 With time, to the end zone, it's Kittle! All the 1:12:11.430 --> 1:12:11.929 way back. 1:12:12.920 --> 1:12:16.700 Pass rush going to show up. Zero sacks on Purdy's passes. 1:12:16.979 --> 1:12:19.870 Gave up 35 points when the day was over. Let 1:12:19.890 --> 1:12:23.150 the Niners convert five of seven third down tries and 1:12:23.290 --> 1:12:25.210 all five of their red zone trips. 1:12:25.550 --> 1:12:29.750 On third and three. Play action. Use check. Down the sideline. 1:12:29.830 --> 1:12:32.450 Touchdown San Francisco. 1:12:32.450 --> 1:12:36.220 80 yards and a TD allowed to George Kittle. And 1:12:36.320 --> 1:12:39.920 now they get Travis. Kelsey scored with over 100 yards, 1:12:40.140 --> 1:12:42.700 showing the world the bling he ponied up for in 1:12:42.720 --> 1:12:43.480 the process. 1:12:43.660 --> 1:12:46.480 You think he's making payments on that? Lots of guys 1:12:46.500 --> 1:12:48.280 come in with full bellies. 1:12:48.310 --> 1:12:52.710 Xavier Worthy scored. Jalen Royals did, too. Walker caught six passes, too, 1:12:52.729 --> 1:12:53.110 for 61 yards. 1:13:05.160 --> 1:13:05.599 Turns. 1:13:05.860 --> 1:13:10.420 Going to pivot. Walker. Open field. Inside the 40. Walker 1:13:10.460 --> 1:13:13.150 to the 30. To the 25-yard line. 1:13:13.470 --> 1:13:16.530 Rashe Rice got it going for the tune of 83 yards. 1:13:17.550 --> 1:13:21.570 Pressure. Thrown in the middle. And complete to Rashe Rice. 1:13:22.110 --> 1:13:26.200 And Tyquan Thornton with 86 yards. Huge clutch catch. 1:13:26.540 --> 1:13:27.500 Kelsey into block. 1:13:27.540 --> 1:13:30.520 Now releases Mahomes downfield towards Thornton. 1:13:30.540 --> 1:13:32.960 Did he hold on? Yes, he did. 1:13:33.340 --> 1:13:36.900 Now, Chiefs defense has some cleanup work to do. Colts 1:13:36.939 --> 1:13:40.080 hung 30 points on him. They didn't sack Daniel Jones 1:13:40.320 --> 1:13:44.000 once on 31 pass attempts, blitzed him 40% of the time, 1:13:44.340 --> 1:13:47.160 yet only pressured him 27% of his throws. 1:13:47.600 --> 1:13:50.849 Josh Downs inside the 35-yard line, and the Colts get 1:13:50.900 --> 1:13:51.530 a first down. 1:13:51.710 --> 1:13:55.270 Now, to a Miami offense that only mustered 13 points. 1:13:55.570 --> 1:13:57.970 That DJ producer guy would rather not have his name 1:13:58.010 --> 1:14:01.700 associated to that. That's 13-point efforts in both their games 1:14:01.760 --> 1:14:02.360 so far. 1:14:02.720 --> 1:14:04.520 Pressure up the middle as they tried to set up 1:14:04.560 --> 1:14:06.240 the screen to A-Chan and nothing doing. 1:14:06.590 --> 1:14:10.210 Malik Willis, connected on a 77-yard bomb at least, walked 1:14:10.330 --> 1:14:12.270 out with a nice 103 rating. 1:14:12.610 --> 1:14:15.750 Deep shot down the sideline. It's Ryan Miller. 1:14:15.770 --> 1:14:19.429 He'll take it all the way for a Miami touchdown. 1:14:19.430 --> 1:14:24.189 77 yards on that play, 120 the rest of the game, though, 1:14:24.430 --> 1:14:27.470 and he got planted four times on 23 pass attempts. 1:14:27.550 --> 1:14:31.430 Their guards blamed for two, according to NGS. Right tackle 1:14:31.590 --> 1:14:34.750 Austin Jackson gave up a 25 percent pressure rate. That's 1:14:35.010 --> 1:14:35.970 crazy high. 1:14:35.990 --> 1:14:38.650 I mean, that's your biggest threat is 97. 1:14:38.650 --> 1:14:42.860 Malik Washington with 43 yards. Ryan Miller, the recipient of 1:14:42.900 --> 1:14:48.010 that 77 yarder. Caleb Douglas, just 19 yards. Chiefs DBs 1:14:48.050 --> 1:14:51.630 gave up 61 yards to Laquan Treadwell with help from 1:14:51.670 --> 1:14:55.340 a very particular ref sitting in a booth. I don't know, man. 1:14:55.820 --> 1:14:59.600 Also gave up 72 yards to Josh Downs. Corner LeJarius 1:14:59.640 --> 1:15:01.309 Sneed tagged with 121 yards and a TD allowed by NGS. 1:15:04.020 --> 1:15:07.290 Along the ground, Devon Achan still trying to find room 1:15:07.310 --> 1:15:10.210 to do his thing. He did at least go for 1:15:10.210 --> 1:15:10.710 74 yards. 1:15:10.950 --> 1:15:11.830 Nice jump cut. 1:15:11.870 --> 1:15:15.510 Here's a talent that they have weaving around, breaking tackles. 1:15:15.590 --> 1:15:17.980 Devon Achan with a good run. 1:15:18.240 --> 1:15:21.600 But just 3-7 to carry hasn't cracked four yet in 1:15:21.660 --> 1:15:25.160 his two games. Chiefs D he'll try to against gave 1:15:25.220 --> 1:15:28.520 up 92 yards and two touchdowns to Jonathan Taylor, but 1:15:28.600 --> 1:15:31.150 played him tougher as the game went along, held him 1:15:31.290 --> 1:15:33.550 under four yards per carry when it was all over. 1:15:33.910 --> 1:15:36.910 It's a run. Taylor tries to bounce it. Can't get 1:15:36.930 --> 1:15:37.879 away from Nick Bolton. 1:15:39.439 --> 1:15:43.380 Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home this week. Forget firing the cannons. 1:15:43.460 --> 1:15:45.940 Time to hit the panic button before things get out 1:15:45.979 --> 1:15:46.980 of hand. 1:15:46.979 --> 1:15:48.680 22 seconds left to play on fourth down. They go 1:15:48.700 --> 1:15:52.860 to the end zone. Incomplete. And that should do it 1:15:52.920 --> 1:15:53.760 for the Browns. 1:15:54.350 --> 1:15:57.420 They're hoping to get their first win against a Minnesota 1:15:57.479 --> 1:16:01.240 Vikings squad that started 2-0, equipped with a defense that 1:16:01.280 --> 1:16:03.740 would blitz Baker's wife at the grocery store. 1:16:04.060 --> 1:16:08.610 And Williams will get away momentarily, but that's all. 1:16:08.670 --> 1:16:10.189 He ultimately gets finished off. 1:16:10.630 --> 1:16:13.590 Bucks having to try and get right versus a Minnesota 1:16:13.650 --> 1:16:17.290 defense that just smothered an offense that went for 59 1:16:17.290 --> 1:16:19.800 points the week before, holding them to three. 1:16:20.300 --> 1:16:20.960 Was it wet? 1:16:21.080 --> 1:16:21.439 Sure. 1:16:21.800 --> 1:16:24.540 Football gets played in the rain, last I checked. Held 1:16:24.580 --> 1:16:28.860 the mighty Chicago offense to 5-for-15 on third down, 0-for-3 1:16:28.900 --> 1:16:32.310 in the red zone, a lowly 4.2 yards per play. 1:16:32.439 --> 1:16:34.790 Instead, they're all the way back at the 42, and 1:16:34.830 --> 1:16:38.370 Williams tackled from behind as he throws it. Eric Wilson 1:16:38.410 --> 1:16:39.090 getting home. 1:16:39.410 --> 1:16:42.790 Mayfield staring at a DB group that held Caleb Williams 1:16:42.830 --> 1:16:47.250 to 138 yards, no TDs allowed, picked him off for 1:16:47.270 --> 1:16:47.930 a mid-50s rate. 1:16:48.710 --> 1:16:52.860 Williams steps up, Williams lets it rip, and gets picked 1:16:53.000 --> 1:16:54.439 off by Byron Murphy. 1:16:54.780 --> 1:16:59.560 Baker, meantime, unable to crack 190 yards versus Cleveland, who 1:16:59.620 --> 1:17:04.150 Trevor Lawrence glided through, held to 5.4 per attempt, got 1:17:04.210 --> 1:17:06.450 picked off for a low 70s rating. 1:17:06.470 --> 1:17:08.910 Mayfield looking to throw again, throws to his left. 1:17:08.990 --> 1:17:13.450 And it's intercepted at the 48-yard line. Red, the eyes 1:17:13.490 --> 1:17:15.480 and the body of Mayfield beautifully. 1:17:15.960 --> 1:17:19.560 Buck's offense only accounted for 20 week one points, then 1:17:19.660 --> 1:17:23.100 only scratched out 19 last week, one for four in 1:17:23.120 --> 1:17:23.760 the red zone. 1:17:23.800 --> 1:17:27.099 Mayfield drops back to pass. Mayfield toward the goal line. 1:17:27.180 --> 1:17:29.530 Incompletes. It was short. 1:17:29.890 --> 1:17:32.769 And here's the big one. Baker took three sacks on 1:17:32.770 --> 1:17:36.770 34 pass attempts. Guard Ben Bredesen gave up another sack. 1:17:36.810 --> 1:17:40.670 That's two and two games for him. Mayfield faced a 42% 1:17:40.670 --> 1:17:41.809 pressure rate. 1:17:41.950 --> 1:17:44.960 Trouble's coming, and Mayfield is going down. 1:17:45.580 --> 1:17:49.540 He only faced a 30% blitz rate versus Cleveland, and here, 1:17:49.620 --> 1:17:52.550 at least so far, is the critical stat if you're 1:17:52.570 --> 1:17:55.570 a Bucs fan. He's 11 for 12 versus the Blitz 1:17:55.610 --> 1:17:59.689 so far, a 125 rating, his one TD last week 1:17:59.810 --> 1:18:00.790 against the Blitz. 1:18:00.950 --> 1:18:09.920 And Baker Mayfield again, I mean, he's... Houdini at times 1:18:09.960 --> 1:18:11.650 with the way that he's able to make plays. 1:18:11.700 --> 1:18:14.710 This week, it's not so much when will he get blitzed, 1:18:14.790 --> 1:18:18.310 but when won't he? Brian Flores would send five plus 1:18:18.390 --> 1:18:21.010 after your grandma. He doesn't care. 78% week one, 79% 1:18:21.010 --> 1:18:23.290 week two. It's an absurd rate to send extra heat. 1:18:27.800 --> 1:18:30.380 It led to four sacks of Caleb and a pressure 1:18:30.439 --> 1:18:39.860 rate close to 50. It means Minnesota's DBs have to 1:18:39.920 --> 1:18:43.330 handle their business. They did last week. Most yards they 1:18:43.370 --> 1:18:46.509 gave up was to running back DeAndre Swift. No bears 1:18:46.610 --> 1:18:49.990 wideout or tight end with 45 yards. Now they do 1:18:50.030 --> 1:18:53.880 business with Emeka Ibuka, who wobbles in off a 16-yard game. 1:18:54.280 --> 1:18:57.160 As you saw, he at least scored. Tight end Cade 1:18:57.260 --> 1:19:01.160 Otten had 38 yards versus Cleveland. Chris Godwin with 46. Well, 1:19:01.280 --> 1:19:03.380 we knew it was only going to be a matter 1:19:03.400 --> 1:19:04.259 of time before. 1:19:05.439 --> 1:19:08.600 Chris Godwin got involved into this passing game. And that time, 1:19:08.640 --> 1:19:10.620 Chris Godwin just wins with speed. 1:19:10.900 --> 1:19:13.960 And Tez Johnson hauled in a 49-yard pass to lead 1:19:14.000 --> 1:19:14.420 the way. 1:19:14.760 --> 1:19:17.680 Mayfield slipped. He still makes the throw to Johnson. He 1:19:17.740 --> 1:19:18.940 got it this time. 1:19:19.160 --> 1:19:22.500 Vikings D mixed bag versus the run week two. Did 1:19:22.540 --> 1:19:26.099 give up 47 yards on 4-7 to carry to Kyle Menungai, 1:19:26.360 --> 1:19:29.890 but held DeAndre Swift to 2-8 per carry and knocked 1:19:29.930 --> 1:19:32.120 the ball out of his hands at the goal line. 1:19:38.470 --> 1:19:41.510 Now they get Bucky Irving, who ripped off a 38-yarder 1:19:41.570 --> 1:19:45.160 versus Cleveland, went for 89 yards on 5-2 a pop 1:19:45.260 --> 1:19:52.160 as a result. You're not going to win too many 1:19:52.200 --> 1:19:56.090 games 9-3, of course. Vikings offense not able to carry 1:19:56.210 --> 1:19:58.790 over the momentum of their second half versus Green Bay. 1:19:59.160 --> 1:20:02.599 Carson Wentz only threw for 143 yards versus the Bears. 1:20:03.020 --> 1:20:06.880 Offense fewer than five yards per play. Only three for 1:20:06.880 --> 1:20:09.380 13 on third down. Only one red zone trip and 1:20:09.520 --> 1:20:15.660 clearly didn't finish that one off. They hope and expect 1:20:15.700 --> 1:20:18.590 to have Kyler Murray back for this game. He'll see 1:20:18.610 --> 1:20:20.810 what he can do for a full game versus a 1:20:20.850 --> 1:20:23.970 Tampa defense that gave up 23 points to Cleveland. That's 1:20:24.010 --> 1:20:26.189 kind of meh. They stopped him on two of their 1:20:26.229 --> 1:20:29.030 three red zone trips, held him to five for 13 1:20:29.030 --> 1:20:32.420 on third down. Murray not looking at a rattled defense, 1:20:32.479 --> 1:20:33.019 per se. 1:20:33.220 --> 1:20:35.740 Watson dancing in the pocket. He's ripped down. 1:20:36.220 --> 1:20:38.520 Sacked at the 21-yard line. 1:20:38.800 --> 1:20:41.670 But the secondary he gets, hoping to play the pass better, 1:20:41.750 --> 1:20:45.730 gave up 238 yards to Deshaun Watson on 26 of 1:20:45.729 --> 1:20:46.710 30 passing. 1:20:47.050 --> 1:20:48.629 Two TDs allowed, rate. 1:20:48.470 --> 1:20:51.300 Allowed over 120. did not come up big when the 1:20:51.340 --> 1:20:59.550 game was on the line. Murray also has to be 1:20:59.610 --> 1:21:03.050 ready for the blitz. Buccaneers sent five plus 50% of 1:21:03.090 --> 1:21:05.610 the time, but only came up with two sacks on 1:21:05.689 --> 1:21:08.450 Watson's 30 pass attempts and only pressured him 36% of 1:21:08.490 --> 1:21:13.010 the time. didn't really tilt things their way. Wentz got 1:21:13.030 --> 1:21:16.660 blitzed 50% of the time too, took three sacks. Right 1:21:16.700 --> 1:21:18.820 guard Will Fries gave up a sack and a high 1:21:18.880 --> 1:21:22.969 pressure rate according to NextGenStats. Right tackle Brian O'Neal also 1:21:23.010 --> 1:21:25.639 gave up a sack. Wentz only threw 20 times. 1:21:25.800 --> 1:21:29.440 There's a flag down, and Wentz is down as Odenbo 1:21:29.479 --> 1:21:29.940 gets him. 1:21:30.160 --> 1:21:33.340 Tampa's secondary gave up 95 yards and a TD to 1:21:33.380 --> 1:21:37.360 Denzel Boston. Now in comes Justin Jefferson, who finished with 1:21:37.360 --> 1:21:39.300 55 yards versus the Bears. 1:21:39.540 --> 1:21:42.890 Justin Jefferson makes the adjustment and the catch. 1:21:43.400 --> 1:21:45.710 He was the only Viking with more than 30 yards, 1:21:45.790 --> 1:21:50.670 TJ Hawkinson, 29, Jordan Addison, 21. Aaron Jones is the 1:21:50.750 --> 1:21:54.150 Vike with the most momentum, ran for 105 yards on 1:21:54.170 --> 1:21:55.110 4-6 per. 1:21:55.270 --> 1:21:58.090 And just great vision here by Aaron Jones. 1:21:58.130 --> 1:22:00.349 We'll see if Jordan Mason is healthy enough to go 1:22:00.410 --> 1:22:03.660 this week. Tampa did not have trouble with Cleveland's backs, 1:22:03.740 --> 1:22:06.360 held Quinshawn Judkins to 1-8 a carry. 1:22:06.520 --> 1:22:08.379 They're playing to the strength of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1:22:08.439 --> 1:22:08.800 right there. 1:22:10.420 --> 1:22:13.550 Houdat's turn to hit the strip, and be wary, Vegas. 1:22:13.660 --> 1:22:16.470 These dudes are the kind that don't bluff. They keep 1:22:16.510 --> 1:22:19.250 going all in with their chips when it matters most. 1:22:19.590 --> 1:22:25.380 Tyler Shuck brought the Saints back. 71,000 erupts in displeasure. 1:22:25.580 --> 1:22:27.500 Look, I get the Baltimore point of view, but I 1:22:27.520 --> 1:22:30.439 get the NOLA side, too. Saints would have deserved four 1:22:30.479 --> 1:22:33.650 more chances if the first mistake isn't made. So on 1:22:33.689 --> 1:22:38.170 they march to take on, get this, the 2-0 Raiders, 1:22:38.510 --> 1:22:41.540 whose fan base is on tilt right now, a shot 1:22:41.580 --> 1:22:44.639 at a 3-0 start, which they haven't pulled since Chucky's 1:22:44.720 --> 1:22:45.420 second tour. 1:22:45.439 --> 1:22:49.059 And the party is on in SoFi for the Raider fans. 1:22:49.790 --> 1:22:52.590 Maybe beating Miami was kind of expected, but taking out 1:22:52.630 --> 1:22:56.190 the Chargers by 12 has everybody's attention, and they did 1:22:56.229 --> 1:22:59.830 it without Brock Bowers, and he's back this week. Even 1:22:59.870 --> 1:23:04.240 without him, Kirko Chains grooves in off a 250-plus yard, 1:23:04.240 --> 1:23:08.920 3 TD game over 8.5 yards per attempt, a 110-plus rate. 1:23:09.260 --> 1:23:12.219 He's put up back-to-back 3 TD games to start. 1:23:12.700 --> 1:23:16.020 Cousins to the end zone, wide open, touchdown! 1:23:16.650 --> 1:23:20.710 Raiders' offense was abysmal in 2025. So starting off 2026 1:23:20.710 --> 1:23:24.750 with 27 points and then 24 is huge. 1:23:25.290 --> 1:23:25.750 Wow. 1:23:25.890 --> 1:23:29.979 Kirk Cousins got hit hard, but a 42 yard pickup. 1:23:30.439 --> 1:23:33.059 Four for 14 on third down. So they have some 1:23:33.120 --> 1:23:36.140 work to do still. Chargers D is supposed to be tough. 1:23:36.439 --> 1:23:40.410 Saints defense represents another good test then. because they just 1:23:40.470 --> 1:23:44.750 got done holding the Lamar King Ravens offense to 17 points, 1:23:45.070 --> 1:23:53.540 only let them cross the 20 twice. Cousins mixing it 1:23:53.600 --> 1:23:56.519 up with a secondary that stopped Jackson when it mattered most, 1:23:56.800 --> 1:23:59.780 gave up a TD in 235 yards, but came up 1:23:59.820 --> 1:24:02.360 with a big pick when the game was on the line. 1:24:02.760 --> 1:24:06.389 Jackson's pass picked off and the Saints turn out the 1:24:06.470 --> 1:24:07.710 lights on the Ravens. 1:24:08.090 --> 1:24:10.370 They didn't have to deal with Zay Flowers, gave up 1:24:10.370 --> 1:24:14.090 88 yards in the TD to Rashad Bateman. Cornerback Kool-Aid 1:24:14.130 --> 1:24:17.330 McKinstry gave up the touchdown in 58 of those yards 1:24:17.370 --> 1:24:20.850 according to NextGenStats. Vegas only had one pass catcher finish 1:24:20.890 --> 1:24:23.930 with more than 30 yards versus L.A., Trey Tucker, who 1:24:23.950 --> 1:24:25.269 went for 119 and a TD. 1:24:25.310 --> 1:24:30.640 He's going to take a shot. Touchdown! Cousins to Tucker! 1:24:30.979 --> 1:24:34.599 But how about tight end Cody White, scored twice, just 1:24:34.600 --> 1:24:35.280 24 yards. 1:24:35.640 --> 1:24:40.890 Cousins throwing end zone, and it is caught by Cody White! 1:24:41.450 --> 1:24:44.210 Cousins took a couple of sacks on 29 pass attempts. 1:24:44.290 --> 1:24:47.410 They can live with that ratio. Right tackle DJ Glaze 1:24:47.510 --> 1:24:49.750 tagged with one and a half sacks allowed a week ago. 1:24:49.770 --> 1:24:51.210 Saints pass rush bagged up Lamar three times, blitzed him 1:24:51.229 --> 1:24:52.590 over 40% of the time, pressured him over 40% of 1:24:52.610 --> 1:24:53.130 his throws. 1:24:53.150 --> 1:24:54.480 Chase Young, one and a half sacks. 1:25:04.350 --> 1:25:06.630 He is now living up to his draft pick. He 1:25:06.790 --> 1:25:07.769 is a beast. 1:25:08.090 --> 1:25:11.970 Play action from Jackson. Here they come. Chase Young buries him. 1:25:12.430 --> 1:25:15.090 Along the ground, they gave up a TD to Derrick Henry. 1:25:15.090 --> 1:25:19.370 68 yards on 4-3 a run. 34 yards to Jackson 1:25:19.430 --> 1:25:21.610 on four runs. If you had told them ahead of 1:25:21.630 --> 1:25:24.429 the game they could hold those two to 102 yards, 1:25:24.689 --> 1:25:26.570 I think they would have happily accepted it. 1:25:26.890 --> 1:25:29.770 Funky little formation here on second down. New Orleans front 1:25:29.850 --> 1:25:30.430 not fooled. 1:25:30.979 --> 1:25:34.180 Ashton Gentee up next comes in off a dud, held 1:25:34.240 --> 1:25:36.799 to 48 yards on just 2.3 per carry. 1:25:36.979 --> 1:25:37.620 Right in the middle of. 1:25:37.600 --> 1:25:40.639 Your screen, kind of swims somebody and gets Gentee back 1:25:40.680 --> 1:25:42.019 behind the line of scrimmage there. 1:25:42.500 --> 1:25:45.500 As excited as the black hole is about their offense, 1:25:45.740 --> 1:25:49.650 they're equally jacked over their defensive play, created a safety, 1:25:49.750 --> 1:25:50.889 held L.A. to 14 points, 5 for 14 on 3rd down. 1:25:53.370 --> 1:25:57.559 have held both their opponents under 15 points. Again, huge 1:25:57.640 --> 1:25:59.219 improvement year over year. 1:25:59.520 --> 1:26:01.240 There is a flag down in the end zone. 1:26:01.280 --> 1:26:03.820 Max Crosby is saying he was held, and this should 1:26:03.840 --> 1:26:04.780 be a safety. 1:26:04.800 --> 1:26:09.129 The secondary, Tyler Shuck, takes on, picked off Justin Herbert twice. 1:26:09.430 --> 1:26:12.970 Hezekiah masses with both. held him under 200 yards. 1:26:13.210 --> 1:26:17.410 Herbert with time, fires, picked off! Masses, does it again! 1:26:18.100 --> 1:26:21.759 Shuck's confidence is getting stronger by the week though, 250 1:26:21.760 --> 1:26:24.420 plus yards for the second week in a row. TD, 1:26:24.600 --> 1:26:27.320 no picks last week, drove them down to win it, 1:26:27.380 --> 1:26:29.259 making several clutch throws. 1:26:29.620 --> 1:26:31.740 On a second and four. There it is. Shucks pass. 1:26:31.979 --> 1:26:32.780 Olave. 1:26:32.810 --> 1:26:34.710 And here comes New Orleans. 1:26:34.950 --> 1:26:38.490 Saints offense has put up 24-plus in each game. 24 1:26:38.490 --> 1:26:41.970 versus Baltimore. Eight for 15 on third down. No turnovers. 1:26:42.290 --> 1:26:46.530 Shuck on third and six. Ravens bring five completion. First down. 1:26:47.150 --> 1:26:50.840 Now, 4.7 yards per play. That needs freshening up. Their 1:26:50.900 --> 1:26:54.640 rush attack, pretty bad versus Baltimore. As Travis Achan only 1:26:54.700 --> 1:26:58.000 ran eight times for 25 yards, Alvin Kamara made his 1:26:58.000 --> 1:27:02.490 2026 debut, didn't matter. Team finished with just 65 yards 1:27:02.570 --> 1:27:03.150 on the ground. 1:27:03.350 --> 1:27:04.070 There's a fumble. 1:27:04.090 --> 1:27:06.890 Achan just falls on the football. They're going to lose 1:27:06.970 --> 1:27:07.650 heavy yardage. 1:27:07.990 --> 1:27:11.800 Their line also let Shuck get planted three times. NGS 1:27:11.860 --> 1:27:15.630 blamed right tackle Talisi Fuaga for two. and they lost 1:27:15.670 --> 1:27:18.250 their starting left tackle, Kelvin Banks, to an injury. 1:27:18.270 --> 1:27:22.210 A couple of fakes, pocket muddies, Chuck Secht coming with 1:27:22.229 --> 1:27:23.430 some serious heat. 1:27:23.610 --> 1:27:26.600 Here comes Mad Max and company, though Crosby didn't get 1:27:26.640 --> 1:27:29.780 the quarterback last week. Malcolm Kuntz did, though, one and 1:27:29.800 --> 1:27:32.920 a half times. Vegas nabbed Herbert three times, and how 1:27:32.939 --> 1:27:37.680 about a 54.8 pressure rate while only blitzing 32% of 1:27:37.700 --> 1:27:38.200 the time? 1:27:38.580 --> 1:27:40.979 Herbert is brought down, and Herbert. 1:27:41.930 --> 1:27:42.870 Ran out of time. 1:27:43.110 --> 1:27:45.870 When the ball is in the air, Shuck loves him 1:27:45.930 --> 1:27:49.400 some Olave. Chris, with 86 yards and a TD, went 1:27:49.439 --> 1:27:54.880 for 182 week one. Their chemistry looking Jesse Pinkman, Walter White-esque. 1:27:55.180 --> 1:27:57.980 Shuck on a third and five. It's caught. Boy, just 1:27:58.040 --> 1:28:00.389 when they needed a big play, it's Olave. 1:28:00.810 --> 1:28:03.170 Not that kind of chemistry, obviously. Don't need to call 1:28:03.210 --> 1:28:06.850 the cops on them. Shuck to Juwan Johnson also keeps clicking. 1:28:06.950 --> 1:28:09.090 He connected with him for 66 yards. 1:28:09.229 --> 1:28:13.229 Johnson on the underneath. Johnson, he's got a first down! 1:28:13.410 --> 1:28:16.939 And Devon Vele, 64 yards. All three of those pass 1:28:16.979 --> 1:28:19.099 catchers with good starts to their seasons. 1:28:19.439 --> 1:28:21.960 Boy, every time they needed a big play last week, 1:28:22.040 --> 1:28:23.540 it seemed like it was Vele. 1:28:23.920 --> 1:28:27.340 Raiders defenders gave up a 53-yard pass to Trey Harris, 1:28:27.660 --> 1:28:31.420 held all their other guys under 40 yards. Against the run... 1:28:31.220 --> 1:28:34.719 4.1 a carry to a Marion Hampton that touched down 1:28:34.720 --> 1:28:38.120 94 yards, but also stole the ball from him once, too. 1:28:38.439 --> 1:28:41.220 Hampton up the middle, he lost the football! Right to 1:28:41.280 --> 1:28:42.340 Jeremy Chin! 1:28:44.150 --> 1:28:47.710 Washington at home week three, feeling the same way Tom 1:28:47.750 --> 1:28:50.610 Brady did calling their game, which is to say they 1:28:50.670 --> 1:28:52.590 felt like Ralphie in Christmas Story. 1:28:53.600 --> 1:28:55.480 Oh, fudge. 1:28:55.700 --> 1:28:58.800 Daniels falls in trouble, just kind of throws it out there, 1:28:58.840 --> 1:28:59.880 and it's incomplete! 1:29:00.840 --> 1:29:01.430 Oh, s * * *. 1:29:01.920 --> 1:29:05.010 Tom spent all Sunday night with Lifebuoy soap in his mouth, 1:29:05.070 --> 1:29:09.530 don't worry. Commanders going forth without JD5 again, and having 1:29:09.570 --> 1:29:12.390 to do so against the reigning champs, who despite a 1:29:12.410 --> 1:29:15.900 couple of personnel changes... sure look exactly like they did 1:29:15.960 --> 1:29:16.880 when they won it all. 1:29:16.900 --> 1:29:20.100 Stifling D, two guys to tote the rock, loads of JSN. 1:29:27.160 --> 1:29:31.160 Wasn't that the formula in 2025? Sure, maybe Sam Darnold 1:29:31.220 --> 1:29:33.780 comes back, but if he doesn't, does it matter? The 1:29:33.820 --> 1:29:37.429 way Drew Locke is playing, every QB who's washed out 1:29:37.590 --> 1:29:39.950 elsewhere is going to beg to sign in Seattle. 139 1:29:39.950 --> 1:29:41.900 rate versus Arizona, 235 yards on nine per attempt, three TDs, 1:29:41.910 --> 1:29:49.700 no picks. Sam's like, hey, butt feels fine, man. Let 1:29:49.720 --> 1:29:51.880 me get back out there before this gets out of hand. 1:29:52.100 --> 1:29:54.139 Is Drew Locke playing with confidence right now? 1:29:54.160 --> 1:29:57.370 Does Drew Locke look like a starting quarterback right now? 1:29:57.689 --> 1:29:58.750 Darn right he does. 1:29:59.189 --> 1:30:01.830 Locke is no dummy. All three of his TD passes 1:30:01.910 --> 1:30:05.220 went to Jackson, Smith, and Jigba. Only Seahawk with more 1:30:05.229 --> 1:30:07.340 than 40 yards for the second week in a row, 1:30:07.340 --> 1:30:12.790 155 yards last week. So, C-Note plus change second week 1:30:12.810 --> 1:30:13.290 in a row. 1:30:13.530 --> 1:30:17.310 Jackson, Smith, and Jigma will take it down the sideline, 1:30:17.370 --> 1:30:19.350 and that is a Seahawk touchdown. 1:30:19.670 --> 1:30:24.830 Rashid Shaheed, 35 yards. Cooper Cupp, 20. A.J. Barner, 8. 1:30:24.830 --> 1:30:28.259 Didn't matter. Didn't need him. as Seattle hung 31 points 1:30:28.320 --> 1:30:31.840 on the Cardinals. Nice bump after they only managed 13 1:30:31.840 --> 1:30:32.400 week one. 1:30:32.420 --> 1:30:33.840 Well, the end zone lock. 1:30:33.880 --> 1:30:36.120 It's another touchdown. He's got three today. 1:30:36.400 --> 1:30:39.110 Now they try and keep it humming versus a Washington 1:30:39.150 --> 1:30:42.330 defense that gave up 37 points to Dallas last week. 1:30:42.630 --> 1:30:45.330 Let them convert seven of 11 third downs and three 1:30:45.370 --> 1:30:46.570 of four red zone trips. 1:30:47.060 --> 1:30:50.519 Throw, CeeDee Lamb, touchdown Dallas. 1:30:51.280 --> 1:30:55.360 JSN eyeing a secondary that gave up 153 yards and 1:30:55.439 --> 1:30:59.980 two TDs to CeeDee Lamb, Washington's DBs trying to rebound 1:31:00.060 --> 1:31:03.750 after giving up 279 yards and four touchdowns to Dak 1:31:03.810 --> 1:31:09.129 Prescott on 26 of 31 passing. A 143 rate allowed, 1:31:09.370 --> 1:31:13.050 safety Jeremy Reeves tagged with a touchdown allowed by NextGenStats 1:31:13.390 --> 1:31:24.020 corner Mike Sanristill giving up two. Lock threw 26 times, 1:31:24.140 --> 1:31:27.480 only took one sack, faced pressure less than 30% of 1:31:27.500 --> 1:31:30.880 the time, didn't face a lot of blitzing. Washington, on 1:31:30.920 --> 1:31:34.090 the other hand, sent five plus over 40% of the time, 1:31:34.450 --> 1:31:38.000 pressured Dak over 40%, got to him twice, Caleb on 1:31:38.040 --> 1:31:40.560 chase on, and Javon Kinlaw the sack man. 1:31:40.590 --> 1:31:44.370 Play action pass, pressure though on Prescott. He is sacked! 1:31:44.729 --> 1:31:45.950 Javon Kinlaw. 1:31:46.170 --> 1:31:48.750 Commander's front does at least hit week three off a 1:31:48.770 --> 1:31:52.210 good showing versus the run, held Javonte Williams to 2-5 1:31:52.270 --> 1:31:53.810 a carry, only 30 yards. 1:31:54.330 --> 1:31:57.270 Here's the run, but hit right away as Williams breaks free, 1:31:57.310 --> 1:31:58.250 but swarmed. 1:31:58.750 --> 1:32:02.890 They get Emmanuel Wilson and hopefully Jadarian Price next. He 1:32:02.950 --> 1:32:06.520 suffered an injury. Before that, he chipped in 52 rush yards. 1:32:06.780 --> 1:32:09.969 Pitch to Price, and he's got room. And a hard hit, 1:32:10.010 --> 1:32:12.230 but he keeps going. Price lowering that shoulder. 1:32:12.270 --> 1:32:13.049 That's the boom. 1:32:13.290 --> 1:32:16.610 Wilson went for 92 yards on 4-4 a pop, his 1:32:16.750 --> 1:32:18.590 best game as a Hawk so far. 1:32:18.810 --> 1:32:21.990 It's Emmanuel Wilson bouncing outside. He'll get a first down. 1:32:22.010 --> 1:32:22.990 He'll get more than that. 1:32:23.430 --> 1:32:26.390 Now to the dark side. Hasn't let much light in 1:32:26.510 --> 1:32:29.130 two games to start the year. Held New England to 1:32:29.130 --> 1:32:32.780 10 points, then followed it by keeping Arizona to 7. 1:32:32.780 --> 1:32:36.080 Three for 12 on third down, and check this out. 1:32:36.080 --> 1:32:42.560 151 total yards, 3.2 yards per play. Those are absurd figures. 1:32:42.740 --> 1:32:47.349 Third down, Brissette knocked away at almost intercepted. 1:32:47.530 --> 1:32:51.070 Marcus Mariota gets a secondary that got Nickham and Worry back, 1:32:51.450 --> 1:32:54.790 staring at a Hawks DB group that followed their 3-INT 1:32:54.830 --> 1:32:58.790 game versus Drake May by holding Jacoby Brissette to 95 1:32:58.790 --> 1:33:02.110 yards on 3-4 per attempt. Picked him off. Are they 1:33:02.270 --> 1:33:03.820 even darker than last year? 1:33:03.840 --> 1:33:07.620 For pressure, percentage floating one. And nobody there except a 1:33:07.720 --> 1:33:08.680 Seahawk defender. 1:33:08.880 --> 1:33:12.280 The Mariota Daniels commander's offense only came up with 20 1:33:12.280 --> 1:33:15.439 points versus Dallas. Haven't hit 24 yet this season. 1:33:15.460 --> 1:33:18.650 Mariota now back to pass. Oh, look out. Barham with 1:33:18.689 --> 1:33:20.110 a big hit. Ball is loose. 1:33:20.530 --> 1:33:24.729 Apparently Madagascar Marty is a Cowboys fan. Or maybe Zebras 1:33:24.770 --> 1:33:27.920 can't see TV screens the same way dogs can't? I 1:33:27.939 --> 1:33:29.639 don't know how else to explain it though. 1:33:29.800 --> 1:33:30.070 But on we go. 1:33:30.080 --> 1:33:32.340 Mariota did play well off the bench, throwing for a 1:33:32.360 --> 1:33:34.620 touchdown without being picked off. 1:33:34.620 --> 1:33:35.140 11 for 16 for a plus 100 rate. 1:33:50.360 --> 1:33:54.660 He wasn't sacked, and neither was Daniels. On 35 pass attempts, too, 1:33:55.000 --> 1:33:57.500 would be a feat to pull that off versus Seattle's front. 1:33:57.540 --> 1:34:00.960 They don't blitz much, still pressured Brissett over 40% of 1:34:01.000 --> 1:34:04.300 his throws. Jaron Reed, Leonard Williams made it home to 1:34:04.340 --> 1:34:07.260 see mom last week. Big Cat hoping to visit three 1:34:07.340 --> 1:34:10.100 straight weeks after starting his year with a sack in 1:34:10.150 --> 1:34:10.700 each game. 1:34:10.939 --> 1:34:15.510 The Seattle defense on third down. Brissette, and he'll go down. 1:34:15.689 --> 1:34:18.370 Hawks secondary gave up a TD and 41 yards to 1:34:18.410 --> 1:34:22.110 Trey McBride. Nobody else hit 20 yards against them. Now 1:34:22.150 --> 1:34:25.640 they get in the rectangle with Antonio Williams, 24 yards 1:34:25.689 --> 1:34:30.440 versus Dallas. Stephon Diggs, 47 yards, both the touchdowns. he's 1:34:30.500 --> 1:34:31.879 scored in both their games. 1:34:32.060 --> 1:34:33.890 They will throw it here, and they'll throw it on 1:34:34.010 --> 1:34:36.210 in for the touchdown, Stephon Diggs. 1:34:36.870 --> 1:34:39.809 And Terry McLaurin, who led them with 50 yards, could 1:34:39.830 --> 1:34:41.849 have had more save an off-target throw. 1:34:42.030 --> 1:34:44.920 That's McLaurin who breaks the tackle. Terry McLaurin with a 1:34:45.020 --> 1:34:46.160 great move. 1:34:46.960 --> 1:34:51.140 Rashad White, with 40 receiving yards, ran for 43-2 on 1:34:51.180 --> 1:34:52.500 a nice 6-1 run. 1:34:52.680 --> 1:34:55.950 White again, get a big hole for Rashad White, who 1:34:56.010 --> 1:34:58.310 burst his way inside the 15. 1:34:58.310 --> 1:35:02.130 Jacory Kroski-Merritt chipped in 43 yards last week, held to 1:35:02.150 --> 1:35:06.910 3-6 a carry though. Okay, now this matchup feels more 1:35:06.950 --> 1:35:09.410 like we expected. Seems the right fit for the Sunday 1:35:09.470 --> 1:35:10.380 night football game. 1:35:10.610 --> 1:35:10.799 L.A. 1:35:10.880 --> 1:35:14.200 Rams coming off their first win, armed with 99 on 1:35:14.280 --> 1:35:16.880 defense and an offense that's more in sync. 1:35:17.180 --> 1:35:21.439 Backpedaling, what a catch! Touchdown, Devontae Adams! 1:35:21.970 --> 1:35:25.010 Taking on a Denver Broncos squad that's also coming off 1:35:25.050 --> 1:35:27.670 a dub and whose defense is back to looking like 1:35:27.710 --> 1:35:30.530 the brick wall we were expecting them to look like. 1:35:31.070 --> 1:35:35.920 Launches, incomplete, and Denver's defense has held. 1:35:36.340 --> 1:35:40.260 Orange's defense back to crushing week two, an early statement 1:35:40.300 --> 1:35:43.300 that they are indeed that D, if you will, against 1:35:43.380 --> 1:35:45.920 a Jags team that had cruised to bushels of points 1:35:45.979 --> 1:35:49.519 the week before, holding Jacksonville to 13 points, held them 1:35:49.540 --> 1:35:52.229 to fewer than five yards per play, and just five 1:35:52.250 --> 1:35:53.650 for 12 on third down. 1:35:53.850 --> 1:35:56.269 Lawrence is going to keep it himself. Lawrence trying to 1:35:56.310 --> 1:35:57.430 get to the outside, and. 1:35:57.390 --> 1:35:58.050 He's cut down. 1:35:58.610 --> 1:36:02.490 Matthew Stafford, drawing a secondary that just faced Trevor Lawrence, 1:36:02.729 --> 1:36:05.990 who had thrown four Week 1 touchdowns, held him without 1:36:06.150 --> 1:36:08.910 any while picking him off, kept him to fewer than 1:36:08.910 --> 1:36:09.910 200 yards. 1:36:10.150 --> 1:36:15.300 Lawrence slings it, intercepted! Riley Moss steps in front of Washington. 1:36:15.860 --> 1:36:18.460 Now they square off with Stafford, who hits Week 3 1:36:18.460 --> 1:36:22.520 feeling spry. Didn't have Pukanakua? No problem. 327 yards, four TDs. 1:36:22.520 --> 1:36:28.540 10 and a half yards per attempt a 130 plus rate. 1:36:28.660 --> 1:36:33.140 Good protection Stafford end zone Kyron Williams touchdown and they're 1:36:33.160 --> 1:36:35.140 starting to look like the Rams again. 1:36:35.180 --> 1:36:38.800 In turn LA's offense rumbles east off a 28 point 1:36:38.860 --> 1:36:42.500 night a gaudy eight yards per play perfect three for 1:36:42.540 --> 1:36:44.900 three in the red zone point being we have a 1:36:44.960 --> 1:36:46.679 hot d getting in the ring with. 1:36:46.580 --> 1:36:49.820 A hot o doing a great job and Matthew Stafford 1:36:49.840 --> 1:36:51.880 just puts that in a perfect spot. 1:36:52.100 --> 1:36:57.300 Stafford threw 31 times, only sacked once. He faced pressure 15% 1:36:57.300 --> 1:36:59.820 of his attempts. That's about as low as it gets. 1:37:00.150 --> 1:37:02.980 Good pass protection and the coverage broke down. That is 1:37:03.020 --> 1:37:04.910 good for 64 yards. 1:37:05.330 --> 1:37:08.170 Denver's pass rush, of course, key to their good defensive 1:37:08.210 --> 1:37:12.190 showing typically. They put Lawrence down twice on 29 pass attempts, 1:37:12.470 --> 1:37:15.590 but just as importantly, pressured him 45% of the time. 1:37:16.800 --> 1:37:19.510 and weren't blitz crazy like they can be sometimes. 1:37:19.930 --> 1:37:23.950 Lawrence, pocket, collapsing, and he's brought down. 1:37:24.689 --> 1:37:27.950 Broncos gave up 98 yards to Parker Washington, the only 1:37:28.030 --> 1:37:31.040 Jag to give them any kind of trouble. If Nakua plays, 1:37:31.080 --> 1:37:35.600 they face double trouble, because Devontae Adams reminded everybody he's 1:37:35.720 --> 1:37:38.420 just as much a one... as he's always been if 1:37:38.720 --> 1:37:42.939 he gets all the looks. Two touchdowns, 195 yards on 1:37:43.080 --> 1:37:46.160 eight catches. They always cut away to Taylor for Travis. 1:37:46.270 --> 1:37:49.430 I think Tay's Taco Bell worker should get equal face 1:37:49.470 --> 1:37:50.669 time after he scores. 1:37:50.950 --> 1:37:54.850 Adams. He's got it! Touchdown Rams! 1:37:55.760 --> 1:37:58.179 Only other Ram with more than 20 yards week two, 1:37:58.460 --> 1:38:02.280 tight end Terrence Ferguson, who also scored, finished with 54 1:38:02.280 --> 1:38:02.979 yards too. 1:38:03.420 --> 1:38:06.910 Stafford finds his man, touchdown Ferguson. 1:38:07.330 --> 1:38:10.330 And then there's their rush attack. That duo of theirs 1:38:10.689 --> 1:38:14.570 also enters this one feeling themselves. Each guy with 12 runs, 1:38:14.689 --> 1:38:18.230 Kyron Williams hit at 7-1 a carry, 85 yards. 1:38:18.570 --> 1:38:22.790 And this Rams offense can gobble up yards in bunches. 1:38:23.439 --> 1:38:26.720 Blake Corum went for 79 yards on 6'6 per. 1:38:27.160 --> 1:38:31.130 Get the blitz, and they hand to Corum. First down Rams. 1:38:31.530 --> 1:38:33.720 Those two get a front. They gave up a touchdown 1:38:33.760 --> 1:38:37.320 in 65 yards to Bashawl Tootin. Five a carry. So 1:38:37.360 --> 1:38:40.220 it's the one semi-blind spot that defense is looking to 1:38:40.280 --> 1:38:41.220 shore up this week. 1:38:41.540 --> 1:38:45.139 Toss to Tootin. Tootin slicing to the outside. He's got 1:38:45.200 --> 1:38:45.880 a first down. 1:38:46.200 --> 1:38:49.150 Denver's defense not the only one that struts in either. 1:38:49.290 --> 1:38:50.070 Of course, L.A. 1:38:50.070 --> 1:38:52.910 's ended up facing a backup quarterback most of last week, 1:38:52.990 --> 1:38:55.450 but they took care of the business at hand with 1:38:55.630 --> 1:38:58.479 Aaron Donald back on the field, held New York to 1:38:58.570 --> 1:39:01.460 two field goals, three for 14 on third down, a 1:39:01.560 --> 1:39:05.320 paltry 3.3 yards per play, and 0 for 2 in 1:39:05.340 --> 1:39:05.939 the red zone. 1:39:06.120 --> 1:39:08.060 Chris Shula's going to be a little bit more aggressive 1:39:08.100 --> 1:39:10.050 this year. You see the press on the outside. 1:39:10.360 --> 1:39:13.290 Didn't allow Jameis to be famous in the aftermath, picked 1:39:13.350 --> 1:39:17.410 Winston off, just 4.1 yards per attempt, a sub-40 rate, 1:39:17.729 --> 1:39:19.370 just 111 yards. 1:39:19.650 --> 1:39:24.530 Winston is going to be picked easily, intercepted by McDuffie. 1:39:24.970 --> 1:39:27.290 Now they get Bo Nix. He comes off a much 1:39:27.370 --> 1:39:30.050 better showing compared to week one, did leave with an 1:39:30.150 --> 1:39:35.269 INT again, but 288 yards, lots of chunk passes, 9.3 1:39:35.270 --> 1:39:36.309 yards per attempt. 1:39:36.470 --> 1:39:41.200 Nix on the move, wide open, touchdown, the Broncos with 1:39:41.280 --> 1:39:42.299 a big answer. 1:39:42.890 --> 1:39:46.570 Offense overall, though, still needs work. Left lots of points 1:39:46.610 --> 1:39:49.230 on the board, going 2-for-5 in the red zone, only 1:39:49.250 --> 1:39:52.610 4-for-11 on third down, they haven't put up 21 points 1:39:52.650 --> 1:39:53.350 in a game yet. 1:39:53.520 --> 1:39:57.800 Dials it up, and it's intercepted! The Broncos turn it over! 1:39:58.160 --> 1:40:00.960 Wasn't an O-line issue when it came to the passing game. 1:40:01.300 --> 1:40:04.740 Nix wasn't sacked once on 31 pass attempts, and also 1:40:04.840 --> 1:40:07.710 faced pressure less than 20% of the time, and he 1:40:07.750 --> 1:40:10.309 was blitzed 45% of his throws. 1:40:10.650 --> 1:40:15.150 Fake the handoff, Nix through the air. extending for it, incomplete. 1:40:15.530 --> 1:40:17.710 LA's pass rush may have only come up with two 1:40:17.770 --> 1:40:21.570 sacks on 32 Giants pass attempts, but they applied pressure 1:40:21.630 --> 1:40:25.280 at a fat 58% of the time, Byron Young picking 1:40:25.320 --> 1:40:27.850 up his first bag of 2026. 1:40:27.850 --> 1:40:31.750 Winston steps through, but caught from behind and brought down. 1:40:31.770 --> 1:40:34.650 And that's Byron Young, who has been all over Winston. 1:40:35.020 --> 1:40:38.320 Rams DBs gave up 48 yards to Darnell Mooney, held 1:40:38.439 --> 1:40:41.380 everybody else to fewer than 35 yards, only gave up 1:40:41.600 --> 1:40:44.620 one yard to Malik Neighbors. Only one Bronco with more 1:40:44.660 --> 1:40:50.240 than 32 yards last week. Evan Ingram, 17. Cortland Sutton, 25. 1:40:50.240 --> 1:40:54.200 Troy Franklin, 27. Nate Adkins caught the touchdown, 32 yards. 1:40:55.540 --> 1:40:58.600 Jalen Waddell, the big week two earner, didn't get to 1:40:58.700 --> 1:41:02.540 Waddell but 138 yards to make his mark as a Bronco. 1:41:02.800 --> 1:41:03.760 Deep shot. 1:41:03.920 --> 1:41:06.660 Jalen Waddell's got it. Down to the one. 1:41:07.090 --> 1:41:10.509 Denver's rush attack. Still looking to find some traction. Jonah 1:41:10.530 --> 1:41:11.430 Coleman scored. 1:41:11.689 --> 1:41:12.179 Hand it to him. 1:41:12.430 --> 1:41:16.229 Coleman takes it in for the touchdown. The rookie. 1:41:16.770 --> 1:41:19.089 But only 3-9 a carry on 10 attempts. 1:41:19.250 --> 1:41:19.630 J.K. 1:41:19.689 --> 1:41:23.670 Dobbins 36 yards on 3-6 a try. They were without R.J. 1:41:23.750 --> 1:41:24.090 Harvey. 1:41:24.470 --> 1:41:27.470 Rams held Cam Scadaboo to three a carry in their win, 1:41:27.729 --> 1:41:31.330 the Giants to just 52 yards on 2.5 per attempt. 1:41:31.650 --> 1:41:34.580 Now on second down, Scadaboo gets one. 1:41:36.380 --> 1:41:38.760 No team's fan base had a bigger case of the 1:41:38.840 --> 1:41:42.560 moon days than Chicago's last week. Did get to exhale 1:41:42.600 --> 1:41:45.140 a little in the aftermath, but bears having to try 1:41:45.160 --> 1:41:48.139 and rebound from the highest of highs to the lowest 1:41:48.180 --> 1:41:49.580 of lows in seven days. 1:41:50.060 --> 1:41:53.690 Here we go, last breath for Chicago, and Dallas Turner 1:41:54.090 --> 1:41:55.790 finishes the job. 1:41:56.370 --> 1:41:59.730 They are at home again, taking on Philadelphia. The Eagles, 1:41:59.910 --> 1:42:02.010 able to pull out their late game, come back to 1:42:02.050 --> 1:42:03.570 stay perfect at 2-0. 1:42:04.090 --> 1:42:07.030 And Ward just slings it to nobody in particular. It 1:42:07.070 --> 1:42:09.430 was deflected, and the game is over. 1:42:10.000 --> 1:42:12.980 Philly just barely avoiding a major upset, so on they 1:42:13.040 --> 1:42:16.799 march looking for a 3-0 start to 2026. Jalen Hurts 1:42:16.880 --> 1:42:19.620 hits week three off a 2-I-N-T game, but when he 1:42:19.700 --> 1:42:22.340 had to turn it on, he did. Threw his second 1:42:22.380 --> 1:42:26.000 touchdown of the game late, went for over 260 yards. 1:42:26.479 --> 1:42:29.389 Roll into the right, floats it back of the end zone. 1:42:29.590 --> 1:42:30.670 It is caught! 1:42:31.420 --> 1:42:34.920 Philadelphia's offense good for 24 points in each game so far, 1:42:35.260 --> 1:42:38.240 right at that respectable line. Three for four in the 1:42:38.300 --> 1:42:41.890 red zone, converted 11 of 18 third down tries last week, 1:42:42.170 --> 1:42:45.269 have converted more than half those across two games. 1:42:45.790 --> 1:42:49.030 Hurts floats one. Oh, pass to Sticks and a perfect pass. 1:42:49.070 --> 1:42:51.730 You know, this is where this Philadelphia offense can go 1:42:51.770 --> 1:42:52.530 to another level. 1:42:52.850 --> 1:42:55.220 They would like to see more pop from their offense 1:42:55.280 --> 1:42:58.960 this week, though. Only 4.7 yards per play versus Tennessee. 1:42:59.439 --> 1:43:03.059 Chicago seemingly needs their defense to show up again like 1:43:03.120 --> 1:43:06.559 it did last week. Held Minnesota to 4-8 per play. 1:43:06.860 --> 1:43:10.729 No touchdowns, just nine points. Three for 13 on third down. 1:43:11.050 --> 1:43:13.470 Only let Minnesota inside the 20 once. It was a. 1:43:13.930 --> 1:43:17.450 Marked improvement over their week one play versus Carolina. 1:43:17.490 --> 1:43:18.550 Did the rain help? 1:43:24.070 --> 1:43:27.640 Facing a backup quarterback in Carson Wentz, whatever. They held 1:43:27.680 --> 1:43:30.430 him to 143 yards, a sub-80 rating. 1:43:30.430 --> 1:43:33.800 21, Wentz quickly juggled it incomplete. 1:43:34.110 --> 1:43:37.269 Their defensive play and play versus the pass was enough 1:43:37.330 --> 1:43:39.770 to win most games, so if they can stay that 1:43:39.850 --> 1:43:42.440 tough versus Hurts, it would give them a chance. The 1:43:42.520 --> 1:43:45.639 pass-rush battle will be key to that. They dropped Wentz 1:43:45.740 --> 1:43:49.620 three times, Dayo Odingbo and Austin Booker with a bag each. 1:43:49.920 --> 1:43:50.360 They sent an. 1:43:50.340 --> 1:43:53.979 Extra man 50% of the time versus Wentz, only pressured. 1:43:53.460 --> 1:43:54.360 Him on 29% of his throws. 1:44:00.880 --> 1:44:05.340 Hertz didn't face many Titans blitzes, however, faced a hefty 40% 1:44:05.340 --> 1:44:08.769 pressure rate, taking three sacks for the second game in 1:44:08.810 --> 1:44:12.490 a row. Four of Philadelphia's five linemen gave up five 1:44:12.630 --> 1:44:16.290 or six pressures each last week. Cam Juergens, the only 1:44:16.390 --> 1:44:19.729 lineman blamed for a sack allowed, he got moved to guard, 1:44:19.850 --> 1:44:22.950 gave up a hefty 14% pressure rate. This is an 1:44:23.070 --> 1:44:25.390 area many Bird Gang faithful are worried about. 1:44:25.939 --> 1:44:28.700 That's the time to ratchet up the pass rush, and 1:44:28.820 --> 1:44:31.270 Jacob Martin comes up with a sack. 1:44:31.470 --> 1:44:35.670 Chicago's corners kept Justin Jefferson to 55 yards, didn't allow 1:44:35.810 --> 1:44:39.370 any other Viking to hit 30 yards, but corner Jalen Johnson, 1:44:39.610 --> 1:44:41.890 who spent a lot of time with Jettas, gave up 1:44:41.930 --> 1:44:45.650 a team-high 41 yards and a 100-plus rating, and he 1:44:45.689 --> 1:44:49.490 gave up 127 yards the week before. Now he gets 1:44:49.530 --> 1:44:53.229 Devontae Smith, went from 53 yards week one... to 117 1:44:53.229 --> 1:44:56.530 week two with a score, led the team in targets 1:44:56.570 --> 1:44:57.809 for the second week in a row. 1:44:58.170 --> 1:44:58.970 Hurts floats it. 1:44:59.110 --> 1:45:02.229 End zone, finds Devontae Smith for the touchdown. 1:45:02.470 --> 1:45:03.470 There's the home run. 1:45:03.650 --> 1:45:06.030 Dallas Goddard had the big game in the opener, then 1:45:06.090 --> 1:45:08.350 only four yards a week ago, hurt his knee in 1:45:08.370 --> 1:45:12.150 the second quarter and didn't come back. Makai Lemon, 14 yards. 1:45:12.310 --> 1:45:16.280 Dontavian Wicks seems to be earning Hurts' trust. Five catches, 1:45:16.460 --> 1:45:21.070 six targets versus the Titans. 74 yards, so back-to-back 70-plus 1:45:21.090 --> 1:45:21.769 yard games. 1:45:22.030 --> 1:45:26.710 Pump, throw, open man, first down. New reliable, Dontavian Wicks. 1:45:26.970 --> 1:45:30.990 What should Philadelphia expect from their ground game? Ran 32 times, 1:45:31.130 --> 1:45:35.480 only 89 yards, just 2.8 a carry. Saquon Barkley left 1:45:35.520 --> 1:45:38.760 week two hurt. Hainback ended the day with nine yards, 1:45:38.880 --> 1:45:41.580 only four attempts. Was set to get an MRI in 1:45:41.620 --> 1:45:42.380 the aftermath. 1:45:42.560 --> 1:45:45.510 Barkley being shaken up, got tumbled upon by a lot 1:45:45.550 --> 1:45:45.870 of weight. 1:45:45.950 --> 1:45:48.730 If he's fully healthy and gets his normal workload, he 1:45:48.810 --> 1:45:51.810 could be lined up for a big night versus Chicago's defense. 1:45:51.850 --> 1:45:54.610 They gave up 4-9 a carry to Chuba Hubbard week one, 1:45:54.910 --> 1:45:58.000 then gave up 105 yards to Aaron Jones on 4-6 1:45:58.400 --> 1:46:00.220 a carry despite the conditions. 1:46:00.600 --> 1:46:03.040 Second and seven, Jones again, a lot of room, and 1:46:03.100 --> 1:46:05.300 Aaron Jones crosses the 20. 1:46:05.300 --> 1:46:08.639 The pressure, of course, is on for Chicago's D because 1:46:08.780 --> 1:46:10.700 nobody can be sure what they're going to get from 1:46:10.740 --> 1:46:11.410 their offense. 1:46:11.729 --> 1:46:16.710 And he's in pain. Oh, no. The stadium is silent. 1:46:17.740 --> 1:46:20.400 It was like every Bears fan took the biggest kick 1:46:20.420 --> 1:46:23.700 to the you-know-whats that you can take. Luckily, it wasn't 1:46:23.740 --> 1:46:26.890 an Achilles injury, pulled hammy. So now they have to 1:46:26.970 --> 1:46:30.410 march on with Tyson Bajent, they hope, completed a few 1:46:30.450 --> 1:46:32.349 passes to give the team a chance at the end 1:46:32.390 --> 1:46:33.490 of last week at least. 1:46:33.810 --> 1:46:36.479 Middle, there's Burden with a juggling catch. 1:46:36.950 --> 1:46:37.540 So there it is. 1:46:37.920 --> 1:46:41.460 But he's in concussion protocol. If he doesn't clear, they 1:46:41.479 --> 1:46:46.430 turn to Case Keenum. The last time he started a game, 2023. 1:46:46.430 --> 1:46:49.230 Chicago's offense, though, not able to produce in the wet 1:46:49.270 --> 1:46:54.130 conditions against Minnesota's blitz-happy defense, even when Caleb was playing, too. 1:46:54.510 --> 1:46:59.650 Three points after that 59-week-one explosion, 4.2 yards per play, 1:46:59.670 --> 1:47:02.880 5-for-15 on third down, and 0-3 in the red zone. 1:47:03.340 --> 1:47:04.019 He's got it. 1:47:04.180 --> 1:47:08.140 DeAndre Swift lost the ball, and Minnesota's got it. 1:47:08.540 --> 1:47:10.920 Now they take on an Eagles defense that held their 1:47:10.960 --> 1:47:14.580 opponents to 22 and then 20 points, been good enough 1:47:14.600 --> 1:47:15.590 to get the job done. 1:47:16.240 --> 1:47:17.680 Fake it. Fake it again. 1:47:17.700 --> 1:47:20.720 Ward slings it. It's dropped in the end zone. 1:47:20.800 --> 1:47:24.210 Bajent draws a secondary that held Cam Ward without a touchdown. 1:47:24.510 --> 1:47:28.310 They haven't allowed either quarterback they've faced to hit 109 1:47:28.310 --> 1:47:29.470 passing yards in a game. 1:47:29.950 --> 1:47:32.269 On third down, it is Ward with a rifle shot 1:47:32.310 --> 1:47:33.269 for Carnell Tate. 1:47:33.590 --> 1:47:35.009 Incomplete, and he got drilled. 1:47:35.150 --> 1:47:38.969 Giving up 9.2 yards per attempt to Ward isn't great, though. 1:47:39.229 --> 1:47:41.950 But last week, it was their linebackers who got tagged 1:47:41.970 --> 1:47:44.550 with most of the yards they allowed, not the secondary. 1:47:44.930 --> 1:47:49.070 Bears pass catchers, tight end Colston Loveland, three yards over 1:47:49.130 --> 1:47:53.010 two games so far, baffling. Luther Burden went for 32 1:47:53.010 --> 1:47:56.570 yards last week, but he had seven targets. Kalief Raymond, 1:47:56.570 --> 1:47:59.370 40 yards, back-to-back weeks with 40-plus. 1:47:59.770 --> 1:48:03.830 Keeps it alive, lets it go. Kalief Raymond, first down. 1:48:04.450 --> 1:48:08.520 Rome Odunze, 43 yards, also has topped 40 in both games. 1:48:08.540 --> 1:48:12.849 Steps up, lets it go, there's Odunze! He's got it! 1:48:13.000 --> 1:48:16.570 De'Andre Swift led the team in receiving yards with 54. 1:48:16.570 --> 1:48:18.710 Screen for Swift and he's got some room. He's got 1:48:18.750 --> 1:48:20.760 blockers in front. DeAndre Swift. 1:48:20.979 --> 1:48:23.860 He was not as efficient on the ground, though. Chipped 1:48:24.400 --> 1:48:27.320 in 45 yards, but only 2-8 a run, and lost 1:48:27.390 --> 1:48:31.130 that ball at the goal line, which really hurt. Kyle Menungai, 1:48:31.130 --> 1:48:34.670 47 yards on 4-7 a carry. He started his year 1:48:34.729 --> 1:48:35.229 off well. 1:48:35.729 --> 1:48:38.139 Pass rush sitch. Caleb and Bajent took four sacks combined 1:48:38.180 --> 1:48:39.920 versus Minnesota, 35 pass attempts. Faced a ridiculous 79% blitz. 1:48:39.840 --> 1:48:59.150 Rate, faced pressure 48% of the time. No Bears linemen 1:48:59.229 --> 1:49:02.439 blamed for any of their sacks, though right tackle Darnell 1:49:02.490 --> 1:49:05.740 Wright gave up a 16% pressure rate and seven pressures. 1:49:06.140 --> 1:49:10.420 Philadelphia got to Ward twice, only blitzed 25% of the time, though, 1:49:10.520 --> 1:49:13.559 so Bajent is facing a different kind of attack. Jalen 1:49:13.620 --> 1:49:16.269 Carter and Nolan Smith with their week two sacks. 1:49:16.670 --> 1:49:20.950 Keeps it, and the Eagles were not fooled. That's Jalen Carter. 1:49:21.530 --> 1:49:24.250 Bears need to clean up the penalties so many in 1:49:24.290 --> 1:49:25.570 the first half last week.
