WEBVTT - NFL Week 8 FULL SLATE Preview 0:00:00.340 --> 0:00:02.820 Well, the Panthers don't have to stew as long about 0:00:02.860 --> 0:00:05.500 their Week 7 performance. They are on the road for 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:08.640 Thursday night football, hoping to find a way back over 0:00:08.700 --> 0:00:12.480 the 500 mark after being obliterated at home at the 0:00:12.539 --> 0:00:14.160 hands of a one-win team. 0:00:14.420 --> 0:00:16.919 The extra point is blocked, and it ends up in 0:00:16.940 --> 0:00:19.450 the hands of McCollum for Tampa Bay. 0:00:19.750 --> 0:00:23.310 Packers also have to try and bounce back Big Sean style, 0:00:23.430 --> 0:00:26.970 fell to 4-3. No one is talking smack right now 0:00:27.050 --> 0:00:28.550 in Titletown, USA. 0:00:28.570 --> 0:00:32.410 It's no good! He pushed it right! What is going 0:00:32.510 --> 0:00:33.849 on in Detroit? This is crazy. 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:37.480 That was Trey's seventh miss of the season, two of 0:00:37.500 --> 0:00:40.180 them point after attempts. No one is going to miss 0:00:40.220 --> 0:00:42.660 him much if he's not called upon to hit anything 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:45.979 important this week. Green Bay got Josh Jacobs back, but 0:00:46.020 --> 0:00:48.979 he did nothing to spark any kind of rush attack. 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.000 Only 36 yards on 3.3 a run. Packers with just 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:56.090 60 rush yards. have to hope he was rusty. They 0:00:56.130 --> 0:00:58.330 went one for four in the red zone, five for 0:00:58.330 --> 0:01:02.389 15 on third down, only 17 points versus a defense 0:01:02.630 --> 0:01:05.730 that had allowed 29 points per game before they met. 0:01:05.750 --> 0:01:06.830 In trouble. 0:01:06.950 --> 0:01:10.100 Backpedal throws. There's nobody there. Oh, there is somebody there. 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:10.819 It's a lion. 0:01:11.300 --> 0:01:15.610 Jordan Love with back-to-back sub-85 rate games. has thrown an 0:01:15.770 --> 0:01:18.690 INT in four of his last five games. None of 0:01:18.750 --> 0:01:22.270 that infers he's playing bad football. Some cheeseheads are very 0:01:22.370 --> 0:01:25.750 sensitive to how he's portrayed via stats. He's had guys 0:01:25.810 --> 0:01:28.790 dropping passes on the regular as of late. He threw 0:01:28.870 --> 0:01:33.050 two TDs. That's six two-TD games and seven outings. He 0:01:33.090 --> 0:01:36.990 has put up over 270 yards three straight. Christian Watson 0:01:37.290 --> 0:01:39.649 led the team with 57 versus Detroit. 0:01:39.830 --> 0:01:41.610 Love protected down the middle. 0:01:41.690 --> 0:01:43.770 Watson's got it in stride. 0:01:43.970 --> 0:01:47.970 Tucker Kraft hauled in a touchdown, 48 yards. Matthew Golden 0:01:48.030 --> 0:01:52.860 cooled off to 39 yards. Savion Williams, 47 yards. And 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.440 Jacobs did chip in 55 receiving yards and a score. 0:01:56.460 --> 0:01:59.560 Underneath he comes. It is Jacobs caught. Still on his feet. 0:01:59.580 --> 0:02:01.240 Josh Jacobs is in! 0:02:01.620 --> 0:02:04.620 Panthers' rough offensive day a week ago made for a 0:02:04.700 --> 0:02:07.780 rough day on their defense. Those four giveaways put them 0:02:07.820 --> 0:02:11.000 behind the eight ball. But bottom line, Green Bay looking 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.390 at a group that comes off a 32 point outing, 0:02:13.669 --> 0:02:16.870 giving up 27 points per game now. Let Tampa Bay 0:02:16.910 --> 0:02:19.989 convert three of four red zone trips, seven for 12 0:02:19.990 --> 0:02:20.770 on third down. 0:02:21.090 --> 0:02:25.080 Bouncing to the left, touchdown. Have a first half, why 0:02:25.100 --> 0:02:25.520 don't you? 0:02:25.580 --> 0:02:30.299 They've held three teams under 22 points. Atlanta, Cleveland, and Philadelphia, 0:02:30.460 --> 0:02:33.019 you can figure out what those offenses have in common. 0:02:33.260 --> 0:02:36.800 Here's the thing, though. They only faced 11 Baker Mayfield 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:45.010 pass attempts for 64 yards. Love is looking at a 0:02:45.070 --> 0:02:48.560 secondary holding quarterbacks to an 83 rating and who are 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.310 fresh after barely being tested week seven. No sacks on 0:02:52.350 --> 0:02:56.410 those 11 attempts. now sitting on a two-sack-a-game average. Love 0:02:56.530 --> 0:03:00.020 only took one sack on 45 pass attempts Week 7, 0:03:00.020 --> 0:03:03.380 had taken five over their previous two games. As to 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.340 Josh Jacobs, I saw a comment in last week's preview 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.040 that said the numbers tied to the Panthers' rush defense 0:03:09.340 --> 0:03:12.810 are deceiving due to their Week 1 showing. But fact is, 0:03:13.130 --> 0:03:16.320 They've given up over 130 rush yards in four of 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:20.860 their six games, have allowed 250-plus rush yards twice after 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:25.380 giving up 258 to the Buccaneers, 106 to Bucky Irving 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:29.690 on 4-4 a try, 88 to Kenneth Gainwell on 6-3 per, 0:03:29.690 --> 0:03:32.889 52 to Sean Tucker, who they let get away for 0:03:32.910 --> 0:03:37.090 a 46-yard touchdown, and yes, I watched it happen. No 0:03:37.150 --> 0:03:39.890 team giving up more yards a carry or a game 0:03:40.010 --> 0:03:40.809 for the season. 0:03:40.990 --> 0:03:44.710 And off Irving cuts it up the middle. Touchdown Tampa Bay. 0:03:44.970 --> 0:03:47.820 Bryce Young having to rebound from his worst game of 2026, 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:49.340 280 plus yards in his first five games, then 163 0:03:49.340 --> 0:03:58.360 last week. Season-low 51 rating, first two-INT game of the year, 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:00.300 turned the ball over three times. 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.930 Young with time, and he throws a pick right into 0:04:02.990 --> 0:04:04.930 the hands of Zion McCollum. 0:04:05.190 --> 0:04:08.810 Carolina's offense, good for 25-plus points in four of the 0:04:08.870 --> 0:04:12.870 first five games, then 13 versus Tampa Bay. Seven of 0:04:12.930 --> 0:04:15.650 those in Oscar the Grouch time turned the ball over 0:04:15.710 --> 0:04:18.110 four times. One returned for a TD. 0:04:18.250 --> 0:04:22.430 But another interception! The fourth turnover of the day for 0:04:22.470 --> 0:04:23.270 the Panthers! 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.839 Packers defense held a high-powered Lions offense to 20 points. 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.360 That's four in a row they haven't allowed 21. 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.940 Back to the corner. It's knocked away by Cisse. 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:35.400 That was a great play. 0:04:35.820 --> 0:04:37.960 On paper, they gave up a lot of yards to 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.940 all of Detroit's stars. 116 to Jameer Gibbs, for example. 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.960 They did make him work, holding him to four in attempt. 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.700 Carolina's run game was fine when used, but Chuba Hubbard 0:04:48.740 --> 0:04:51.520 only had seven carries due to the game being 33-6 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:56.520 at half. Through the air, Jalen Coker, 97 yards week six, 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:01.740 nine last week. Tedaroa McMillan from 192 to 86, then 0:05:01.740 --> 0:05:06.599 40 versus Tampa. Mitchell Evans, 39 yards. Darren Waller caught 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:07.760 a 50-yard TD. 0:05:08.170 --> 0:05:12.470 Down the middle. Waller on the run. Darren Waller with 0:05:12.529 --> 0:05:13.770 the touchdown. 0:05:14.050 --> 0:05:17.390 Packers DBs played the tight end spot fine versus Detroit, 0:05:17.430 --> 0:05:20.140 but they gave up 91 yards and two touchdowns to 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.300 Jamison Williams. 153 yards allowed to Amonra St. 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:22.520 Brown. 0:05:25.330 --> 0:05:29.530 Over 300 yards allowed to Jared Goff, two TDs, a 0:05:29.529 --> 0:05:29.890 119 rate. 0:05:30.130 --> 0:05:33.210 Williams now using that speed. Jamison Williams lunging to the 0:05:33.310 --> 0:05:33.860 end zone. 0:05:33.940 --> 0:05:35.000 He is in! 0:05:35.260 --> 0:05:38.260 Still holding quarterbacks under a 90 rating, so body of 0:05:38.300 --> 0:05:41.440 work more impressive than their week seven digits. They only 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:45.350 sacked Goff once on 32 pass attempts, 16 sacks in 0:05:45.380 --> 0:05:48.409 seven games now, but why should they bother to rush 0:05:48.450 --> 0:05:52.690 the passer? Holy bajoly, man. That's back-to-back weeks they've been 0:05:52.750 --> 0:05:56.480 hit with What you would call sketchy roughing the passer calls, 0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:00.460 Tom Brady sounded like Randy Marsh in that sarcastic ball episode. 0:06:01.339 --> 0:06:02.779 Oh my goodness, what is that? 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.160 That's definitely not roughing the passer. 0:06:05.420 --> 0:06:08.800 Bryce has been sacked two plus times every game, lost 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:12.539 Taylor Moten last week with a fractured fibula, Young got 0:06:12.580 --> 0:06:16.159 dropped five times versus the Buccaneers. They didn't even blitz 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.730 him a lot, and he faced a whopping 50% pressure rate. 0:06:20.050 --> 0:06:22.950 Left tackle Rasheed Walker had only allowed a half a 0:06:23.010 --> 0:06:27.210 sack in five games, allowed three last week per NextGenStats. 0:06:27.570 --> 0:06:30.240 Pressure again. Young, the ball is out, and it's a 0:06:30.300 --> 0:06:32.180 scoop headed the other direction. 0:06:33.350 --> 0:06:37.030 Jaguars back at their real home. London's cool, but not 0:06:37.110 --> 0:06:40.210 enough backwards red caps in the stands to inspire two 0:06:40.270 --> 0:06:41.090 wins over there. 0:06:41.510 --> 0:06:43.690 Clean exchange. It's away. 0:06:44.130 --> 0:06:48.870 And it is down the middle. The Texans win it 0:06:48.910 --> 0:06:49.610 here in London. 0:06:49.770 --> 0:06:53.070 The Indianapolis Colts are in town who haven't won a 0:06:53.130 --> 0:06:57.100 game in Duval since 2014. And they haven't won a 0:06:57.140 --> 0:06:59.339 game in 2026 in three weeks. 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.619 Jones intercepted. 0:07:03.210 --> 0:07:07.960 Harrison Smith picks it off, and that will do it. 0:07:08.380 --> 0:07:12.980 Colts on a three-game losing streak, 2-5 record now. GM fired. 0:07:13.420 --> 0:07:16.760 Owner still on the sideline taking notes. Who's next on 0:07:16.810 --> 0:07:20.350 her list, right? Offense only 10 points last week. Sure, 0:07:20.390 --> 0:07:24.250 that was that Minnesota defense, but they haven't scored 23 0:07:24.250 --> 0:07:27.530 in four of their last five. Daniel Jones has only 0:07:27.570 --> 0:07:31.120 gone one game without an INT this season. Not one 0:07:31.180 --> 0:07:34.310 game with even a 90 rate or 7 yards per attempt. 0:07:34.580 --> 0:07:38.490 Four straight games completing fewer than 60% of his passes. 0:07:38.890 --> 0:07:42.920 He will throw it. Incomplete. The closest player to it 0:07:42.980 --> 0:07:43.980 was Van Ginkle. 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:47.780 Only 108 yards a week ago. how about taking 10 0:07:47.780 --> 0:07:56.100 sacks in the last two games? You can make the 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.920 argument they would be better off leaning into the Hammond 0:07:59.060 --> 0:08:02.580 pros playbook. First down, handoff to Taylor to the right. 0:08:02.940 --> 0:08:06.110 Second down, handoff to Taylor to the left. Third down, 0:08:06.190 --> 0:08:09.650 Taylor up the middle. Fourth down, dealer's choice. He can 0:08:09.730 --> 0:08:13.730 run wherever he wants. Jonathan, 95 yards versus Minnesota, 5.3 0:08:13.730 --> 0:08:18.020 a pop. got to do the JT Moonwalk once, had 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.200 that kind of game the week before, too. 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:24.130 Taylor, he's got a running lane. And Taylor could go! Taylor, 0:08:24.170 --> 0:08:25.230 the acceleration! 0:08:25.790 --> 0:08:26.730 And he gets there! 0:08:26.990 --> 0:08:27.670 Touchdown! 0:08:27.690 --> 0:08:30.970 Colts offense dancing with a Jags defense that just gave 0:08:31.030 --> 0:08:34.390 up 34 points to Houston last time out was not 0:08:34.450 --> 0:08:37.600 reflective of their body of work, nothing about how they 0:08:37.660 --> 0:08:40.240 looked and that loss was. Maybe two weeks of tea 0:08:40.260 --> 0:08:43.510 and crumpets made them drowsy. They had held every team 0:08:43.530 --> 0:08:46.490 to fewer than 21 points prior to that game and 0:08:46.530 --> 0:08:48.710 are one of the hardest teams to score on inside 0:08:48.770 --> 0:08:51.970 the 20, scored a 17-point-per-game average for 2026. 0:08:51.970 --> 0:08:55.120 Hey, looking, looking, looking. Fires to the back of the end. 0:08:55.130 --> 0:08:57.459 That ball's going to be picked off! It's going to 0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.520 be picked off! How about that? 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.980 Get everyone back on a cold nose and some garlic crabs, 0:09:03.020 --> 0:09:05.860 you know? Jones is squaring off with a secondary holding 0:09:05.900 --> 0:09:09.870 quarterbacks to an 87 rating on the strength of seven INTs. 0:09:10.130 --> 0:09:15.190 Their cornerback trio is tough. Jerrion Jones, Travis Hunter, Jordan Lewis, 0:09:15.470 --> 0:09:19.470 all sub-82 ratings, Lewis and Hunter, two interceptions each. 0:09:19.550 --> 0:09:20.069 Play fake. 0:09:20.250 --> 0:09:22.010 Rolling right is Stroud, fires back at the end zone. 0:09:22.130 --> 0:09:24.470 Holds intercepted! He threw it into the back of the 0:09:24.530 --> 0:09:25.689 end zone, it was picked off! 0:09:25.970 --> 0:09:29.469 Travis showing that AC-DC trait that made him worth trading 0:09:29.570 --> 0:09:31.830 up for, by the way. Pick and a TD in 0:09:31.870 --> 0:09:32.750 the same game. 0:09:32.890 --> 0:09:33.230 Looking. 0:09:33.570 --> 0:09:36.010 Trevor fires toward the goal line. Caught! 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:36.720 Touchdown! 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:38.520 Travis Hunter, who else? 0:09:38.780 --> 0:09:42.680 Now, the one red flag so far for Jacksonville's pass defense, 0:09:42.740 --> 0:09:45.620 they've allowed eight yards per attempt and over 12 yards 0:09:45.700 --> 0:09:49.680 per completion. They've given up 21 passes of 20 plus yards, 0:09:50.059 --> 0:09:54.510 fifth most after six weeks. Jags pass rush only 11 sacks. 0:09:54.630 --> 0:09:57.890 Team leader Trayvon Walker with just two. They do have 0:09:57.929 --> 0:10:00.780 a healthy enough pressure rate so it's not a toothless 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:01.520 pass rush. 0:10:01.940 --> 0:10:05.460 Flag down. He's out of the pocket. Gets to the sideline. 0:10:06.179 --> 0:10:08.080 Chased out of bounds by Jordan Lewis. 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.700 JT will be challenged to lay a big number on 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:14.280 Jacksonville's front. He's looking at the number one rush defense, 0:10:14.340 --> 0:10:16.939 holding ball carriers to 3.2 per attempt. 0:10:17.100 --> 0:10:22.710 Are they marking this? Two inches short of a first down. 0:10:22.730 --> 0:10:25.090 Would you even risk it against what's been the best 0:10:25.150 --> 0:10:27.130 run defense so far in the NFL this year? 0:10:27.350 --> 0:10:31.300 Colts defense, capable of making it hard on Jacksonville's offense, 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:35.080 just depends on which version shows up. Have allowed 33 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:39.520 plus points three times, but have held three teams under 20. 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:43.190 Kept Minnesota to 16 in their latest loss. just three 0:10:43.250 --> 0:10:46.150 for 11 on third down under five yards per play. 0:10:46.429 --> 0:10:49.579 Murray steps, Murray delivers, knockdown! 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:56.480 Kenneth Harris held Kyler Murray to 150 yards, just 6.3 0:10:56.480 --> 0:11:00.220 yards per attempt, sacked him three times on 24 chances. 0:11:00.220 --> 0:11:03.760 207 mark, and Murray is sacked. 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:08.260 Now, Sunshine may note that Indy did all that versus Murray. 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:12.270 Most defenses have improved their stats against him, Colts are 0:11:12.309 --> 0:11:15.630 allowing a 97 rating, only two teams have given up 0:11:15.670 --> 0:11:19.130 more yards per completion, and they only have 13 sacks 0:11:19.230 --> 0:11:19.890 for the year. 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.800 Murray, he's going to throw it, catch made, Hawkinson angles 0:11:23.860 --> 0:11:25.580 his body, touchdown! 0:11:26.140 --> 0:11:29.080 Trevor Lawrence hit his week of rest, tied for the 0:11:29.140 --> 0:11:32.410 league lead in touchdowns, has 14, has thrown for a 0:11:32.450 --> 0:11:37.280 plus 100 rating, 246 yards per game. hit Houston's secondary, 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.710 considered top shelf, with a season-high four TDs. 0:11:40.850 --> 0:11:44.609 Jacksonville's offense has been hit and miss, from 34 points 0:11:44.630 --> 0:11:45.810 to 13, then 35 to 22 and 19, and then 0:11:45.809 --> 0:11:46.470 31 their last outing. 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:00.490 That's a 25-point-per-game average. They're top 10 on third down 0:12:00.610 --> 0:12:01.410 and in the red zone. 0:12:01.610 --> 0:12:02.670 A little pop pass. 0:12:03.230 --> 0:12:05.860 One-handed catch by Borkature. 0:12:07.410 --> 0:12:09.689 Lawrence didn't take a single sack at the hands of 0:12:09.809 --> 0:12:13.290 Will Anderson and Daniil Hunter, has only taken 10 sacks 0:12:13.350 --> 0:12:17.010 in six games, below average pressure rate faced, so not 0:12:17.050 --> 0:12:18.450 an easy dude to track down. 0:12:18.650 --> 0:12:22.190 Colts DBs have three guys to primarily try and slow, 0:12:22.210 --> 0:12:24.730 tight end Brenton Strange, 46 yards per game. 0:12:31.370 --> 0:12:36.600 Jacoby Myers, 47 yards per game, and T-Law's go-to, Parker Washington, 0:12:36.900 --> 0:12:40.760 has scored four times. 69 yards per game has really 0:12:40.820 --> 0:12:43.980 blossomed into a number one Lawrence clearly trusts. 0:12:44.140 --> 0:12:48.300 Their blitz, Parker Washington. He's like a video game. Gets loose, 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.300 gets to the edge. First down and more. 0:12:50.700 --> 0:12:53.949 Bashall Tootin in charge of the ground transportation. has been 0:12:54.010 --> 0:12:57.340 solid for them, 4-1 a carry, 64 rush yards per game. 0:12:57.500 --> 0:13:01.940 Lawrence, wide open, easy pitch and catch, touchdown, the second 0:13:01.980 --> 0:13:02.880 for Basial Tootin. 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.670 Hey, load him up. Colts are giving up 4.8 yards 0:13:06.770 --> 0:13:09.930 per carry for the season, only two teams allowing more, 0:13:09.929 --> 0:13:11.050 136 yards on 4-7 a run to Minnesota. 0:13:15.210 --> 0:13:15.380 L.A. 0:13:15.450 --> 0:13:19.190 Chargers on the road this week. Shortest road trip ever. 0:13:19.390 --> 0:13:22.650 Just walk over to the other sideline. Had last week off, 0:13:22.809 --> 0:13:25.890 so finally didn't lose a game. No team in more 0:13:25.970 --> 0:13:27.090 need of a recharge. 0:13:27.450 --> 0:13:27.950 They don't. 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:34.480 Fourth and four in the ground. Incomplete. Incomplete pass. Chiefs 0:13:34.500 --> 0:13:36.100 will take over and they've got the win. 0:13:36.300 --> 0:13:39.520 I can testify to that, too. The Rams, their opponent 0:13:39.580 --> 0:13:41.460 in this one. So maybe the game will be on 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.710 Gorilla Radio. The Horned Ones' season felt like it was 0:13:44.790 --> 0:13:47.350 on the ropes. Lose to the Raiders and war would 0:13:47.390 --> 0:13:50.069 have been within a breath. But they remained calm like 0:13:50.110 --> 0:13:52.750 a bomb in Vegas last week, got back into the 0:13:52.790 --> 0:13:53.449 win column. 0:13:54.010 --> 0:13:57.650 And on their way to going 3-4, they'll get the 0:13:57.750 --> 0:14:00.480 Chargers next, then on the road with the Commanders and 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:01.780 Cardinals before a bye. 0:14:01.820 --> 0:14:04.260 Don't have to sleep now in the fire just yet. 0:14:04.380 --> 0:14:07.900 Don't have Devontae Pukas banged up. Just toke the rock. 0:14:08.290 --> 0:14:12.630 Kyron Williams, 99 yards versus Vegas, 6-2 a run, a score, 0:14:13.130 --> 0:14:19.640 averaging 5-1 per handoff for 2026, 5 TDs. The pitch, Kyron. 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:24.700 Williams, spinning toward the end zone, touchdown Rams, Kyron Williams. 0:14:25.100 --> 0:14:28.800 Blake Corum hitting at 4-9 a carry for 2026, 93 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:32.430 yards a week ago, 5-5 per, also scored. 0:14:32.770 --> 0:14:34.850 He gives, he hits the hole, he's got a block, 0:14:34.870 --> 0:14:35.670 he's got a touchdown. 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.120 And most likely the ball game. 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.260 Blake Corham on a four-yard touchdown. 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.780 Those two dudes, the fuel for a 35-point outing on 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.780 the strip, cashed in all five red zone trips. 0:14:50.150 --> 0:14:51.850 Stafford floats it for the end zone. 0:14:51.890 --> 0:14:52.930 Touchdown Rams! 0:14:52.990 --> 0:14:53.750 Davis Allen! 0:14:54.110 --> 0:14:56.710 Stafford and company are not dealing with a bad defense 0:14:56.770 --> 0:14:59.390 in this one. Their 25 points per game allowed is 0:14:59.470 --> 0:15:02.480 tied to how inept their offense has been. They have 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.580 10 takeaways and have been top 10 good in the 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:07.060 red zone and on third down. 0:15:07.380 --> 0:15:09.260 Intercepted in the end zone. 0:15:09.730 --> 0:15:11.530 Picked off right there by Hart. 0:15:12.050 --> 0:15:14.130 Oh, they stopped the drive and it's track. 0:15:14.410 --> 0:15:17.550 And the Chargers front holding backs to four a carry. 0:15:17.810 --> 0:15:20.750 Their defense has at least kept them somewhat competitive. 0:15:21.050 --> 0:15:25.070 Running Walker. Oh, stoned at the line of scrimmage. No 0:15:25.090 --> 0:15:28.600 gain on the play. Goal line stand. Big time hit 0:15:28.700 --> 0:15:30.400 by the veteran Tony Jefferson. 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:34.960 Chargers secondary holding quarterbacks to a respectable 90 rating, only 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:39.380 206 yards per game allowed. Corner Cam Hart has two INTs, 0:15:39.620 --> 0:15:41.640 as does safety Genesis Smith. 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.520 Over the middle and it's picked off! 0:15:45.020 --> 0:15:47.460 Genesis Smith has it of the Chargers. 0:15:47.820 --> 0:15:51.740 Pass rush, only 11 sacks, but a healthy 38% pressure rate. 0:15:52.020 --> 0:15:54.080 Khalil Mack leads the team with three backs. 0:15:54.140 --> 0:15:55.120 Hold on, first down. 0:15:55.580 --> 0:15:59.020 Pressure coming, and he's thrown down by Khalil Mack. 0:15:59.550 --> 0:16:03.340 Stafford only took one sack on 29 attempts versus Las Vegas. 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.340 That's just one taken in three of his last four, 0:16:06.700 --> 0:16:09.040 so it hasn't been a problem much. He threw for 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:12.590 three TDs last week, too, put up a 110-plus rate 0:16:12.630 --> 0:16:15.800 for the third straight time. He is now the franchise 0:16:15.900 --> 0:16:18.080 record holder for TD passes. 0:16:18.340 --> 0:16:23.940 Wide open touchdown Rams. Davis Allen from Matthew Stafford. 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:26.920 Only 195 yards last week. More than enough with their 0:16:26.980 --> 0:16:29.600 run game popping like it did. Only dude with more 0:16:29.620 --> 0:16:33.900 than 50 receiving yards, Nakua, who scored and tallied 68 yards. 0:16:33.980 --> 0:16:37.540 Stafford firing. It's Puka Nakua. To the end zone and 0:16:37.590 --> 0:16:38.880 that's a Rams touchdown. 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.990 Tight end, Colby Parkinson, 48 yards. Nobody else with even 0:16:42.990 --> 0:16:46.970 23 yards. Davis Allen did catch two touchdowns, though. They 0:16:47.050 --> 0:16:51.110 handled their business, as did their defense, holding a high-scoring 0:16:51.170 --> 0:16:55.690 Raiders offense to 21 points, 3-for-14 on 3rd down, 2-for-5 0:16:55.730 --> 0:16:59.430 on 4th down, and 1-for-5 in the red zone. 20-26 0:16:59.610 --> 0:17:03.850 numbers now, 22 points per game, 5th best inside the 0:17:03.850 --> 0:17:05.470 20 and on 3rd down. 0:17:05.869 --> 0:17:10.300 Time for Cousins. On the move, throws and knocked away. 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:12.800 Quinton Lake, Trey Tucker. 0:17:13.180 --> 0:17:16.280 Chargers are hoping a week off somehow sparks something for 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.280 an offense that didn't score 18 points in five of 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:24.990 their six games. O'Marion Hampton, Trey Harris, Ladd McConkie, Quinton Johnston, 0:17:25.150 --> 0:17:30.290 David Njoku, not one averaging even 50 yards per game. Bolts, 0:17:30.510 --> 0:17:33.600 averaging a lowly 15 points per game, are part of 0:17:33.619 --> 0:17:37.659 the under-five-yards-per-play club. Bad on third down and in the 0:17:37.700 --> 0:17:38.120 red zone. 0:17:38.300 --> 0:17:41.379 Justin Herbert trying to put the brakes on what is 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:45.000 a career-worst season so far. Only five touchdowns. 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:44.600 Against eight INTs. 0:17:54.619 --> 0:17:59.340 Most of any quarterback, sub-70 rate, just 190 yards per game. 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:00.640 It's been brutal. 0:18:00.660 --> 0:18:03.179 And their O-line is at the center of the mess. 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.540 Sure, Mike McDaniels too, but Herbert has been sacked 21 0:18:05.540 --> 0:18:06.139 times in six games. 0:18:06.220 --> 0:18:08.060 Has faced pressure over 40% of his throws. They've used 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:09.000 nine O-linemen already. 0:18:22.970 --> 0:18:27.500 He's hit! Fourth sack! Boy, they're coming in bunches. They 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:28.680 had four coming in. 0:18:28.980 --> 0:18:32.340 The Rams' pass rush has lacked teeth with only 10 sacks, 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:35.679 only got to Cousins twice on 44 pass attempts. They 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:40.420 gave up 295 yards to Kirko Chains, two touchdowns, 61 0:18:40.420 --> 0:18:44.169 yards and a touchdown allowed to Ashton Gentry. 73 yards 0:18:44.230 --> 0:18:47.760 to Brock Bowers, 103 and a score to Trey Tucker. 0:18:47.859 --> 0:18:49.890 Loading one, open is Tucker. 0:18:50.260 --> 0:18:53.220 And Tucker, he puts a move on to the end zone. 0:18:53.540 --> 0:18:55.220 In for a Raider touchdown. 0:18:55.420 --> 0:18:55.560 L.A. 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:59.860 's pass defense has been top-notch, though, overall. Wasn't even 0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:02.740 that they played the pass poorly when you consider 18 0:19:02.740 --> 0:19:06.340 of Cousins' passes fell to the turf. They also handled 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.359 the Raiders' run game with ease. Most do, but they 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:16.560 held them to 2.8 per attempt. It's the Geno Smith 0:19:16.619 --> 0:19:19.830 revenge game. New York Jets at home this week. They've 0:19:19.910 --> 0:19:23.330 lost five of their last six games, their latest L, 0:19:23.670 --> 0:19:25.640 to a winless team at home. 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:28.859 But again, you get this first down, game's over. On 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:33.120 the keeper, Willis on fourth and less than a yard. 0:19:33.140 --> 0:19:34.240 I think he gets that. 0:19:34.420 --> 0:19:36.790 No signal yet, and they've got it. 0:19:37.010 --> 0:19:40.030 This does feel a little like Harry facing off with 0:19:40.070 --> 0:19:42.930 Lloyd right now, or two guys who've had a few 0:19:42.990 --> 0:19:46.370 too many fighting outside of an IHOP at 3 a.m., 0:19:46.650 --> 0:19:49.689 because they take on the Las Vegas Raiders, making the 0:19:49.750 --> 0:19:52.159 trip east on a four-game losing streak. 0:19:52.700 --> 0:19:55.290 And Blake Corham takes it in for a touchdown. 0:19:57.550 --> 0:19:59.690 Hey, I'm not here to make commercials. This is a 0:19:59.750 --> 0:20:02.810 game between two teams that have one win between them 0:20:03.090 --> 0:20:06.050 in the last four weeks. But let's pretend this is 0:20:06.090 --> 0:20:09.129 a prime time game and we were only focused on 0:20:09.150 --> 0:20:12.800 the positives. Geno Smith comes in off a 3 TD game, 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:16.420 280 plus yards, a 125 plus rate. 0:20:16.740 --> 0:20:20.280 Dolphins bring four. Smith takes a shot into the same. 0:20:20.300 --> 0:20:20.780 It's caught. 0:20:20.859 --> 0:20:21.360 Oh, man. 0:20:21.700 --> 0:20:22.140 Cooper. 0:20:24.170 --> 0:20:28.699 Against Kirk Cousins, who just went for 295 yards and 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:32.899 two touchdowns, he's aired it out for 295-plus yards in 0:20:32.940 --> 0:20:34.220 three of his last four. 0:20:34.530 --> 0:20:37.530 To Trey Tucker, and Tucker can run. Oh, he's the 0:20:37.570 --> 0:20:41.390 fastest on the Raider team. Tripped up at the 45 0:20:41.390 --> 0:20:42.510 of the ramps. 0:20:43.010 --> 0:20:46.760 Trey Tucker coming off a 100-plus yard game and a touchdown. 0:20:47.100 --> 0:20:50.440 He's scored back-to-back games, 97-plus yards in each. 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:53.980 Rock Bowers, 73 yards versus the. 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:57.169 Rams, at least 70 yards in five games he's played. 0:21:05.770 --> 0:21:09.350 And she is caught inside the 20. That's Bowers. 0:21:09.650 --> 0:21:12.730 And Ashton Jente still hasn't been able to get anything 0:21:12.770 --> 0:21:15.710 going as a runner, but he caught a touchdown, 61 0:21:15.710 --> 0:21:19.300 receiving yards. That's 50-plus receiving yards in three of his 0:21:19.380 --> 0:21:20.080 last four. 0:21:20.500 --> 0:21:22.980 Cousins floating for the end zone. Jente has it. It's 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:24.200 a Raider touchdown! 0:21:25.180 --> 0:21:28.550 Okay, but the Jets have Omar Cooper rolling in off 0:21:28.570 --> 0:21:33.389 a 115-yard game. He scored again. Rookie with 100-plus yards 0:21:33.550 --> 0:21:36.470 and a score in both games he's played since coming 0:21:36.510 --> 0:21:37.390 back from injury. 0:21:37.550 --> 0:21:39.629 Action from the 35. Smith up the seam. 0:21:39.690 --> 0:21:40.240 Completes. 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:44.840
