Regular Season Week 10
Welcome to November. The trade deadline was Tuesday and there were some surprises. The biggest blockbuster being the Jets trading CB Sauce Gardner to the Colts and DT Quinnen Williams to the Cowboys. Other notable deals included the Seahawks acquiring WR Rashid Shaheed from the Saints and the Jaguars trading for WR Jakobi Meyers from the Raiders. Most shockingly, the Giants made no moves. Sigh?
I was out of town last week celebrating my brother’s retirement from the military so I wasn’t able to watch much football. We were able to catch the World Series though, congratulations to the LA Dodgers, I was pulling for the Blue Jays. The best part about being out of town was being with family and close friends. The second best part was not having to watch my Giants lose.
I bounced back somewhat in fantasy, winning in one league losing in the other. CMC Ya Next Season 6-3, Cursed 3-6.
Also, I went 9-5 in picks.
Let’s jump into the recap!
Ravens @ Dolphins 28-6
The Ravens decisively defeated the Dolphins on Thursday Night Football, fueled by the return of QB Lamar Jackson from injury. Jackson threw four touchdown passes, two to tight end Mark Andrews, while the Ravens defense capitalized on multiple Miami turnovers. The Dolphins struggled with miscues and could only manage two field goals, as the Ravens cruised to a comfortable victory.
Fun Fact: Lamar Jackson became just the fourth player in NFL history to throw at least four touchdown passes against the Miami Dolphins in three or more career games, joining Tom Brady, Josh Allen, and Drew Bledsoe.
Falcons @ Patriots 23-24
This was the ONLY game we got in the hotel room. Lame. The Patriots narrowly defeated the Falcons, I mean, whoa. Atlanta mounted a fierce second-half comeback, fueled by three touchdown passes from Michael Penix Jr. to Drake London, but a missed extra point on the Falcons final touchdown with just over four minutes left proved to be the difference.
Fun Fact: Patriots quarterback Drake Maye extended his franchise record for consecutive games with 200+ passing yards and a 100+ passer rating to eight, surpassing a streak previously held by Patrick Mahomes for players under 24 years old.
Chargers @ Titans 27-20
The Chargers defeated the Titans in a gritty road win. The pivotal moment came when the Chargers defense made a dramatic fourth down goal line stand in the third quarter, which they immediately followed with a 99 yard touchdown drive led by quarterback Justin Herbert. Despite the Titans sacking Herbert six times, the Chargers held on for the win, with Herbert accounting for three total touchdowns.
Fun Fact: The Titans 67-yard punt return touchdown by Chimere Dike was the franchise's first punt return touchdown in nearly 13 years, dating back to December 2012.
Bears @ Bengals 47-42
We were able to see the conclusion of this game while we waited for our flight home. It was a fun one to watch, an absolute offensive shootout that featured two lead changes in the final minute. After the Bears blew a late 14-point lead and surrendered a go-ahead touchdown and onside kick recovery to the Bengals, QB Caleb Williams connected with tight end Colston Loveland for a dramatic 58 yard game winning touchdown with just 17 seconds left. The two teams combined for 89 points and over 1,000 total yards in one of the wildest games of the season.
Fun Fact: On the Bears opening drive, quarterback Caleb Williams caught a two-yard touchdown pass from wide receiver DJ Moore on a trick play. Then there was another trick play where Williams threw a backward pass to back up QB Tyson Bagent, who was lined up as a receiver, and Bagent then threw a forward pass back to Williams for a 20-yard gain. These two trick plays made Williams the first starting quarterback since 1953 to have more than one reception and at least ten completions in a single game.
Colts @ Steelers 20-27
I got this pick wrong… T.J. Watt and the Steelers defense effectively shut down star running back Jonathan Taylor and intercepted quarterback Daniel Jones three times, ultimately scoring 24 points off the Colts miscues. The Colts late comeback effort was halted by the final turnover, sealing a crucial victory for the Steelers at home.
Fun Fact: The six turnovers forced by the Steelers were their highest single-game total since Week 1 of the 2018 season.
49ers @ NY Giants 34-24
I managed to not see a single play of this game. Magical. It’s easier to weather a Giants loss when you don’t know what happened. I do have RB CMC, Christian McCaffrey, on the fantasy team that is killing it so I’m not even mad that we lost this game. I won in my fantasy league. Speaking of CMC, he was unstoppable, accumulating 173 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. The Giants were able to score two touchdowns in garbage time. Jaxson Dart finished the day with one rushing and two passing touchdowns.
Fun Fact: Christian McCaffrey’s performance marked his 16th career game with both a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown, breaking a tie with Marshall Faulk for the most such games in NFL history.
Not so Fun Fact: Dart was taken aback Sunday, he’s not used to playing home games where the away team has more fans. He commented that it was "interesting" and admitted, "I've never played at a home game where I felt like it was kind of lopsided in that department."
Broncos @ Texans 18-15
The Broncos seem to only win OR lose games in the last second by a field goal. It happened again. The Broncos won on a walk off field goal to end the game. The Denver defense was the backbone of the win, holding the Texans to five field goals and zero touchdowns despite Houston having five drives reach the Denver 20-yard line or closer, including two goal line stands. QB Bo Nix led the clutch final drive, including a critical 25 yard scramble, to deliver the Broncos their fourth fourth-quarter comeback win in five weeks.
Fun Fact: The Denver Broncos defense became the first team this season to hold an opponent to zero offensive touchdowns while facing five or more red zone attempts.
Vikings @ Lions 27-24
I definitely got this pick wrong. Vikings QB JJ McCarthy threw two touchdowns and ran for another score to give the Vikings a late 24-14 lead, which was threatened only after the Lions mounted a furious comeback to pull within three points. Ultimately, a crucial third-down conversion by McCarthy in the final minutes allowed the Vikings to run out the clock and seal the upset victory.
Fun Fact: Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy became the first Vikings quarterback in franchise history to throw two touchdown passes and run for a touchdown in their first-ever game against the Detroit Lions.
Panthers @ Packers 16-13
I got this pick wrong too! The Panthers defense limited the heavily favored Packers to just one touchdown despite Green Bay making five trips into the red zone, while Carolina's run game, led by Rico Dowdle's 130 yards and two touchdowns, controlled the tempo. Rookie kicker Ryan Fitzgerald secured the shocking victory with a clutch 49-yard field goal as time expired.
Fun Fact: This victory marked the second-largest upset in Carolina Panthers franchise history, as they entered the game as nearly two-touchdown underdogs.
Jaguars @ Raiders 30-29 OT
The Jaguars defeated the Raiders in a wild overtime finish, highlighted by a back and forth second half that saw five lead changes and a last second field goal to force overtime. QB Trevor Lawrence led the game winning drive in overtime, scoring on a 1 yard run.
Fun Fact: Jaguars kicker Cam Little broke the NFL record for the longest field goal with a 68-yard kick at the end of the first half, surpassing Justin Tucker's previous record of 66 yards.
Saints @ Rams 10-34
Honestly, this game was so lopsided that I’m just going to share the fun fact with you.
Fun Fact: The Los Angeles Rams set an NFL season-high for time of possession in this game, holding the ball for an incredible 43 minutes and 53 seconds compared to the Saints mere 16 minutes and 7 seconds.
Chiefs @ Bills 21-28
LET’S GO BUFFALO!!!!! The Bills defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in a tightly contested rivalry game, driven by a nearly flawless performance from quarterback Josh Allen, who accounted for three touchdowns. The Bills defense was instrumental, pressuring Patrick Mahomes throughout the game and securing a key late game interception to snuff the Chiefs fourth quarter comeback. Though Kansas City rallied to make it a one score game, Buffalo's run game and ball control allowed them to secure the clock draining victory.
Fun Fact: Bills quarterback Josh Allen set a new franchise record for completion percentage in a single game (minimum 15 attempts), completing 23 of 26 passes for an incredible 88.5%.
Seahawks @ Commanders 38-14
The Seahawks jumped out to a commanding 31-7 halftime lead. The win was costly for Washington, however, as QB Jayden Daniels exited the game late in the fourth quarter with an elbow injury, possibly ending his season.
Fun Fact: Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold completed his first 17 passes of the game, tying a Seattle franchise record for consecutive completions.
Cardinals @ Cowboys 27-17
The Cardinals snapped a five game losing streak by defeating the Cowboys on Monday Night Football, dominating the game with efficient offense and key defensive stops. YouTubeTV subscribers wouldn’t know because the richest people in the world seem to need more money, because money. Translation, ESPN, which is owned by Disney, is still unavailable on YouTubeTV because of contract negotiations. I’m so sick and tired of the rich getting richer while the rest of us can’t even watch football when we want!
Anyway, Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett, filling in for an injured Kyler Murray, managed the game effectively with two touchdown passes and a rushing score, repeatedly connecting with Marvin Harrison Jr. The Cowboys offense struggled severely in the red zone, turning the ball over on downs multiple times and never truly threatening to take the lead.
Fun Fact: Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey attempted a 68-yard field goal at the end of the first half, which would have tied the all-time NFL record set just the day before, but the kick sailed wide left.
WEEK 10
Thursday, November 6th
Raiders (2-6) @ Broncos (7-2) (8:15pm PRIME VIDEO)
Let’s just say I’ll be more surprised if the Broncos don’t win. I’m picking Denver to win this game.
Sunday, November 9th
Falcons (3-5) @ Colts (7-2) (9:30am NFLN, NFL+)
This game is being played at the Olympiastadion Berlin (Olympic Stadium) in Berlin, Germany. This historic venue, originally built for the 1936 Summer Olympics, is also the home of the German football club Hertha BSC and will be hosting an NFL regular-season game for the very first time. The Colts are favorites going into this game, but being played overseas, anything is possible. I am picking the Colts to beat the Falcons.
Browns (2-6) @ Jets (1-7) (1pm CBS)
I see the record of both teams. The Jets just traded Sauce Gardner, who was their entire defense in my opinion. Therefore, I am picking the Browns to win this game.
Jaguars (5-3) @ Texans (3-5) (1pm CBS)
With C.J. Stroud already ruled out with a concussion this Sunday I am going to pick the Jags to win..
Bills (7-2) @ Dolphins (2-7) (1pm CBS)
The Dolphins parted ways with Chris Grier, who had been their General Manager since 2016 and had been with the organization since 2000 after the loss last week. The Dolphins are in big trouble. The Bills should win this game easily. Don’t look past this game Buffalo! I’m rooting for and picking the Bills to win this game. LET’S GO BUFFALO! GO BILLS!
Patriots (7-2) @ Buccaneers (6-2) (1pm CBS)
The Bucs are coming off their bye week but they are still pretty banged up. They have home field advantage and Baker wills them to win most games, but the Patriots are scary good this season. I’m going against better judgement and picking the Bucs to win this game.
NY Giants (2-7) @ Bears (5-3) (1pm FOX)
We’ll find a way to lose this game too. I’ll be rooting for the Giants but picking the Bears to win this game. Go G-Men!
Ravens (3-5) @ Vikings (4-4) (1pm FOX)
With Lamar Jackson back under center it’s going to be hard for me to pick against the Ravens. They made a statement last week and I think they’ll do it again this week. I am picking the Ravens to beat the Vikings in this game of the Purple People Eaters.
Saints (1-8) @ Panthers (5-4) (1pm FOX)
The Panthers have continued to shock me this season. The Saints traded away their second best wide receiver this past week so I’m counting them out. I’m picking the Panthers to win this game.
Cardinals (3-5) @ Seahawks (6-2) (4:05pm CBS)
In a game of angry birds I am taking the Seahawks to win this one. The Cardinals have placed QB Kylar Murray on IR so they'll be going with Jacoby Brissett. I’m still picking the Seahawks to win this game, who acquired Rashid Shaheed from the Saints this week.
Lions (5-3) @ Commanders (3-6) (4:25pm FOX)
Even though the Lions lost a divisional game last week I think they’ll bounce back and beat the Commanders this week. The Commanders season is over without their starting QB Jayden Daniels. I’m rooting for and picking the Lions to win this game.
Rams (6-2) @ 49ers (6-3) (4:25pm FOX)
The 49ers are underdogs at home per Vegas oddsmakers. They are pretty beat up but they won last week so they’ve got that going for them. I just hope this is a high scoring game because I have players on both teams in fantasy that I need points from. I’m going against the odds and picking the 49ers to win this game.
Steelers (5-3) @ Chargers (6-3) (8:20pm NBC)
I need a big Chargers game for fantasy purposes, therefore I am picking the Chargers to win this game. Also, also, I like seeing Aaron Rodgers lose.
Monday, November 10th
Eagles (6-2) @ Packers (5-2-1) (8:15pm ABC, ESPN)
The Eagles are coming off their bye and the Packers are coming off a humiliating home loss to the Panthers. I’ll be rooting for the Packers but the Eagles are favored to win this game. I’m picking the Eagles to win the game.
BYE WEEK: Bengals, Cowboys, Titans, Chiefs
GO G-MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the edit Eric!
