Christian McCaffrey made his full impact felt for the 49ers, Trevor Lawrence and Derek Carr sagged, and the Falcons moved into first place with a bonkers win.
As it stood, Mariota led the Falcons down the field after Pineiro’s smother-hook miss from 33. Younghoe Koo was true from 41, pushing the Falcons into first place in the NFC South at 4-4. The 3-5 Buccaneers’ spiral has left the division without any credible contenders or any teams with a positive point differential. For now, after a preposterous game, the Falcons stand atop the heap..
Lawrence threw an interception on first and goal from the 1, a continuation of how careless he has been with the ball. He couldn’t even get a game-winning drive going before throwing an interception late in the fourth quarter. He missed key throws throughout the game even as Travis Etienne rushed for 156 yards.Lawrence was billed as a generational prospect, but his raw physical tools in the NFL have been more solid than spectacular.
Brown has provided the star wideout Philadelphia lacked, allowing DeVonta Smith to be an overqualified No. 2 rather than an underqualified No. 1. Hurts deserves full credit for his improvement at quarterback, but Brown has made all the pieces of the Eagles’ explosive offense fit. Given how wide receiver pay is exploding, his four-year, $100 million contract extension already looks like a massive bargain..
The Raiders can get out of the contract after this season for only $5.6 million in dead cap money, according to. Assuming he can make the choice independent of ownership, McDaniels may want to find his own quarterback rather than tying what will probably be his final head coaching opportunity to an immobile quarterback who turns 32 in March.
