And that was just the start of the problems. Rodgers was running for his life all night long. He finished the game having been sacked five times and was obviously struggling to get into rhythm with his receivers due to the lack of protection up front. It was ugly. Early on, it was clear that Jimmy Garoppolo was working hard to not make any big mistakes.
However, he got into a bit of a groove in the second quarter, starting when he connected with Deebo Samuel on a yard touchdown. That big play seemed to loosen up the entire offense. Then in the third quarter, the game was blown wide open when Garoppolo found Kittle wide open deep down the middle of the field for a second touchdown.
All told, the veteran completed of passes for yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions. Meanwhile, the Patriots' offense had yet another rough day at the office. Rookie signal caller Mac Jones had his second straight two-interception game while going 14 of 32 for yards. The Bills and Pats now have identical records, but Buffalo holds the tiebreaker.
How about giving up a point lead to a third-string QB who also knocks you out of playoff contention? After building a lead heading into the final 15 minutes, the Seahawks gave up a field goal, missed a field goal of their own, then let up a touchdown with left in the game. Instead of kicking the extra-point to tie the game, the Bears elected to go for two and were successful, giving them a one-point lead with a minute left in the game.
Bears take the lead with the two-point conversion! Russell Wilson and Co. This is just the second time in the Wilson era that the Seahawks will miss the playoffs. The No. Jefferson finished the day with eight catches for yards, giving him a total of 2, receiving yards so far in his career. If that was the mood in the locker room before Sunday's loss, it's tough to imagine things getting better soon.
Jalen Hurts has a year to prove he is the guy the Philadelphia Eagles want to lock in as their long-term quarterback. He made a pretty good case for himself, throwing for yards and 3 scores. He added another 62 yards on the ground to cap off a dominant win over the Atlanta Falcons.
It's only one game, but if Hurts can keep the momentum rolling, he could secure his future in Philadelphia. After the Eagles' disastrous deal with Carson Wentz ended with him being traded for pennies on the dollar in the offseason , it's a welcome development.
In with the Buccaneers, Winston led the league in passing and threw for more touchdowns than every quarterback aside from MVP Lamar Jackson. He also led the league in interceptions that year with 30 - nine more picks than any other quarterback. If Winston can keep the good parts and avoid the mistakes, he could be in for a big year with the Saints. Completing just 15 of 28 passes for yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions, Rodgers had a QB rating of Further, he made mistakes that were uncharacteristic of his now-expected greatness.
I can't remember the last time he missed a throw this badly. Rodgers joked that the brilliant season he had in ruined his plans to leave Green Bay in the offseason. Maybe Rodgers decided to make sure he could make a run for it after On Sunday, Seattle showed that they are once again ready to let Russ cook, with Wilson throwing for yards and 4 touchdowns while completing 18 of his 23 passes, including this gorgeous deep ball to Tyler Lockett.
In the offseason, the New York Jets dumped Sam Darnold off to the Carolina Panthers, choosing instead to put their fortunes in the hands of rookie quarterback Zach Wilson. Darnold got to make the Jets pay for their decision the very first week of the new season, leading the Panthers to a win over hid old team behind a solid stat line of yards and a touchdown. Congratulations, Sam. Revenge surely tastes sweet. Being a Washington football fan is hard enough.
