NFL Game Reviews...Cont
NYJ 12:21 BUF
Tyrod Taylor (NUCK): 16/28 for 224yds 2TD 1Int, 8 Rush for 38yds: 18.8pts
LeSean McCoy (VAM): 22 for 110yds, 5Rec for 49yds: 18.4pts
Charles Clay (USOS): 4 Rec for 53yds 1TD: 13.3pts
This game was nearly as bad as it was expected to be, really the Bills dominated this game, the Jets were all bad, Taylor looked very good as did McCoy, and Clay was a clear TE1.
ATL 23:17 CHI
Tarik Cohen (NUCK): 5 for 66yds, 8Rec for 47yds 1TD: 21.3pts
Austin Hooper (IR): 2Rec for 128yds 1TD: 20.8pts
Jordan Howard (IR): 13 for 52yds 1TD, 3Rec for 14yds: 14.1pts
This game was actually very close, the RBs dominated for Chicago, Howards started poorly but got there in the end, Cohen was a TANK, on the Atlanta side it was a quiet night for Julio, but Hooper caught a 88yd TD bomb which helped them get home.
BAL 20:0 CIN
Ravens D (AY): 4 Ints, 5 Sacks, 1 Fum Rec, 0 Pts Allowed: 22pts
Terrance West (IR): 19 for 80yds 1TD: 14pts
Jeremy Maclin (AY): 2 for 56yds 1TD: 12.6pts
This game was dominated by the Ravens Def, Dalton ended on negative points and the Bengals got nothing going all game. West & Maclin's numbers aren't great, but the benefited from a solid defence helping them get through.
JAX 29:7 HOU
Jags D (FA): 10 Sacks, 1Int, 3 Fum Rec, 1 TD, 7 Pts Allowed: 29pts
Leonard Fournette (VAM): 26 for 100yds 1TD, 3 Rec for 24yds: 19.9pts
DeAndre Hopkins (IR): 7 Rec for 55yds 1TD: 15pts
This was another defence dominated game, the combo of a great run game and a huge defence effort saw Jacksonville home easily, Houstons OLine was horrible, but the offence was a lot better once Watson stepped onto the field, he will make Hopkins reliable again.
OAK 26:16 TEN
Derek Carr (VAM): 22/32 226yds 2TD: 18.7pts
Amari Cooper (GAUL): 5 Rec for 62yds 1TD: 14.7pts
Marcus Mariota (FAIR): 25/41 256yds, 3 for 26yds 1TD: 18.8pts
The Quarterbacks were the leaders in this game as they should be, Cooper dropped 3 passes in endzone (1 tipped, 1 off fingers, 1 overthrown), the Raiders Kicker was amazing, is the end of Seabass in Oakland, expect a retirement announcement this season.
IND 9:46 LAR
Rams D (LOHA): 4 Sacks, 2 Int, 1 FUM Rec, 2 TDs, 9 Pts Allowed: 30pts
Todd Gurley (RMTC): 19 for 40yds 1TD, 5 Rec 56yds: 18.1pts
Cooper Kupp (VAM): 4 Rec for 76yds 1TD: 15.6pts
This game was also led by defence, the Rams dominated a poor Indy OLine, and destroyed them all over the park. Gurey & Kupp were big beneficiaries of this and both ended up with a TD on the game.
SEA 9:17 GB
Jordy Nelson (VAM): 7 Rec for 79yds 1TD: 17.4pts
Ty Montgomery (NP): 19 for 54yds 1TD, 4 Rec for 39yds: 17.3pts
Aaron Rodgers (IR): 28/42 311yds 1TD 1Int, 7 for 21: 16.5pts
This game was a slugfest, both OLines had serious issues, the game was decided by ejections & injuries to the Seattle DEF meaning the GB players got going in the second half. Nelson looked really good, and Montgomery did OK as the lead back, 19 for 54 is still poor though.
CAR 23:3 SFF
Jonathan Stewart (GAUL): 18 for 65yds, 2 Rec for 17yds 1TD: 15.2pts
Russell Shepard (GAUL): 2 Rec for 53yds 1TD: 12.3pts
Pierre Garcon (USOS): 6 Rec for 81yds: 11.1pts
Carolina looked pretty good in this game, McCaffery was used in the backfield and in the slot, Benjamin & Funchess were very disappointing, Shepard looked good in limited snaps, has ability to be the field burner, with Samuel in middle And Stewart is the lead back, especially if they get a lead. Garcon is the lead Receiver in San Fran, but they will be looking to work Everett in there as well.
NYG 3:19 DAL
Dak Precott (RMTC): 24/39 268yds 1TD, 3 for 24yds: 17.1pts
Ezekiel Elliot (RMTC): 24 for 104yds, 5 Rec for 36yds: 16.5pts
Jason Witten (GAUL): 7 Rec for 59yds 1TD: 15.4pts
Dallas dominated this game, the Giants just couldn't do anything on offence and Zeke, Prescott & Witten taught them a lesson, the Giants Defence was good early on, but they started to tire as they were on the field all the time and unable to really stop the Cowboys.
NOS 19:29 MIN
Sam Bradford (NUCK): 27/32 346yds 3TD: 25.5pts
Stefon Diggs (NUCK): 7 Rec for 93yds 2TD: 24.2pts
Adam Thielen (AY): 9 for 157yds: 20.2pts
The Vikings Defence held the Saints to 4 Field Goals, bend don't break seemed to be the way in this game. While the Saints Defence could barely stop the Vikings, Cook on the ground, Thielen & Diggs in the air was all over them, Bradford had his best completion percentage in career history, just ended up dominating the Saints, the score was made to look good by a late Saints TD when down by 19, and the Vikes taking a knee in the redzone at the end of the game.
LAC 21:24 DEN
Trevor Siemian (USOS): 17/28 219yds 2TD 1Int, 6 for 19yds 1TD: 22.7pts
Bennie Fowler (USOS): 3 Rec for 21yds 2TD: 15.6pts
Melvin Gordon (NP): 18 for 54yds, 5 Rec for 25yds 1TD: 16.4pts
The Broncos were in charge in this game until they threw an Interception & Charles fumbled letting the Chargers score twice in a short amount of time, and it took a late FG to make sure they won the game at the end. Siemian looked pretty good, though incompletions were a little of an issue. Chargers were poor until that single period and Gordon looked good.
