NFL - NEWS & NOTES

Wow look at Texans if Lions don't turns this around this could turn into a nasty beat down Lions 7 Texans 23 but can they that's the one million dollar question

 

12345 5 picks by Goff WTF

 

Well I have to give respect to the Lions for the comeback and win was very impressive Texans let a sure win get away they had control Texans 23 Lions 26 as a Vikings fan this sucks

 

AFC
1. Kansas City Chiefs (9-0)
2. Buffalo Bills (8-2)
3. Pittsburgh Steelers (7-2)
4. Houston Texans (6-4)
5. Baltimore Ravens (7-3)
6. Los Angeles Chargers (6-3)
7. Denver Broncos (5-5)

Ya everyone feels like they have a chance after Denver got blocked.

NFC
1. Detroit Lions (8-1)
2. Philadelphia Eagles (7-2)
3. Atlanta Falcons (6-4)
4. Arizona Cardinals (6-4)
5. Minnesota Vikings (7-2)
6. Washington Commanders (7-3)
7. Green Bay Packers (6-3)

Essentially the entire NFC West is next. And I guess Chicago but I will be royally shocked if the Bears win more than 2 games going forward this season. I'd sooner say they lose out.

 

Isn’t that a steak sauce by Lea and Perins

 

That was a definite tail of two half's. I wonders what in hell Dan Campbell said or did in the locker-room?

 

He told them that the Texans raped their wives and daughters.

 

Whatever he said it lit a fire cause it was a tail of two half's

 

Its real crazy that you can throw 5 INT's and still rally a win.

 

Hate to admit it, but that ex-coach from the team up North of me has the Chargers doing some good things right now. Herbert is getting very creative and how about that defense? Only 118 points against, surpassing the Steelers in PA.

 

The old man, Calais Campbell had a great game last night which made things even better for those playing around him. If Tua stays healthy and the D keeps getting better, they could make a run and be one of those 2-6 teams to make a WC, that would be cool to see.

The Dolphins' schedule could set the Dolphins up for a real exciting finish. Five of Miami's final eight games are against teams currently with three or fewer wins, but its do or die time already for them... maybe 1 or 2 more loses just might fry them fish.

Eagles held Cowboys and Giants to NFL’s only games this season with under 50 passing yards

Only two teams this season have been held to under 50 net passing yards in a game, and both of them played the Eagles.

On Sunday, Cowboys quarterbacks Cooper Rush and Trey Lance went a combined 17-for-29 for 66 yards, while taking three sacks for -17 yards against the Eagles, a net of 49 yards passing.

That would be the worst performance in the NFL this season if not for what the Eagles did to the Giants in Week Seven, when quarterbacks Daniel Jones and Drew Lock also combined to go 17-for-29, with 105 yards passing but 62 yards lost on eight sacks. That’s a net of 43 passing yards.

Those are the only two times all season that an NFL offense has finished with fewer than 50 net passing yards. The combination of the Eagles’ stout defense and the Giants’ and Cowboys’ offensive incompetence led to stats that you just don’t see in the modern NFL.

In fact, they were numbers that no one has ever seen in NFL history: Only two teams ever have completed at least 17 passes but netted fewer than 50 passing yards, and those were the Cowboys and Giants against the Eagles this season.

The Eagles are playing very good football right now — and are being helped by having two awful teams in their division.

The 9-0 Chiefs and 8-2 Bills face off in Buffalo on Sunday in one of the marquee games of the season. In fact, it’s one of the marquee games of any NFL season.

Sunday’s matchup will be just the fifth time since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger that two teams with at least eight wins played before Week 11, according to Field Yates of ESPN.

 

Chiefs’ Isiah Pacheco and Charles Omenihu both returning to practice this week

The Chiefs are getting healthier.

Both running back Isiah Pacheco and defensive end Charles Omenihu are being designated to return to practice in Kansas City this week, according to multiple reports.

It’s not clear if Pacheco or Omenihu will play on Sunday against the Bills, but both of them would be eligible to do so if the Chiefs decide to make them active by Sunday. The Chiefs can put back onto the active roster any time in the next 21 days.

Pacheco started the first two games of the season but fractured his fibula in Week Two and hasn’t played since. Omenihu was third on the Chiefs in sacks last season but tore his ACL 10 months ago in the AFC Championship Game.

Despite losing several significant players with injuries, the Chiefs are 9-0 and heading into Buffalo knowing that if they win on Sunday, they’ll be the overwhelming favorites to earn the AFC No. 1 seed, a first-round playoff bye and home-field advantage on their quest for an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl title.

Steelers OLB Alex Highsmith (ankle) to miss Ravens showdown

PITTSBURGH -- After sustaining an ankle injury late in the Steelers' Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders, outside linebacker Alex Highsmith will be out for Pittsburgh's opening divisional game Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.

Highsmith, who had an MRI on Monday, suffered the injury trying to avoid driving quarterback Jayden Daniels into the ground. Highsmith has a low ankle sprain, his father wrote in a social media post on X. Sam Highsmith added that his son didn't have any broken bones and would probably be out two to three weeks.

"Excited about getting [Highsmith] back to us ASAP, but he won't be available this week," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday. "But it makes it even cooler that we have a guy like Preston Smith under those circumstances. Pretty comfortable that [Nick Herbig] is going to be back this week. He was at the doorstep of it a week ago, so I think it's reasonable to be able to include him and some other guys that have missed some time."

It seems like the Steelers don't miss a beat
