When Derrick Henry agreed to staff up with Lamar Jackson and be part of the Baltimore Ravens this previous low season, many had been excited to see what this duo might accomplish collectively.
As soon as once more, they confirmed opposing defences why it’s a pick-your-poison kind of method when attempting to defend in opposition to this Ravens offence. Making an attempt to cease Henry within the working sport is already a tricky job by itself, then it’s a must to deal with Jackson having the ability to beat defences each by way of the air and on the bottom.
In opposition to the Washington Commanders, the Ravens had 484 yards of offence, with Henry speeding for 132 yards and a pair of touchdowns and Jackson throwing for 323 yards and a landing whereas including 40 yards on the bottom. Regardless of the spectacular numbers, Jackson stopped wanting calling this Baltimore offence the very best within the NFL however that’s only a participant who doesn’t wish to put a ceiling on what this unit can obtain.
Additionally, for anybody questioning what Henry would have left within the tank as a 30-year-old who had heavy utilization throughout his time with the Tennessee Titans. Properly, it seems there’s undoubtedly loads left as he grew to become the second participant in NFL historical past to file over 600 speeding yards and eight-plus landing runs in his first six video games with a brand new staff, becoming a member of Eric Dickerson who did it in 1983.

Lions get revenge in Dallas however undergo a tricky blow
When the Detroit Lions had been at “Jerry World” to tackle the Dallas Cowboys final season, the sport had its fair proportion of controversy with a questionable penalty name that led to a win for the house staff.
This time round, the Lions had been going to depart little doubt as to who the higher staff is and it was an emphatic 47-9 win that despatched a message to everybody within the league. There was no space of the sport that Detroit didn’t dominate as they’d 492 yards of offence whereas the defence compelled 5 turnovers.
Quarterback Jared Goff recorded his second-straight sport with a passer ranking in extra of 150.0.
You already know issues are going properly to your staff when your offensive co-ordinator is getting off offensive lineman concerned within the play calls. The Lions tried to throw to Taylor Decker ultimately zone, however the cross was damaged up. Later within the sport, Detroit tried a hook-and-ladder from Amon-Ra St. Brown to Penei Sewell, but it surely was negated by a penalty.
After rising as a critical playoff contender final season, the Lions as soon as once more showcased their championship type. Sadly, the damage to star cross rusher Aidan Hutchinson might put a wrench in these plans.
Hutchinson was carted off the sphere and had surgical procedure for a damaged tibia that may hold him sidelined indefinitely, which now leaves Detroit with out its greatest defensive participant.
Jones gifted a Cowboys actuality examine on birthday
It’s a must to suppose the very last thing Jerry Jones wished to do on his 82nd birthday was speak about whether or not his head coach was on the new seat.
Sadly, that’s the fact Jones and the Cowboys discover themselves after a demoralizing effort that noticed followers depart AT&T Stadium after three quarters.
Dallas loved numerous success enjoying at dwelling final season, going undefeated and now it’s grew to become a home of horrors for this staff.
Of their final 4 video games at dwelling — together with their loss to the Inexperienced Bay Packers within the playoffs final season— the Cowboys have gone 0-4 and have been outscored 110-35 within the first half.
Heading into the bye week, Jones made it clear he has no intention of giving Mike McCarthy the boot.
“I’m not contemplating that hypothetical,” Jones informed reporters. “I’m not going to be hypothetical in contemplating a training change, and I’m in no way.”
Frankly, the blame for the place the Cowboys are ought to land on Jones’ shoulders, contemplating the decline this group has gone by way of with him in cost (no, we’re not simply speaking in regards to the distress from the final 18 years).
What was once a power with the Cowboys’ offensive line and working sport has now develop into a crutch. Quarterback Dak Prescott has essentially the most turnovers within the crimson zone and has been off-sync with CeeDee Lamb at instances.
Accidents to key defensive gamers in Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence, Marshawn Kneeland, DaRon Bland and Eric Kendricks present a handy excuse however that’s not the one situation to plague this staff.
Jones’ determination to carry off on paying Prescott and Lamb prevented the staff from going out and making strikes that may have helped his staff compete this season.
Sadly for the Cowboys, it’s going to be as much as the gamers to show issues round however latest video games in opposition to Tremendous Bowl contenders exhibits that this Dallas staff is nowhere near being on that stage.
Caleb Williams wanting like the true deal?
Often, a visit abroad to London just isn’t a simple adjustment for groups, however Williams was able to placed on a present.
With 4 touchdowns and 226 yards by way of the air, Williams is exhibiting regular enhancements to his sport with each passing week. In keeping with NFL Analysis, he grew to become the primary quarterback to go first general within the widespread draft period and to win 4 of his first six profession begins.
The Bears will go on their bye subsequent earlier than establishing a marquee showdown in opposition to No. 2 general decide Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders.
Not solely will that be a key take a look at to see how Williams stacks up in opposition to Daniels however it is going to additionally present if the Bears are trending in the proper route or nonetheless want some work earlier than they are often thought-about a playoff staff.
Maye impresses in debut regardless of loss
There was concern in regards to the New England Patriots throwing rookie Drake Maye into the hearth however he actually carried out higher than anticipated. Whereas it wasn’t excellent, he did end 20-of-33 for 243 yards, three touchdowns, two interceptions and one fumble.
It was the very best efficiency from a Patriots quarterback this season and it was not a simple matchup in opposition to the Houston Texans defence. He even earned some constructive evaluations from former high defensive participant J.J. Watt.
“If I’m a Patriots fan and I’m watching at present’s sport, sure, you misplaced and also you gave up a bunch of factors,” Watt mentioned about Maye. “However I’m inspired by the best way Drake Maye performed. I’m undoubtedly inspired going ahead that he’s a man that I can get enthusiastic about.”
The necessary factor for the Patriots is to try to enhance the safety round Maye after he was sacked 4 instances and that his confidence doesn’t get impacted if issues begin to go incorrect. This staff can’t afford to have one other first-round decide on a quarterback go to waste.
Fast hits
The Packers offence welcomed again Romeo Doubs with a two landing sport for the receiver who was reportedly not pleased together with his function within the offence… The Saints first sport with out Derek Carr was a wrestle with the defence permitting near 600 yards and haven’t misplaced 4 in a row… The Browns had possibilities to beat the Eagles however Deshaun Watson has appeared properly beneath common however Kevin Stefanski is sticking by his quarterback who’s hurting his staff greater than he’s serving to them.
