.૨. Jets (Previous:) 2): And they are the first team to be officially eliminated from the playoff contest, one thing the Jets are able to do at the speed of sound.
.1. Jaguars () 0): RB James Robinson needs just 318 more yards from the squimage to break the rookie record (1,328) for an undefeated player set by Dominic Rhodes in 2001.
.0. Bengals (૨ 27): Injured Joe Burroughs replacement, second-year QB R Rin Finley, has never looked remotely capable at the NFL level, having completed his half-pass only once in five pro performances. Cincinnati may not be as competitive as the rest.
Eagles QB Carson Wentz is going through a difficult season.
28. Cowboys () 1): Nifty receivers have been in Dallas for decades. WR CD Lamb’s catches catches are already the highest for any cowboy rookie … although it wouldn’t have gone down the QB post prescott despite being crazy to think about the campaign.
27. Washington Washington (29): The offensive climbing QB is essentially consistent with Alex Smith’s return to the lineup. The WFT has scored 20+ points in four straight games for the first time in three years.
26. Lions (19): Sure, they couldn’t score on Sunday. But at least they didn’t look bad in the red zone … but only because they never got that much.
24. Texans (૨ 28): Watson from QB doesn’t get any MVP love … and yet it produces almost ensense% offense in Houston, so imagine what this team would be like without it.
23. Chargers (25): If you’re worried about the Samson issue after being shuffled by QB Justin Herbert by strength coach John Lott, it was … Rookie’s best day despite appearing 12 years without him. Helmet.
22. Bear (20): Green Bay draws a spiraling team trying to break a four-game skid, trying to make a decision between four injured and firmly averaged quarterbacks. What could go wrong?
21. Vikings (18): The right opportunity WR Justin Jefferson could become the sixth Minnesota player to be named this year’s offensive rookie during the Super Bowl era, which will be the most franchise.
20. Patriots (16): There was a time, running the ball effectively and playing solid defense was like a paradoxical situation. And yet this is the worst Patriots team in 20 years.
19. Broncos (24): The loom of the main roster questions given to the two top players of 2020, Emerging LT Garrett Boles and S Justin Simmons, is leading to a free agency.
18. Falcons (17): WR Calvin Lwin Ridley is set to be their first leading receiver, not Julio Jones … since Harry Douglas in 2013.
17. Panthers (21): It’s time to start talking about Sofmore de Brian Burns, who is quietly emerging as one of the league’s best young pass rushers.
16. 49ers (22): Necessary reinforcements can be made after a week – Rahim Mossart, Tavin Coleman and Debo Samuel, all on the basis of re-engagement in a stable offense.
15. Browns (15): Cleveland could be the first franchise to join the 1985 duo of Kevin Mack and Ernest Byner, with a great start, two pairs of one-season 1,000-yards, RBS with Nick Chubb and Karim Hunt.
14. Riders (13): Given how well they will play away from home (4-1 this season) they should have just become a traveling road show. They will visit the Falcons and Jets in the next two weeks.
1 .. Dolphins ()): “I expect it to be very difficult,” Rookie QB Tua Tagovaloa said of the NFL after his 3-0 start. As he digests his humble pie, Tua prepares for the Jets … who will probably re-establish his Habris.
12. Ravens ()): They have suddenly lost three out of four and in the short weeks since they had to move to Pittsburgh they have now been emptied by COVID-19. But Baltimore should be heavily favored in their final five games very soon to frighten.
11. Cardinals ()): First-rounder Isaiah Simmons is slowly starting to establish himself, recording his first bag on Thursday as his playing time finally leans upwards.
10. Seahawks (14): Great chance to cement the Play East venue, their next four games against East Coast teams – no more than three wins.
B. Bill (14): The AFC East lead over Miami gave the game a nice good bye week. But the defense that didn’t score more than 31 points in 2019 is still a concern. Buffalo has already been burned 32+ times four times in 2020.
Tit. Titans (11): RB Derrick Henry Hall is set to become the first player since Hall of Famer Ladenian Tomlinson to win a running title in 2007. King Henry is also at a speed of 1,726 yards on the ground, which would beat his personal superiority by about 200 yards.
Pac. PACKERS ()): The Green Bay fans have a tremendous reputation, so we’ll assume they were fictional owners who threatened to kill WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling after his backbreaking overtime erupted on Sunday. Ill.
6. Colts (10): Once I realized they were playing U2 to celebrate the win at Lucas Oil Stadium. Thanks, my professionalism took over for a change.
Uc. Buccaneers ()): Has anyone noticed that they have run less than 90 yards in more than half of their games? Passing weapons are flashy, but not as deadly, while crime is often unbalanced.
Ram. Rams ()): NFC out of the haphazard sixth place in the NFC with a landslide victory in Tampa. They entered No. 2 while giving the lead to West. But with four division games still to be played, many could change.
Sain. Saints ()): From the start of the 2019 season they are pretty notable to assume they are 6-0 without QB Drew Breeze. Notably though the defense has really moved forward, allowing just 16.8 points outing Sons Bryce.
. Chiefs (૨): They’ve scored at least 23 points in 24 consecutive games, including last year’s post-season … and that’s a league record. Books must fill the steps in front of this freight train on Sunday afternoon.
1. Steelers (1): Sweep the spoiled Baltimore team on Thanksgiving night, and the league’s second regular 16-0 regular season should really ramp up. Pittsburgh could be the NFL’s first 2020 playoff birth CV in Week 12.
