Hebron jumps to score the game winner
Eric Ebron was brought to Pittsburgh to threaten Big Ben in the red zone, and that was when the Steelers needed him the most. Ebro caught the ball in the flat before the defender leap-frogged and vultured in the end zone.
Juju occupied the drive full time
When the Statilers needed him the most, he saw his 2018 when Juju Smith-Schuster couldn’t quite stop on a scoring drive for Pittsburgh. After several receptions to get the Steelers into the area of Dallas, Smith-Schuster finished things up with a 31-yard TD toward the middle.
The killer was shining on the TV run
Killer Murray showed exactly how difficult it is to face in the open field, taking the lead for his cardinals on this impressive run in the open. Murray may not be the NFL’s fastest quarterback, but a strong case may be that he is the fastest.
The car goes to Agholor again
Talk about a career revival! Nelson Agholor made himself completely new as a deep unda-ball threat during his first year with the Las Vegas Raiders. Derek Carey dialed the third and long shot game to kick the second half.
Big Ben fought by injuring for key TD
After taking a huge hit to his knees a few plays that eventually require Ben Rothlisberger to go to the locker room at the beginning of the half, joined James and Washington on the P-te-go-TD pass and joined James and Washington in Washington. Get the Steelers within a score.
Herbert attacked Allen
Since Justin Herbert took charge of the Chargers quarterback, Keenan Allen has been targeted more than any other receiver in the entire NFL. That didn’t change in Week 9. Herbert found Allen who was released during the coverage break and the rest was history.
Belez comes on board early with a new team
The Chargers are churning out new bodies every week on the RB status since losing Austin Eckler. This week, Cullen Belage landed on the board early with a TD run. Anthony Lin from Kudos and he is the back room to find the product of many different players.
The dolphins again form a defensive TD
For the second straight week, Miami landed on board with a defensive touchdown. Last week, they formed several defensive and special teams TD to alleviate the discomfort against the Rams and they are now trending in the same direction.
Luton draws an almost miraculous comeback
Jack Luton started the career with a miraculous spinning rushing touchdown to get the world in a two-point transformation of building the game by pulling an incredible comeback early. In Luton he may have a little gardener Minsheh magic.
Mr. King, welcome to the Titans
In his first game with the Titans through a trade with the Chargers, defensive back Desmond King made this mess and took it home – a game-changing game in this defensive snail.
Fuller walks into the 77-yard home
Will Fuller threatens to take him home whenever the ball touches him and that is what happened against the overmade Jaguars defense this week. Deshaun Watson felt fuller for the deep ball and the rest was history.
Engram lays for TD
Daniel Jones connects the seam on a TD throw with Evan Engram. Dialing Engram on a seam pass is exactly what the Giants fans want and they finally got it. Engram also caught the ball this time.
Abdullah flew to Hawaii for TD
Remember a few years ago when Aamir Abdullah was going to be the sleeper breakout RB of fictional football? Sure, it never came to fruition, but it did create one of the most impressive personal plays of the early slate on this TD.
Tenhill hits Brown on a deep shot
Ryan Tennyhill put a perfect one at the top to give the Titans their only score of the first half. The two have developed an incredible connection.
Ravens scoop and score
Jotia RB Jonathan Taylor has been sledding something since the start of his NFL career. After losing to Jordan Wilkins last week, Taylor started the Colts this week, but Wilkins and Nheim Hines, who were knocked out by the Ravens and scattered in goals, took the lead in the next series.
No ridley, no problem
Calvin Ridley may be out, but the Falcons passing game is in early rolling. Matt Ray is paired with Olamide Zacius for a 51-yard TD on a fully thrown pass.
McCaffrey scored in the first game
The Panthers couldn’t get Christian McFarla back exactly as relaxed. On an early fourth-down gutsy call by the Panthers, Teddy Bridgwater read the blitz from Ray Kansas City and left a touch pass over the make-over cafરી for the walk-in TC for TC.
Cooks retrieves the textons in it
The follow-up to Luton’s bomb TD was Brandin Cook, running after TD’s catch. Cooks’ explosiveness in the open field was in full display on this TD.
Luton, welcome to the NFL!
The Jaguars rookie is impressing the coaching staff at QB Jack Luton practice and so Jacksonville turned to him to see what a rookie is. On his second career NFL pass, Luton seeded 73 yards to DD Chark for a TD. Lute threw the ball to the line and he pushed Chark forward. Looks like the same NFL-caliber arm talent.
The first round of fantasy buses returns
If you’ve used your first-round picks in your fantasy football drafts on Christian McFarlane or Michael Thomas, you’re likely not in the first place right now. But there is good news around the corner. Both McFarry and Thomas will return to action today for the Panthers and Saints, respectively. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Panthers plan to rotate McCaffrey and Mike Davis, but we’ll assume that when we see him – we think he’ll be more sports script based.
