The 11 lessons of Week 9: Justin Fields has officially changed dimensions

November 7, 2022

Justin Fields is not the same man anymore

Yesterday against the Dolphins, Justin Fields made NFL history by breaking Michael Vick’s record for most yards on the ground by a quarterback in a game: 178.

But where he has perhaps impressed the most is with his arm. Because if we knew that the quarterback of the Bears was capable of exploits in the race, it is especially his progress in the aerial game that catches the eye: 17/28 in the pass, 123 yards, 3 touchdowns, 0 interception.

Certainly, the playcalling of the Bears is designed so that Fields limits errors as much as possible, but we feel that he has really taken a big step in recent weeks. And now with a little more help thanks to the arrival of receiver Chase Claypool at the trade deadline, we can’t wait to see what happens next.

The Raiders Josh McDaniels version are unrecoverable

After the humiliation against the Saints a week ago (24-0 defeat), we expected a big reaction from the Raiders. That was the case for… a quarter and a half. Las Vegas actually started off against Jacksonville taking a 17-0 lead. The following ? A real disaster on both sides of the ball, and a 27-20 defeat in the end.

For the third time in just eight games, the Raiders let slip a 17-point advantage. It’s simply an NFL record (tied) in a single season, and there are still nine games to play. Result, Las Vegas is simply last in its division (2-6) at the time of these lines.

We know one who is not going to sleep well this week, huh Josh…

The Jets really have the answer

After the loss to the Patriots last week, we wondered if the Jets had missed their chance to play spoilsport this season. Zach Wilson had passed through, the absence of young running back Breece Hall was felt a lot, and all the momentum accumulated in the previous weeks had disappeared. But yesterday against the Bills, big heavyweight in their division, Robert Saleh’s men hit very hard.

While Buffalo quarterback and MVP candidate Josh Allen had a really tough afternoon against the very solid New York defense, we saw Wilson make a clean copy and the running game walk on Bills (174 yards at total). A winning formula for the Jets, who are more than ever to be taken seriously.

AFC (B)East

While the Jets achieved the feat of beating the Bills, the Dolphins chained a third victory in Chicago behind an ever-explosive Tua Tagovailoa – Tyreek Hill – Jaylen Waddle trio, while the Patriots made short work of the Colts.

After nine weeks of competition, the four teams of the AFC East thus show a positive balance sheet, with Buffalo in the lead (6-2) and New England to bring up the rear (5-4). If the NFC East is considered the best division in the NFL this season, the AFC East is slowly entering the discussion…

Joe Mixon has (finally) launched his season

Less visible than last year since the start of the season (only 432 yards on the ground and 3 touchdowns in the first eight games), Bengals running back Joe Mixon released all his frustration against the Panthers this Sunday with 153 yards on the ground, 58 on reception and above all 5 touchdowns scored (franchise record)!

Without injured receiver Ja’Marr Chase, Mixon was put back in the heart of the Bengals’ offense and delivered a Triple XL performance. What to consider a big second part of the season for the running back? Beginning of response in week 11, after the bye week of the Bengals.

It’s time to replace Aaron Rodgers with Jordan Love

It’s not us who say it, it’s the Packers fans themselves, at least some. And we can’t really blame them given yesterday’s fiasco in Detroit.

Against the worst defense in the NFL, Aaron Rodgers released one of his worst career games with no less than three interceptions (for only one touchdown) on the clock, including two in the Lions red zone. The Packers finished with just 9 points and are now on a terrible five-game losing streak.

After this new humiliation, it may be time to start 2020 first-round pick Jordan Love. Damn for damn, might as well focus on the future, right?

Yes, Tom Brady can still work miracles

The season is complicated for Tom Brady in Tampa Bay, but Tom Brady still has magic in his hands.

As the Buccaneers headed for another frustrating loss to the Rams yesterday, the GOAT pulled out the hero suit: in the space of 44 seconds and with no time-outs to hand, he came back 60 yards to allow his team to snatch a crucial victory. Like the good old times…

The Rams are the worst NFL team in fourth quarters

While Tom Brady played the heroes, the defending champion sank a little more into misery. As so often this season, the Rams got through their fourth quarter by giving up ten points in the final period without scoring a single one.

Some will point the finger at coach Sean McVay for his overly conservative playcalling in the last two minutes, others will target Matthew Stafford, the offensive line, the lack of running game or the defense. Choose your side but in the end, the conclusion remains the same: Los Angeles is catastrophic in the final period.

Over the whole season, according to StatMuse, the Rams conceded 71 points in the fourth quarter for only 10 scored. -61, it stings very hard.

Pat Mahomes is therefore the Chiefs’ best runner

If Pat Mahomes threw the ball 68 times (!) against the Titans, it was with his legs that he took the Chiefs to an overtime victory against the Titans. A race of 20 yards on a 3rd and 17, another 14 for the touchdown of the equalizer, and a final one to validate the two-point conversion. In total, Mahomes ran for 63 of… Kansas City’s 77 yards on the ground.

If the exploits of the 2018 MVP continue to fascinate us, the one-dimensional side of the Chiefs’ attack and the lack of protection around Mahomes (4 sacks yesterday) are cause for concern for the future. Neither Clyde Edwards-Helaire, nor Isiah Pacheco, nor Jerick McKinnon were convincing enough to allow Kansas City to have more balance with the ball.

The Vikings have passed their trade deadline…

Dropping second and third round draft picks to recover Lions tight end TJ Hockenson at the trade deadline, the Vikings saw their aggressiveness rewarded. With 9 receptions for 70 yards (including three on the winning drive), the former Pro Bowler wasted no time in impacting his new team, which now has a 7-1 record after its narrow success in Washington.

… and are the kings of the celebration

STRIKE!
