Week Eight Good, Bad, and Ugly

Week Eight provided at least one upset when the Browns defeated the Ravens. Another kind of upset was the Raiders covering the spread against the Chiefs. The Rams came to life last week and three days ago they beat the Vikings by ten. But here are my good, bad, and ugly for Week eight:

 

Good: The Commanders winning on a Hail Mary at the end of the game. Quarterback Jayden Daniels showed me why he should be the offensive rookie of the year barring a setback or a strong showing in the second half of the season by Bears rookie QB Caleb Williams. Honorable Mentions: Lions conquering the Titans 52-14, Falcons beating the Buccaneers

Bad: The Raiders RedZone offense. After a Treyvon Moehrig interception that was returned to the Kansas City 3-yd line, they tried to punch it in four times and failed each time. It’s been an issue for them all season and a key reason why they are 2-6 and not 4-4 or better. Other Noteworthy Mentions: Jacksonville no-showing against the Packers (they lost by three), Dallas and New Orleans continuing their slides into football purgatory.

The Downright Ugly: The New York Jets. They are so dysfunctional it’s impacted their play on the field. The Patriots are the latest beneficiary of said dysfunction because they beat the Jets and now both of their records now stand at 2-6. Things are so bad with the Jets I’d like to know if there are any Jets fans who aren’t in or from the Big Apple.
