If you\u2019ve got 18-ish minutes and want to catch all the highlights from Sunday\u2019s NFL action, we at Scoop City have got you covered. Games are listed below in order of entertainment value.<\/p>\n
\u2018Buckle up\u2019 for Rico Dowdle<\/p>\n
If you love watching offenses beat up on awful defenses, the Panthers\u2019 thrilling 30-27 win against the Cowboys was for you. Panthers running back Rico Dowdle exacted revenge on his former teammates, leading his team in rushing attempts (30), rushing yards (183), receptions (4) and receiving yards (56).<\/p>\n
Chargers end skid<\/p>\n
Justin Herbert might be this generation\u2019s Andrew Luck, as\u00a0The Athletic\u2019s Daniel Popper noted before Sunday\u2019s thrilling win: \u201cLuck was hit 580 times in his six NFL seasons. Justin Herbert is on pace to be hit 625 times through his first six seasons.\u201d The Dolphins struggled to take Herbert down Sunday, and he led an impressive, game-winning drive before Cameron Dicker\u2019s field goal in the final seconds ended the game 29-27, Chargers.<\/p>\n
Strange teams, strange game<\/p>\n
Two Colts were injured pregame \u2014 Anthony Richardson was taken to the hospital with an eye injury and cornerback Charvarius Ward was concussed after running into a teammate \u2014 before their bizarrely narrow 31-27 win against the Jacoby Brissett-led Cardinals.<\/p>\n
Love the Drake<\/p>\n
Drake Maye, the Patriots\u2019 23-year-old quarterback, is three months younger than Cam Ward. Unfortunately, a beautiful ball to Stefon Diggs was called back, but Maye still proved how effortlessly he can throw an accurate 40-yard pass in New England\u2019s 25-19 victory in New Orleans.<\/p>\n
Baker for MVP?<\/p>\n
No healthy receivers, no problem for MVP candidate Baker Mayfield. Despite throwing to sixth- and seventh-string receivers Tez Johnson and Kameron Johnson, Mayfield willed Tampa Bay to a 30-19 victory against the 49ers while throwing for 256 yards and two passing touchdowns.<\/p>\n
The Chiefs still got it?<\/p>\n
Would missed opportunities on fourth downs, including a called-back Jared Goff touchdown catch (you read that right) and two drops, come back to haunt the Lions? If you missed the end of their game against the Chiefs, I won\u2019t spoil it. Watch above.<\/p>\n
I wish I drafted JSN<\/p>\n
Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued his ascent to superstardom while offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak continued to scheme him open looks. Smith-Njigba finished with eight receptions for 162 yards and a touchdown, as his chemistry with Sam Darnold remained immaculate. I\u2019m not proud to admit it, but JSN is on zero of my fantasy teams.<\/p>\n
Raiders top Titans<\/p>\n
Remember when we all agreed to ignore Trevor Lawrence\u2019s Urban Meyer-led rookie season? Titans\u2019 No. 1 pick Cam Ward deserves similar treatment. The Titans fell to 1-5 after Sunday\u2019s loss to the Raiders.<\/p>\n
Bengals start slow, show life late<\/p>\n
It was a slow start for Joe Flacco, but he was serviceable and got the ball to Ja\u2019Marr Chase (12 targets, 10 receptions for 94 yards and a touchdown). That was one of few positives for the Bengals during their 27-18 loss to the Packers, for whom Josh Jacobs had 150 total yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n
Steelers continue AFC North march<\/p>\n
After Sunday\u2019s 23-9 loss to the Steelers, the Browns\u2019 winless streak in Pittsburgh continues: Cleveland hasn\u2019t won in the Steel City since 2003, when Tim Couch led them to a 33-13 victory. That was the final season for Couch, who I was surprised to learn is the same age as Tom Brady.<\/p>\n
Rams stomp Ravens<\/p>\n
Puka Nacua was on a record-breaking pace before this Week 6 game in Baltimore. He exited Sunday\u2019s game with an ankle injury, suggesting the Ravens\u2019 injury woes are contagious. The 1-5 Ravens are on a bye next week, thankfully.<\/p>\n
Sorry about that, London<\/p>\n
Narrator: If you or someone you know has a football addiction, show them a full replay of this Broncos win over the now 0-6 Jets. Not only will they decide to watch less football, they might abstain from it entirely.
