Best: Ja'Marr Chase, Wide Receiver Cincinnati Bengals
To say that this kid had himself a day would be one of the understatements of the century. Cincy pulled off a huge 34-31 win over Kansas City, and having to do it in come back fashion in the second half. Chase was a huge reason for that, and then some. He was targeted by Joe Burrow 12 times on Sunday, finishing with 11 catches for an eye popping 266 yards and three touchdowns. Those 226 were the 15th most in an NFL game during the regular season. Oh and the performance helped clinch the North for the Bengals. Good on ya man.
Worst: New York Giants Pass Attack
If this isn't rock bottom then honestly I don't know what is. It's bad enough that they got blown out 29-3 by the Chicago Bears on Sunday. To make it worse, the Giants had -10 passing yards on the day. no that is not a typo, yes that actually happened. The Giants had -10 passing yards on Sunday. Sure Sequan Barkley took some of that sting off with m102 rushing yards on the day, but Glennon was sacked four times for 30 yards and had a little over 20 yards passing on the day. Is that bad? It's not good.
Best: LA Rams Trades
Los Angeles came up with a big win on Sunday, to the tune of a 20-19 win over the Ravens. It was two mid season trades that the Rams made that paid off bigtime against the Ravens. First there's Odell Beckham, who had five catches for 39 yards including a big touchdown grab. That's now five TD grabs in seven games with the Rams, which is better than he had in 29 games with the Browns. Then there's Von Miller who had five tackles on the day, two of which for sacks. He now has nine tackles for a loss in seven games since joining the Rams. Both guys seemed to have turned their seasons around since going to LA, and the Rams are a much better team for it.
Worst: Antonio Brown, Wide Receiver Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Come on, there's no way this wasn't going to make the list. Yes the Bucs got the comeback win 28-24 over the Jets on Sunday, but it was without AB. He made a glorious exit from the ballgame tossing his gloves and undershirt into the crowd before coming off the field. Details of this and what exactly happened are still coming to light as the week has gone on. When it happened on the field live on Sunday at Metlife looked really bad for all parties involved and looks like it could be getting worse as time goes on. We may have very well seen the last of Brown on an NFL Field.
Best: Jalen Hurts, Quarterback Philadelphia Eagles
It wasn't pretty, but it was a win, and a big one for the Eagles at that. Philly beat Washington 20-16 and it helped them clinch at least a playoff spot. Even though he didn't find the endzone through the air, but he did throw for 214 on 17 of 26 passes. He was effective all afternoon and has been a steady hand under center this year in the city of Brotherly Love. He also ran the ball 7 times for 44 yards.
Worst: Miami Dolphins
A couple of weeks ago it had looked as like we were all starting to change our tune about Tua under center in Miami. Hell this Dolphin team looked like it could be one to make noise and make a serious threat run at the playoffs. That all went up in smoke following a 34-3 thumping at the hands of the Titans. This loss snapped the Dolphins eight game winning stream and may have snuffed out all hopes for a playoff push. As for Tua, he threw for just 205 yards and a pick as well as being sacked four times on the day. Next week now means nothing for Miami, who was eliminated from playoff contention with the loss
