Best: C.J Stroud Quarterback Houston Texans
You, son, had yourself a day. Stroud is making a claim for Offensive Rookie of The Year. After getting off to a slow start, Stroud has found his game and in a big way the last few week. last weekend, Houston beat Tampa Bay 39-37 on a massive day from the rookie QB. Stroud went off, going 30 of 42 for 470 yards and five touchdowns. A lot of those yards came in the big moment situations against a decent Bucs defense. And Stroud has looked more comfortable in his game, throwing 14 TDs to just one pick in his last eight games. Yeah its safe to say that Houston may have found their guy.
Worst: New York Football
You know its bad for the teams playing at Melife Stadium when they are the two lowest scoring teams in the NFL. The Giants are last in the NFL in offensive TD's and the Jets are just ahead of them. Both teams got spanked last week. The Jets got whipped on Monday Night Football 27-6 by the Chargers, while the Giants fell to the Raiders 30-6 (more on that game in a second). The Giants are stuck with a third stringer under center and are 2-6, going nowhere fast. The Jets are still in the hunt for a playoff spot in the AFC, but if they don't get the offense figured out, and fast, they too will be on the outside looking in.
Best: Antonio Pierce Head Coach Las Vegas Raiders
We just touched on this game with the Raiders smacking the Giants around, to the tune of a 30-6 Vegas win. For Antonio Pierce this was a huge moment. he had just got promoted to interim Head Coach, and just in time to face his former team. Pierce played for the Giants from 2005 to 2009 winning a Super Bow with them in 2006. The Raiders played mistake free football and went to the ground and pound game with Josh Jacobs to great effectiveness. Oh and the defense forced the Giants into three turnovers. Well laid out gameplan for a first time head coach.
Worst: Bill Belichick Head Coach New England Patriots
It seems like each week, the bar keeps getting lower and lower for coach Bilichick. This time it comes after a 20-17 loss to the Washington Commanders. This time it was bad penalties at the worst time, and the timing seemed off all day for New England. This has been a very underwelming season by the standards that the Patriots had set for themselves over the years. For Coach Belichick, this his 24th season as the head man in New England, it has been one of his roughest. A lot of it falls on the players for not doing thier jobs. But some of it also falls on the coaches for not getting them prepaired as they should be.
Best: Josh Dobbs Quarterback Minnesota Vikings
Talk about stepping right in. First Kirk Cousins goes down with an Achillies injury for the season. Dobbs gets aquired five days ago in a trade with the Cardinals. Then Jaren Hall, who was starting on Sunday, goes down with a concussion early on. Dobbs steps in and does the thing. In a 31-28 Vikings win over the Falcons, Dobbs goes 20 of 30 for 158 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He did the same thing last year too when the Titans picked him up. Now that he had to take over, and got a win, here hoping he can keep it going under center against the Saints this weekend.
Worst: Seattle Seahawks
There had been some glimmer of hope out in Seattle. Some. But the way this season is going that is starting to fade for the Seahawks. Seattle got the tar beaten out of them to the tune of a 37-3 loss to the Ravens. It looked like the Seahawks could have gained some ground in the West cause the 49ers, Cardinals and Rams have all been playing below average football as of late. But what looked like a braekout year last year for Geno Smith has seen the rubber band snap back into his face this year. He threw another pick, giving him 13 in his last 15 games. He couldn't even get his QBR this week over 20. That's bad
