Best & Worst NFL Week Fourteen

Week fourteen has come and gone in the NFL. We now hit the final full month of the season and we getting ready for the playoff push. Key injuries have started to come into play, like the Colts now down their quarterback. We saw some great games on the week, including a fun rivalry renewal between the Bears and Packers. We got teams stepping closer and closer to playoff spots, while others are losing their grip on said spots. With all that being said, here's some of the best, and worst, from week fourteen.

Best: Shedeur Sanders, Quarterback Cleveland Browns
A little weird to see this in the winners column with the way the game actually ended, but there is a reason that this is here on this side of this list. IT was the best performance of Sanders early career. Sure it came in a losing effort, but that was only because the Browns couldn't convert on a game tying two pointer late. Sanders was really good on the day. Three carries for 29 yards and a touchdown to complement his 24 of 42 performance for 364 yards and oh year three touchdowns through the air. Look sure the Browns are 3-10 on the year. But there are two things that are giving the Cleveland fans a little bit of hope. Myles Garrett going after the single season sack record, and performances like this from Sanders that give you hope you may (key word there) finally have something under center.

Worst: Chiefs Playoff Hopes
When this season started, there had been a large sense of hope in Kansas City. But that hope hasn't panned out this season as the Chiefs are now a game under .500 following a 20-10 loss at home to the Texans. And it's nothing really special that Houston's defense does. They just play a tight coverage defense, something that KC had no answer for. It also doesn't help that the Kansas City offensive line looks like a MASH unit, leaving Mahomes out to dry. With the way things have looked over the last month or so, the hopes of them making the post season are starting to slip and fast.

Best: Buffalo Bills Late Game Heroics
Buffalo was one of the heavy favorites to be a serious threat in the AFC this season. They've stumbled at times early this year and trail New England in the standings. but what happened on Sunday against Cincinnati reminded a lot of people that the Buffalo Bills are still, in fact, a threat. The Bills walked away with a 39-34 win over Cincy and that was mostly done thanks to that little 21 point 4th quarter. A lot of those 21 points coming in the final five minutes of the ballgame. A chunk of those points came thanks to the Bills picking off Joe Burrow not once but twice. Only time will tell if this is the real Bills or just a sort of flash in the pan. If this actually the Bills then watch out, they are going to be very dangerous.

Worst: Ravens Playoff Hopes
There was some level of hope in Baltimore going into this year that they would not only be a playoff team, but go on another solid run. Those hopes are starting to slip a little. Baltimore has now lost two in a row to fall to 6-7 on the year, following a 27-22 loss to the Steelers at home. The defense made Aaron Rogers feel a little more like he found his game again, while the Ravens offense for whatever reason can't get in sync with itself and get back on its game again. If Baltimore wants to have any hope at either a division title or even a playoff spot, then the offense needs to find itself again. Heck if Lamar can even start to show flashes of his old self and come close to playing at something resembling an MVP level, that would be massive for the Ravens and trying to get back to the promise land.

Best: Titans Running Game
A big day for the Titans to pick up their second win of the season. It was a solid effort in a 31-29 win over the Browns. We touched on it earlier with what Cleveland did with Sanders under center. But the big key in this game is and was going to be the running game for the Titans, which really carried things on the day. 35 carries for 185 total yards on the ground and a good job of the Titans controlling the clock. A lot of that had to do with the outstanding play of Tony Pollard. HE alone had 25 carries for 161 yards and a pair of touchdowns. This was a great day in what has otherwise been a lowly season in the music city.

Worst: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
There was a lot of hope going into this season for the Bucs coming out of the NFC South. They started the season off right, going 5-1 early on. Since then, they've only won two games since then, and now sit at 7-6. This is coming off au upset 24-20 loss to the New Orleans Saints. That loss now put them in a tie with the Carolina Panthers on the top of the South. Play on Sunday can't just be placed on the weather conditions in Tampa. Baker Mayfield just wasn't very good and their defense couldn't really stop the Saints. Now the schedule over the final five games, which looked at one point thought to be a cake walk, is very different. Those two games over the final three weeks of the season with the Panthers now looms even larger.

Polar Bear Leaving Queens

The end of an era has come in Queens. One of the more beloved players in New York Mets franchise history, Pete Alonso, has moved on. Alonso opted out of his contract at the end of the season, hitting the free agent market. There was some hope around the team that Pete would come back to Queens on a long term deal, becoming a Met for life. That didn't happen, as Alonso has signed a five year deal worth $155 Million to go play for the Baltimore Orioles.

There's a lot to take in from all of this.

From a Baltimore point of view, adding a guy of Alonso's talent to that lineup makes the O's an even bigger threat in an already tough and very competitive AL East. Think about it, last year they finished 5th in the AL East. Now they add a guy who can drive in a ton of runs and is a master at the long ball. So keep an eye out for the O's this season as being a big threat in this division.

Pete is a .253 lifetime hitter. He drove in over 100 runs four times in his six full seasons in the majors, and smacked over 30 home runs in his six full seasons (not counting the 2020 covid year). For the Mets franchise in his seven years, he entered the top ten in several offensive categories. He's the all time leader in home runs (264), 3rd in RBI's (718), 14th in hits (951), 12th in Doubles (183), 14th in walks (419). We could keep going on and on over this.

And it stings what has happened to the Mets over the last couple days, or even weeks. First the trade of Nimmo to Texas for Marcus Semien. Then Edwin Diaz signs a big deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and now this with Alonso. So now the two big stars in the Mets lineup are Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor. Nothing wrong with either guy, if they can both keep producing. But that's not going to be anywhere near enough. The New York Mets have, to this point, taken a major step backwards. Instead of building off the NLCS appearance two seasons ago, they got one good year pout of Pete, chocked away the playoffs last summer (after signing Soto), and now this.

I, for one, am not totally surprised by any of it. Alonso could feel like he was slighted by the Mets not getting a big contract two years ago, so he signed the deal he did, had the big year, and left. Yes, there is a lot more work to be done in this offseason. But let's be totally honest here. Steve Cohen said World Series within five years after buying the team. He had his five years and the deep run two years ago was as close as the team got. Last year was a disaster, None of the issues from last season have been addressed and three of the Mets top players are gone to different teams.

Things had better start turning around and fast, because if they don't.......it's not going to end well for Mets management.

Best & Worst NFL Week Thirteen

Week thirteen has come and gone around the National Football League, and what a week it was. The Thanksgiving slate lead to upsets galore. The windy city saw two of its back go off (even if it was in a losing effort). We had one team prove that being an underdog again doesn't really mean a thing. Big game comebacks from injury was on display as well. So lets dive right into it. Here's the best, and worst, from the NFL in week thirteen.

Best: Chicago Bears Running Game
This was a big day for the Bears running attack. I mean a BIG day. Chicago won in Philly 24-15 and a lot of it was thanks to the 255 yards gained on the ground. That was from two guys. D'Andre Swift had 125 yards and Kyle Monangai ran for 130 yards. Each guy scored a touchdown a piece. That's a major day if I ever saw one.

Best: Adonai Mitchell, Wide Receiver New York Jets

When the Jets picked him up, he was seen as mostly a throw in with the Jets sending Sauce Gardner to the Colts. There wasn't much in the way of expectations. The Jets are looking to find a secondary target behind Garrett Wilson when he does come back. Mitchell took a step in that direction with his performance on Sunday in the Jets surprising 27-24 win over the Falcons. Mitchell hauled in eight catches for 102 yards and a touchdown. Those 102 yards are a new career high for the second year receiver, and almost half of his total from his rookie year with the Colts.

Best; Joe Burrow, Quarterback Cincinnati Bengals
Welcome back Joe Burrow. In his first game back from injury, he'd been out with a bad case of Turf Toe. His first game back, Burrow lead the Bengals to a healthy 32-14 win over the Ravens. Him throwing 46 times was a bit much for his first game back, but he did complete 24 of his passes for 261 yards. Oh and he also throw for two touchdowns. The numbers weren't the most eye popping but it was more from an emotional standpoint having Burrow back under center that was the booster for the team. If BUrrow can keep putting up better numbers then this could be what is needed to get the Bengals back on track.

Worst: Max Brosmer, Quarterback Minnesota Vikings
It's tough enough coming into a start on the road. It's even worse when its against one of the hottest teams in football in the form of the Seattle Seahawks. It was Brosmer's first NFL start and it did not go well. Not only did Seattle come away with a 26-0 win, but Max had a day, to say the least. The thought process was that maybe sitting down JJ McCarty would help the Vikings try and get back on track. Yeah that notion went sideways when Brosmer threw four interceptions. It's not all on the kid for coming under pressure with JJ out, but this kind of start didn't instill much confidence.

Worst: Eagles One Two Punch
When you think of the Eagles offense, you think of Hurts and Barkley. The Eagles rolled into their Black Friday game with the Bears on an 8-3 run. Chicago came in and beat up the Champs, walking away with a 24-15 win. Barkley and Hurts were both quiet. Hurts threw for 230 yards sure, but he went 19 of 34, leading for a 19.4 QBR. And then Barkley, who's one of the leading backs in football, was held to just 56 yards on the ground. This also marks the 11th time in 12 games this season he's failed to reach a 100 yard game on the year. IF the Eagles want to go back on a deep playoff run, they need these two guys to start playing better.

Worst: Aaron Rogers, Quarterback Pittsburgh Steelers
There was some hope when the Steelers brought Aaron Rogers on board that they would be able to turn back the hands of time. They took the field at home against Buffalo and laid a total egg. The Bills won 26-7, but then again the Bills are a really good team. Rogers went 10 for 21 for just 117 yards. The Steelers as a team gained a total of 166 yards on the day. Pittsburgh had kept it close till Joey Bosa got to Rogers and caused a fumble that was returned to the score. It was a bad day for the former MVP

Big Trade In Queens

The offseason has started off with a bang for the New York Mets. A very big bang. The New York Mets sent outfielder Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers in exchange for second baseman Marcus Semien.

There's so much to take in from this trade on Monday night.

Brandon Nimmo is going to be a huge addition to the Rangers outfield. He joins Wyatt Langford  and Evan Carter as the potential starting outfield for Texas. It's adding a good glove in the outfield and a solid bat to a team that finished at .500 last year and ended the year as a third place team in the AL West. Nimmo is coming off a career year last year with 25 homers and 92 RBI to add to what could possibly be a decent team next season that will improve in Texas.

Going back to New York is Marcus Semien, who is coming off a down year at the plate last year. HE had a very off year in Texas last season a few years after signing a massive deal with the Rangers back in 2021. The offensive numbers might not be there, at least they weren't at the end of last season. What makes up for it is his play in the field/ He's still a very good defensive second baseman, a spot in which the Mets have been trying to address for a couple seasons now.

There's still a few other issues the Mets need to address this offseason. Closer, and first base are the primary holes that now need to be looked at. But the one at second base, at least in theory, is taken care of by adding Semien to the mix. There's still work to be done by the Mets to improve on last years club, but this could be a start.

Nimmo did so much and gave so much of himself to this Mets franchise. Both on and off the field. He as a big presence in the community, doing quite a bit of charity work for the team and his community. You could tell he loved what he did away from the field. And on the field he had as much of an infectious personality that rubbed off on a lot of his teammates.

Does it sting to lose Nimmo? Sure it does. But as the old saying goes, you have to give something to get something/

Best & Worst NFL Week Eleven

Another week down around the National Football League, and what a week it was. We not even two thirds of the way through the season and what we saw last week looked almost like a playoff preview. Buffalo pulled it off in a wild one at home against Tampa. How about Chicago, by some late game heroics, walking away with its seventh win in eight weeks. There was so much to dive into from last weekend, lets not waste any more time. Here's some of the best, and worst, from the week that was in the NFL.

Best: Josh Allen, Quarterback Buffalo Bills
There was some that were looking at this game between the Bills and Bucs as a possible big game preview. And it turned out that was as Buffalo walked away with a 44-32 win at home, thanks in large part to the MVP level play of Josh Allen. This isn't going to be a typo, this actually went down. Josh Allen finished the day with a total of six touchdowns. He ran for three of them (on six total carries for 40 yards), and of course threw for three of them (going 19 of 30 for 317 and a couple of picks). He spread the ball around to ten different receivers on the day, keeping the Tampa defense on its heels all day long. Josh is starting to find a rhythm, if he can keep it up it will be a big boost for the BIlls going on a deep playoff run. 

Worst: Sam Darnold, Quarterback Seattle Seahawks
It is a fair statement to say that, for the most part, 2025 has been a good year in Seattle for Sam Darnold. This went out to prove that what we saw last year out of Sam in Minnesota was no fluke. However, in the Seattle 21-19 loss to the rival Rams, it kind of went a little backwards for Darnold. Sure, he threw for 279 yards, which is a pretty impressive number. But he only went 29 of 44 to reach those yard totals. Oh yeah, he threw four picks on the day too, and wasn't able to toss a touchdown pass. The turnover problem plagued Sam early on in his career, and it picked a bad time to rear its head again this week. Hopefully for him, and the Seahawks, it was just a one off bad week.

Best: Bryce Young, Quarterback Carolina Panthers
To be fair, when you think of the Panthers offense this season, it is the running game that gets talked about. And that's with fair reason. But on Sunday, in a 30-27 win over division rival Atlanta, it was Young and the passing about that was the talk of the day. He was sacked five times, which was the only downside to his game. But the upside was the rest of it. Going 31 of 45 for 448 yards and three touchdowns. Those 448 yards became a franchise record and lead them to a big win. It kept Carolina within striking distance of the Bucs, just one game back of Tampa for the division.

Worst: Kansas City Chiefs Magic
Usually when you think of the Kansas City Chiefs, you can generally hold out some hope that they are going to have some late game magic in them at any given week. Look at what they managed to do last year, going 15-2 and win a lot of their one score games. IN fact, they had gone on a 17 game winning streak in one score games. This year, they sit at 5-5, following a 22-19 loss to the Broncos in Denver. This year, they are 0-5 in those one score games.  I only make this note as we are a month and a half or so out from the start of the post season. With that, Kansas City doesn't seem to have quite the same mojo they once did. If they want to have any chance of a deep playoff run, they need to get it back.

Best: Sean Tucker, Running Back Tampa Bay Buccaneers
We touched on it earlier with the matchup between the Bucs and the Bills in Buffalo. Yes, it turned out to be a crappy afternoon for the Bucs and their fanbase, but it wasn't for lack of effort on the part of running back Sean Tucker. With Bucky Irving still being out, this was Tucker's chance to take advantage of more opportunities, and he took every bit of it. Tucker finished the afternoon with 20 total touches on the day, 140 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns. Two of the three came on the ground, thanks to 19 carries for 109 yards. He added another score thanks to two catches for 34 yards. He was as much of a factor in this game, almost pulling this one out and out performing Josh Allen.

Worst: Jalin Hyatt, Wide Receiver New York Giants
There had been some potential for Hyatt in the Giants passing attack. The former third round pick was expected to be a factor for the G-Men in that pass attack. New York managed to hang around with the Packers the entire day, before Green Bay walked away with a 27-20 win. The Giants had a shot late to tie the game, but Hyatt made a critical mistake, stopping short on a corner route in the endzone that allowed for the pass to be picked off. Sure, Hyatt took the heat for it in the postgame, and he took full accountability. but the chances of him getting a shot again to really make an impact with this Giants team may have just faded with that mistake.

Best & Worst NFL Week Nine

Week nine has come and gone in the NFL. It was a strange week, to say the least. Green Bay shockingly went cold, meanwhile Joe Flacco never seems to age. Even with dealing to an injury to CJ Stroud, Houston nearly came all the way back against the Broncos. There were a lot of fireworks that went off last week. And here's a look at some of the best, and worst, of week nine in the NFL.

Best: Brian Flores, Head Coach Minnesota Vikings
It is clear to anybody with a pair of eyes that the Minnesota Vikings have taken a bit of a step back from the team we saw a season ago. Minnesota was able to get themselves back to .500 with a 27-24 win over the Lions, a very impressive win at that. The offense didn't blow you away with their performance, but it was good enough to get the job done. What really impressed here was what the Vikings defense was able to do to the Lions running attack. Detroit was held to just 65 yards on the ground the entire day. Detangling the Lions' intricate offense allowed the Vikings to tee off on Jared Goff, who took five sacks as the offense converted just five of 17 third-down attempts. Credit has to go to the coaching staff and Brian Flores for being able to dial up the defense to not only shut down Detroit, but allow his own offense to be able to do what it had to do to put points on the board. Hats off to Flores for pulling it off.

Worst: Zac Taylor, Head Coach Cincinnati Bengals
The coaches can only call the plays, they can't make the players execute what is called. But what has gone down as of late for the Bengals, the seat for coach Zac Taylor has to be getting a little bit hotter by the week. In the Bengals 47-42 loss to the Bears, the team has given up over 500 yards for the third time this season. I know its not the same without Joe Burrow under center in Cincy. But even with a guy like Joe Flacco, who is somehow turning back the hands of time, scoring over 40 points for you and you still can't win. That's a big problem. Yes its on the Defense, but it also falls on the head coach as well for not getting his players in the right place and getting them to stop the opposition, its not going to do a damn bit of good. It falls on the coach.

Best: Rico Dowdle, Running Back Carolina Panthers
There's great running performances, then there's what Dowdle ahs done for Carolina the last two weeks. He's gone for a franchise record 473 yards from scrimmage over the last two weeks. This week, in the Panthers 16-13 win over the Packers, it was a big day from Rico to help power it. He had two catches for 11 yards, but more of note, he finished with 25 carries for 130 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Look at his numbers over the last five weeks. He has more than twenty carries in a game, he gets over 130 or more yards on the ground. It means one thing for the Panthers. You want to have a chance at a win, feed Rico the ball.

Worst: Patrick Mahomes, Quarterback Kansas City Chiefs
For whatever reason, Mahomes hasn't had luck against the Bills during the regular season. During the playoffs, when it really matters most, Mahomes gets the job done. but during the regular season, it's a much different story. Mahomes has now lost five straight games during the regular season against Buffalo. The Bills won 28-21 and Yes Mahomes threw for 250 yards, which is a good day for most. But it was a rough day for Mahomes. Buffalo's defensive front hit Mahomes more than a dozen times, sacking him thrice, and the secondary did its part, too, with Maxwell Hairston snagging a game-sealing pick. He took a bit of a beating. But there's a chance they could meet again come the playoffs, where it could be a totally different story.

Best: Cam Little, Kicker Jacksonville Jaguars
Being a kicker in the National Football League can be a bit of a fickle thing. At times you can be a hero, as was the case with Cam Little of the Jaguars. 46 times in NFL history has a kicker nailed a kick from 60 yards or more. Little became the 46th name on that list. he had hit one from 70 yards out, but that was during the preseason. On Sunday, he set the NFL record with a 68 yard kick in a 30-29 overtime win by the Jags over the Raiders. Which comes as a nice surprise considering he missed a couple of kicks over the last two weeks. But hitting this kick more than made up for it.

Worst: Parker Romo, Kicker Atlanta Falcons
While we have had guys hitting big kicks, we have the other end of the spectrum and Parker Romo. Romo had a bit of a tough situation, taking over for Younghoe Koo in Atlanta. And he started off great, hitting five straight kicks to start his time in Atlanta. Then the rug was kind of pulled out from under him. He missed three field goals since then. One of them was a huge extra point that was missed that proved to be the difference in Atlanta's 24-23 loss to New England. Romo has steadied in a little in Atlanta, but with the Falcons having very little margin for error, he needs to be a little more close to perfect as he can get.
