Best & Worst NFL Week Ten

Week ten is now in the books in the National Football League, which means we are well into the second half of the season. And things were, and are, just as topsy turby now as they were a week ago. We saw a couple of guys have big comeback performances, while others totally laid an egg. If you we're a favorite going into this week, then you were going to have a bad time. Let's not waste any more time and dive right into it. Here's some of the best, and worst, from week ten.

Best: Patrick Mahomes, Quarterback Kansas City Chiefs
The best quarterback in the game started to look like it again on Sunday. There have been times this year when Kansas City looks like they might not be able to make a deep run. But what we saw last week against Vegas shows that Kansas City still has a high powered offense that's going to be really tough to beat if they keep it rolling. Mahomes was just doing Mahomes things on Sunday. He threw 35 for 50 for 406 yards and five touchdowns. This is a complete difference from what has been seen the last few weeks where he has had trouble hanging onto the football. Mahomes showed signs of his old MVP self and should he be able to keep it going, Kansas City is going to be really tough to beat.

Worst: Mike White, Quarterback New York Jets
This is coming from a Jets fan, I feel so bad for Mike White man. He had flashes against the Bengals like he could be a big deal in this league. He missed the game against the Colts. Comes back to face the Bills, and it didn't end well for White, or the Jets. Buffalo ran by, over and through the Jets, dominating to the tune of a 45-17 win. White was bad on Sunday, throwing four picks and completing only half of his passes. He was also upstaged by Joe Flacco. His fame fleeted quick.

Best: Cam Newton, Quarterback Carolina Panthers
Carolina walked away with a big 34-10 win over Arizona on Sunday and a small part of it came on the success of Cam Newton. Lets be fair, PJ Walker was the starter for the Panthers and did the bulk of the work and had a solid day. He did go 22 of 29 for 167 yards. But it was Newton who threw for the Panthers lone passing touchdown, going 3 for 4 for 8 yards. he also rushed for a touchdown, on three carries for 14 yards. It was Cam's first game action since getting cut by New England. He was able to help the Panthers in many ways and could be a bigger factor for Carolina with Sam Darnold now missing time.

Worst: Teddy Bridgewater, Quarterback Denver Broncos
It was one of those moments where you look at him and think "COME ON MAN" The Eagles pulled away in a 30-13 win over Denver and it was one play that Bridgewater made, or should I say didn't make, that sticks out. Yes he threw for 226 yards and that's nice but you can't go missing, or not even attempting to make a tackle. It was at the end of the fourth 1uarter Denver tried a run on 4th and 1 down by seven. Melvin Gordon fumbled the ball, allowing Darius Slay to recover the ball and run it all the way back for a score as the quarter ended. The last Broncos player who was there and could have made a play on him was Teddy. He did NOTHING he just kid of jogged and let Slay blow right past him to score. That's truly a COME ON MAN moment.

Best:  D'Andre Swift, Running Back Detroit Lions
If there was anything positive to take out of this football game for Detroit it was the performance from D'Andre Swift. Detroit walked away with a 16-16 tie against the Steelers. They haven't gotten a win yet this year, but they haven't lost either. Swift was a big factor in this ball game for the Lions pulling off the tie. 33 carries for a league best 130 rush yards. He was kept out of the endzone, but was still a force on the field Sunday, helping keep the Lions in this game

Worst: Detroit Lions
Only the Lions could do something like this, and in almost as Lions a way as possible. No they didn't lose, but they didn't win either, ending in the tie as mentioned above. The Lions defense forced a couple of Steelers turnovers in Overtime sure. And they held the Steelers to 16 points. But they allowed the Steelers to come back in the game. And to top it off, Jared Goff and the offense had just 77 net pass yards, because Goff was sacked four times on the day. It seems like no matter what they do, and no matter how hard they try, the Lions can't seem to get out of their own way.

Best: Deebo Samuel Wide Receiver San Francisco 49ers
The Monday night game lived up to the hype, for one side at least. San Francisco came away with a huge 31-10 win over the Rams and it turned out to be a very solid night for Deebo Samuel. He was was on his game for the 49ers and did everything he could to help keep San Francisco in that NFC West race. He scored two touchdowns on the night, one on the ground and one receiving. He finished with 5 carries for 36 yards and a score and had another 5 catches for 97 yards and a score. It's safe to say that Samuel was FEEEEELLLLLING it on Monday.

Worst: Seattle Seahawks
It was an all around bad day for Seattle on Sunday. They had to face Aaron Rogers, who was coming off missing last week cause of COVID. It was also the first game back for Russell Wilson, coming off his finger injury. Didn't end well for Wilson and company, as the Packers shut the Seahawks out to the tune of a 17-0 win. Wilson completed 50% of his passes and was picked off twice. You know its sad if Seattle actually played a little bit better with Geno Smith of all people under center. Just an all around bad performance against Green Bay
