Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals
I still won’t hit the panic button on the Bengals. The Bengals started off 0-2 last year and almost made the Super Bowl. If Burrow is injured and/or they play bad next weekend then it’s time to panic.
The Bengals offense is so flat right now and they aren’t doing a good job involving their stars. They played better at the end of the game and need to keep that momentum going next week.
Kansas City Chiefs @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Chris Jones showed just how important he is to the Chiefs. They held a great offense to nine points and he was the best player on defense by a mile. The offense will get it together and if the defense can continue to play like this, the Chiefs have nothing to worry about.
The Jags are a great team. They could’ve won that game, but did not execute well in the red zone. The Jags aren’t a team the Chiefs will want to have to play come the playoffs.
Miami Dolphins @ New England Patriots
Those Patriots red uniforms are the best in sports and absolutely pop.
This was the second straight game where the Pats lost by inches. That’s sports but it’s still tough to swallow.
The Pats throw too many screens. They’re skill players aren’t good enough to make people miss and get big gains. They need to air it out more.
All things told, the Pats defense played well against one of the best offenses in football. Christian Gonzalez is special and helped lock up Tyreek Hill. He reminds me a lot of Richard Sherman with his size and tackling ability. He is one of the only young players on the Pats who has serious potential.
That blocked field goal by the Pats was genius. Never thought I’d see a guy go in motion on a field goal block, but I bet other teams will copy that.
