NFL Weekly Game Previews: Week 5

NFL Game Deview is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio.

This is NFL Game Previews and I'm game preview guy here with in depth primers on every single game that's going to be played this week.

What was the field leaving.

That locker in last January against those guys? You just want to piss me off going to this week, and I appreciate that I do.

Actually, Dallas Cowboys San Francisco forty nine ers honor.

Taking the field with you, guys.

Vince is a special team Sunday Night football.

Oh Mama understands a team that if we want to get to where we get, we've got to play the game. Play them a game, come playoffs. So looking forward to the.

Matchup, Niners defense tied for the third fewest points per game allowed.

Here you get sack by Fred Warner.

Cowboys d the fewest points per game allowed while pretending they're the offense over and over again.

Jones just can't five us back off the field.

This dotty pays the price Derod GLM pick.

Six Dallas's offense aided by that d fourth most points per game.

Here's Prescott looking to throw a fad for cd Lamp.

He got it touchdown San Francisco's oh third most points per game.

It's a sixty five yard lightning strike for McCaffery.

And it's the forty nine ers offense that arguably sports the MVP at the quarter mark and it's not a QB for once.

Can you imagine what it like if you didn't get to McCaffery.

No, don't heard say that?

Monster matchup number one to dissect McCaffrey versus Dallas's stout run defense.

Touchdowns are a lot of fun, so hopefully.

We can keep it wrong. Forty nine ers offense is loaded with stars, but the table setter to it all the CMC music factory.

Yeah, he's a freak.

He's the thing making Dan quinn go hmmm.

The swing to McCaffery used check blocking out front all hurdle.

For McCaffery, did it big his way for the touchdown.

Cowboys defense the next up and trying to figure out how to contain Christian McCaffrey, the ultimate dual threat weapon.

He does everything, man, so we're thankful for him.

He's a dog try threat really, but just starting with his running skills. Four point seven per run. That's his low so far across four games. Rushing td in every game, a hat trick last week, McCaffrey.

Again, and for the fourth time today, Christian McCaffrey scores a touchdown.

He leads the NFL in rushing yards by almost one hundred. Already tried to.

Do something here with Christian McCaffrey.

Got a bruising block from Brandon Ayuk, got another for Rendray McCloud turned it into a touchdown. It's so fun to play for a team that takes pride in him blocking.

Dallas should expect to see him slash his way towards them twenty times minimum it.

It's hard to get Jerry Rice out of the record book, but Christian McCaffrey just did it.

They have scored a touchdown now in thirteen consecutive games.

San Francisco could employ Debo as a runner. Of course, not much action last week. Ribs are hurting him still, it's McCaffrey that it starts with, and he's facing his toughest test yet. Cowboys have held running back to three point eight to run in twenty twenty three, and they faced Saquan before he got hurt. Held him to four point three a carry. They'd take that against McCaffrey.

And a handoff to Barclay coming left and he's in jail.

Lawrence Armstrong and Jonathan Hankins.

Next matchup Dallas's pass rush. San Francisco's O line brock Purti has faced pressure thirty percent of the time, sixth lowest. He was great, it was almost perfect.

They told me I had a one completion at the end of the game.

I was like, oh my gosh. In turn, he's got some nice digits, no picks, five tds, a rating over one point fifteen. That's tops in the league.

Gonna take a deep shot to Ryer make the catch.

The left side of the line is anchored by Trent Williams, but all their big uglies will be tested. Archer might describe Dallas's pass rush as scarier than an alligator on a three wheeler.

You know, defense really really set the table, you know, with the with the takeaways in the field position.

DeMarcus Lawrence comes off the right edge most of the time, and even though Micah Parson's moves around, he'll test himself against Williams at times. That's a squanchy party. If I've ever seen one.

Here comes a five man rush and zampies in trouble. Sam Williams takes.

Him down Niners line. Also dealing with Dorance Armstrong, o Co Diggy Zua, Sam Williams, Dante Fowler not Dexter, though second highest sack rate fourteen bags in four games, highest pressure rate in the league.

Pressure coming, He's in trouble. Fowler coming balls loose.

Thunder Rust picks it up, touchdown.

Dallas balls in the air. Cowboys have held qbs to the lowest rate in the league, second fewest passing yards per game, third lowest completion percentage allowed and are something.

Duran Blond Cola House, Hello House House, It's made Doron Hello.

House, Stevie's Malik Hooker, Stefan Gilmour, Jay Ron Kurst, Deron Bland, Jordan Lewis, all sub seventy rates against, except for Gilmour, who's subbed ninety.

What's coming fourth down? They gotta have it coming here.

Such it's a the interception, it's picked off by Bland.

Again, Cowboys have not been hurt by any position group. San Francisco fans point to the fact Dallas has faced both New York teams Arizona and New England. None have a group like theirs. Samuel's ribs limited him last week, but we all know what he can do. Height end George Kittle only got one look last week. Greg was probably better.

Why do you pull me around?

He's because I'm cute, but no explainer needed for his potential. I thought though they're CMC seven catches seventy yards in a score versus Arizona and the Star last week. Brandon Aiyuk, who blew up for one hundred and forty eight yards in his return from injury.

Going deep for IYEU get a thinker tip crab inside.

That's twenty five.

So now you get to Dallas's O face. It hasn't shined as consistently as San Francisco's, but they have Dak Prescott coming in off a triple digit rate game, no picks over two hundred and sixty passing yards.

Here's Prescott.

We're gonna throw a fade for ceed last peas got a touchdown, Dallas.

Good to get a receiver a touchdown, A lot of good comes from it, and a lot of great comes from it when you when you win a game thirty eight to three.

Prescott has Ping Pong one hundred plus rate games with seventies rate games, so he has to shed the odd week curse, which won't be easy against San Francisco due to their front.

Our d line gets a one on one and the quarterback's not getting rid of it quick because there's a good chance he's going down.

Stops under pressure, though.

When he sacked Shavon the hard Gray, it's dangerous.

Like Parsons, Nick Bosa didn't have a sack last week, only has one for the year. Still, San Francisco has pressured QB's over forty percent of dropbacks while only blitzing twenty two percent of the time.

Daniel Jones back gets there dy a sack by the grave.

Jigger Bosa has Javon Hargrave in defensive end Drake Jackson helping pick up the slack. Each guy has three sacks.

Pick it in trouble again and sacked again. Drake Jackson with a three sack day.

Battle in the trenches will be beefy on this to Prescott has faced pressure less than thirty percent of his dropbacks. That's one of the lowest as well.

Prescott's got a lot of times can't find it an now a man's open, it's gallop.

He leans on CD Lamb of course most games anyway. Lamb scored week four up in the air Condon CD Michael Gallup sixty yards versus New England sixty plus. Back to back weeks, wide receiver Jalen Colbert had fifty plus versus the Pats. Jake Ferguson the tight end led the team in targets last week with seven, all of them for seventy seven yards.

Prescott Oh Ferguson held on what a catch those guys stacked up against Diamador Leonore, Tarvarius Ward, Isaiah Oliver, to Sean Gibson, Tallanoa Hu Funga, all with sub seventy rates against save.

Leonore, who was low eighties. San Francisco has held qbs to a mid seventies rate as a whole, and.

Pickett throws Jeep down the sideline. I don't stack yard, but Tavarius Ward.

And No with linebackers Dre Greenlawn, Fred Warner. Running backs haven't cracked four a carry against them, So in comes Tony Pollard, not much play last week, averaging four point three a run for the season.

Oh here's a rundow to follow.

The Big Hole pollowed another first down inside the thirty.

This is the rubber match for this all time rivalry. They are nineteen nineteen and one against each other's soup guys.

Big jagsline here in London, appreciate all.

The fans for coming out on to Buffalo. Ro London is calling to another far away town this week. I don't want to shout, but the Jaguars are taking on Buffalo. The Bills rolling in with some bravado and on a three game win streak.

You gotta be a key. It's gonna be all the way to the zout for Josh Allen. And that was a feal to put the side play.

Maybe Josh Allen and Josh Allen just get in the octagon for this one winner takes all. The Buffalo version of Josh Allen comes in off a three hundred and twenty yard outing, four touchdowns, no picks, a perfect rating.

The in Zoe.

It's a touchdown catch step up tag for the third time today.

This is incredible.

The Jacksonville version of Josh Allen comes in off a three sack game.

Man out of scape.

They try to throw for it and Josh Allen, the top sack man, comes up with this fourth.

Allen versus Allen is a beef squatch Bob Belcher like matchup. We have seen Josh Allen on Josh Allen prime lead to a Jacksonville victory in the past, and Jacksonville. Allen's play last week was a big reason they locked up Atlanta's offense. He had three sacks and the team had four total.

Well knocked out of the hands oft ritter, that was Josh Allen who got there the strip sack for the best pass rusher on this field.

What are the odds Josh Allen is looking in the mirror a lot? This week Jags needed to happen. The Buffalo version of Allen faced pressure less than thirty percent of the time versus Miami, which makes it easy for him to find his bff Fowling look.

Gigs throwing on a run off the don lives Diggs for the touchdown.

The great combination of Diggs and Allen stefon Diggs three touchdowns one hundred and twenty yards beast mode on one of them.

He's able to get away pronouns two tacklers if.

No one's gonna touch him, the rets it away touchdown Buffalo, the unbelievable takes.

He's having a first team kind of start to his year. Gabe Davis hauled in another touchdown last week, has scored in three straight. Now take him to the right.

One of the Enzie. Who else Dave Davis? What the touchdown catch are? They output a drive? Big game?

Gag Bill's tight ends always a threat. Nothing much last week. Jacksonville pass defense picked off Desmond Riddor twice, held him to a low sixties rate on the.

Right side, and throws an interception if you're right into the hands of Darius Williams, Who's gonna take it all the way to the end?

Zode Jacksonville on the year has helped q these to a sub ninety rating. Now Darius Williams and Tyson Campbell have been tough to beat. But don't be shocked if you see Diggs find Waldo in this case slot cornerback Trey Herndon. He's got the red and white cap on right now. Jacksonville allowing a plus ninety five or eight to wide receivers.

Locky then talk clut Corey. A touchdown by.

Drake London X factor James Cook in the Bill's running game. Cook scored versus Miami, look as any.

One helps push him from behind across the goal line touchdown.

Didn't do much else, but he's looked really good prior to that. Jacksonville got gashed by Jean Robinson last week over seven yards per run.

Aloud, he just done it, makes a cut and explodes.

They did hold Tyler Aljeer a more human back to two point three. Their run defense has been a mixed bag so far against all ball carriers. When Trevor Lawrence trots out for this one, expect plenty of I know that dude from Britz. Lawrence and his mates playing their second game in a row as part of their England residency.

And Lawrence a lot of time will take off and he's got a lot of space and the lock Strider galloping all the way to Atlanta territory.

Lawrence didn't make any mistakes in his Week four outing versus Atlanta, rating over one hundred one TD pass at.

Robster Kentalk touchdown Calvin Ridley, is it Bob against his farbar.

Chieve Still, Lawrence and the Jags offense are still searching for that come together outing that touchdown pass was a gift from busted coverage. R us traveling through for two hundred and seven yards under seven yards per attempt. That does not bode well being. He's now facing a defense that just held Tua and the Madden Dolphins in check.

That is outstanding coverage on Tyreek Hill. That's how you can slow down this offense.

Bill's held toungo Iloa to a low nineties rate, only one touchdown picked him off. They've held qbs this year to a mid sixties rating.

Down the field and in the septic the overthrew him.

It's Micah Hide Bill's secondary. Hoping they get safety Jordan Poyer back he was out last week. They won't have super cornerback Tredavious White. That sucks, but they have a pass rush that could heat Lawrence up. Something good. Bill sacked two of four times, hit him nine times.

Is surround it and goes down.

Greg Russo two sacks last week, had one week three. He's heat up.

Russell coming after him down Greg Russo. He's had a big game today.

Defensive tackle Ed Oliver had one. Has three for the year. Lawrence and is aligned dealing with a group that has a fat forty five percent pressure rate, blitzing less than twenty percent of the time.

It's head over again, Just bust it up another play.

So how about this? Lawrence has faced pressure under thirty percent of his attempts this year. Not many in the league have faced less. Slott find a tight end or a first down there Lawrence's targets. He'd love to get wide receivers a Jones back he missed week for hurt. He will have Calvin Ridley. He was the one that caught that busted coverage TD pass and Drovester pent Tuk touchdown.

Calvin Ridley?

Is it Bob?

Since Week one? Lawrence to Ridley hasn't connected much. Christian kirk on the other hand, eighty plus yards last week, fifty plus last three games in a row.

Play fake Lawrence looking down field and fines wide open Christian.

Kirk Bill's secondary. He has held wide receivers to a mid seventies rate through four games. Held Jalen Waddle to forty six yards, held Tyreek Hill to fifty eight.

Looks it up knocked away by Dan Jackson, denied Tyree.

Buffalo has allowed a plus ninety rate to tight ends. Jacksonville has a good one tight end Evan Ingram fifty nine yards last week. He has between forty nine and sixty seven. All four games.

Look short here. Ingram's got it. There's still seconds to meet Carolinas.

The Jags moved the fall out of.

The welcomes forty one.

Jacksonville run game also an X factor. Travis Etn just fifty five yards last week under three per run.

Et and again he's got a yard fewer before contact this season.

The last that's a big deal. Eten has ping ponged dud outings and good outings through four games, so that means he's due to have a good one this week. And Buffalo did give up seven and a half yards per carry to Miami is a big gainer.

Here for eighth. Jan Hey candle spreader, take it this.

Texas Bills gave up a few long runs only faced

Of the deflict. Say, the Ravens have the pick.

There's this famed black Knight who loses all his limbs in the fight, looks at them, 'tis but a flesh wound, and keeps fighting. He doesn't win, but the Ravens they do.

Jackson takes it himself for the touchdown. Ravens get the turnover and they instantly turn it into points.

Obij is out, Rashaan Bateman is out, left tackle Ronnie Stanley is out. Running back JK. Dobbins isn't there. Defense is missing, defensive end O dafe O Way, cornerback Marlin Humphrey, free safety Marcus Williams. As Quintano would put it, it don't matter to John Harbaugh.

Jackson throw close the body caught by Andrews, and then some after the clap, Andrews still rumbling.

The master of the lemon lemonade thing just takes the cards he's dealt and plays him. He's got his Lamar card to play this week, rating over one hundred and forty. Last week, two tds almost ten yards per attempt, fifteen for nineteen, passing.

Jackson Andrews for the touchdown. Lamar Jackson lays it up there.

The Browns may not have had DeShawn Watson, but their defense was attacked and it had played quarterbacks tough, so Lamar's outing was pretty impressive. The givens to Baltimore's passing attack wide receiver z A. Flowers, tight end Mark Andrews Andrews caught both Jackson's tds had eighty yards.

Jackson up high, handled Andrews touchdown Baltimore.

The Steelers have been especially tough on tight end so far, and they faced George Kittle week one. They've held that position to a low sixties rating into a night window there and.

Knocked away, and Patrick Peterson has already had a couple pass break ups.

Flowers has been Lamar's other go to fifty six yards last week, forty eight plus in all four games.

Jason gets out of the pocket, He's gonna throw on the move rainbow con say Flowers.

Pittsburgh is not handled wideouts as well. Rating allowed to that position over one hundred. Steelers gave up one hundred and sixty five yards to Nico Collins week four, gave up over three hundred yards to ce J Stroud two tds didn't pick him off. Rating over one ten allowed.

As the press beautifootball Collins and he's gonna waltz in.

Touch down TJ. Watton Company were not able to blow Houston's passing attack up. They didn't even come up with one sack.

Stroud's gonna tuck it away, He's gonna run for it first hand and more.

Jackson tends to take his fair share of sacks, so won't be shocking to see Whatton Company get to him. Jackson was gobbled up three times by Cleveland.

Jackson he sacks, it's a loss of seven.

Ravens tend to live with it unless it leads to a fumble. And still they want to run the ball more than pass if they have it their way. Thirty three toques last week nineteen passive temps Gus Edwards, Justice Hill, Melvin Gordon Lamar over one hundred and thirty rush yards a week four to two scores.

Jackson and shaken back for the touchdown.

Pittsburgh has not played the run well in twenty twenty three. Four point nine per run allowed to running backs, four point seven allowed overall.

Here's Piers Pierce burns him for eleven and another Houston first down.

Plenty of these games are slog fests, which means Pittsburgh's run game should also be prominent. Najee Harris went for seventy plus yards on five point one a run. Look nasty doing it too.

Harris hasn't been like Harris breaking free, and he is starting to put his game together.

Steelers need more of that, and way more from their passing game if they're going to compete Kenny Pickett one hundred and fourteen yards, only five yards per attempt, no tds, a pick A rating under sixty. Their passing attack has been rough and three of their four games, and Pickett left the game with a hurt knee, so have to track his status throughout the week.

I think it's gonna take a chance deep down to save and it is picked.

Raven's even shorthanded dominated rookie Dorian Thompson Robinson picking him off three times and no touchdowns allowed.

Time has expiredy fires intercepted Kyle Hamilton.

George Pickens is Pittsburgh's primary pass catcher just twenty five yards versus Houston. Ravens secondary has locked up wide receivers with the best of them too, holding them to a mid sixties rating.

Incompletely That was Ronald Darby with the cover John Michael Pittman.

Baltimore's pass rush comes in off a three SAT game.

Robinson is dropped by Queen.

Pickett got sacked three times by the Texans, has faced pressure over forty percent of dropbacks this.

Year as Pickett is hammered.

Tomlin Harbaugh, Peter versus the Chicken, Hoovey versus Morty. This is serious beef. The Minnesota Vikings, fresh off their first win or at home Week five, taking on the Kansas City Chiefs, who eked their way to a three to one records.

Pressure escaped me.

The Homes got the first down, it goes down in bounds before the touchdown.

The end the game.

Patrick Mahomes dealing out bad beats and fantasy losses all around. He also comes into this game off of one of the worst outings of his career, only two hundred and three yards, only one touchdown, two picks, a rating in the low sixties, got out played by Vincent adult Man.

Homes again, the second one.

Of the Minnesota's defense, may be the kind he can get right against. Bryce Young didn't light them up last week, but he went twenty five to thirty two against him plus ninety rating. Vikings didn't pick him off.

The throat got his man.

It's stealing that the twenty five turning up field takes a hard shot.

That fits Minnesota's body of work too. They've allowed QBS to put up a rating over one ten so far only two teams have given up a higher one than that.

Why don't put his keenan Allen Allen dancing into Viking's territory down to the thirty five.

Travis Kelcey obviously Holmes focal point sixty yards last week on nine targets, four more than anyone else on the team.

Best for Kilsey inside the forty to the thirty eight yard live.

Vikings haven't handled tight ends very well either, rating allowed to that position a hair under one hundred.

Late rush as he finds Everett over the middle. Good job picking up that pressure that Everett ushered out of bounds.

Maybe Minnesota's pass rush can tell things. The Vikings are addicted to the ballroom blitz. Last week sacked Young five times, one led to a touchdown the.

Well Tom Sutz and it's picked up by wanam d Say oneum rumble against side the twenty He'll go all the.

Way to the house.

Another allowed them to finish the game.

Off Young sack from behind and I'll do it.

Three of those sacks came via the handiwork of safety Harrison Smith. No team in the NFL has blitzed more often than the Vikings.

Young his sacks and Harrison Smith.

Will they keep it up versus Mahomes. He has a hundred plus rating against five plus pass rushers this season.

Let's coming picked up rogue Travis Kelsey, wide open, easy pitch and catch in.

A first down and check this out. The Jets blitzed him less than twenty percent of his dropbacks for multiple reasons, but it generally worked. If Minnesota backs off, it makes it a little harder for him to find an open receiver, but it also makes it easier for him to bowl. Maholmes is using his legs more often this year. He ran the ball seven times week, four fifty one yards and plenty of big first downs.

Mahomes sift the River's got a long way to go about ten got Tunny got the first down at.

The thirty five yard lig Mahomes isn't the only running thread either, Isaiah Piceco carried the offense in their Week four win, one hundred and fifteen yards five point eight to run and a score.

Check Go almost got the backfield instead into the open field. I'm accelerating, check go for the touchdown.

If the Vikings crowd the line as usual, that makes it tough on back. They held both Carolina's primary guys under three yards per carry last week, have held running backs to three point seven yards per carry on the season, so to bringing.

Pressure right away again as they handed off all of a sudden, that run game has started to be cut down.

Viking's own run game is also a key to this matchup. Alexander Madison has looked good the last two weeks. Week four ninety five yards five point six a carry and.

Madison nearly breaks free fighting for the extra yardage.

And Minnesota will hit Casey with some cam acres five tries forty yards eight per run. In his debut as a Purple People leader, Akers.

Again stutter stamp acres across the forty.

I know that's for the defense, but whatever Chiefs defense is vulnerable on this front. They let Breee Hall escape for a forty three yarder in Week four, they've allowed four point six a run to running backs.

The space ball to accelerate into the secondary. He's a great finisher.

Your feel is run down.

Still, the focus for Kansas City's defense will be squarely on Kirk Cousins and JJ Cousins through two more picks. Won a ninety nine yard house call.

Couzins throws picked up and it could be trouble up the fourth side line. Sam Franklin from the one yard line. Cousin's trying to track him down. He'll cut it back, get a book, and he'll go ninety nine yards for the score.

Minnesota's turnover problems have been a constant through four games. Justin Jefferson has also been a constant, but for the right reasons. Two touchdowns last week, first game under one hundred yards, but leads the league in receiving yards.

Cousins to the end soon and has taunts Shipper sent for another touchdown.

Rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison. Wide receiver kJ Osborne also threats. Neither did much last week. Chiefs secondary is handled wideouts well overall, held them to a sub eighty raight under six yards per attempt.

Brad In traffic minimal game.

They've had more trouble with tight ends a rating allowed to that position over one hundred and ten. So maybe TJ. Hawkinson does a little something. He had a quiet week versus Carolina, dumps.

It off Hackinson, turns up field, first down and more for TJ.

Hockinson.

Chiefs pass rush should cause problems for Cousins. Chris Jones specifically has three and a half sacks in his three games. Casey hit Zach Wilson ten times, sacked him twice.

Sack trying to get out of the area he will be sacked.

Cousins has been sacked a minimum of two times each game.

Third down Cousins is trucks.

The Chiefs are two to zero on the year, with Katie Perry watching from the stands not sure what she's doing this Sunday good game despite Minnesota's record. The LA Rams are back in Englewood for Week five, writing a win and a new star in the Makame Stafford.

Throws there he is the clup to the e Song Rams win.

LA will try to become the first team in the NFL to knock off the Philadelphia Eagles from fifty.

Four for the win on the world is The Eagles remain.

Unbeaten Philly four to o after walking out with that win over Washington week four, but LA may be taking on the most dangerous version of Philadelphia. Jalen Hurts in the passing game had been a little off the first three games. Then Hurtz goes for close to three hundred and twenty yards two tds, no picks, a rating over one ten.

Hurts going sideline Brown and a perfect drop in the bucket for a first down.

Both Eagles wide receiver stars come in off healthy games too. DeVante Smith seventy five yards versus Washington.

Here's the deep ball, got hit us, he let it go Tay Smith, what a cats?

Aj Brown laid down one hundred and seventy five scored twice. He's gone for one hundred and thirty plus back to back games.

He's got Brown.

Hi J.

Brown tucks it back. He's in the The Eagles have their first lead.

The Rams secondary they face has held wide receivers to a mid st seventies rating, only one touchdown allowed. Darien Kendrick low sixties rate for the year. A Kello Witherspoon mid forties should be a good tangle gas was intended.

For Alec Pierce Witherspoon defending.

LA didn't give up many yards through the air last week, only two hundred, but they did give up a number of big chunk plays that can be a problem versus Philadelphia, and they let Anthony Richardson throw two touchdowns no picks, a rating allowed near one hundred.

Richardson fires to play for first down a rams tyl toy.

LA can hope its pass rush leads to a turnover of some kind. Hurts was sacked three times by Washington, hit eight.

Under presser Tayce Young gets to him and hammers him down.

The Rams pass rush Hurts in his guys take on solid thirty five percent pressure rate over four games. Their big QB hunter. Of course, Aaron Donald sacked last week two and a half for the season.

And Richardson brought down by Aaron Donald.

Donald will have to be just as ready to face Phillladelphia runs. DeAndre Swift came back down to earth last week four yards per carry, but still scored if it to him.

Again in a per study zone for the Ankles Touchdownhertz.

Ran for thirty four yards just three point eight per run in part due to all those one yard pushes. LA didn't handle Richardson's legs great. He hit him for five point six a carry and scored as Richardson.

Richardson's still going out across the forty five.

LA's offense a little more straightforward, no scrambler behind center. Matthew Stafford just slings it mainly. Had the game winner in OT last week over three hundred and ten yards versus the Colts. He's gone over three hundred yards in three of their four games.

Now Stafford crows off first out. It's gathering in Bye Puka Nakua.

The Puka Nakua show is alive and well. Not only did he haul in the OT winner over one hundred and sixty receiving yards nine catches, he's second yards now behind only Justin Jefferson.

To flight the call reach stop, make a catch.

But what happens if Cooper Cup plays? How's that going to work? He was activated on Wednesday. Have to wait and see how that plays out. Both those guys are slot dudes, and that's Josh job for Philly. He's the Eagles. Waldo to rate aloud over one hundred two tds allowed.

Turn Jove around Josh job covering.

On the play, Stafford throws to wide receiver to to two at well a lot as well. He didn't do much versus the Colts. Philadelphia hasn't played wide receivers well overall, six touchdowns given up or rating over ninety. Darius Slay a rough start to his twenty twenty three rating, allowed over one hundred, allowed over ninety yards last week.

How to the sideline, He's got him again.

Philadelphia secondary has allowed a rating over one hundred and forty to tight ends two three touchdowns, no picks. Relevant because Stafford's most targeted player last week was Tyler Higbee, finished with over sixty yards.

Stafford up for down pass complete out to the forty five yard line at tick signals.

Stafford is used to dealing with heat at this point, faced pressure more than forty percent of the time in Week four, has faced forty plus in twenty twenty three.

Staffords crash kits bock down. He's getting on Matthew Stafford very very quickly.

Eagles pass rush can work with that. Pressured Sam Howell over fifty percent of the time. Five sacks won by Hassan Reddick, first of the season. Three by a blitzing Nicholas Morrow.

Presser coming here and they get there third second the day for Nicholas Morrow.

Rams will use their run game to try and counter that. Hyan Williams scored twice. Ground out one hundred and three yards on four point one A run.

Band off Williams and he is in for his second touchdown.

Today, Philadelphia held Brian Robbinson to three point two a carrey. They've held running backs to two point nine for the season.

Overtime begins with the Robinson ron that is grown up.

The last time Philadelphia started a year five and zero, you gotta go all the way back to twenty twenty two. Rams motivated to get over five hundred though.

Hey, we don't.

He isn't every one of us it.

I'm not a whole plan out.

Of The Miami Dolphins are at home Week five, awaiting the arrival of the New York Giants, who may or may not have put in a request to implement a three alligator rule on every snap this week.

Down goes Jones.

Witherspoon got him or bananas one thousands, just anything that might give Daniel Jones a little time to look around. Dolphins pass rushers are walking into this game with a chin full of drool after watching what Seattle did to Jones in week four?

What what's off the edge? No Wilsu couldn't get there and the balls out.

Forget the sixer, forget the principal Rooney nine, Jones got hit with a very rare Alexander Sackmleton Bill.

There's Dner and another sack and just no chance for Daniel.

Jones after like the eighth one Giants, fans were reaching for white towels every drop back. You were just like, why stop already? Where's the ref all this thing? Jones almost seemed delirious. It was like watching Miss Piggy. Is that all you got?

Is that all you got?

He's not allowed to do anything back there because he just has absolutely no time.

Here's the thing. Seattle's pass rush wasn't all that lethal. Prior to that game. New York's O lines missing guys, and they were without Sake one, which they hope they won't be for this one. If he's back, they run more, run more efficiently in theory, and force the defense to back off.

It's party, it's a touchdown.

But what if he's not back or he's not healthy enough to make an impact. Then Jones has Christian Wilkins, Zach Seeler, Emmanuel Agba, Bradley Chubb, Andrew van Ginkle to deal with. They all have a sack Van Ginkle three after picking up two last week. Now to dry on these decks back, get the hurty fine, that's again Van Ginkle. Miami would love to have Jalen Phillips too. He was out hurt last week. He's probably that kid that stayed home sick and then at three o'clock he's like, I'm

Business fact the other way Witherspoon, What a knight for the rookie.

If Jones does have time this week, he's not facing a secondary with great numbers. Dolphins have given up a one oh four point nine rate to quarterbacks. Only four teams worse. Their twenty ninth in completion percentage, twenty eighth in yards per attempt allowed twenty fifth in yards per games stay Vegas. They got torched by Josh Allen last week, three hundred and twenty yards for TDS cornerback cater Co,

Now turn on a RUNNS Dicks for the touchdown.

Giants don't have an Allen or a Digs though. If Barkley plays, though, their run game is a threat. Being Jones and him offset matter some. Jones led the team in rush yards last week with sixty six. Say what you will, but he's pretty fearless.

First down playing, Jones goes first down plus near midfield.

The Dolphins have held quarterbacks to three point three a carry so far, and they faced a couple mobile guys. Four point six per run allowed to running backs.

Though, it's Eckler and he's got a laying to the fifty to the forty, breaks away all the way inside the ten.

Austin Eckler.

All that aside, Miami football is about their O. Face wasn't as smiley last week versus Buffalo the.

Field and in a septic they overthrow them.

It's micah Ide to a tongue of I looa only one touchdown a low nineties rate Tyreek does Dallas only had fifty eight yards.

Toure Clinton zi Oh the beat down in complete.

Hill may need to change his nickname after football, being lightning fast isn't good at all jobs. Giants defense has to beware of the penguin. Jalen Waddle returned last week forty six yards. Waddle tries to go wide with it anyway. Miami's offense had has been a little Jekyll and Hyde. Week one in three they were a Madden video game offense, tongue of Iloa putting up monster numbers. Hill doing the same.

Play action fake back to throw looking over the middle, one open Terrek kielt the twenty, the tenth, the five touchdown Miami.

So here's the thing. Their Week two and four pedestrian showings were against the Bills and Pats. Both those defenses have sub ninety rates allowed so far. Their Week one in three opponents Denver worst in the league, Chargers twenty fifth, New York ninety five rate allowed twenty first.

This is Luckett had.

A step on Jackson and Fource out of bounds.

At the forty with a first down, so the Giants pass rush really has to step up. Tua wasn't sacked by la or Denver. He was sacked by New England and Buffalo, though four times by the Bills.

Here they come Russo coming after is down there in the drive with a sack.

Giants pass rush has the potential Dexter Lawrence and Leonard Williams in the middle, Azizo Jular and Caveon Thibodeau on the outside. Cavon had two sacks last.

Week, Saca, Gino Smith and it's Caveon Thibodeaux.

Potential won't get New York very far though they have four sacks on the season. Only the Bears have fuel.

Smith pass is caught by Cody Thompson.

G Men also have to worry about Devon a.

Chan.

Let's see eleven yards per carry Week three over two hundred yards rushing twelve yards per carry Week four over one hundred.

It was a big gainer here for eight Chad Hey Canada Squider take it the distance.

So thirteen yards per carry this week, but only fifty yards probably not. Giants rush defense gave up four point six a carry to Kenneth Walker last week. Four point three, a run to running backs for the year.

There's Walker right through the defense, tripped up inside.

The tech fenns fans in the know. I was ready to drop the knowledge about the Dolphins having never been five and oh before. Oh well, the fun is over. Carolina Panthers take on the Lions, who may trigger a remix to a classic if they keep it up. How about it's so hot in the deep?

Watch Soule turn his body away from the hole and Montgomery easily gets in.

Did the NFL just witness a statement made kind of game from Dan Campbell and the boys. Panthers walking into what will be a frenzied Ford field. Bryce Young better bring his sword and shield too. It's gonna feel like the Colisseum, not the one in La the one with you know, actual Lions.

Goff deep again, wide open, making the grab and taking in and is Saint Brown?

Yeah, Maximus, we are in fact entertained. Detroit scored thirty four points last week, yet so much of the credit goes to their defense. Starting there again this week, Panthers o line has to be on top of its game. Detroit's pass rush sack Jordan Love five times, hit him eleven we've.

Got a couple tight ends did it are in to try to help out, but he just bold rushes. I don't know how Love held onto that football with bugs trying to knock that away from us.

The Lion's pressured Love over forty percent of the time while only blitzing him less than five percent of the time. That's a rare split. They've blitzed less than twenty percent of dropbacks in twenty twenty three, yet have a pressure rate in the high thirties.

Well, popping around fires that one away almost had it picked off.

Carolina's tackles and guards have to try and keep America from having to see the stinky leg.

Aiden Hutchinson, What did he come alive? Last week?

Aiden Hutchinson moves around so everyone gets a taste. Three and a half sacks on the year, one and a half last week. If you've watched him, he's turning into a one man wrecking crew.

Here.

They use a little twist, move him back to the inside, and he beats John Runyon two Michigan guys going ahead to.

Head problem for Carolina's big uglies. He's not a one man band defensive end. Charles Harris two QB hits versus Green Bay defensive tackle Alee McNeil sack last week, has two for the year. Defensive tackle John Kaminsky ditto, Well, could not get away.

You got Hutchinson getting in there, and then Kavinski comes into to wrap it up.

The Lions are expecting to feast on Young. He took five sacks last week. One ended up being housed for a TV YU.

I'm being track.

Tell about Tom Seltz and it's picked up by wanumdeed say.

One um another ended Carolina's hopes of extending the game. So potential misman.

Young sack from behind and I'll do it.

As we pointed out, when Young lets it fly, he's going to be doing so against a seven man secondary most downs, so to speak, and the rookie hasn't had a blow up game yet. He did go twenty five to thirty two last week, only two hundred and four yards but no picks. He did crack the ninety rating barrier.

Young, the Pats scam stepping up rolls and he hit shirt and a Minnesota Sarah.

Sorry, Lyon's secondary. We'll focus its attention on two receivers. Adam Feln seven catches, over seventy yards last week, back to back big outings for him rolls and.

It's cots well the first down by.

Phelin Terrace Marshall fifty six yards, ten targets. Week four nine catches versus Minnesota.

To throw again and again it's complete fits Marshall this time in another first out.

Detroit has held quarterbacks to under seven yards per attempt to a sub ninety rating. Cornerback Jerry Jacobs had a rough couple games, then picks Jordan Love off twice last week. Detroit held him to a sub seventy rate.

As a result, second and five Love closer's Love has that picked over the five yard line.

Cornerback Cameron Sutton has yet to be dinged track slot cornerback Brian Branch's status. He hurt his ankle last week. He's looked good as a rookie, and cornerback Emmanuel Moseley and safety Kirby Joseph are also injured. They also hope to get them back. And yet still when it comes to Thelan and Marshall, Detroit has held wide receivers to a mid eighties rating.

Very very close. He gets that ball in there. The they were man to man on the outside. Jerry Jacob's matched up against the rookie.

Carolina hasn't cracked eighteen points in three of their four games. And it's not just the passing game they need more from. They would love to see any kind of life from their run game. Miles Sanders nineteen yards thirteen carries last week. He's been a free agent bus so far. They're lying somewhat to blame Cuba Hubbard. Last week he only hit for two point nine as.

Rush tumming and it cuts down the run as Hubbard gets the carry a one yard loss.

Sanders and Hubbard are going up against a tough run defense. Lions have held runners to just three per run. Barely faced any Tokes versus Green Bay.

Look at that defense branch right there, takes to quarterback and there's nowhere to go after this pitch.

Panthers defense seems to have pressure to keep it close. They face a Lion's offense that uses a balanced attack. It does start with the run as a way to set Jared Goff up for some good old fashioned play action. Carolina's defense, therefore setting it sits on David Hannam on Tanne Montgomery.

Put on the ground through the middle. There he goes again Montgomery for six.

Montgomery came back from his injury like a wrecking ball. You know, never hit a defense so hard in the end zone, in this case. Three touchdowns last week over one hundred and twenty rushing yards, most the physical kind. He scored in all three games he's played.

Big hold, left shine didn't be a touchdown, David Montgutworth.

Panthers have to worry about the changeups to Khalif Raymond forty yards sweep for example, or Jamiir Gibbs runs five yards per on his eight attempts.

Week three with the Gibbs on a draw and the rookie year.

The Panthers gave up five point six a run to Alexander Madison eight per carry to Cam Akers, so they better figure some things out this week.

Akers again stutter staff Akers across.

The forty Lions air game gonna get a splash of Jamison that always livens things up. The speedy wide receiver Williams suspension is over. He joins a Jared Goff, Aman Ross Saint Brown, Josh Reynolds, Sam laporta joint Goff has picks and back to back games a little unlike him, but after the one he threw last week, he was pretty fresh and so clean. Has a rating close to one hundred for the year.

Go back look he pick down field, I don't it is Sam Laporta. Tucks down Detroit lyons almost.

Reynolds sixty plus yards in week three sixty plus and three of their four he played hurt in one.

Whoa reaching out making the grab Jonash Reynolds.

Great Laporta fifty plus yards versus Green Bay fifty plus and three straight games.

Off retreats, fires over the middle, caught on the run, and that is Sam Laporta.

The star of the group. Saint Brown, the slot guy, two hundred yard games so far, all four over fifty. He scored last week a second of the year.

Well slip man demand goes down an easy read.

Panther secondary just faced a star wide receiver, gave up two tds to Justin Jefferson.

Cousins to the end zone. It is taught Jefferson for another touchdown.

Overall, though Carolina's DB's have held wide receivers to a mid seventies rate, they picked off Kirk Cousins twice last week, have held QB's overall to a low eighties raiding Gauson.

Throws picked up and it could be trouble up the fourth sideline.

Sam Frank look Panther is looking for win number one, Lions, wanting to make sure they aren't that team.

O'Connell throwing out to his life, throws that way up at the two oh no.

Las Vegas Raiders back on the strip for some Monday night football action. Then Natives are getting restless and.

Todd Lobs just keep it on Honey for like every day I'm going there and not working so all.

So obviously something gotta give. Green Bay stopping in for a visit, I think there's just so much stuff that we could do better. Packers fans feeling like Lennon was full of it. We need more than just love. We need first downs and we need a Jedi to come in here and lay hands on our injured players down Gohost. Green Bay's O line is beat up and David Baktiari is on ir so Rashid Walker who's subbing in. He needs to play better than he did last week, and

Love it trouble, bucket down, sack, check down.

Left guard Elton Jenkins could come back this week. Track it. Aiden Hutchinson was a problem for Green Bay all game long, so mad Max might be a problem for them this week. Crosby took Justin Herbert down twice. Week four four bags for the year.

Now you're like Tony Jarry Jones. Crosby kicks him again.

Packers run game. It's rested. I guess bell Star fast

Love ticks hands to til it hit the back.

You'll cook down from us a Lampi deal almost to pay golf himself.

I mean, it's just something we gotta we gotta find out what we got to do to get better at it.

Aaron Jones did return. They were careful with him. You'd expect them to turn him loose this week.

Jane wiped down pass. He takes up a bunch of people on the.

Side, one with it.

Acker's passing attack comes in wobbly, but not without potential. I thought Jordan is an outstanding job of thrown with pressure in his face all night. The last two games have been a mixed bag for Love, very much tied to their o line play. He got picked off twice versus Detroit. Has had ratings in the sixties back to back games. I think I just can be a lot better.

Love looking steps up close late over the middle and it is intercept by the Lions.

Second interception to the game for Jordan Love, and that should.

Buck do it.

I think there's a lot of players to be made out there that you know, we're just not quite.

Hiding right now.

Still Vegas isn't facing a shlub. Love threw for over two hundred and forty yards of TD and has looked plenty sharp in stretches. Three pass plays of twenty four plus versus the Lions loft it left.

Side going up four and it is caught by Samari too right, I said sac O Cheddy.

If Jones is one hundred, he's a threat out of the backfield, a pass catcher wide receiver. Christian Watson scored versus Detroit. That was his first game of the year to.

Love thanks to handoff those to a wide open Christian Watson left Pie out of the ends out touchdown.

Rookie slot wide receiver Jaden Reid had fifty five yards last week. He's been relevant in all four of their games.

Love Rain gooing right side Jayden Reid the show captain side of ten down near the Lions side yard.

Right Romeo Dobbs almost one hundred yards week four, over seventy yards back to back games.

The Love all of the middle, a town outing grab has make beautiful side arm throw right into the arms of a tumbling Roadie.

Al time tight end Luke Musgrave on the injury watch list. He left their game last week with a concussion. Raiders defense had one of its best showings week four. Held Justin Herbert to one hundred and sixty seven yards only one touchdown a low seventies rate, and picked him off once Erbert plus.

To the white eye downfield into.

The arms of an interception.

Overall, though Vegas is allowed out a rating near one ten to wide receivers, specifically a rating over one twenty six touchdowns, only one pick against that position.

Justin Herbert go empty person looking from Pano Pristine de ball.

And that's the doll game.

Does any of that matter if Vegas can't score at least twenty points They haven't yet in twenty twenty three it Dun's man blow after one.

That's a fumble, but it's recovered Ben Johnson. Another fumble by the Woodie quarterback.

Their passing attack was led by aoc last week.

Made too many mistakes, just into enough at my position, didn't do enough things around.

Eight and O'Connell battled. He did have them in a spot to tie the game, but no touchdowns. One pick a low seventies rating against a pass defense that looked and smelled like Swiss cheese prior to that game.

Its first and doll O'Connell seat, He's pick dust by seat too stubble.

One would assume Jimmy Garoppolo will be back. The black hole may not care or anymore, whoever it is, will be looking. DeVante Adams weigh plenty thirteen targets in a game he came out of hurt seventy five yards. We all know he's a beast.

Fourth and ten ohcon and cos first.

In Jacoby Myers is supposed to make a difference not much of one. Last week. Josh Jacobs, due to the quarterback being a rook was targeted eleven times in Week four. Eight catches eighty one yards five.

Jacobs at the forty five gets the block to midfield forty five and it charges territory.

How he's got the first down in the forty one yard line.

Vegas's quarterback should be ready to be blitzed. Green Bay has done so over forty percent of the time. They've been able to pressure the QB over forty percent of the time because of it. For Shawn Gary, Carl Brooks, Kenny Clark, Davonte Wyatt all have two or more sacks each through four games.

GoF play action d Crop looking around under her record He's inting sacked.

Carl Brooks rides on the scene.

Packers defense is hoping to get some reinforcements.

This week.

They went to battle with out linebacker Devondre Campbell and cornerback Jaiere the Gritty King Slayer Alexander, both A level talents. Jaiir versus Adams would be beefy. Even without Alexander, green Bay played Jared Goff solid held him to a mid eighties rate picked him off. They've held quarterbacks to a sub ninety rate for the year, under seven yards per attempt, So tough secondary so far.

The snap that Jared Goff looks down field, waits, flings it over the middle Ken What a start for the green Bay defects.

Getting Campbell back would make things tougher on Jacobs along the ground. Green Bay gave up over two hundred yards to Detroit, three touchdowns, almost five per run allowed. Won a forty yard wide receiver sweep hands.

It off did Javerier Gibbs reverses over to Renolds around the right end fifty out seven number forty thirty five thirty big shakes down the sideline, rudy forty touchdown saving tackle, forty yard run.

That sweep did skew things. They held David Montgomery under for a carry. Jacobs should expect to see plenty of linebacker kway Walker nineteen tackles week four. Have yourself a game.

Golf, quick throw into the flat right side and he's gabbled up by kway Walker and that's.

A loss of five Jacobs scored last week.

At least I snap gets it down, gets it to.

Jacob off the middle touchdown Riders Josh Jacob's first touchdown of the season on fourth and goal.

From the one, but it was another game under four yards per carry. Indianapolis Colts are at home week five, welcoming in a familiar foe in the Tennessee Titans, facing a familiar back in King Henry Henry.

Big hold off the right side a big run out.

To the forty five Titans. Football isn't right unless Derrick Henry is right. He finally was right last week after a rough first three games. He was throwing tds again.

Henry oh chickus touchdown Josh Ley the first of his NFL career, but it's too easy. It's like stealing right there.

And more importantly, trucking dudes one hundred and twenty two yards five point five a run his first big game of the year. He scored on one of his carries.

Speaking of explosives, Darrin Henry rodrik Tnery's done VI ditch King Henry for twenty nine yards in a touchdown.

Colts can't ignore running back kaij Spears either, forty yards on eight per run Week four, has a fat yard per carry figure in his limited carries.

The Spears the rookie out of tu l. What if I Spinoovers he picks up the first down.

Indianapolis would love to shut those dudes down and make it all about Ryan Tannehill. Colt's defense was stout versus running backs in their first three games, and they've held backs to three point three a run for the season and put.

In the backfield for the loss e j speed able to get through and it's fourth down.

They did give up over one hundred yards to Kyron Williams last week on four point one a run, so nothing terrible, but also gave up five point two a care ry to Ronnie Rivers on nine attempts.

Well, the Cols twenty eight heris Rivers with the push.

Tennessee needs that run game to keep Indy's d on its heels. Tannehill benefits like he did in Week four, two hundred and forty yards nine yards per attempt, a rating close to one hundred WW.

That is through Hill, that's through Hubbard Hill.

My goodness, Tannehill better lose the jekyl and hide act. His odd week performances have been abysmal. Titan's passing attack is wide receiver driven Chris Moore is their deep guy. Caught a forty four yarder. Last week, Nick Westbrook Akine had fifty plus yards and a touchdown.

Their pressure, good hands touch that time touchdown.

That's Nick west and their top guy, wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins sixty yards week four. Still waiting on that OMG game from them.

It's Tannehill throwing one for Hopkins. It's one out of money in Santa Cincinnati forty.

Indianapolis gave up an OMG game to LA's Pooka Nakua Week four, one hundred and sixty plus yards and the game winning touch down. In ot They've allowed a rating over one hundred to wide outs in twenty twenty three.

Stafford throws there. He is the cool up to the ex song Raps.

Win Colts pass defense overall has allowed a rating over ninety five, so not a strong suit so far. Can they sack Tannehill? It would be shocking if they didn't. They have fourteen sacks and four games. Always good to be more than three a game. Plus thirty five percent pressure rate is solid, especially when you're only blitzing twenty percent of the time.

And troubling is the ball out again, did they just pick it right out of his hand.

Another turnover for the Indianapolis defense, and it's quitty pay.

Not sure how often Tannehill spends at dispensaries, but he spends a lot of time with his face in the grass. Three five, five and three that's how many sacks he's taken in each game so far.

Pockets started collapsing. He did a good job with just bringing that ball to his body.

Titans offense is hoping to have guard Peter Skoronsky back soon. Wide receiver Trailing Burks too. Colts Off offense now versus Tennessee's d Anthony Richardson returned Week four, didn't win, wasn't perfect by any means, but Tennessee's not dealing with a cold quarterback. Richardson's legs are going to be a problem for Tennessee's defenders. Fifty six yards last week in a touchdown on ten tries.

Richard's it takes off, he said, touchdown.

Indianapolis's offense also leans on a running back, Zack Moss has to be dealt with as well. Seventy plus rush yards in all three of his games, averaging over four a run for the year.

Well for it's past run of the day park far and.

It sounds like we're going to see the debut of mister Jonathan Taylor this week. Not sure how much action he'll get. Titans gave up four point eight to run to Joe Mixon. That's not good to give.

The mixen with a whole in a Burston a good run.

However, they have played backs to three point three a carry overall.

But this Titans front is excellent against the run.

We talked about it.

Richardson the passer eleven for twenty five last week, two hundred yards. Those aren't great, but eight yards per attempt is good. Two tds no picks rating close to one hundred.

This is why they drafted him number four overall pick.

Look at the arm strength, the athleticism, fights his way for the touchdown.

No real position or player caught his fancy either, only eleven completions. Titan's pass defense he's up against was rough the first three weeks. Season numbers aren't good. Touchdown however, they're trending up at least. Last week versus Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase t Higgins, Tyler Boyd held Burrow to one hundred and sixty five yards just five point five yards per attempt, no touchdowns, low eighties rating for Bults.

It down the scene and complete trying.

To connect with Tyler boyd Richardson has all kinds of dudes to try and escape from. Titans had three sacks week four, pressure rate near forty for the year, and they also don't blitz a whole lot.

That bill got out of the hands of b All.

Trevis Gibson came around the edge.

This is a key AFC South battle early in the se and everyone's very much alive, just waiting for some separation. The Atlanta Falcons are back at home, hoping some American cooking hopes helped get them back on track. They take on the Houston Texans, who have officially grabbed the NFL's attention.

Strat lit a CIDAR delivery to the end zone.

It's Nico Cullins Big two and two versus two and two matchup teams heading in opposite directions, though the Texans having one two in a row thanks to the Ohio State QB curse breaker. CJ. Stroud is on a tear.

There's a press beautifootball Collins and he's gonna.

Watson sucks down three bills plus last week two tds no picks a one to ten plus rating.

Straud up the same dutiful pass. That's his tight end daulted.

Shultz two hundred and forty yards plus in all four games, one hundred plus rating in three straight six Ted's no picks over the last three two hundred and eighty or more in those three. Stroud Mania is strong coming into this game.

Firing Daffield to us right and Tank has it at the forty the thirty.

The twenty ten five touchdown.

CJ now takes on Atlanta's secondary. They gave up one hundred plus rating to Trevor Lawrence last week, primarily due to forgetting to cover Calvin Ridley on this one pass. They were confused, maybe.

Dravespetzo touchdown Calvin Ridley?

Is it bove against his Forvard.

Chieve But they've held quarterbacks to a mid eighties rating

Comiston delivers downfield.

That is incomplete.

Week three, Stroud went big on wide receiver Tank Dell Quiet last week Nico Collins turn over one hundred and sixty yards two tds, so.

It's completes Collins. College's making a miss. Collins all to the races.

Collins is their true number one. He has two hundred and forty plus games. Now eighty plus yards in all three games.

Stroud protected throws on the run completes Collins and his big day continues.

Hollins, Dell and Robert Woods are Stroud's primary targets. Falcons pass defense against wide receivers low nineties ratings so far, that's okay at.

Least so to the far side again, targeting Kurt off his hands.

The Alfred didn't coverage. Cornerback aj Terrell needs to step up versus Nico. Terrell will travel, but he spent most of the time on the right side so far rough start to twenty twenty three, he's given up one hundred plus rating.

Terrell's just gonna kind of hague. He's got vision on it. And then Calvin puts the hand up. He just got caught. He just got because there's this no way he would squat on that like that.

How about heating Stroud up? Falcons pass rush two sacks versus Jacksonville. They have a pressure rate over thirty for the year. Respectable.

Lawrence has a lot of time and he'll be hit, hesitated and the pass rush swallowing them up.

Getting the Stroud won't be easy, though, even without their left tackle Laramie tunsl thirty pass attempts last week, not one sack taken versus TJ. Watton Company.

Now the quick release this is College Collins breaking.

Tackle sections run game has turned into an X factor. Damian Pierce had eighty one yards versus Pittsburgh, but under three point five a carry. He hasn't hit four per run once yet, and the Falcons defense will make it tough on him. Held Travis ETN to two point eight per run, have held runners to three point nine over four games. Second and six ETN smash the score Atlanta's offense six points Week three, seven points Week four. Desmond Ridder, three turnovers.

WIT's looking back to the right side and throws at an interception.

He throw it right into the hands of Darius Williams, Who's gonna take it all the way to the ends.

Off Houston is not facing a high flying Falcons. Zero ridder through two. I n T's low sixties rating three straight games. He's had a sub eighty rating, has three tds against three picks overall.

Bike the toss to Algier Ridder down the middle, thrown to the pack, Oh my goodness, Andre Cisco to safety.

Drake London caught a touchdown last week. He's their wr one locking.

Then to clot Coy touchdown by Drake London.

Seven targets, only three catches, twenty eight yards. A reflection of the quarterback play. Houston's defense held Kenny Pickett to a sub sixty rating, just five yards per attempt, only one hundred and fourteen yards, no touchdowns picked him off. They've held quarterbacks to a sub ninety rating and as far as London have held wide receiver targets to a mid seventies rate.

Deep up the same and it is pecked.

Texans pass rush should expect to visit mom this week. Rider got sacked four times last week, has bitten the dust eleven times in the last two games. Has been sacked four plus times in three of their four hitter from the pocket.

Can out escape they try to throw for it on third and one.

Texans counter was a pass rush that's pressured quarterbacks over forty percent of the time, a blitz rate in the low twenties. Jonathan Greener two bags last week three for the year.

Here they come again, picket sick Jonathan Grenard.

Jerry Hughes had one. He's also a threat, and they have rookie defensive end Will Anderson looming as well. Texans defense true focus, though, will be on Atlanta's run game. Better tighten up their jockstraps. They have to find a way to stop mister angle breaker. Bijon Robinson is for real one hundred and five yards last week over seven a carry, explodes.

Gets to the edge, gets the block Bisha Robinson.

Texans defense gave up over five a carry to Najie Harrison week four. For the season, though they've held the running back position of four per run. The Cincinnati Bengals head west this week to take on Arizona in a battle of one win teams. The Cardinals, though, at least have a hot quarterback to rally behind.

In the Wilson the diving catch in a touchdown.

Arizona may have lost their most recent game, but Joshua Dobbs comes into this contest with plenty of confidence. Over two hundred and sixty yards passing versus the vaunted San Francisco defense two tds, no picks, rating over one hundred.

Dops throwing down the sideline, shuck ball and it's Michael Wilson on the outside.

He had them in the game too until the fourth quarter. Hit has a ninety nine plus rating in three straight games.

Now good snap Dobbs hit as he throws to the sideline, it's Wilson again.

Cincinnati secondary will primarily be challenged by three guys wide receivers Marquise Brown, Michael Wilson. Tight End zach Ertz Ertz was targeted ten times in Week four, six catches a little over fifty yards.

Dobbs looking for Ertz at a sliding grab at the twenty.

Nine yard Locke.

Bengals have allowed three touchdowns two tight ends and a rating over one twenty oh chick.

Touchdown Josh Wiley, the first is of the foer.

Dobbs also targeted Brown ten times last week, almost one hundred yards for Hollywood.

Dob's off the play fake got him setting up looking open. It's Brown and Brown down the sideline.

And then there's Wilson, who caught both the Dobbs tds over seventy five yards fifty plus yards three games in a row.

First the metal touchdown Michael Wilson.

Bengals have been tough on wideouts, holding them to a low seventies rate. Four I and t's against three TDS deep shot.

It's picked off first turnover of the day.

Bengals pass defense as a whole not as good, not terrible over four games, but comes in a bit shook. Cincinnati allowed Ryan Tannehill to throw for two hundred and forty yards week four, rating close to one hundred, and they lost cornerback cam Taylor britt to injury. Would be tough on them if he was out this week.

Line of that protection of the right, it's Tannehill throwing on for Houckcakes and it's run out of the money inside of the Sison recurting.

Dobbs isn't easy to sack. Only been bagged six times in four games now, Nick Boson Company only got to him once.

Dollald Boys, I throw and it's yanked down by Hollywood Brown.

Bengals sacked Tannehill three times. That doesn't say much. Trey Hendrickson, Sam Hubbard the threats. Hubbard has sacks back to back games.

All about the pass rush and watch hover coming off his block.

Dobbs is also a threat to take off forty eight yards rushing last week forty plus and three straight the.

Twelve yard scamper and another Arizona first down.

And Arizona will feed James Connor four point seven a carry versus San Francisco fifty plus yards four point four a run or better.

In all four games Terence gives to Connor running right inside the five man Connor's in for the touchdowns.

The Bengals gave up one hundred and twenty two yards to Derrick Henry five point five a carry and a score, the only team Henry is hit at four or better against. They gave up eight yards per carry to Taija Spears two have allowed four point nine yards per carry to running backs in twenty twenty three.

Just get going once he rolls and nobody catching that two hundred and fifty pounds.

Beasts four point nine per carry allowed to quarterbacks. By the way, the quarterback on the other side not a concern to take off with his bum calf and Joe Burrow's inability to go off scrip much continued to show up in their Week four loss one hundred and sixty five yards just five point five yards per attempt a low eighties rating.

He just reading that route on the individual route on the backside almost.

Is going the other way for six.

Burrough's time to throw is under two point five for the year. That's low or quick. He's mostly just trying to get the ball into his receiver's hands and letting them do the rest of the work. Jamar Chase receives most of those looks seven catches seventy three yards week four. After his monster Week three, he.

Start breaking free as Jamar Chase as he takes it down near the twenty yard line.

Tyler Boyd is probably next up on the totem pole. He didn't do much last week, though, but tem Higgins got hurt, so they could really be hamstrung this week.

Extra man for Tennessee. Burrow throws incomplete for Boyd.

Arizona's defense might be the one to get right against, though gave up over two hundred and eighty yards to brock Purty only sacked him once. Rating allowed over one thirty over thirteen yards per completion.

Pressure coming away throws to McCaffrey. McCaffrey twisted to the goal line and in for the touchdown.

That, of course, against a quarterback who wasn't playing hot potato. Still allowed over one hundred and forty yards to Brandon Ayuk. They've given up a rating near one hundred overall in twenty twenty three. A rating near one hundred allowed to wide receivers, specifically.

Map back to throw zips one into the end zone and it's caught for the touchdown.

Giant Arizona also didn't handle cm sewell at all as a pass catcher over seventy yards and a TD rose over the.

Middle, fins McCaffrey dodging amongst traffic and McCaffrey.

On the run for a first down as a runner over one hundred yards over five yards per carry three touchdowns. They've allowed four point three to running backs on the year.

Swing to McCaffrey, used check blocking out front.

All hurdle for McCaffrey, didn't big his way for the touchdown.

So maybe it's a Joe Mixon game. Then four point eight orr onun last week sixty five plus yards.

Mix it first down in the Titans territories.

He goes solting you can make the playoffs after a one and four start. It's just not easy to do, so better to get to two and three at least. The New York Jets head west this week, their fans and head coach hoping to face the Broncos without any help from Zebras. They firmly believe they got jobbed last week. Denver didn't. They finally got into the win column with Sean Payton as their head coach, fields.

Over the middle Piti setting and the Broncos will escape with their first.

Win of the year.

Both teams are one in three, but both teams are riding hot quarterbacks. Yeah, both both named Wilson. Broncos have Russell coming off a three td outing rating over one thirty no picks. Despite the team's record, He's had a one hundred plus rate in three of their four games.

As time good protection to the end, So one open touchdown.

The Jets roll into town with a kid who threw for over two hundred and forty yards no picks, two TDS rating over one hundred. Say hello to Zach.

First down an ex touched down Ellen Lazar.

Which guy has a better chance to build some memento? Denver's passing attack driven by wide receivers Marvin Memes, Jerry Judy Cortland Sutton. Sutton scoring last week, has a touchdown in three of their four games.

Wilson over the medal context down Courtland Sutteny.

Stopping wide receivers is a New York specialty, only one touchdown allowed to the position three I INT's holding receivers to a mid seventies rate at New York's defense overall has played the pass well. Wilson facing a group that picked off Patrick Mahomes twice, held him to a low sixties rating.

County intercepted again the second one of the Hats.

Jets pass rush could swing things. Typically it's a four man deal. They haven't blitzed much this year, still have a pressure rate in the upper thirties, though b is sacked. Russell Wilson, typically a grass officionado, He's faced pressure almost forty percent of his dropbacks.

Rolling out still on his feet, keeping the play alive. He's taken down.

However, only one sack taken versus Chicago, though they don't bag very many qbs. They'd take that again, though Wilson could use his legs If New York plays the quarterback the way they played Mahomes runs fifty one yards given up over seven a carry.

Oh, so forever, it's got a long way to go, but ten got twenty.

Got that first down.

They also didn't stop Isaiah Pacheco, who ran for one hundred and fifteen yards on him five point eight per run.

Check go almost got in the backfield instead to the open field. An accelerating put checked out.

For the touchdown.

Denver lost Javonte Williams to injury, but Jaleel McLoughlin not Sarah looked great on a seven attempts seventy two yards long A thirty one.

A little stutter step cuts through two defenders, slows down.

This is like a top gun bate.

It's gonna go right by all right Back to New York's offense and to another Wilson Garrett. This time he's gonna get the most looks from Zach. He's the big man on campus when it comes to their passing attack.

Fields. What up in this coming suckstop?

Bears Broncos did get to fields at least four sacks nine QB hits. That's good stuff.

Denver ready for it. And there's the cent for Nick Benito.

Zach Wilson was hit ten times, pressured over forty percent of his dropbouts.

Please flicker here here he turns into a cent on since finally does get sacked.

Jets run game East Hall. He only got six carries last week, but he ripped off a forty three yarder.

Rice Rogler look at the space to accelerate the second. He's a great finisher.

Denver gave up over one hundred yards to Khalil Herber on over five and a half a care and he's.

Got the first time Herbert cruising his.

Life during the two and three team at the end of this is going to feel miles better than the one and four one does. New Orleans takes to the road Week five, the Saints heading north to New England to take on a Patriot squad coming in just as wobbly. Neither team won last week, neither team even able to generate double digit points.

The balls loose on the back Credis had Apprentis lost the football and on the field.

It's a takeaway.

He had to get right to the forty yard line and I think he's way short.

Yeah, the Saints need more from their passing attack. Maybe Derek Carr shouldn't have played last week. One hundred and twenty seven yards sub seventy eight three point four yards per attempt. At that figure, there's no point point in passing.

A car under pressure. Jets out of it, switch on the move that took light for the full.

Back out of pretis New England's passing attack in the same boat. Two hundred yards versus Dallas rating under fifty, no touchdowns, two iron ts, just.

Late with the ball across the field. You just can't make that throw.

Even so, they say they're sticking with Mac Jones Hunter Henry Hendrick Bourne Juju Smith, Schuster, Devonte Parker none with more than fifty one yards last week.

Watch this ball goes low Smith Schuster goes down. Yeah, this ball hit the ground.

New Orleans defense against the pass five tds allowed against five picks, and they've held quarterbacks to a low seventies rate.

Holding ones with the end zone. That's in a sentence, Isaac yet him.

They didn't, of course, play to those levels in Week four. Gave up two hundred and forty plus yards to Baker Mayfield, three touchdowns and rating over one fifteen.

And throws diving, but did he get in the end zone down a time, gets touchdown.

Patriots pass defense has held quarterbacks to a sub ninety rate and twenty twenty three under six and a half yards per attempt.

Prescott knocked out good play Julyanni Tavia.

Week four versus Dak Prescott over two hundred and sixty yards allowed over seven point five per attempt, rating near one ten.

Open mix the catch in Patriots territory.

Par relies on wide receivers to move the ball for the most part.

Anyway.

Michael Thomas fifty yards in their loss last week, fifty plus in all four games in twenty twenty three.

You know, the Saints fans are happy to have a healthy Michael Thomas. They just call him a violent receiver.

Christo Lava only one catch, four yards on six targets. That's unusual.

Love Ball came out in a hurry. It ruled in complete.

New England's defense versus wide receivers specifically not as good as they are against others. Rating allowed to that position almost one hundred.

Rusher Prescott in trouble floats one first down Michael Kallipscott.

It cuts it up the sideline.

Patriots have to be able to handle Alvin Kamara as a pass catcher as well. Fourteen targets in his return, seven more than anyone else, thirteen.

Catches, dumps it off to Tamaran third down and what I'm wrong by seven?

Tamara to catch only thirty three yards, which is two point five yards per reception. Would have been better had he just ran it, because he hit at four point

Tamara thirteenth touch of the game and he picks up nine.

On the running back front, New England gave up four point three a run to Tony Pollard on eleven attempts, but they haven't played backs bad through four games. As many corrections as they need to make on defense doesn't compare to how much work they have to do on offense. Their passing attack was only part of the problem versus Dallas. Their run game just two point three yards per carry.

Week four, there's Rabondre Stevenson. There's just nothing on the left side. Cowboys just destroyed that side.

Of the lot.

Saints may have an advantage here. No problems with Tampa Bay's rush attack. They've held running backs to three point six a run in twenty twenty three.

Wait, now that's a surly. As soon as he gets the football.

Turn over battle will be big. Saints lost two fumbles in Week five.

Balls out on the near sack. Well, the Bucks have another takeaway.

New England gave the ball away three times.

It's another interception. It's picked off by Bland up Dain.

New England also has to go without outside linebacker Matthew Judon in this game. He's hurt third down. Both teams were bad last week on the biggest down in football on both sides of the ball. It's been a rough couple of weeks for both teams. One will leave feeling better. Which is it? The Washington commanders are at home looking to snap a two game skid, taking on the winless Chicago Bears. Both teams having reason for optimism, though at the QB position no less.

Fields rolling right. He's gonna turn it up or is he gonna throw it? He does, It's down number.

Two for taking Chicago's justin fields looked so good for three quarters last week. He threw for three hundred and thirty five yards, four touchdowns, a rating over one thirty. For the game, he looked like he did when he was in Ohio. Yields with Tom t first down Washington. Sam Howell comes in feeling groovy as well. Two hundred and ninety yards are rating close to one hundred Week four. Some big time throws in the clutch Howel one last chance.

It is a touchdown on their last breath.

Howell put up his stats against a defense that didn't give up seventy points the week before.

Too.

Now the question which young signal caller keeps it going on a short week. Howell's work is dependent on wideouts. Johan Dotson caught that TD had nine targets Week four. Curtis Samuel had fifty plus yards on eight targets.

Howel steps into one.

It has Curtis Samuel, Samuel Scamper's for sixteen yards.

And their wr one. Terry McLaurin ten targets versus Philadelphia eighty five plus yards.

Back shoulder throwing a great catch by Terry McLaurin.

The Chicago pass defense, Howel and company face a rating allowed over one point fifteen for the year, have allowed over seventy percent of pass is to be completed, and to wide receivers are rating allowed over one oh eight.

He's looking deep. He's got hims down.

There goes BIMs and ten person reading in field goal.

Rates, fields breakout showing saw him rely on mostly tight end cole Comet to tds over eighty yards on nine looks.

Fields wide up in his come touchdown bears, how did cole Comet.

Get so open?

And on Dj Moore nine targets Week four over one hundred and thirty yards and a touchdown.

He's gonna take a shot top field has got what's him no signal.

Yet touchdown More could also go off again if Washington doesn't figure out how to play wideouts better. They gave up one hundred and seventy five yards and two touchdowns to aj Brown last week.

Hurts going sideline Brown and a perfect drop in the bucket for a first down.

Washington also gave up seventy eight yards to DeVante Smith. Have allowed a plus one ten rating to the wide receiver position.

As the deep ball got hit us, he let it go to Tay Smith.

What a Cats commanders have played the tight end spot great though a sub seventy rating allowed to that position.

You've got a deep shot, but that's going to be covered well by the deep safety.

So just nowhere really to go with that football. Probably expect to see a lot of shopping this week. Howel was bagged five times in week four nine four six.

Pressure coming howled in trouble and he.

Shot fields and Howell could replace Cheech and Chong as the modern grass expert duo went down three times last week.

Play fake pressure's coming Fields left the football sticks up off to the races.

This week he tries to elude the fearsome forsome no sacks last week for Montese Sweat and Deron Payne. Jonathan Allen and Chase Young each had one, though.

Under presser Chase Young gets to him and hammers him down fields.

Isn't take looking off as often this season. Four carries Week four. The Bears run game has Khalil Herbert, though, who went for over one hundred yards on the ground. Nice five point seven a carry.

Goes Herbert Man, he's got road, what's one man back and turner Yell may have saved the touchdown.

Washington's defense held Philadelphia's runners to under four per run. Very impressive.

They're gonna run it on third and eleven at a carry us play call with a ball coming out.

The Commanders rely on Brian Robinson to handle their running duties. Punched it in versus Philadelphia.

Robinson again, HiT's the whole hard Robin Citizen touchdown.

Washington only three point two a carry, though, but facing a Chicago front that gave up ten point three a carry to Jalil McLoughlin. Only seven tries, but that's a lot of yards for midfield.

He's got the speed in the Bear's territory. I ripped down from behind at the twenty six by Brisker.

This isn't South Park versus Denver Okay, Craig, Craig, Okay, Craig, It's not these clubs want to win.
