Saquon Barkley, it was personal
Former star of the Giants, too often abandoned by his line and his team, runner Saquon Barkley has taken his revenge. Author of 187 yards and a touchdown in just three quarters, he marched on the Giants who were too weak.
Author of the best start to the season in the history of the Eagles at the position, Saquon Barkley has already become the centerpiece of the Philadelphia attack. A good omen for the future.
The Saints are lost
New Orleans started the season with two big victories, but since then it has been a disaster. If the attack continued with injuries, the defense seemed lost, without desire and without reference points.
An entire group has given up, and all eyes are on Dennis Allen, the coach who seems to have lost the locker room. Already on a “hot chair” before the start of the season, it seems the time has come to say goodbye.
The Patriots are the worst team in the league
Since a victory in the first week, the Patriots have also been in free fall. If new quarterback Drake Maye hasn't been bad, he is the only satisfaction on this team.
Coach Jerod Mayo said his team was “soft,” and the players are starting to vent to the media. The group is in trouble, the house is burning, and Robert Kraft is looking the other way. For now.
Josh Allen is a good family man
Over the years, Josh Allen's identity has been a risky play, causing many touchdowns but also many interceptions. His 18 interceptions in 2023 are proof of that.
This season, Josh Allen is more conservative and it works. He still didn't give up a single interception, and kept his cool to lead the Bills to victory. The year of maturity? In any case, Allen gets the best out of a group in progress.
Jordan Love, Brett Favre 2.0
Jordan Love obtained a prestigious victory, despite two new interceptions. Author of 7 touchdowns and 5 interceptions over the last two weeks, he often plays with fire, but wins the victory in the end.
Far from the style of Aaron Rodgers, he is rather reminiscent of another Packers star at the quarterback position: Brett Favre. Still spectacular, but harmful for fans equipped with pacemakers.
Lions are NFC favorites
Few teams can boast of being in a better dynamic than the Lions. Even without Aidan Hutchinson, even with almost letting the game slip away, Detroit still finds a way to win.
The offense runs, and the defense makes big plays when necessary. Dan Campbell's men are on a mission, and it shows every week.
The Falcons are inconsistent
Every week, the Falcons offer a different face. It wasn't good tonight. Kirk Cousins first. This team seems to have the potential to win many matches, but the group is still under construction.
If the situation is not surprising, with a new coach in charge, it is time for Atlanta to find the formula so as not to end up missing the playoffs.
Jayden Daniels is useless
It's obviously provocative, and the weakness of the opponent helps, but seeing Marcus Mariota destroy the Panthers demonstrated that the good start to the season does not rest exclusively on Daniels. Kliff Kingsbury controls his offense, his system, and he can even run it with Marcus Mariota.
Washington is therefore a team capable of overcoming adversity. It's not nothing.
Ultimately, Mike Tomlin was right
When Mike Tomlin decided to replace Justin Fields with Russell Wilson, it was complicated to see the former Seahawk single-handedly revitalize the offense. However, Wilson offered a great performance with a total of 37 points scored against an excellent defense.
All players seemed to play better with Wilson in charge, and that's no coincidence. If he can regain his leadership from Seattle, this team could become very dangerous.
Anthony Richardson is a masochist
The Colts quarterback seems to be looking for injury every week.
