All games from NFL Sunday glance.
NFL Vlog with Spengemann: The football party was really cool
Minnesota Vikings – Chicago Bears 17:19
Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy couldn’t put anything together for a long time. He threw two interceptions. But the recipient disappointed him several times – the egg often slipped out of his hands. Superstar Justin Jefferson was very upset and slammed his helmet on the bench.
Shortly before the end, McCarthy discovered his killer instinct again. Three minutes before the end, Minnesota regained control of the ball. McCarthy walked down the field and threw for a touchdown with 56 seconds remaining. Receiver Jordan Addison was there.
Game over? Are you kidding? Are you serious when you say that! On the kickoff return, the Bears ran down the Vikings’ half and were within field goal range.
Kicker Santos hit it from 48 yards. A win for the Bears!
This means Chicago moves to 7-3, while Minnesota at 4-6 may have no chance of making the playoffs.
New York Giants – Green Bay Packers 20-27
It’s all set up for the usual Jameis Winston madness. The quarterback celebrated his season debut against the Packers as Jaxson Dart was sidelined with a concussion.
The Giants even had a chance to win. But with 36 seconds remaining, Winston threw an interception. When the Giants regained possession, the ball was knocked out of his hands. End.
But there are some concerns for the Packers.
On the one hand, the team is actually playing for a Super Bowl title – something you haven’t seen in recent weeks. On the other hand, the Packers’ life insurance policy, running back Josh Jacobs, is out due to injury.
Atlanta Falcons – Carolina Panthers 27:30
Bryce Young shows it to EVERYONE!
Carolina’s quarterback has endured a lot of pain since he started two years ago. Last year he was even put on the bench, but then struggled to get back up. He played the best game of his NFL career against the Falcons. He had 448 yards and three touchdowns.
There is real drama at the end:
Running back Dowdle ran for a touchdown. But the video center reported and took back the playback. Dowdle might be half a millimeter out of bounds. The touchdown is gone.
Well then, don’t – Young thought and soon he was throwing a touchdown himself. The ensuing two-point conversion was also good. Therefore the Panthers lead by three points.
But like the Bears, the Falcons managed a long kickoff. With 16 seconds remaining, the score was tied with a 45-yard field goal. Extension.
The Panthers won there. Fitzgerald converted a 28-yard field goal into the game-winner.
At 6-5, they were even able to beat the Buccaneers. Atlanta, on the other hand, may have to say goodbye to the playoffs at 3-7.
Tennessee Titans – Houston Texans 13:16
Another tight box!
For a long time there was a sensation – a Titans victory. But things remain interesting with Mills backing Texas. In the end, Wright kicked a 35-yard kick for the win.
The Texans improved to 5-5.
Buffalo Bills – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 44:32
Keon Coleman is causing a stir in Buffalo. The receiver was suspended for a cracker duel against the Buccaneers because he was said to be late to the team’s weeklong meeting for the second time this season. As his colleagues warmed up, he was in a good mood and danced happily. However, when asked if he had learned any lessons, he said: “No, I don’t think so.” In that case…
However, Bills quarterback Josh Allen didn’t need it.
He threw two interceptions, but also scored six (!!!) touchdowns! Three thrown, three runs.
Backup running back Tucker excelled for the Bucs, scoring twice.
Jacksonville Jaguars – Los Angeles Chargers 35:6
Who would have thought this kind of friction would happen to the Chargers?
The Jaguars were nearly unstoppable with their running game. Jacksonville ran off four touchdowns.
The Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was injured after being sacked hard. He will be back again, but will be taken off the field early as a precaution.
Along with the Colts, Jacksonville continues to be a surprise this season. With a 6-4 record, the Jaguars are firmly on the playoff track. There are two more games against division rival Indianapolis. So a division title is possible.
Pittsburgh Steelers – Cincinnati Bengals 34:12
The Steelers had quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Jaylen Warren out early. But it was enough against the Bengals without him.
In fact, Cincinnati’s hopes rest on quarterback Joe Burrow, who is now back at practice. But with a 3-7 record, they could leave it at that and rest Burrow.
