Football season is here!!!

Rams were winners over the Vikings on Thursday Night Football, 30-20.  The Vikings were undefeated on Sunday morning and now quickly have two losses.  They will have to sit on these losses for a bit, the next game for the Vikings is Sunday night, November 3, against the Colts.

The Jets lost to the Patriots and are now in last place in the AFC East, dropping to 2-6 and have lost five in a row.  WOW.  The 25-22 win by the Patriots was done with a TD in the final minute, followed by a two-point conversion.  I figured Rodgers would get them a FG attempt but it never came to be.  The struggling Jets have a quick turnaround, hosting the 6-2 Texans on Thursday night. It doesn't get any easier for New York. 

The Lions got into their Ford Mustangs and drove over the Titans on Sunday, a 52-14 blowout as Detroit improves to 6-1.  Next week the Lions travel to the frozen tundra (well maybe not frozen yet) of Lambeau Field in Green Bay to face the Packers.  

The Ravens who looked unstoppable the last few weeks lost in Cleveland to a Browns team that did not have Watson, ending the Ravens five game win streak.  The Chiefs stayed unbeaten by defeating the Raiders.  Chiefs play the Bucs at home a week from Monday, on November 4, and already are in good position for the playoffs, and even home field, as they are two games up on every team in the AFC. Despite Mahomes having a down season by the stats, the Chiefs just keep winning.  I thought KC would be good, but not 7-0. Mahomes and Ried are the Brady and Belichick of this era.  Lots of football left but no question they are still the team to beat. 

The 49ers beat the Cowboys, Bills beat the Seahawks, Falcons topped the Bucs, and the Chargers won against the Saints, to name a few of the other games.

I thought KC's offense was moving better this week, until they had a bad possession inside the 5 that almost ended in disaster.  That defense made two goal-line stands that were just amazing.  I really think the Chiefs should have held the Raiders to 13 points, but they played prevent on that last possession, which I think they did much too early.  However, I think Spags knew with no timeouts left, they could let the Raiders drain the clock themselves, which is what they did.  Still, I would have much rather seen them play better defense on that last drive.

Deandre Hopkins looked good when he was on the field.  I didn't expect to see him much, due to the complexity of the system Reid runs.  After a full week of practice, he should be able to be more of a factor on Monday Night Football.  The Buccaneers are going to be a tough out, so they better show up to play.

Bad news for the Texans, WR Stephon Diggs is out for the season with a torn ACL.  The Texans are 6-2 and one of the top contenders, not sure how this will impact but we might learn a little bit on Thursday night as the Texans spend Halloween in NY against the Jets.
