There was a day, not too long ago, that the New England Patriots being embarrassed meant bad things for their next opponent.
The Patriots don't have the ability to take revenge on anyone anymore. If there was any question that the Patriots' dominance is a long gone memory, it came on Sunday.in Week 4. While that was an extreme for the Patriots, as the worst loss of Bill Belichick's career, they've rebounded from bad losses before with statement wins. In the old days, Sunday would have been a problem for the New Orleans Saints.
It all might be OK if New England had a quarterback, but they don't. Mac Jones had a promising rookie season and has been fading ever since. He had bad turnovers against the Cowboys last week that took New England out of the game. Early on Sunday, he threw blindly to the middle of the field under pressure, and Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu had an easy pick-6. It all went downhill after that.
With Tee Higgins out with a rib injury, Chase was the only receiver Joe Burrow had eyes for. He had a monster game with 15 catches, 192 yards and three touchdowns and the Bengals got a huge 34-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The Jets' offense will be extremely limited the rest of the season, but Hall is a fantastic playmaker. He was being worked back slowly over the first four games, but then the Jets said he wouldn’t be restricted in Week 5. He looked like he was all the way back on Sunday.Goff was a throw-in for the Detroit Lions on a blockbuster trade by the Los Angeles Rams. He balanced the salaries so the Lions could send Matthew Stafford to Los Angeles.
The Falcons are 3-2. They're probably not good enough to beat the elite teams in the NFL, but they can stay in playoff contention beating lesser opponents. Maybe Sunday was a sign that Ridder is taking a step forward, which would raise Atlanta's ceiling.Last season, the Vikings went 11-0 in games decided by seven points or less. It was an NFL record and one that might not be matched for a long time. That takes the coin flipping on your side a lot of times in a row.
