The Buffalo Bills are still the first-rate crew in the NFL, but the rest of the league is mired in parity. Both the New York Giants and New York Jets are two of the 8 teams with as a minimum four wins this season, and have catapulted up the ratings, from 27th and 28th, respectively, in my preseason strength rankings to the pinnacle 1/2 of the league. On the other quit of the spectrum, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers preserve their freefall after back-to-lower back losses against both aforementioned New York groups.

1. Buffalo Bills (five-1, ultimate week's rating: 1)

I stated this two weeks ago and I'll say it once more: Josh Allen is the NFL's first-rate player and ought to be a runaway favorite for league MVP. After a beautiful, otherworldly display within the Bills' 24-20 win over the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, Allen ranks first among all qualifying quarterbacks in EPA according to dropback (0.30) and is tied for first in passing touchdowns (17). On Sunday he changed into the first-rate quarterback on a subject that included Patrick Mahomes—a real alien.

2. Philadelphia Eagles (6-zero, closing week: three)

Jalen Hurts ranks simply fifteenth in EPA in step with dropback (-0.01) and fifteenth in yards in line with try (6.Ninety five) over the last 3 weeks, but mediocre passing numbers haven't mattered. Starting offensive linemen Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata have each overlooked time because of injuries, but that hasn't mattered. The group ranks twenty fourth in factor differential in 2nd halves (minus-22) and 29th within the fourth zone on my own (minus-25), however, once more, it hasn't mattered.

When Hurts does miss throws, Miles Sanders and the running sport can choose up the slack. If the offense can't create explosives downfield, Dallas Goedert and A.J. Brown can make performs after the catch. The run protection ranks just twenty seventh in yards in keeping with deliver allowed (four.Ninety nine), but the bypass defense ranks 2d in opponent net yards consistent with strive (4.93). It's complementary, undefeated football in a league where no one else can claim this kind of feat.

3. Kansas City Chiefs (four-2, ultimate week: 2)

Bills cornerback Taron Johnson secured a recreation-clinching interception to prevent any very last-minute heroics from Patrick Mahomes and hand the Chiefs their 2nd lack of the season, but Kansas City continues to be a clean no. 2 within the AFC. Mahomes is 1B to Allen's 1A amongst quarterbacks proper now, and a good way to preserve the groups on a trajectory to the AFC championship game regardless of the helping cast. Still, if Mahomes is tasked with beating the Bills in Buffalo come past due January, he'll have a difficult time doing so—mainly while the relaxation of the team isn't giving him a ton of assist. Kansas City's offensive line ranks twenty eighth in stress charge allowed (36.Five percent), and the defense ranks twenty ninth in success price (fifty two.Nine percent) through Week 6.


four. Minnesota Vikings (five-1, remaining week: 8)

I haven't any idea what to do with the Vikings proper now. The offense and protection are middle-of-the-percent in terms of efficiency. Kirk Cousins ranks twenty first in EPA in line with dropback (-zero.04) and nonetheless hasn't rid himself of the can't-get-it-achieved-in-high-time label after his disastrous Week 2 overall performance against the Eagles on Monday Night Football. But Minnesota is 5-1 in a parity-ridden league in which 63 percentage (20 of 32) of the groups have two or three wins thru Week 6.

The Vikings are currently priced at -290 to win the NFC North and the handiest NFC group after the Eagles with a win total presently set above 10.Five on FanDuel. It's an extended road ahead with 11 games remaining inside the season, but the route to the no. 2 seed in the NFC is theirs to lose right now.

5. Baltimore Ravens (three-3, final week: four)

In the Ravens' three losses, they've trailed for a combined 1 minute and 58 seconds. In the crew's Week 6 road matchup towards the Giants, Baltimore led 20-10 with 12:54 ultimate within the fourth region before committing turnovers and permitting 14 unanswered points to lose in regulation. Lamar Jackson threw a highly-priced interception in a panic after a terrible snap after which fumbled on a strip through rookie Kayvon Thibodeaux after Thibodeaux beat backup tackle Patrick Mekari, who entered the game whilst Morgan Moses turned into carted off in the 2nd sector.

"We just keep beating ourselves up," Jackson advised newshounds after the game. "Our fighters are NFL groups, they're desirable. But I feel we're simply beating ourselves with mistakes here and there."

Jackson, his looming settlement state of affairs, and even his mother are all fielding unjust complaint. The offense is brazenly too dependent on him to be a superhero for four quarters every week, and defenses are catching on. Injuries to Moses, jogging back J.K. Dobbins, and pinnacle receiver Rashod Bateman haven't made matters any less complicated, however almost each crew is licking some wounds by way of now. After ranking sixth in offensive EPA according to force via the first 3 weeks of the season, Baltimore ranks 18th inside the equal statistic in weeks 4-6.

6. Los Angeles Chargers (four-2, closing week: 7)

The Chargers are extraordinarily fortunate that 6th-round rookie Ja'Sir Taylor compelled a muffed punt and installation the following game-winning field aim in extra time in opposition to the Broncos on Monday Night Football. Justin Herbert recorded season highs in dropbacks (sixty one) and completions (37) inside the 19-sixteen win, however he couldn't make some thing happen downfield. He completed the sport with simply 238 passing yards, zero touchdowns and a select; his four.18 yards in step with attempt average was a season low and ranked twenty seventh amongst starting quarterbacks in Week 6.

Herbert will rebound, but the Bolts' issues on early downs are ongoing. The Chargers are moving the chains on first downs just 15.6 percentage of the time, that is the fourth-lowest charge within the NFL. They've also faced ninety one third downs this season, three more than any other group inside the league through Week 6. Chasing explosives on first and 2d all the way down to avoid living on third down is paramount for the group's postseason aspirations.

7. Cincinnati Bengals (3-3, last week: 9)

Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase need to play hero ball every week for the Bengals to transport the ball offensively. The early-down offense ranks twenty ninth in EPA per play (-0.10) and thirtieth in first-down conversion percentage (15.Three). Among the 28 running backs in the league with at least 60 carries this season, Joe Mixon ranks closing in yards after touch in line with strive (2.06), and the offense as a whole ranks twenty ninth in EPA in keeping with rush (-zero.15). There are many locations to factor the finger: At the offensive line; at conservative play caller Zac Taylor; at Mixon; hell, even at Burrow whilst he holds the ball too long and takes terrible sacks. All of it's far leading to an offense exceedingly dependent on unsustainable third- and fourth-down performance. Burrow ranks fifth in EPA according to dropback on 1/3 and fourth downs (zero.31), and Chase shares the league lead in first-down receptions on such downs (11), but the early-down offense certainly has to get higher to keep away from collapsing under regression in destiny weeks.

eight. Miami Dolphins (3-3, remaining week: 6)

There are carnival rides with fewer twists, turns, highs, and lows than the Dolphins' quarterback room this season. Among the 31 s callers with 120 or more dropbacks through Week 6, Tua Tagovailoa ranks 0.33 in EPA in line with dropback (zero.26), at the back of most effective Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. But Tagovailoa has handiest performed in 4 of the crew's six games and neglected time due to damage in of his 4 starts. Backups Teddy Bridgewater and 7th-round rookie Skylar Thompson have filled in sporadically while coping with accidents in their own over the past 3 weeks, and the Dolphins have lost all 3 video games.

But they're nonetheless shifting the ball amidst the quarterback carousel. In weeks four-6, Miami ranked 9th in yards in line with recreation (377) and 6th in passing yards in step with game (279). That's a proverbial tip of the cap to first-year head train Mike McDaniel and his high-flying receiver duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, who rank first and fifth in yards per course run, respectively. McDaniel and the group's velocity at receiver isn't going anywhere regardless of who's under center in South Florida.

nine. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-three, closing week: 5)

Tom Brady could be very rightfully annoyed. The Buccaneers have dropped 3 of their closing 4 games, two of them with the aid of a blended four points in opposition to the Packers and Steelers, all at the same time as Brady has controlled top-10 marks in EPA in step with dropback (zero.10) and adjusted internet yards in keeping with strive (6.9). In that identical four-sport stretch, he ranks fourth in passing yards on throws made 10-plus yards downfield (497). Brady is still Brady, but the assisting solid simply isn't conserving up its stop of the good deal.

Running again Leonard Fournette, who ranks 6th within the league in total includes (ninety five), ranks 25th in yards consistent with bring (three.6) and twenty sixth in yards after contactper bring (2.4). And Tampa Bay receivers rank twenty eighth in yards after the seize consistent with reception (4.6). Brady desires extra out of this institution to avoid weekly screaming spectacles at the sideline.

10. New York Giants (5-1, ultimate week: 16)

I've been on the front of the increasing "Brian Daboll is freaking extremely good" movement since the Giants' Week 1 win over Tennessee, while the primary-yr head educate animatedly got after QB Daniel Jones and went for the gutsy cross-in advance -point conversion. But that guy Daboll become screaming at weeks in the past is deserving of some late reward, too.

The Giants are the most effective NFL team without a 2 hundred-yard receiver (Richie James leads the team with 189 yards). The offensive line has allowed stress on forty six.6 percent of dropbacks, the second one-maximum price inside the league. Yet, Jones has still controlled the thirteenth-ranked EPA according to dropback common (zero.05) and, greater impressively, Jones ranks 7th in the same statistic whilst saved clean (0.10) inside the 5 video games considering the fact that Daboll ripped into him in Week 1.

eleven. San Francisco 49ers (3-3, last week: 10)

The 49ers are one of the maximum damage-plagued teams in the NFL. Multiple starters, along with Trey Lance, George Kittle, Nick Bosa, Trent Williams, Arik Armstead, and Jimmie Ward have neglected (and some will continue to overlook) games this season. And starting cornerback Charvarius Ward (groin) and offensive address Mike McGlinchey (calf) didn't play within the 2nd half of the team's 28-14 loss towards Atlanta in Week 6 due to accidents. The floor for San Francisco with head teach Kyle Shanahan and megastar shielding coordinator DeMeco Ryans remains excessive. Hell, even Jimmy Garoppolo ranks pinnacle-10 in EPA per dropback (0.09) on account that replacing Lance in Week 2. But every sport goes to be a slugfest if San Francisco can't continually field their stars.

12. Dallas Cowboys (four-2, ultimate week: 12)

Nothing blurs the imaginative and prescient of enthusiasts (and even some country wide media) like wins. Cooper Rush became undefeated in 4 starts offevolved with the Cowboys after Dak Prescott went down in opposition to the Buccaneers in Week 1, but in the end picked up his first loss in top time against the Eagles on Sunday Night Football, optimistically taking a nail gun to the coffin of the Rush-over-Prescott conversation. Over the 5 weeks Rush has began in Dallas, he's ranked 27th in EPA according to dropback whilst kept easy (-0.05). Prescott ranked 9th and 6th inside the same statistic each of his remaining two full seasons quarterbacking the Cowboys (2021 and 2019). It's not that complicated—Prescott is the Cowboys' great quarterback through a country mile and one of the league's pinnacle 10 at the location. He's predicted back for Week 7, and now we'll get to look what the 2022 Cowboys are clearly made from.

thirteen. Los Angeles Rams (3-3, final week: 13)

Beating up at the hapless Panthers at home is a pleasing confidence booster, however the Rams' long-term prospects in the NFC are nonetheless worrisome. Matthew Stafford is already underneath pressure on the 9th-highest price in the league (33 percent), and now starting left tackle Joseph Noteboom will leave out the relaxation of the season with a torn Achilles. Constant strain is making matters tough for the Rams to create explosive performs and for Stafford to have any fulfillment throwing downfield, as he's tied for 27th in total completions on throws of 10-plus air yards. The end result is an offense that ranks just 30th in offensive EPA per force, ahead of simply the Steelers and Panthers.

14. Green Bay Packers (three-three, last week: 11)

Much has been made of the Packers' ineptitude on offense, and rightfully so with destiny Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers rating twenty fourth in EPA per dropback (-zero.07), however the protection merits its own proportion of the blame. Overall, the Green Bay defense ranks 20thth standard in success charge (57.Eight), but the run protection ranks 30th in shielding EPA in step with rush (-0.05) and twenty fifth in yards earlier than first contact allowed consistent with try (1.Seventy nine). Even before permitting 179 yards and two touchdowns at the floor towards the Jets in Week 6, the Packers ranked thirty second in EPA in step with rush allowed (zero.25) when playing -excessive coverages, consistent with PFF's Mike Renner. Offenses are having their manner with a Packers team that has spent each of its final three first-spherical alternatives on protection, and Rodgers—for the primary time in awhile—isn't making up for it on the alternative quit.


15. Denver Broncos (2-four, last week: 14)

It's time to hammer the panic button in Denver. The offense ranks twenty ninth in EPA in keeping with drive (-zero.Fifty three) and 30th in success fee (36.1 percentage) with a $242.6 million quarterback on the helm. Russell Wilson is seemingly blind to open receivers over the center and best narrowly salvages some efficiency with the occasional moon ball, as he ranks just 23rd in EPA in keeping with dropback (-0.06). And with Javonte Williams sidelined for the the rest of the season, the dashing attack is nonexistent. Only the Colts have a lower EPA in step with rush common than the Broncos through Week 6. This offense is neither explosive nor efficient, and Wilson and primary-12 months head educate Nathaniel Hackett are answerable for almost it all.

sixteen. New York Jets (four-2, last week: 26)

I need to express regret to Robert Saleh and the Jets die-hards. I wrote the team off after Week 1 and laughed at Saleh's receipts rant, but he and the Jets haven tested me quite incorrect.

Not too distinct to the alternative New York group seeing early-season success, the Jets have conquer a myriad of injuries, talent deficiencies, and terrible quarterback play to win football video games as weekly underdogs. Among quarterbacks with 60 or extra dropbacks at the year, Zach Wilson and Joe Flacco rank 32nd and 34th, respectively, in EPA in keeping with dropback. Saleh's defense, however, has risen to the occasion in greater methods than one.

Standout rookie Sauce Gardner, who fittingly crowned himself after a dominant display in Green Bay, and DJ Reed Jr. Rank 9th and seventh in passer rating allowed this season, in keeping with PFF, and the Jets are one in every of simplest groups with two qualifying protecting backs in the pinnacle 10. Quinnen Williams is also the seventh-ranked shielding tackle in PFF grade, and the bypass rush as a unit ranks eighth in strain price (36 percentage).

17. Atlanta Falcons (3-3, ultimate week: 24)

Arthur Smith has been under fire for Kyle Pitts's underwhelming fable soccer output, however the Birds are buzzing regardless. The Falcons haven't lost a recreation by way of more than six points this season and are one of the 14 groups with a positive factor differential. The offense ranks seventh in EPA according to pressure and sixth in EPA consistent with dropback, and that's with Pitts ranked 22nd among tight leads to PPR points on the season.

18. Indianapolis Colts (three-2-1, final week: 18)

Matt Ryan turned into slinging it all over the backyard on Sunday. Easily his exceptional recreation in a Colts uniform, Ryan completed 42-of-58 passes for 389 yards, three touchdowns and zero alternatives in a 34-27 win against an impressive Jaguars defense. He completed the week 2nd in EPA consistent with dropback (zero.33) behind Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. The offensive line remains a large number, as Ryan ranks twenty first in compelled dropback percent (32.7), but his young, towering receiving corps gives motive to shop for potential repeat performances from Ryan moving ahead.

Indianapolis' two leading receivers, Michael Pittman Jr. And Alec Pierce, are 6-foot-4 and six-foot-3, respectively. And 6-foot-7 tight quit Jelani Woods leads the crew with three receiving touchdowns, plus 6-foot-five tight cease Mo Alie-Cox has another two. The length gain is gambling to Ryan's strengths and need to give defenses nightmares if the group can retain to improve.

19. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-four, last week: 15)

The Jaguars protection performed their worst game of the season towards the Colts in Week 6. Matt Ryan seemingly couldn't leave out, and his huge-bodied receiving corps bullied the Jacksonville secondary to a pulp. After entering the week tied for fourth in factors allowed (eighty), the Jaguars allowed unmarried-sport season highs in factors (34), first downs (29) and general yards (434) towards a Colts crew that ranked final in the league in EPA in step with offensive drive (-zero.91) going into the game.

Trevor Lawrence threw a low, misguided bypass intended for an open Christian Kirk on third-and-1 that set up an unsightly fourth-down speed alternative call from Doug Pederson main 21-19 late within the 1/3 area, however the Jags nonetheless scored on their next possession to take the lead with 2:forty four closing. The trouble become the defense, which eventually gave up a pass-beforehand landing with less than 20 seconds closing to rookie Alec Pierce.

20. Seattle Seahawks (3-3, remaining week: 23)

Geno Smith is not the most efficient quarterback in football after a lackluster Week 6 performance, but he and the offense nonetheless rank fourth in EPA consistent with pressure (zero.46) and third in fulfillment fee (50.Five). Betting markets, but, are still casting widespread doubt over the Seahawks inside the futures marketplace regardless of the truth that they're in a 3-way tie at three-3 with the Rams and 49ers inside the NFC West. FanDuel currently fees Seattle at +1000 to win the department and +500 to make the playoffs at all. Getting the Seahawks at 10-to-1 to come back away with the NFC West crown because the 49ers wade through limitless injuries and the Rams dig out of a hellish hollow on offense screams cost.

21. Tennessee Titans (three-2, ultimate week: 19)

After losing starting left address Taylor Lewan for the season in Week 2, the Titans offensive line has long past from awful to worse. In the three video games they've played given that, Ryan Tannehill has been under strain on forty five.9 percentage of his dropbacks, accurate for the 1/3-maximum price inside the league, and Derrick Henry ranks 27th amongst qualifying backs in yards earlier than first contact according to try (0.99). The direction to consistent achievement for the offense is tough to see, and the twenty eighth-ranked protection in yards allowed per recreation (390.8) ain't lots higher. Tennessee desires a street win over the department rival Colts off a bye to proper the deliver, as they're presently at the back of the Colts at +160 to win the department and -112 to miss the playoffs on FanDuel. A win in Week 7 usually changes those odds appreciably.

22. Arizona Cardinals (2-4, ultimate week: 17)

There is no way to paint the Cardinals in a superb light right now. They didn't score an offensive touchdown towards a Seattle defense that ranked thirty second in yards allowed in line with sport (430) and twenty fourth in protecting fulfillment fee (55.Four) going into Week 6. Only the Lions, Commanders, Panthers and Steelers have a worse point differential. To make topics worse, extensive receiver Marquise Brown is predicted to overlook six weeks with a foot fracture.

The correct news is DeAndre Hopkins returns from his suspension for the Cardinals' Week 7 domestic contest with the Saints on Thursday Night Football, and the group lately traded for disgruntled speedster Robbie Anderson. Roster upgrades on paper, for sure, but it stays to be seen if Kyler Murray and Kliff Kingsbury can maximize the additions to the offense.

23. New England Patriots (3-3, last week: 25)

Fourth-round rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe is undefeated in his first profession starts offevolved, and over that two-week stretch, he ranks fourth in EPA per dropback (0.21) behind Josh Allen, Daniel Jones, and Patrick Mahomes. Unsurprisingly, Bill Belichick is non-committal on who will start when Mac Jones is wholesome. Regardless of who receives the begin moving forward, Zappe's success is an amazing positive for a New England offense that struggled out of the gate. The Patriots ranked 28th in offensive EPA per force via the first two video games, however have climbed up to tenth in the last 4 weeks.

24. New Orleans Saints (2-4, closing week: 20)

Because the Saints still rank tied for 14th in overall sacks (thirteen), the ineptitude of New Orleans' protecting line has flown below the radar in 2022. Even after going in opposition to a awful Bengals offensive line in Week 6, New Orleans ranks 32nd in strain charge (22.5) and 31st in total pressures (forty eight). Marcus Davenport leads the team with 19 overall pressures, but ranks simply tied for 30th within the NFL, consistent with PFF. No different Saints defender has extra than 12 pressures on the season. Bet on New Orleans' sack-to-strain conversion price regressing and the 16th-ranked skip protection following suit.

25. Cleveland Browns (2-four, final week: 21)

Very especially, the Browns have the 0.33-ranked offense in EPA consistent with power, however there's little purpose to back the crew lengthy-time period. Three of Cleveland's six warring parties this season rank 20th or worse in yards in keeping with game allowed, and their only two wins on the season have come against the Panthers and Steelers—the 2 least-green offenses within the NFL.

26. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-four, closing week: 29)

Mitch Trubisky very enormously staved off Tom Brady and the Buccaneers after taking over for an injured Kenny Pickett (concussion) with the Steelers leading thirteen-12 midway through the 1/3 zone. He finished 9 of his 12 passes for one hundred forty four yards and a touchdown, which includes five successful conversions on 1/3 down. The Buccaneers outgained the Steelers by using 34 yards and picked up five greater first downs, however Trubisky and business enterprise outplayed Brady's crew on third downs and within the pink sector—two risky areas of the game however catalysts to a win, despite the fact that.

Whether it's Pickett or Trubisky getting the nod on the street in opposition to the Dolphins subsequent week, the Steelers offense is still in problem. Running returned Najee Harris is one of the league's least-efficient backs at developing yards after contact, and each Pickett and Trubisky rank twenty fourth and 35th, respectively, in EPA in line with dropback among quarterbacks with as a minimum 60 dropbacks.

27. Las Vegas Raiders (1-four, final week: 22)

Head educate Josh McDaniels and GM Dave Zeigler didn't go away the Patriots, change for and pay Davante Adams, and extend Derek Carr, Hunter Renfrow, and Darren Waller to win one game in 5 weeks. Even though the offense has been less than perfect in excessive-leverage situations (e.G. Crimson region, 1/3 downs), the Raiders nevertheless ranked fifth in offensive EPA consistent with pressure (0.Forty) earlier than their bye in Week 6. The protection is simply considerably underperforming.

Las Vegas ranks 28th in points allowed consistent with recreation (26.0) and twenty ninth in shielding EPA in line with drive (-zero.Forty nine). Even with Maxx Crosby's 22 pressures and 6 sacks this season, the unit ranked 20th in strain price in weeks 1-five. Veteran Chandler Jones, who the Raiders sed to a 3-year, $fifty one million settlement this offseason, ranks 39th in PFF skip-rush win fee (12.7) among area defenders with a hundred and twenty or more bypass-rushing snaps this season. New shielding coordinator Patrick Graham definitely has to dial up the blitz to create any stress. Coming into Week 6, the Raiders ranked thirty first in stress price (23 percentage) without the blitz and 0.33 after they do send greater rushers at fifty three percentage. But they are able to't simply blitz each play, especially with a banged-up, talent-bereft cornerback room.

28. Detroit Lions (1-four, ultimate week: 27)

As amusing as it's miles to make the same played-out kneecap jokes anybody has been making considering Dan Campbell was employed and cheer on the underdog Lions every week, the crew (and with any luck the kneecap jokes, but likely now not) got here crashing down in flames in a 29-0 loss in opposition to Bill Belichick and former Lions head train Matt Patricia in Week five. Jared Goff and the offense, which finished Week four ranked 5th in offensive EPA in line with power (zero.Seventy four), without difficulty had its worst showing of the season, and the defense still ranks thirty second in EPA in step with play thru six weeks. Cheering for losses and a better chance at one of the top quarterbacks within the 2023 NFL draft is smarter than making a bet the Lions at +660 to show things around and make the playoffs this season.

29. Washington Commanders (2-4, closing week: 28)

Carson Wentz underwent a hit surgical procedure on Monday after struggling a fractured finger in this throwing hand in the group's win over the Bears on Thursday night. He's expected to miss four-6 weeks. Players getting harm is by no means suitable news, however the glass-1/2-complete appearance is that Washington's quarterback play can't get a great deal worse with Wentz out. The handiest quarterbacks with a hundred and twenty or greater dropbacks and a lower EPA common than Wentz this season are Joe Flacco, Mitchell Trubisky, Davis Mills, and Baker Mayfield— of these men are 2d-stringers. Wentz additionally stocks the league lead in sacks (23) and has thrown six selections and misplaced a fumble (with five different fumbles that were recovered with the aid of Washington) via six games, however the worst of it all has been his downfield accuracy. He ranks thirtieth in finishing touch percentage on throws 10-plus yards downfield at 37.Five percent.

Veteran Taylor Heinicke, who began 15 video games for Washington ultimate season, will replace Wentz beginning against the Packers at domestic in Week 7. He finished the season ranked twenty fifth in EPA in step with dropback (-0.05) and led a Commanders offense that ranked twenty sixth in achievement rate (42.1 percent).

30. Chicago Bears (2-four, final week: 30)

Velus Jones Jr. Muffed a fourth-sector punt to set up Washington's move-in advance landing. The offense scored 0 points on 3 goal-to-move conditions. Darnell Mooney ran too shallow of a route and couldn't trap the ball cleanly on the game-clinching fourth down. But Justin Fields is playing better, and that is extra essential than any tally the Bears upload to the win column this season.

Fields changed into lousy, borderline unwatchable to begin the 12 months. Through his first three video games, he ranked 28th in EPA according to dropback (-zero.14) and thirty first in adjusted net yards according to strive (1.Seventy three). In the 3 video games since, Fields ranks pinnacle-15 in both records. He's nonetheless underneath constant strain—in reality, on an NFL-high fifty two percent of his dropbacks—however he's playing with better self belief and advanced accuracy every unmarried week.

31. Houston Texans (1-three-1, final week: 31)

Davis Mills and the offense are gambling their way to a brand new quarterback next offseason, which is precisely what the medical doctor ordered for the rebuilding Texans. Houston ranks twenty seventh in offensive EPA according to pressure (-zero.49), and Mills is the catalyst of all of the inefficiency. Only Baker Mayfield has a decrease EPA according to dropback average thru Week 6 than Mills. The two main favorites to head no. 1 inside the 2023 NFL draft are Ohio State's C.J. Stroud (+190) and Alabama's Bryce Young (+260); start turning on those men' video games, Texans trustworthy.

32. Carolina Panthers (1-5, ultimate week: 32)

Interim head educate Steve Wilks despatched Robbie Anderson to the locker room after a couple of confrontations with the training body of workers inside the middle of the Panthers' 24-10 loss to the Rams in Week 6, but perhaps the whole group ought to have left with him. The Rams outgained Carolina by way of nearly 160 yards and picked up 22 first downs to their eight. Quarterback P.J. Walker, who began in place of the injured Baker Mayfield, didn't even whole a skip extra than five yards downfield and completed the game with a zero.Five average intensity of goal and 60 yards passing.

On Monday the team traded Anderson to Arizona for 2 Day three selections, however the fire sale shouldn't stop there. Carolina wishes to easy residence.
