WEEK 9: SUNDAY RAPID REACTION

First things first, the Packers really stink. They are joined by the Raiders, Rams, Panthers, and Colts. There is a clear gap between the contenders and pretenders as we officially move into the second half.

The AFC is much more clouded after the Jets took down the Bills. The Patriots put their foot down and saddled the Colts. The Jags, Chargers and Dolphins all survived close calls and escaped with victories. Joe Mixon and the Bengals vanquished the hapless Panthers. The Titans had control on Sunday Night, but failed to close it out as Patrick Mahomes led a comeback to steal the victory.

The Vikings have unofficially captured the NFC North, now they are focused on navigating the playoffs. The GOAT led a last minute comeback to keep the Buccaneers alive in the NFC South and overall playoff picture. The Rams falling to 4-4 is a sign of concern in their Super Bowl defense. The Seahawks continue to soar after defeating the Arizona Cardinals on their way to Munich. The Lions defense shutdown the Packers and pushed them into tank mode. The Bears and Falcons fought hard, but couldn’t capture the win.

Week 9 concludes with 2 squads so rattled by injuries they could literally take fans from the stands. The Ravens and Saints square off on Bourbon Street. I expect chaos and a lot of points.
