WEEK 12: SUNDAY RAPID REACTION

The Sunday slate was a little lite considering there were 3 games on Thanksgiving. The matchups were also lacking the sizzle on paper. This did not prevent the NFL from providing energy on Gameday.

The Dolphins and Jets brushed aside their opponents without any trouble. The Bengals overcame injuries and played with grit and toughness to beat King Henry and the Titans. The Commanders continue to charge toward a playoff spot with their victory over the Falcons. The Denver Broncos continued to show they are not riding anywhere after their abysmal loss to the lowly Panthers. The Browns showed they have a lot of fight left in the tank as they fought back to beat TB12 and the Buccaneers in Overtime. As exciting as that game was, the Jaguars and Ravens took it to another level in the 1pm kick window. Trevor Lawrence showed signs that he is the guy and continues to improve. The Jaguars as a team are much improved from teams of the past. The Ravens offense is still lacking consistency due to injuries.

The 4pm slate was supposed to showcase the Rams at Chiefs as well as Saints at 49ers. These games were snooze fest laughers with the 49ers and Chiefs dominating their challengers. The excitement came from the other 2 games. The Chargers and Cardinals battled all afternoon and the Chargers prevailed with a late TD. Is this victory a breakthrough for Herbert and the Bolts or an aberration? The Raiders and Seahawks gave us an old school shootout as these old AFC West rivals battled in the Pacific NW. Defense was optional all day, which was proven on Josh Jacobs game winning 80 plus yard Touchdown to win it 8n OT. 2 straight losses for Seattle is taking the shine off their surprising start. The Packers gave Philly a battle all night, but Hurts and the Eagles proved too strong, especially with a dominate ground game. Rodgers left with an injury and it could be the last time we see him this year.

The Monday Night tilt looked great on paper when the schedule was released in May. Now that the Steelers / Colts game has arrived it appears we’re in store for a boring 3 hour affair.
