Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images With the Detroit Lions off until the night, come hang out with us during the rest of the Week 10 NFL games. Sunday for Week 10 in the NFL kicked off with a Germany game that could have been considered an international incident. I’m not sure anyone in the world wanted to willingly watch the New York Giants take on the Carolina Panthers, but, hey, they managed to fill the stadium. Good for them. Thankfully, the schedule gets much better for the rest of Sunday’s slate. That’s good news for Detroit Lions fans, who must spend this rainy Sunday sitting at home and waiting for their team to play tonight on “Sunday Night Football.” There’s no shortage of games that should be both entertaining and relevant for Lions fans. Take, for example, Commander vs. Steelers—easily the biggest highlight from the 1 p.m. ET slate. Washington (7-2) is the closest team to threatening Detroit’s spot atop the NFC, and they’ll have their hands full with a 6-2 Steelers. If you’re hoping for the Lions to climb to the top of the entire NFL, Broncos vs. Chiefs could be sneaky good. I’m sorry to say the late-afternoon slate is not nearly as interesting. The sad Cowboys are up against the surging Eagles. While I supposed Jets/Cardinals could be entertaining. Here’s the full non-Germany slate: 1 p.m. ET slate Patriots at Bears — FOX (Local game in Detroit) Bills at Colts — CBSBroncos at Chiefs — CBSFalcons at Saints — FOX49ers at Buccaneers — FOXSteelers at Commanders — CBS (Local game in Detroit) Vikings at Jaguars — FOX Late slate Titans at Chargers, 4:05 p.m. ET — FOXEagles at Cowboys, 4:25 p.m. ET — CBS (Local game in Detroit) Jets at Cardinals, 4:25 p.m. ET — CBS If you want to hang out during all of these games, scroll down to the comment section and chat with our community!

6 things we learned from the Giants’ 20-17 win over/loss to the Panthers
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference. – Robert Frost When you come to a fork in the road…take it. – Yogi Berra (Es tut mir leid, ich konnte nicht widerstehen.) Somehow, Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers in Munich felt like it would be the setting for a final decision on Daniel Jones’ career as a New York Giant. Many would say that the decision was already obvious, yet Jones has continued as the Giants’ starting quarterback, despite a season alternating between terrible performances (Minnesota, Cincinnati, Philadelphia) and outings in which he played well but never could light up the scoreboard (both Washington games, Dallas), with only the surprising victory in Seattle looking anything like what one would expect of a QB with a 4 year, $160M contract. Facing the NFL’s worst defense, with a bye next week and a $23M 2025 injury guarantee looming, today might well have been Jones’ closing argument. Would he be on the road to oblivion that so many failed first-round QBs have walked, or would he take a step down the road to success against a vulnerable defense and live to start another game? What did we learn from the Giants’ 20-17 loss to the Panthers? The Daniel Jones era is almost surely over Jones could not have played a worse game today. All of his weaknesses were on full display: Inaccuracy: On the Giants’ first drive, Jones had Malik Nabers wide open on an out pattern on third down, and he threw the ball so far over Nabers’ head that it looked like he was throwing it away. More often, though, this shows up as passes slightly behind receivers (as on the ball to Tyrone Tracy inside the 10 late in regulation that wound up being intercepted) and thrown short of receivers at their feet. Failure to see the field: This shows up even on completed passes, where Jones almost invariably chooses the short option and doesn’t see open receivers downfield. In the second quarter, getting the ball at the 40, Jones threw the ball away when Theo Johnson was open downfield (according to Kurt Warner). Late in the game, on the intercepted pass to Tracy, Nabers had man coverage on a slant near the goal line and it seems that Jones never looked at him. Anticipation: I hesitate to use this as an example because it wasn’t all Jones’ fault, but the disastrous flea flicker play in the second quarter illustrates this. It was a strange play call on third-and-1, and the execution all-around was terrible – Jermaine Eluemunor let D.J. Wonnum get past him to pressure Jones, and the toss back to Jones was not accurate as he had to reach down and to his left and reset his passing stance, but there was a brief window in which Wan’Dale Robinson was wide open on a deep out route and Jalin Hyatt was coming open on a dig in the vacated space behind him, either of which would have been a big play if Jones had gotten the ball out. By the time Jones reset and wound up to throw the ball, though, Wonnum was on him for a sack. The fact is, 0 TDs and 2 INTs with only 190 yards passing against the NFL’s worst defense just won’t cut it. If you have to scramble to get to OT (and that is only because the opponent fumbles) with only 17 points against a defense like Carolina’s, what can ever be expected? It’s time. The Giants have an awful run defense This is not news. We seem to say it every week. But the fact is that when Dexter Lawrence is not on the field, and with Kayvon Thibodeaux sidelined, teams run with impunity on the Giants’ defense. The Panthers racked up 188 rushing yards on 32 carries, a 5.9-yard average, 153 of them by Chuba Hubbard. Hubbard is a very good running back. He is not Derrick Henry. In the past three weeks, he had rushed for 52, 56, and 72 yards. Against the Giants, though, Hubbard rarely got less than four yards on any rush, repeatedly putting Carolina in favorable second and third-down situations. The Giants’ interior defensive linemen today totaled 3 solo tackles and 7 assisted tackles on 30 rushes by Carolina running backs. Giants edge defenders not named Brian Burns totaled 0 tackles and 3 assists. Disgraceful. Brian Burns is worth the money More and more, Burns is becoming the face of the Giants’ defense. Today he had the Giants’ only sack of Bryce Young, had several other pressures, and added 4 tackles and 7 assisted tackles. Burns started slowly in Shane Bowen’s defense: in his first five games, he only had 11 tackles, 4 assists, and 2 sacks. Since then, though, he has had 16 solo tackles, 15 assists, and 4 sacks, despite the absence of Kayvon Thibodeaux on the opposite side that lets opponents exploit Azeez Ojulari. I feel sorry for Tyrone Tracy Tracy has been an amazing value for the Giants as a fifth-round pick who proves every week that you don’t need to pay much – in money or draft capital – to have elite running back play. Tracy broke the 100-yard mark for the second time in the past three games, including a beautiful 32-yard TD run. Unfortunately, he also fumbled and couldn’t hold a pass that became an interception, including the game-deciding fumble on the first series of OT that was directly responsible for the loss. He deserves better. Jalin Hyatt does exist The saga of Hyatt’s tenure as a Giant has been bizarre. It began last year with Daboll sending him on go routes against Sauce Gardner in a pre-season game seemingly just for fun to see what he could do. His deep catch from Daniel Jones in the Arizona game in Week 2 briefly changed the Giants’ fortunes, and he wound up with
Giants-Panthers final score: Giants fall to Carolina in overtime, 20-17
Photo by Adam Pretty/Getty Images Giants fall to 2-8 with fifth straight loss In a tightly-contested showdown in Germany, the Carolina Panthers on Sunday edged the New York Giants in an overtime thriller, 20-17. An Eddy Pineiro 36-yard field goal in overtime provided the winning points. The Giants are now 2-8 and have lost five straight games. The Panthers initially seized control with a 10-0 lead by halftime, and for most of the game, it seemed like Carolina was in the driver’s seat. But the Giants made a late comeback, scoring 10 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 17-17, pushing it to overtime. However, the Giants’ momentum quickly faltered when running back Tyrone Tracy fumbled on the very first play of overtime, allowing Panthers linebacker Josey Jewell to recover. The Panthers capitalized on the short field with the game-winning kick. Chuba Hubbard emerged as the standout for the Panthers, amassing a career-high 153 yards on 28 carries. Meanwhile, rookie quarterback Bryce Young put in a solid performance, managing the game effectively and securing his second consecutive win. Quarterback Daniel Jones threw two costly interceptions. Despite some late heroics, the Giants’ offense fell short again, leaving them searching for answers as they head back stateside. New York now holds the worst record in the NFL heading into the rest of this week. Meanwhile, the Panthers, buoyed by their resilient performance, will enjoy the long flight home with a hard-earned win.

Despite being traded, Jalen Ramsey still considers LA his second home
Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images Ramsey won Super Bowl LVI with the Rams, but now returns as an opponent for the first time Monday night Even after being traded, former Los Angeles Rams Super Bowl LVI champion CB Jalen Ramsey still looks back on his time in LA as ‘amazing’. The Rams famously traded two first-round picks and a fourth in 2019 to acquire Ramsey midseason from the Jacksonville Jaguars, a move that was fundamental to the team’s Super Bowl run just two years later. Fast forward to 2024, Ramsey now returns back to the stadium he called home for four years but as an opponent with the Miami Dolphins, who come into Sofi to take on the Rams Monday night. Regardless of his time with the team not ending how he probably would have hoped, Ramsey made a point of donating $5000 to five different local LA charities prior to the game this week as a thank you gift of sorts to the city that previously cheered for him. “I never got an opportunity to give like a farewell gift to, you know, all the people out there,” Ramsey said Saturday. “It’s like a home to me. It’s like a family. I’ve got some family from out there. My daughter was born out there. Great memories out there. Everlasting memories of community, always treated me and my family right, nothing but loved and respected. So, still got a lot of ties out there. Still go out there often. A lot of positive energy out there. Nothing, like, negative that I could say about my time there.” Ramsey reflected this week about his trade from a struggling Jaguars team to the contending Rams, who, at the time of the trade, were coming off a 2018 Super Bowl appearance and poised to make another shot at the title. “At a time when I stopped liking football as much, I got traded to LA, it just drastically changed everything for me,” Ramsey said Saturday. “It’s amazing, just my whole LA experience. I literally have nothing bad to say about LA or my time in LA at all.” Ramsey continued about his experience in Los Angeles, specifically touching on his 2021 season and how he continued chase the Lombardi trophy that year despite the adversity he faced of having two sprained his AC joints in his shoulders. “It was extremely difficult,” Ramsey recalled. “Especially because I was having a really good year. I was like, ‘I’ll play through it, we’ll focus on it at the end of the year’ and then I ended up spraining the other one. It was definitely torture… It was tough, but, you know, we had a great team. We had great coaches. We were able to prepare well, we were able to practice well. And, it was fun.” Unfortunately, after years of bringing in talent in an effort to secure a ring while the team’s championship window was still open, LA was forced to part ways with Ramsey in 2022 to shed his large cap number and repair their inflated cap situation. The Rams never wanted to lose Ramsey, but securing the franchise’s ability to spend on future rebuilding was a priority and it became a move that they were forced to make. GM Les Snead mentioned how it felt like time had run out on that specific core of players that included Ramsey and another Ram turned current Miami Dolphin, WR Odell Beckham Jr. “You just knew that … I don’t want to say the clock struck midnight, but the core, that team, that senior class, it just doesn’t last forever,” said Rams general manager Les Snead. Ramsey has dealt with some injuries since being traded to Miami, but when he’s been available on the field he has played great for his new team. This season Ramsey has 29 tackles, four passes defended and an interception for the Dolphins fourth-ranked pass defense. The Rams passing game isn’t to shabby itself though, and the team will look to take advantage their former teammate’s sometimes overly aggressive nature. While his style of play has helped him increase his interception total while becoming one of the top corners in the league, it also can get him in trouble and force him to jump routes he shouldn’t. Los Angeles could deploy more double moves and play action plays to possibly get Ramsey looking in the backfield or jumping a route early to take him over the top. Another fun caveat for the game is that Ramsey will have a chance to face his former teammate Cooper Kupp this week. Ramsey spoke about the battles the two used to have in practice and how it made both of them better players in the long run. “They were great,” Ramsey recalled. “I’ve got a ton of respect for Coop. I easily think he’s a top five receiver. He and Matthew (Stafford) have a chemistry, great connection. And yeah, it was it was truly iron sharpening iron. We worked. We made each other better.” Jalen Ramsey only played four years with the Rams, but in those four years he cemented his legacy with the team. He will always be known as a Super Bowl Champion in this city and loved by the fan base. That said though, there will be plenty of time to appreciate what Ramsey did with the Rams another week, as Los Angeles need to take care of business vs a 2-6 Dolphins team that is desperate for a win. LA will need to get a victory Monday night, in what feels slightly like a trap game, if they hope to keep up in a close NFC West divisional race.
Survey of NFL execs name Lamar Jackson Midseason MVP
NFL writer Albert Breer surveyed 20 league executives to create a mid-season awards list. Reigning NFL Most Valuable Player and Baltimore Ravens superstar, Lamar Jackson claimed the midseason MVP award, garnering 12 of 20 votes. Another quarterback, Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills, came in second with three votes. Breer provided the following synopsis via Sports Illustrated: It’s really hard to quantify what his value has become to the Ravens. As a passer, going into Week 10, he was third in the NFL in yards passing (2,379), second in yards per attempt (9.3), second in touchdown passes (20), 10th in completion percentage (68.2%) and first in passer rating (120.7). He’s worked his tail off, and the result is not just an uptick in those numbers, but also better chemistry with young weapons such as Zay Flowers and Isaiah Likely. And he’s still effective enough as a runner to allow the Ravens to run an offense that differs more from the average NFL scheme than any other. At 538 yards and 5.9 yards per carry, a third 1,000-yard season could be in the offing. Simply put, there are few teams constructed more around a single player. He, in turn, has made that setup sing—and proved to be more than worth the trouble to install. Thursday night, when Jackson was once again dominant, he improved his passer rating to 123.2 and extended his league lead in that category. His opponent in midweek, Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals, is the next closest at 108.1. In throwing a perfect passer rating game at Denver last Sunday, Jackson tied the NFL career record. All the stats tell the same story—he’s by far the best pure passer in the league. While simultaneously being the best rushing QB in the entire league. In September, Michael Vick debuted his three-part documentary, “Evolution of the Black Quarterback,” on Amazon Prime. This season, Lamar is writing the very next chapter of that story. Jackson is potentially on his way to becoming the most efficient and most productive quarterback in history. He’s evolving beyond his status as the best “dual-threat quarterback,” a phrase that is much more often applied to black quarterbacks than white quarterbacks and thus sometimes has a racial connotation. Jackson is showing signs of becoming the best quarterback, regardless of skin color. Just like coach John Harbaugh claims to be foresaw in the preseason.
Week 10: Bills at Colts Inactives
Photo by Bryan Bennett/Getty Images Here’s who’s out for Sunday’s upcoming home game against the AFC East leading Buffalo Bills for the Indianapolis Colts. The Indianapolis Colts announced their inactives ahead of the team’s Week 10 home matchup against the Buffalo Bills today: Our inactives for #BUFvsIND: pic.twitter.com/aDFAedfNE1 — Indianapolis Colts (@Colts) November 10, 2024 There are no real surprises here, but the biggest absence today is obviously last year’s lead wideout Michael Pittman—who was already declared out entering the weekend. Pittman Jr. has been battling a balky back throughout the season, and it’s limited his production. He also had a listed finger injury on the injury report. The Colts promoted veteran wideout Laquon Treadwell from their practice squad on Saturday to help serve as additional depth with Pittman Jr. out. Also listed as inactive are defensive end Genard Avery, quarterback Sam Ehlinger, defensive tackle Adam Gotsis, rookie wide receiver Anthony Gould, and safety Darren Hall. Among the Buffalo Bills inactives, neither wideout Keon Coleman (wrist), nor Amari Cooper (wrist) will play on Sunday against the Colts—meaning they’ll be without top wideout(s) of their own.
Silver Minings: Raiders players believe there was lack of organization with the coaching staff
Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images CBS Sports reports on the Raiders newest issues in the locker room The Las Vegas Raiders are on a bye week as they prepare for the second half of their season. There has been plenty of drama so far, from the business decision press conference to the trading of Davante Adams. The Raiders have found ways to stay in the news despite the 2-7 start. That continued with a new report from CBS Sports reporter Jonathan Jones this weekend. He dove into coaching changes and the locker room’s overall feel. The Raiders coaching staff met with the players and let them voice their frustrations; it was not all positive. After Monday’s coaches meeting, the team met with the staff and the floor was open for anyone to speak their mind. According to sources present, a few themes emerged. Players had issues with the schedule not being efficient. There was a lack of organization and “wasting time,” and there was a “lack of discipline and accountability.” One source described the meeting as ending “uncomfortably for all parties.” But, to be sure, this meeting was nothing like one between the players and head coach from almost exactly a year ago The locker room is not kind to Antonio Pierce and his coaching staff. Players’ concerns about the lack of accountability might wake them up. However, if he can’t right the ship and turn the season around, it could also mean the end of the Pierce era. After the bye week, the Raiders will have eight games left. Pierce will have to make the most of it to keep his job.
