Week 9 was a week for upsets in the NFL, as a few favorites dropped their second games of the season. While it wasn’t a high-scoring week, there was at least one shootout matchup that saw both teams put up 40 points. Check out ClutchPoints’ Week 10 NFL Power Rankings to see where your team lands.
It was smooth sailing for the Los Angeles Rams in Week 9, as their win over the New Orleans Saints bumped them up into the top spot in ClutchPoints’ Week 10 NFL Power Rankings.
Matthew Stafford threw for four touchdowns, two of which went to Davante Adams, and Puka Nacua also found the end zone in his return from an ankle injury, catching seven passes for 95 yards. Nacua left with a rib injury and was held out in the second half with the game in hand, as it looks to be a non-serious injury moving forward.
It was a full-fledged showing for the Buffalo Bills offense, as Josh Allen, James Cook, and Dalton Kincaid all looked impressive in their huge win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Allen threw for 273 yards, Cook rushed for 114, and Kincaid caught Allen’s lone passing TD on his way to 101 receiving yards.
Sunday’s win was Allen’s 47th career game with a pass and rush TD, an incredible mark for someone who continues to be one of the league’s best at what he does. This win for Buffalo helped them keep pace with the New England Patriots, who also won their Week 9 matchup.
Week 9 just wasn’t in the cards for the Chiefs, as their offense wasn’t able to string together enough consistent plays to threaten the Bills. Patrick Mahomes completed fewer than 50 percent of his passes and threw an interception (with no TDs), and the offense as a whole was like a stick in the mud, not able to do anything.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers enjoyed a bye in Week 10, one that will hopefully help Bucky Irving get healthy again. Irving has been out since Week 5 with foot and shoulder injuries, and welcoming him back would be a much-needed jolt for the Tampa Bay offense.
The Indianapolis Colts decided to make Week 9 their game to come back down to Earth, as they struggled mightily against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The offense put up 13 points in the fourth quarter but didn’t have enough time to make the full comeback, dropping only their second game of the year in nine weeks.
It was quite the night for Sam Darnold on Sunday Night Football, as his four, first-half touchdowns helped the Seattle Seahawks jump out a commanding lead over the Washington Commanders that they never gave up.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba continues to pace the NFL in receiving yards as Darnold’s favorite...
