Like every Monday, we go with the conclusions after the twelfth day of action in the American Football of the NFL:
This week we had the good version of the Bills, who when oiled up, seem complete like few teams and difficult to beat. Having said that, Josh Allen you have to start limiting losses. Injury to Tre’Davious White it is a hard blow.
1. The Saints are now 0-4 since Trevor Siemian replaced Jameis Winston as the starting quarterback. I understand that they did not have Alvin Kamara, but the offense is a zero to the left and they must consider Taysom Hill. Will it be too late for them?
2. DeSean Jackson proved to be an integral part of the offense, and beyond its numbers, its threat to the deep frees in-between spaces for Hunter Renfrow. The running attack appeared, and the Raiders passed a test of character when we thought they were dead.
3. I understand there were excess penalties, but the reality is that the Cowboys have lost three of the last four games, and the defense is allowing too many big plays. At least they can hold on to Lawrence, Lamb, Cooper and Gregory coming back.
4. Seeing the reaction of Matt Nagy After the Bears win, you can tell what the win meant for the head coach. I don’t think he will be fired in the season, something Chicago has never done, but I do think he will be fired at the end of the year.
5. The head coach Dan Campbell You can get excited at a press conference and get your players to play hard, but in the end, your work has left a lot to be desired. The Lions’ clock management was disastrous, and when you lose so many close games …
6. Bengals are tough opponents when the offense goes through Joe Mixon, who has four consecutive games with at least two TDs. The defense has recorded five sacks and forced five losses in the two games. They swept Pittsburgh for the first time since 2009.

Javier Trejo Garay analyzes the players who stood out this day on the NFL grids.
7. They came back TJ Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick, and they made no difference for a defense that has been a rushing strainer all season. Ben Roethlisberger he threw two interceptions, couldn’t run, and the Steelers were a disaster in a game vital to their aspirations.
8. The Dolphins have won four straight games, and they have the Giants and Jets on the schedule to try and get back to .500. The defense had three interceptions and is playing at a superlative level. Jaylen Waddle keeps blooming in front of our eyes, just like Jaelan Phillips.
9. I have long thought that Cam Newton He shouldn’t be a starter in the NFL, but Sunday’s performance is a low point for him. Little decision, just five completions and two interceptions. Christian McCaffrey he injured his ankle and Panthers’ chances suffer.
10. Went back Corradelle Patterson and the Falcons team returned to success. Patterson surpassed 100 yards rushing for the first time this season and scored two touchdowns. The offensive line is still a problem, and beyond the record, Atlanta shouldn’t be in the playoffs.
11. There is no question that the Jaguars lack talent on offense, but the lack of creativity is also alarming. Yes Urban Meyer continues in his post after this season, I would be surprised if the offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell remains in office.
12. Conscious effort was noted for their most talented players to play the ball more in the post-era Jason Garrett. However, defense was the hero of the day for the Giants. They forced four losses and led New York, which is struggling to score points, to the win.
13. Jalen Hurts had one of his worst games as a professional. He completed 43 percent of his passes and threw three interceptions. They ran efficiently again, but could do nothing for air. Philadelphia has deflated, which at least has the easiest schedule between now and the end.
14. The Patriots have won six in a row and showed they can win in a variety of ways. The ground defense suffered, but they were opportunistic and generated four losses. This week, the attack relied more on Mac Jones, who overcame his problems in the red zone.
15. I understand that the Titans have a lot of injuries, but I would argue that it’s even more important to take care of the ball when that happens. Tennessee has committed nine losses in the last two games, and it’s hard to compete that way. They lost the top seed of the AFC.
16. Went back Zach Wilson and the Jets won, but the rookie quarterback didn’t have a good game. To add insult to injury, his knee suffered again and his mobility was noted to be limited. The defense had five sacks and one interception.
17. Tyrod Taylor faded as the game progressed for the Texans, who may benefit from this loss when the next draft rolls around. Jonathan Greenard he now has eight sacks in eight games and is a high point for Houston.
18. Leonard Fournette he posted a touchdown poker and the defense woke up in the complement for a major away win. Likewise, judging by how they have played on the road, the Buccaneers need to secure home in the playoffs.
19. After taking a 10-point lead, the Colts inexplicably abandoned the running game entirely. I understand the Bucs have a great rushing defense, but you have to Jonathan Taylor and they had to accept the duel of strengths.
20. If it weren’t for the incredible season of Micah Parsons, the Broncos’ rookie cornerback, Patrick Surtain II he would win the Rookie of the Year award comfortably. Now he had two interceptions and a return for TD. In case anyone had any doubts, Drew Lock is not the answer.
21. It is not usual in him, but I saw Justin Herbert lose your temper in your pocket against the Broncos defense. The Chargers were never able to establish the running game and the rookie quarterback suffered. The defense continues to have trouble stopping the running attack.
22. Like last year in the playoffs, the Packers beat the Rams again, although this version of Green Bay is much more physical and dangerous. Next week of rest, that will help to the foot of Rodgers, and they could recover to Smith, Bakhtiari and Alexander.
23. I understand that Matthew Stafford he’s playing injured, but has thrown three interceptions that have been returned for a touchdown in the past three weeks. To put those plays in perspective, it must be said that Rodgers has thrown just three such interceptions in his entire career. Rams in trouble?
2:17
Rest a sore Matt Stafford may be best for a Rams who suffered their third loss in a row, while the 49ers look like the team that made it to the Super Bowl two years ago for solid reason.
24. San Francisco’s third straight win, and this was especially vital against a direct rival. Elijah Mitchell healthy makes all the difference for the 49ers, who have dark horse potential. Of concern, however, are injuries to Deebo Samuel and Fred Warner.
25. The Vikings defense was dominated by the ground. At the same time, they were never able to establish the running attack, although injuries should be of more concern heading into the final sprint. The shoulder injury of Dalvin Cook she looked serious. The offensive tackle was also injured. Christian Darrisaw.
26. The Ravens are the first seed in the AFC, becoming the first team in the past seven years to win despite their quarterback (Lamar Jackson) threw four interceptions. The defense was limited to the most powerful running attack in the league.
27. The Browns defense did its job and generated four losses. But the loss only highlights the offensive problems that Cleveland has, which when he cannot run becomes an offense of the pile with Baker Mayfield at the controls.
