Like every Monday, we go with the conclusions after the seventh day of NFL American football: #nflxespn
1.- With Lamar Jackson, you are never out of a match. It was the third time this year that the Ravens reversed a double-digit deficit. However, it was the resurgence of his defense after two bad first series, with a Josh Bynes outstanding, the one that kept them in play.
2.- The main stars of the Vikings, Dalvin Cook and Justin jefferson, they don’t touch the ovoid enough. The fourth round rookies, Cam Bynum and Kene Nkwangwu They shone with their own light and ask for more snaps. The defense looked tired at the end and they were demolished on the ground.
3.- The Dolphins snapped their seven-game losing streak, but there’s not much reason to celebrate in Miami. Did not play Tua Tagovailoa, committed five losses, and failed to exceed 100 rushing yards for the seventh time this season.
4.- He came back Tyrod Taylor after six games away, and threw three interceptions. Houston has still not scored a road touchdown since the second week. Beyond not having the worst record, the Texans may be the worst team in the league.
5. The Falcons nearly blew another three-possession lead. But no running attack, Matt Ryan had one of his best games of the season, he connected with Cordarrelle Patterson in the last series, and Younghoe Koo showed his usual nerves of steel.
6.- Trevor Siemian improved his image after leading the Saints to a recovery that ultimately fell short. But the offensive was asleep through the bulk of the afternoon. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if New Orleans looks for Odell Beckham Jr if nobody claims it in waivers.
7.- The Browns had one of the best offensive performances of the season, a clear sign of support for their quarterback Baker Mayfield, who for many indoors, was unfairly criticized. Nick Chubb He shone again and Cleveland looked like a candidate again.
8.- The sports sins shown by the Bengals against the Jets were confirmed again against Cleveland. Again careless with the ball, they committed three losses and the defense was a strainer on the ground. All of Cincinnati’s rampage was gone in two weeks.
9.- Jacksonville gave the biggest bell of the year, despite having neither James nor Cam Robinson. After playing horrible against Seattle, the Jaguars defense looked dominant with Josh Allen, who had a sack, an interception and a fumble recovered.
10.- Buffalo entered this game as the offense with the highest scoring average in the NFL. However without two of his starters on the offensive line, Josh Allen suffered under pressure and threw two interceptions. While the defense did its part, the Bills looked undisciplined.
11.- It seemed to change to From Miller It was a sign of throwing in the towel. The Broncos defense, with a great game from the rookie Jonathon Cooper, dominated the powerful Dallas offense. Denver also dominated on the ground, though they lost two more offensive linemen to injury.
12.- He came back Dak Prescott But the offense never looked oiled. The offensive line lost the battle in the trenches, they did not establish the ground attack and Prescott was erratic. As if that weren’t enough, the defense was dominated by ground and Trevon Diggs had a bad day.
13.- The Giants defense has now allowed fewer than 20 points in three consecutive games and Xavier McKinney recorded two interceptions. Devontae Booker had a good afternoon on the ground, and after a week off, they would return Saquon Barkley and Sterling Shepard.
14.- Derek Carr he played his worst game of the season; he threw two interceptions – one returned for TD – and had a fumble. A key duel is coming against the Chiefs, as a loss could resurrect ghosts of the previous season for the Raiders.
15.- The defense of the Patriots had a dominant performance. They limited to Christian McCaffrey on the ground on their return, and recorded three interceptions when Carolina was forced to attack by air. New England is another team in which Odell Beckham Jr. would make sense.
16.- The Panthers have to be wondering if Sam Darnold is the answer to the future after another disappointing performance. The problem is that the reserve P.J. Walker, is also not known for caring for the ovoid. Carolina will look for a quarterback next offseason.
17.- Jonathan Taylor He proved he’s already one of the best running backs in the NFL, and the Colts will need to attack more on the ground to control the possession clock, because the defense was once again vulnerable to a globetrotting quarterback and a poor team overall.

Dallas made the mistake of belittling Broncos who made them pay dearly for daring by physically and strategically dominating Cowboys who played without energy, according to coach Mike McCarthy.
18.- I understand that the Jets defense has had some major injuries, but the biggest disappointment in New York is that a defensive mind like Robert Saleh, and the unit cannot stop absolutely nobody; they allow averages of 31 points and 408 yards per game.
19. The Cardinals will have ups and downs like all teams, but this win was a declaration of power. They scored more than 30 points without Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins ni A.J. Green. They recorded five sacks without JJ Watt. Arizona is a deep team confirming that it is a candidate.
20. The 49ers had a golden opportunity and they let it slip away. The defense missed countless tackles and let Colt McCoy move the ovoid at will without key objectives. San Francisco has eight losses in a row at home, but this was definitely one of the worst.
21.- After a couple of games below average, Justin Herbert He showed his best version again. The Chargers defense took significant casualties and allowed many freedoms. But this time, the kicker got it right in the end.
22.- The good news for the Eagles is that for the second week in a row, they dominated on the ground and seem to have found their identity. The bad news is that rivals are shooting them in the air. At least the schedule is quite benign between now and the end of the season.

The reigning NFL MVP increased his value, even without playing, Dak Prescott and the Cowboys receive a strong and unexpected wake-up call and the Bengals are not yet who they appeared to be.
23.- The Chiefs defense took a quality leap and Jordan Love never felt comfortable. We will have a clearer thermometer in the next few weeks. The offense is still in trouble but they took care of the ball and won two games in a row for the first time this year.
24 .- Although it was only his first start as a starter, it was clear that Jordan Love is not ready yet, and I do not know if he will ever be in Green Bay. The Packers defense did its part, but the special teams were a disaster. Year to forget for Mason Crosby.
25.- The Titans made it clear that they are still a candidate despite the injury of Derrick Henry. The defense dominated with Jeffery Simmons and Denico Autry, which were unblockable. They have generated 11 losses in the last 6 games.
26 .- The Rams offensive line was pushed throughout the night. Matthew Stafford He didn’t look comfortable under the pressure and even threw interceptions on back-to-back passes, including a very unintelligent one from his own end zone. Without time, there are no explosive plays.
