Just a point of perception from here.
Packers played against a Rams team that had the best defense yet GB rolled up 32 points. The Rams were beat on first downs which is how GB won the game. They never gave up the ball. Time of Possession was 36 minutes for the Packers with 28 first downs. LA had only 17 first downs. Play calling was horrendous for LA which contributed to the loss for the Rams. Rams HC made some ridiculous calls.
Bills were masterful on defense. In Fact - if Cleveland would have played defensive formations like Buffalo, the Browns would have been traveling to buffalo this week. The Bills didnt care about Jackson passing the ball. They had 8 men in the box for 90 percent of the plays during the game. That alone, is how Buffalo won this game. On offense the Bills also scaled back the passing routes to make the plays less risky. Allen was 23-37 with all short pass completions. He had only 2 completions for 20 yards. . While watching I noticed that all they kept playing for was field position. Remove the 101 yard interception return and the Bills might have lost.
Cleveland lost to KC simply because they never blitzed. 6 different times the Chiefs were 2nd and 10 or more and converted every time for a 1st down - 2 times on 3rd and 20 or more! In the first half the Chiefs never punted and they had 11 first downs on the first 22 plays! That probably never happened in any other game all year by any team. Even late in the game when Mahomes went out they never blitzed on 3rd and 13 and 3rd an 11 against Henne. The worst rule in the NFL is when a player fumbles through the end zone you get nothing for your drive and just give the ball back to the other team that didnt earn it? LOL. Talk about stupid rules. Do they think this is the NBA? KC did what the Bills did. They kept 8 men in the box for most of the game which totally shut down the run game to the left when the Starting Left guard went down on the first play of the game. KC was always ready on the right side after that and it was evident all day. Play calling and linebackers off the ball by more than 5 yards all day on defense for Cleveland is what lost the game. Even on short 3 downs plays for KC if they needed 3 or 4 yards, the Browns DB;s were always 7 yards away at the snap. Result...1st down KC every time.
Tampa's win was not anywhere near they way the game came out. It actually was Brees being exposed for now we know - had a bad arm because he couldn't throw the ball more than 20 yards accurately or hard enough. 3 int's were all that changed the game in Tampa's favor.
This week the games should be interesting.
