New York Streaks Snapped (Jets & Giants), 2 Rookie QBs Make Debuts & Eagles Stay Perfect (7-0)
Week 8 coming in hot! Sunday in the NFL saw a number of storylines on Sunday. The New York teams saw their winning streaks snapped as the Jets (Patriots) and Giants (Seahawks) both fell. A pair of rookie quarterbacks — Malik Willis (Titans) and Sam Ehlinger (Colts) — made their first NFL starts. The Falcons (4-4) are alone atop the NFC South despite a .500 record. The Christian McCaffrey experiment in San Francisco looks like a home run. The Cowboys (49) nearly hung a half-dollar on the Bears. And the other “top-tier” teams in the league were big winners — the Eagles, Bills, and Vikings. Philly (7-0) is still undefeated. Let’s do a stats and highlights download before tonight’s Monday Night Football clash for the battle of Ohio.
