On the second drive of the game, Aaron Rodgers took a vicious hit from Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr, which broke the signal-caller’s collarbone. The injury will cause A-a-ron to miss the remainder of the season, and third-year QB Brett Hundley will be under center the rest of the way. Hundley finished Sunday with an 18-for-33 line with 157 yards, a touchdown, and three picks in the 23-10 loss. Yikes.
It looked like a clean hit, but it’s inevitable that Wisconsinites will be having some whine with their cheese on Sundays from here on out. Some have already dug in.
For the first time since Week 17 of the 2016 season, the Giants have won a regular-season game! Not only did they pull off the 23-10 upset, but they did it sans six starters and one week after losing three wide receivers. The team should really consider pulling a “Costanza” by retiring and not playing the rest of the schedule. Kidding, but not really.
It wasn’t a game that saw Eli Manning light up the stat sheets, but a win is a win is a win—the win was mainly due to the play of Justin Pugh holding Von Miller at bay. (Pugh must’ve been pumped up after we interviewed him.)
Left for dead by the Saints and pretty much every fan and pundit, Adrian Peterson switched up the script and ran for 134 yards and two scores on 26 touches in his first series with the Arizona Cardinals. Arriving to the team earlier this week following a trade with New Orleans, Purple Black and Gold Dark Maroon Jesus made his presence felt immediately.
This game was a wild one: It featured 90 total points, a valiant comeback effort, big plays galore, five turnovers from the highest-paid player in the NFL, and eight total turnovers combined between the teams. Perhaps the most amazing fact from this game: New Orleans QB Drew Brees amassed just 186 yards while his team scored more than half a C-note in a 52-38 win.
Stop us if you think that you’ve heard this one before: The Falcons held a large lead against a team they totally dominated in the first half, yet they found themselves on the outside looking in when all was said and done. Yep, Sunday’s Week 6 debacle had shades of the Super Bowl 51 let-down from last season, albeit with not as much on the line. Atlanta was resting on a 17-0 lead at the half against the Dolphins yesterday, but lost 20-17. It’s one thing to let Tom Brady come back from a 21-3 deficit, but when Jay Cutler does it, you know you’ve done wrong. (For reference, Cutler had thrown five TDs to four INTs all season.)
