I just can't see it happen, banged up defense or not. The Commanders vs. Buccs game was close, but neither team played really great. Don't forget they only won because Mayfield screwed up. I have not seen many Commanders games in the regular season though, so maybe they had their moments similar to the Vikings. I'd be OK with them beating the Lions, but I just can't see how. I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
Yes, timing was off or he turned in the wrong direction. In any case, he didn't hand the ball over and then just let it go instead of holding onto it. Stupid mistake. That was at in the redzone, if I remember correctly at the 13yds line.
Rams vs Vikings was a mess too. Vikings just didn't show up at all. Not that Rams were great, it was just... meh. Since I got little sleep the night before I fell asleep after the first Vikings drive in the 4th quarter.
In general, games are not great so far. But I guess I could say the same for most games in the regular season. Either hit or miss, same for the performance of the teams. Never expected the Vikings to be so good and so bad this season.
Next week:
Texans vs.
Chiefs
Ravens vs. Bills
Commanders vs.
Lions
Rams vs
Eagles
Winners in bold, based on no further injuries.
I'd like to see the Commanders and Rams win, but I think it's not going to happen. If the Eagles play like they did against the Packers... maybe. But I think they'll get back to their old form. Again, I'd like to be wrong. Ravens and Bills is a tough one. I'd go with the Bills, but I think it will be close and ultimately decided based on flags or lack thereof with the Ravens coming out on top with a difference of one score (a FG).
