“BIG NFL WEEKEND”
=========
There are important games lots of places in the NFL with the final two weekends ahead of us. There are headlines everywhere.
CHARGERS-PATRIOTS..Justin Herbert (18TD-3Int) has been marvelous. So has rookie WR-Lad McConkey (69R-13YPC). The rest of the offensive has been unreliable or inconsistent. But the Bolts are (9-6) and should finish with 11-wins and maybe a home wildcard game. The Patriots are (3-12) with a woeful offense (298Y), a rookie QB-Drake Maye (2159P-14TD) who has taken 47-sacks and a defense (41TD) that has given up (342YPG).
BRONCOS-BENGALS..A blown Denver win last week that will haunt them. Bo Nix has been great (2200P-22TD) and the defense has stood out (51 sacks), but I don’t know how Denver stays in the game against Joe Burrow and his MVP numbers (4229P-39TD-8Int) and WR-J’Marr Chase (108R). What has ruined a Cincinnati season (7-8) is a defense (360YPG)
RAMS-ARIZONA..Sean McVay’s troops have won 8-of-10. Matthew Stafford has thrown for big yards (3573P)..and the WRs-Cooper Kupp-Puka Nacua have combined for (135Y)…Arizona has collapsed losing 4-of-5…despite a big play offense (353YPG)..but QB-Kyler Murray has reverted back to turnover issues.
GREEN BAY-MINNESOTA…Big games every weekend in the Black & Blue Division…The Packers are (11-4)..Jordan Love has strong armed this team all year (3135Y-24TD) and Josh Jacobs (1212Y) has been dominant…Sam Darnold is the story in the Twin Cities (32TD-105R)..the duo WRs Jefferson-Addison have combined for (148R-15YPC)…This will be wild on Sunday

SEATTLE..Hard to believe have lost 6-home games this year..wasting Geno Smith (4176)
Bowers has been a true star this year. As he breaks Ditkas record, the key that everyone is ignoring is that Mike set the record with 56 catches in 14 games. During that era, a TE averaging 19.2 yards per catch was is amazing. Winslow had his best at 14 2, kelce is at 12.5 for his career. Bowers is special and might break that record, but Ditka is still #1.
