The usually excellent Ravens are in a hole. And it could get a lot deeper | NFL

THe Kansas -City Chefs And the Baltic crows entered the Sunday shales in very unusual circumstances – the two best teams have fought over the past few years. Both were 1-2, and after the victory of the leaders 37-20 on Sunday, the crows are in real problems that are usually not expected from such a usually stable franchise.

First, leaders. This crime was a problem Overcome by Patrick a flywheel For a long time, for various reasons, but at least after one week delay from such worries. Mohames were dynamite, having completed 25 out of 37 passes for 270 yards, four landings, without interceptions and a rating of passers -by 124.8. This helped this fast receiver, which Xavier Warti returned to effect for the first time from the first week, and the decent justified his … Well, the cost with five catches by 83 yards. Magomes threw the landing passes to four different receivers, and for the first time in Goodness knows how long, Andy Rayd’s crime was a funny hour.

Magomes Also made the story of the NFL (Again), but the revival of the crime of the CS as a whole was much more important. When throwing past sticksMagomes, which last season was the least effective deep passers -by NFL, completed nine out of 14 passes for 133 yards, three of its landing and a rating of passers -by 134.8.

It’s not that the crows got on the field at the Arrowhead stadium with something approaching a healthy composition, and it got worse when the game continued, especially when Lamar Jackson left the game in the third quarter with the problem of the podokreniki tendon. Midfielder Rocuan Smith and corner defender Marlon Humphrey also came out, and Baltimore’s defense was already without the passage of Kyle Van Noah, and the protective gear of Travis Jones and Nnamy Madubuike.

So, perhaps, a victory against an battered enemy does not mean that Kansas -City has completely returned. But at least 2-2, they may still think about tickets for the playoffs. We will learn more about what this actually means when Mohames and his team will go to Jacksonville for a game next Monday against the surprisingly meager defense of the jaguars.

Meanwhile, the raven-1-3 for the first time since 2015, long to leave a deep hole. And if they need to do this without Jackson for some time, their chances become much longer: 1-3 teams do not continue to make postseson, not to mention their star player. As for the fact that this is worth it, the head coach of John Harbo, the description of the injury, was: “There is nothing that looks like at the end of the season, for any segment for everyone.”

If the ravens have one fleeting hope, this is that the rest of the north of the AFC is not quite amazing. Browns (more on them in a minute) spend a lot of protection, Bengals are not bad, and a styles-brown bag with someone who knows that from a week to a week. The loss would be much more heavier for leaders who live in the West AFC with Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers.

MVP weeks

Ashton Jeti, RB, Las -Vegas raiders. Not often a player in a losing team receives this award, but if the Dallas Cowboys midfielder Chuck Hawley can do this at Super Bowl V, Ganti can do this despite the fact that his team lost 25-24 Heartbreaker from Chicago BEARS. While the RADERS quota -Toterbek Jeno Smith was busy with removing the defeat from the jaws of the victory with three interceptions, Ganti – the sixth common choice in the 2025 draft after a transcendental career in the Boyce -Stata – finally looked like the distribution that raiders wanted. Through his first three games, Jinti failed to shoot at the terrible line of the offensive, but some personnel and schematic changes, including the Cellie chip, allowing the adoption of the same style of the preliminary statement that was so successful in the college, finally paid off. Gendi scored 138 yards and scored the landing for 21 transfer, and he caught a couple of aisles for 17 yards and two more resultsField

If you are mortally offended by the concept of MVP “losers”, there is another MVP week on the bear’s side – security Kevin BayardWHO I chose Smith twice

Video (s) weeks

There is only one choice for this, and the COLTS Indianapolis Adonai Mitchell receiver would obviously prefer them to be not. Mitchell had talent in the first round, but did not always develop a reputation on the same page as the play, and he was taken in the second round last year. But he was on the way to his first NFL Landing against Los -Angels Rams on Sunday until he was. In the third quarter, Mitchell made one of the best catches that you will see this season on a deep pass from Daniel Jones, went a free journey to the final zone, and then took up a premature holiday.

Former Philadelphia receiver Orlov Top Jackson the most (c) is known for this specific errorBut he is far from the only one. In December last yearI wrote about an epidemic of players who throw the ball before they reached the final zone, Including Colts running back, Jonathan TaylorField

It was really a hard day for Mitchell – in the first quarter of Rams, Cam Kerl gave Jones his first interception of the season on another deep goal in Mitchell, and It seems that Mitchell knew From the fact that Kerle was about to jump along the route. Then, from 2:25, who remained in the game, which was connected at 20-20 at that moment, Mitchell denied the mitchet that it would be a 53-yard landing of Jonathan Taylor.

Rams scored the landing on their next disc, it ended 27-20, and Mitchell should deal with the fact that he cost his team two landings in the same day in his career, in which he never scored. It is difficult to overcome.

Statistics of the week

45 The number of times in his NFL career, when Josh Allen had at least one passing landing and one rapid landing in one game. Allen reached this brand in victory with Billes 31-19 over the holy new Orleans, and this connected him with Kam Newton for the most such games in the history of the League. Newton needed 11 seasons to get there; Allen made this feat for seven full seasons and four games. He is not just an amazing NFL-defender of the MVP NFL is also not a web, and there are times when it resembles a sporting region, who is in its size.

In another place of the league

In his Sunday night game against Green Bay-Pacakers, Cowboy Dallas noticed their guests at 13 points, which seemed especially generous after he transferred Miku Parsons to a flock a month ago in a transaction in which the protection of cowboys looked terribly in the first three games of the season. But they resisted when the game ended 40-40, The second largest score in the tie In the history of professional football, and it will be difficult for you to find a more exciting game in football annals than this.

Eighty points suggest that the protection of cowboys is still not enough Parsons-and, perhaps he also did not turn Packs D into the world unit. But this would be a bear’s service for an excellent defender game from Duck Pressokott and Jordan Love, who threw each for three landings … and zero interceptions. When the game is as excellent as this – This catch was only one of the main points -It is better to forget about disputes outside the field and evaluate what exciting experience can be football. It seemed that this took place for Parsons and his old teammates, many of which he warmly welcomed at the end of the game.

-Gart between Pittsburgh Stylens and the Minnesotsky Vikings, which marked the first raid in the NFL in Ireland in Ireland, began as an unexpected festival of the effectiveness of the defender. Neither Carson Wenz nor Aaron Rogers abandoned part -time until the Ventz was removed by Stylers Safety of Room Ellitt from 5:58, left in the first half. Ventz, who was in another team every season since 2020, then continued his usual dichotomy between “WAU” plays and those who deserve much stronger (and insurmountable) adjectives.

In the end, this victory 24-21 for Stilers went down on the final trip of the crown, which began at 1:08 of the remaining. With the ball on his own 20-Yard line and the need to get into the far range for the hill in a hurry, the Ventz became the victim of his own worst trends. He received his team to the 39th-Yardovaya line of Minnesota, before the delay in the game and deliberate grounding fines tore off everything. In the fourth and 17, Ventz threw into the middle in a flock, and Elliott’s pass ended in the game.

Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell can be the best NFL game designer, but with such a guy as a crown, you can only lead him to the water. Meanwhile, Stylers They were a Riverdance Their way is home.

-This week, the head of the New York Giants, Brian Dabull, did the right thing, announcing that Jaxon Dart would replace Wilson's Russell with his defender, and the newcomer won 21-18 (the first giant season) over the chargers from Los Angeles with the participation otherwise. Dart was supposed to play most of the game without Malik Naber after the receiver, one of the best NFL, received a torn ACL on Catastropical lawn of the Metlife stadiumThe field more than that, Dart also encountered the protection that entered on Sunday Seventh in NFL In effectiveness with the enemy adjustment.

This did not matter for a beginner who completed 13 out of 20 passes for 111 yards, landing, without interceptions and a rating of passers -by 96.0. Dart also rushed to 54 yards and another landing. In 2025, the scouting plant Dart said that his ideal defender is Jalen Harts, and it was very similar to the pain: to do as a passer -by to win.

-On Sunday, there was one intermediate battle of the 3-0 teams, since the “Philadelphia eagles” experienced “Tampa-Bay Buildings” 31-25 after they ran to the leaders 24-3 and 31-13 to the major of Mayfield, and the boxes woke up. It was an old school pier, to such an extent that you expected Brian Dokins and Warren Sapple and exchange blows.

While BUCS took too much time to attack and surprisingly corresponded to the defense, the eagles simply did what they do – enough to preserve victories that are impressive or not. Hurts completed 15 out of 24 passes for 130 yards, two landings, without interceptions and rating of passers -by 104.5 – This is without filling a single pass in the second halfThe field Savon Barkley ran 19 times in 43 yards and landing, and yet the eagles almost won this leaving. Although BUCS has enough to impress most of the weeks, it was a case when they learned a lesson about how to win, when you need – regardless of how it looks.

-A week after they were omitted 30-0 from Carolina Panthers, in whom one of the worst defense of the NFL, the “Sokols of Atlanta” went against Washington’s commanders in a decisive mood. This time, in victory with a score of 34-27, which pushed his team up to 2-2 in the season, Michael Penix Jr. completed 20 out of 26 passes for 313 yards, two landings, one interception and rating of passers-by 126.0. Perhaps it was a week of awakening for the attack of Atlanta, but the Penix looked more under control than at any other time in his NFL career, and ran away to Bijan Robinson (who could make a list of NFL as a slot receiver) added in his career in 181 yards from the fight. NFC South is slightly more open after the BUCS loss, and the falcons already have protection at the playoff level. If this is a true turn, Atlanta will suddenly become a team.

-This was a good career for Joe Flakko, but the time has come to hang them as an 18-year-old veteran. Cleveland Browns spend a lot of protection with the terrible game of the defender, and this happened again in their loss 34-10 for Detroit lions. Only this time, the thin waffle waffle wafer for a mistake made it out against Detroit’s dynamic crime. Flakko completed 16 out of 34 passes for 184 yards, without landings, two interceptions and a rating of passers -by 39.3. Flacco was a disaster throughout the season, they refuse to shifts the NFL quoters, and if the head coach Kevin Stefansky wants any chance of competitiveness, He needs to exhibit Gabriel dill once and for all once and for allThe field in the end, testing the newcomer QB worked for giants.
