The NFL's Wild Ride: Upsets, Thrills, and Surprising Performances
United StatesMonday, September 16, 2024
The Chiefs, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, are starting to look like their old selves, but the Bengals' sloppy play and inability to capitalize on scoring opportunities kept them from taking control of the game. Meanwhile, the Saints' offense, led by Alvin Kamara, is looking unstoppable, scoring 44 points against the Cowboys and sending a message to the rest of the league. And the Vikings, with quarterback Sam Darnold, are proving that they're not ready to throw in the towel just yet after a tough loss to the 49ers.
But what's really got everyone talking is the Buccaneers' 20-16 win over the Lions. In a battle of former No. 1 picks, Baker Mayfield outshone Jared Goff, leading his team to a crucial road victory. And don't count out the Jaguars just yet - despite their 0-2 start, they've got the talent and the determination to turn things around.
