The NFL’s eighth Sunday saw some teams rise and fall, with standout performances from players like Jameis Winston, George Kittle, and Malik Willis. Winston led the Browns to a victory over the Ravens with 334 passing yards and three touchdowns, while Kittle shined on National Tight Ends Day with a touchdown and record-breaking catches. The Eagles and Bills also had strong showings, while the 49ers and Lions emerged victorious in their matchups.
On the flip side, the Jets, Bears, Cowboys, Saints, and Colts all struggled in Week 8. The Jets lost despite a solid defensive effort, the Bears faced criticism for their play calling, and the Cowboys and Saints suffered disappointing losses. Anthony Richardson struggled for the Colts, and the Ravens’ pass defense faltered against Jameis Winston.
Looking ahead, the Monday Night Football matchup between the Steelers and Giants promises to be an interesting one, with Russell Wilson making his debut for Pittsburgh. Najee Harris and the Steelers’ defense will also be key factors in the game.
Overall, Week 8 brought a mix of surprises and disappointments for NFL teams and players, setting the stage for more exciting matchups in the weeks to come. Stay tuned for more updates and analysis from The Athletic’s daily NFL newsletter.
