Before the year started, I was ready to watch the Dallas Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Steelers duke it out for the Lombardi Trophy. The Steelers made the playoffs but them making it to the Superbowl is a longshot at best. After one of the worst years in modern history, here are the teams that pulled…

Best-Dalvin Cook RB Minnesota Vikings-30CAR 163YDS 3TD 2REC 3TGTS 63YDS 1TD Cook not only proved that he is one of the best backs in the league, but he also single-handedly beat the division-leading Green Bay Packers. The Vikings came into week 8 after their bye sitting at 1-5, which was good, one of the worst…

Best-QB Russell Wilson Seattle Seahawks-20-32 217YDS 3TD 1INT 70.8QBR 100.7RTG This was not Wilson’s best game statistically but he gets my best player of the week because he was the reason the Seahawks won this game. The Vikings shut down the Seahawks in the first half, 13-0, but Wilson didn’t let that stand. He threw…

Best-Baker Mayfield QB Cleveland Browns-22-28 297YDS 5TD 1INT 97.3QBR 135.6RTG The media have blasted no one in the NFL more than Baker Mayfield for failing to win a big game. This week his play was almost as good as his commercials. He went 10-18 119YDS 1TD 2INT as the Browns fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers…

Best-Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense-10PA 5SACKS 2INT 1TD  The Buccaneers’ defense may not have been the best overall on paper, but they shut down the hottest offense in the NFL, QB Aaron Rodgers, and the Green Bay Packers. This was the week’s biggest game, and the Buccaneers needed the win much more than the Packers did…

Best-Aaron Rodgers QB Green Bay Packers-27-33 327YDS 4TD 0INT 96.9QBR 147.5RTG This is the second time that I have Rodgers as the best player of the week, which hurts my heart as a Bears fan, but he has been the best. Week four’s performance was better than week one. Rodgers put up this massive primetime…

The NFL began the 2020 season by developing COVID-19 protocols to ensure a smooth season. For two weeks the 2020 NFL season had gone unaffected by the COVID-19 virus. But just as the back-patting began, there was a small blip on the radar in week three that went largely ignored. The Atlanta Falcons had the…

Best-Patrick Mahomes QB Kansas City Chiefs-31-42 385YDS 4TD 0INT 97.7QBR 133.5RTG Everybody has been talking up QB Russel Wilson, QB Josh Allen, and QB Aaron Rodgers for their impressive starts, and they are all well deserved. But the reigning Super Bowl Champ, Patrick Mahomes, wanted to remind everyone that he is the best QB in…

Best-Dak Prescott QB Dallas Cowboys-34-47 450YDS 1TD 5CAR 18YDS 3TD 85QBR 126.3RTG The Dallas Cowboys came home to take on the Atlanta Falcons after a disappointing loss to the Los Angeles Rams in week one. The Falcons also came in needing a win after falling to the Seattle Seahawks. This game started ugly but would…

Best-Aaron Rodgers QB Green Bay Packers-32-44 364YDS 4TD 0INT 92.9QBR 127.5RTG 1CAR 2YDS Over the offseason, one of the dominant headlines was whether or not Aaron Rodgers had finally reached the end of his career. Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks of all time but hasn’t hit 30 touchdowns the past two seasons. Last…
