My son's in a survivor league.

He wanted to pick the Cowboys.

I had just seen the line movement. Told him the Cowboys were down 4 starting OL and that maybe this wasn't a good week to play them.

He rerouted to Buffalo at my behest. 😬

Bills should have gone for 2!

We usually show the advantage to go for 2 down 4 points around 8-9 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

Prior to tonight, the Bills had recovered their last 15 straight fumbles.

Last time they lost a fumble: 9/29/24 vs. BAL.

The Bengals have taken over last place in scoring differential.

They've been outscored by 71 pts on the season.

Titans are next at -68.

Ravens Defense 😬

Dak Prescott: #1 Passing SumerScore through 4 weeks

At halftime of the early window, 5 QBs are 90th percentile or higher in EPA/play:

CJ Stroud
Daniel Jones
Jaxson Dart
Tua Tagovailoa
Dak Prescott

Hang it in the Louvre.

At the very least, the JD Morgan Center.

Which means they're gonna win 26-23 in OT. I think those are the rules.

Who’s playing the best through 4 games?

We ONLY used proprietary SumerScore data to come up with 1st & 2nd Team quarter pole teams & then discussed the context around the top ranking players & teams today on the @sumersports.bsky.social Show.

Some names surprised me!

3. Bills +43
4. Colts +40
5. Jags +24
6. Vikings +22

Super frustrating, but it’s tough to overstate how huge the loss of Alt was/is, w/Slater already out.

Herbert had to get the ball out much faster.

Couldn’t take as many deep shots. (Almost every pass was under 10 yds til late game desperation shots.)

D: very little film to go on.
Perfect storm.

Washington finished today with more 4th down conversions (2/2) than 3rd (1/8).

Other examples of teams that had more 4th down conversions than 3rd:

Jets- Wk 2- 0/11 on 3rd, 3/3 on 4th
Bears- Wk 16 2024- 2/10 on 3rd, 3/4 on 4th

5 of the Top 12 fantasy RBs, after the early window, are rookies

3. Woody Marks- 27.9
4. Omarion Hampton- 27.5
7. Quinshon Judkins- 21.5
11. Cam Skattebo- 13
12. TreVeyon Henderson- 12.6

*Also worth mentioning: not a rookie, but 1st yr w/ game experience- 10. Zavier Scott- 16.4

That game was so Chargers and so Giants.

Chargers look incredible through 3 weeks, lose their 2nd tackle of the season, and lose to a winless team.

Giants show some potential, win a big game, and lose their star receiver in the process.

Why can't we have nice things? x2

That was just the third 3rd down the Bucs have converted all day.

3-12 now on 3rd vs. PHI

Washington has converted more 4th downs (2/2) than 3rd downs (1/8)

(8:03 to go in 4th)

Why'd PHI do the fake tush push THEN? With a big lead?

Prob would have saved that one.
