Lamar Jackson is the king of the AFC North
The advantage of more division matches at the end of the season is that there are sometimes “division finals”. Baltimore's victory feels like a clarification: the Ravens are the best team in the division. With stars like Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, the goal is the title.
The Steelers are marking time, the defeats against Philadelphia and Baltimore surely show the limits of this team, which cannot compete with the “big guys”.
Jayden Daniels is the face of the franchise
For several years now and until 2023, the Washington Commanders lived in a certain indifference. Between vague identity, lack of stars and sulphurous owner, nothing seemed to be able to save this franchise.
Since then, a new owner has arrived, and the franchise has a face: Jayden Daniels. The quarterback was brilliant against the Eagles with 5 touchdowns and a victory in the final seconds. The former LSU not only brings talent and victories, he brings enthusiasm and sympathy to a franchise that needs it.
Rams favorite in NFC West (default)
The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Jets with difficulty, and saw the other three teams in the division lose. This is mathematically an excellent operation, and it now seems clear that the Rams are favorites in the division.
However, this seems more like a team that is the best of the worst rather than a real contender for the NFC title. The winner will be better placed in the playoffs than the Lions or the Vikings, depending on who wins the division, which is an anomaly this season.
Minnesota will play for the title
With another victory against the Seahawks, the Minnesota Vikings have their destiny in hand. With two wins against the Packers and Lions, Minnesota can become the number 1 seed in the NFC.
Not easy, but not impossible given the level of the Vikings since the start of the season. Sam Darnold is increasingly impressive, and the idea of an extension is far from impossible. In short, all is well in Minnesota.
Jim Harbaugh est un nerd
You're on a Saturday night in the 90s, playing a role-playing game. Around the table there is a player who does all the calculations, including fall damage, slope inclination and moon position.
This man is Jim Harbaugh. And now that he plays football, he attempts and succeeds in free kicks. A first since 1976.
New York takes Giant step towards first pick
Once again ridiculous, the Giants lost while the Raiders won the game of the week against the Jaguars. More favorite than ever for the first choice, the Giants will at least have the right to choose the face who will embody the future.
Kyler Murray, the shadow of a doubt
Author of another disappointing match, Kyler Murray threw a terrible interception when his team needed him. The former No. 1 pick in the draft is no longer the explosive player he once was, and now seems capable of missing even easy throws.
The offseason is going to be hectic in Arizona, because the quarterback question may arise.
Joe Burrow is the real MVP, but you already know that
Yes, it's redundant. Yes, the author of this article is full circle on the subject. But Joe Burrow's season is historic. There are only Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson in his dimension.
With 7 games in a row over 250 yards and 3 touchdowns or more, he established a new record never before seen in history. There is still a little hope of having the Bengals in the playoffs. So maybe?
Tampa Bay is unpredictable
Capable of beating Detroit and Philadelphia with the power of friendship and a fighter mentality as a weapon, the Buccaneers are also capable of completely unplugging. This is what happened this Sunday with a defeat against the Cowboys.
In addition to weakening the position of division leader, Tampa Bay casts doubt on the real level of this team. Be careful not to fall into a negative spiral.
