It’s the eighth Sunday of the 2021 NFL season and we’re keeping you updated on all the action and biggest storylines throughout the day.
The 44-year-old Tom Brady has looked immortal for most of the 2021 campaign, but the Saints forced the GOAT into some head-scratching plays Sunday — none of which were more damaging than his interception to P.J.
As if the Jaguars needed something else to go against them, Travis Homer corralled the onside kick like an infielder fielding a routine grounder, ducked in between two Jacksonville defenders and was off to the races for the score.
With Jared Cook head still upfield, Herbert’s pass fell into the hands of a diving Adrian Phillips, who quickly got up and returned his second interception of the day 26 yards for the touchdown.
I can say with confidence that Trevor Siemian to Alex Armah will be the unlikeliest touchdown connection in Week 8.
Despite Jameis Winston being carted off the field with a knee injury, the Saints have still hung tough against the Buccaneers on both sides of the ball.
Geno Smith threw a laser toward the front-right pylon, and DK Metcalf, with a defender draped all over him, picked it out of the air and got both feet in bounds for the 16-yard touchdown.
The Titans took a huge step toward winning the AFC South with a 34-31 win over the Colts in overtime.
All hope looked lost for the Jets down, 31-20, in the fourth quarter, but after a touchdown, interception from defensive end Carl Lawson, and another touchdown, and a Mike White catch for the two-point conversion, New York took a three-point lead with just under four minutes to play.
There was nothing, and I mean nothing, there for Justin Fields on fourth-and-one from the 49ers’ 22-yard line.
Sam Darnold has had tremendous success running the ball against the Falcons , but sometimes it’s just better to slide.
We know Tee Higgins can make the most contested of catches, so the wide-open ones are almost automatic for the Clemson product.
The Eagles deserve all the candy for how they’re playing, albeit against the winless Lions.
Josh Allen has been discarding Dolphins defenders all afternoon, but through the majority of three quarters, he and the Bills have managed just a single field goal.
Facing 3rd-and-20 from their own 16-yard line, the 49ers were probably thinking, “Let’s just get this ball out to Deebo Samuel behind the line of scrimmage and let him help out our punter.” But Samuel is no ordinary receiver, so when he caught the ball, he stepped out of one tackle, weaved through the Chicago defense and was off to the races, bringing the ball down to the 1-yard line before finally being knocked out of bounce.
Despite three first-half turnovers, the Jets only trail by three at halftime against the Bengals.
Brown tied up the game with a 57-yard catch and run into the end zone.
The Eagles dug into their bag of tricks in the second quarter against the Lions, as Kenneth Gainwell took the pitch and then threw back to Jalen Hurts, who hit a tightly covered Dallas Goedert for a sizable gain.
He scored his seventh touchdown of the year Sunday, catching a short pass from Matt Ryan and doing the rest for a 15-yard score.
A Ryan Tannehill interception set up the Colts inside the 10-yard line, and on the next play, Carson Wentz hit Michael Pittman Jr.
Hardly anyone gave the Jets a chance to hang with the Bengals after both teams’ performances last week, but New York came out firing in front of their home crowd this afternoon.
The Colts know field goals will not be enough to beat the Titans, so on fourth-and-goal from the two-yard line, they kept their offense on the field.
The Panthers are looking to get back into the win column after three straight defeats, but their Week 8 game against the Falcons started about as bad as it could have.
A win for either the Cleveland Browns or Pittsburgh Steelers would allow them to stay within striking distance of the Ravens and Bengals, while a loss would cement their last-place standing, making it more and more likely that their playoff hopes would be tied to making the wild card.
