NFL Week 8 grades Saints get an A in Dre

[sdfsdf]

If that was a rusty on the field in New Orleans on Sunday, then the rest of the NFL is probably going to be in a lot of trouble once that rust wears off.After mi sing the ‘ past five games with a thumb injury, Brees finally returned to the field on Sunday and he didn’t mi s a beat. With Brees under center, the Saints offense exploded for 510 yards in a 31-9 win over the . It was the Saints’ first time cracking the 500-yard mark since Week 1 when Brees was also under center.In his return to the field against the Cardinals, Brees threw for 373 yards and three touchdowns. The most impre sive thing about Brees’ performance is that it came barely six weeks after he suffered a thumb injury that was supposed to take up to eight weeks to heal. After dicing up the Cardinals, Brees said his goal was always to return this week, even though doctors had suggest a return after the Saints’ Week 10 bye might make more sense.”This was kind of the week that I had in my mind from the moment that I got hurt,” Brees said. “I think the doctors and everybody were saying after the bye week, but I was trying to fast track that as much as po sible.” Brees clearly made the right call about playing, and once he hit the field, it was David Freese Jersey pretty much impo sible to tell that he had ever mi sed any time. Fittingly, Brees’ first completion of the game went to , and after that, the two seemed to be reading each others’ minds. Brees threw a total of 11 pa ses to Thomas, who caught all 11 of them for 112 yards and a touchdown. Three TDs for QB1 Drew x Mike New Orleans Saints (@Saints) The most surprising part of Brees’ performance might have been the fact that he put up huge numbers without one of his favorite targets on the field. With out against Arizona, the Saints turned to . Although some NFL teams have a thunder and lightning tandem at running back, Murray managed to fill both of those roles on Sunday. When the Saints needed him to be a bruiser, he did it, and when they needed him to be more of a pa s-catcher, he did that too. Murray totaled 155 yards and two touchdowns against the Cardinals with 102 of that coming on the ground and 55 yards coming through the air.As Blank Jersey for Brees, he did make one mistake — a third quarter interception to — but mistakes are kind of expected when you have a quarterback returning from a six-week break.Brees will now be getting another break, except this one is planned. The Saints have a Week 9 bye, which means they’ll likely be at full strength when they return in Week 10 to play the . With the Saints getting healthy and Brees having already worked off the rust, the road to the NFC title could end up going through New Orleans. New Orleans 31-9 over ArizonaB- The final score is the final score, but the Cardinals did not play like a team that lost by 22 points. In fact, they trailed by just four points as late as halfway through the third quarter. Does that excuse them from putting up only three field goals, completely abandoning the running game Corey Seager Jersey and e sentially letting the Saints do everything they wanted to do in the red zone late in the game? No. But deserved more than nine points. If not for an uncharacteristic early mistake on an end-zone ball, the Cards may have led at halftime, and they can take pride knowing they’ve got one heck of an athlete under center for the future.A+ This game was a perfect example of why the Saints are a legitimate Super Bowl contender. In a game where they surrendered a number of chunk plays, turned the ball over and came up short on several early red-zone trips, the Saints still dropped 31 and had their way with Arizona all over the field — and that was with Drew Brees playing in his first action since Week 2 and Alvin Kamara still sidelined. Their depth is incredible, their offense is balanced, and their defense comes up with plays when it needs to. Saints fans should be thrilled.L.A. 24-10 over Cincinnati (in London)B might want to think about requesting to have all the Rams games moved to London after the way he played on Sunday. Kupp ran circles around the secondary in a game where he finished with seven catches for 220 yards. The receiver’s biggest play came in the first half when he caught a 65-yard TD on a trick play. Kupp’s receiving total was the second biggest of the year for any player in the NFL. Although the Rams almost looked like they were just going through the motions at times against an overmatched Bengals team, they did come up with a few big plays. The Bengals were no match for a Rams defensive front that racked up five sacks, with 1.5 of those coming from both Ogbonnia Okoronkwo and .C It took eight weeks, but it looks like the Bengals have finally figured out the secret to get their running game going: Hyun-Jin Ryu Jersey play in a different country. Going into Sunday, the Bengals were dead last in the NFL in rushing with an average just 53.1 yards per game, but against the Rams they almost doubled that total, finishing with 104 yards on the ground. The Bengals’ ability to control the ball kept them in the game, but they never really came close to pulling off the upset due to the fact that they were dealing with too many other i sues. For one, they couldn’t protect , who was sacked five times. Also, they couldn’t stop Cooper Kupp, who went off for 220 yards.Seattle 27-20 over AtlantaB Even though Seattle was going up against one of the worst pa s defenses in football, it’s almost like the ‘ plan for this game was to just run out the clock so they could leave Atlanta. The Seahawks ran early and often against the Falcons in a game where they ended up running the ball 33 times in 53 plays. For the most part, the game plan worked thanks to , who rushed for 90 yards on 20 carries. The Seahawks offense was also perfect in the red zone with three touchdowns on three trips. A big reason for that was , who threw two touchdown pa ses to D.K. Metcalf from inside Atlanta’s 4-yard line. The Seahawks defense is still a mild concern. The Falcons put up 512 yards of total offense, which is the most Seattle has given up in a regular season game since November 2015.C- Dan Quinn was already on the hot seat before this game even started, and if you’re wondering how hot things are now, just imagine a seat that’s in an oven, which is in a furnace, which is in a volcano that’s being shot to the sun. Although this game ended up being close, the Falcons got off to a disastrous start with two turnovers and two mi sed field goals from in a first half where they fell behind 24-0. One mild surprise for the Falcons was , who started in place of an injured and proceeded to throw for 460 yards, which was the third-highest total of any quarterback in the NFL this year. Falcons owner Arthur Blank has insisted Mark Lowe Jersey that Quinn won’t be fired midseason, but with the way the Falcons have been playing, it might be smart to finally make a move.L.A. 17-16 over ChicagoB After a season of brutal lo ses, the Char
