The end of Week 7 brought many shockers. Many teams showed stellar performances, while many hit their lowest points. As the NFL brought many surprises, let’s see how its impact was visible in the games and whose showdown stands in the top 5.
Week 1: Baltimore Ravens Vs Buffalo Bills
Baltimore Ravens At Cincinnati Bengals Afc Wild Card Jan 15 0529
The Week 1 clash between the Ravens and Bills in Highmark Stadium hit differently. The Ravens received 40 points within just 25 minutes of possession. The game was initially in their hands and was Lamar Jackson’s perfect passing game. Plus Henry’s 169-yard move, along with two stunning touchdowns, dominated the matchup. However, the situation twisted when Henry’s late fumble gave Buffalo the lead and rallied from a 15-point deficit in the final four minutes. Moreover, Josh Allen registered 394 passing yards and four touchdowns.
The game ended with the Bills winning 41-40 in a thriller, but both teams’ performances created a palpable moment.
Week 4: Denver Broncos and New York Giants
Sitting at the second spot is the legendary matchup at Empower Field. The Denver Broncos grabbed a 33-32 win in this game. This was unexpected at first, but thanks to Bo Nix, who hit Troy Franklin for a pass and then converted the two-point conversion to make it 19-8 with 14:08 to play, marking it the largest comeback in the 4th quarter. This was really an epic matchup.
Week 2: New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys
The Giants and Cowboys showdown combined for a stunning 41 points during the fourth quarter. The showdown went to overtime and nearly ended with a tie, but at the last second, Brandon Aubrey put the ball in with a 64-yard field goal. Prescott also made an impact against the Giants when, with just 37 seconds left in overtime, he saw that the running lane was open in the middle of the Giants’ defense. He took the moment and went for 14 yards, ultimately helping Aubrey to be in field goal range. Finally, Aubrey seals the game with his 64-yard move at the end.
Week 5: Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks
This showdown witnessed Baker Mayfield’s and Sam Darnold’s incredible performances. But it was the Buccaneers who escaped with a 38-35 win. It was a tough match, but Mayfield completed 29 of his 33 attempts for two touchdowns without turning the ball over even once. No doubt Darnold even played well with 28 of his 34 attempts for 341 yards, but his lone turnover came at a crucial moment and led the Bucs to get a game-winning field goal.
Week 3: Los Angeles Rams Vs Philadelphia Eagles
News Eagles Vs Rams
The Eagles hit the jackpot with 33-26 wins. Although it was not easy. In the early moments, the Rams had the advantage with 26-7. But Jalen Hurts’ 300+ second half changed the momentum. Then things turn spicy. The Eagles blocked two field goals. Jordan Dabis then goes for a touchdown. And then Eagle won with a comeback.
These games continue to be the talk of the NFL fraternity. Look out for more exciting matchups.
