This week: 29 million people watch the Chiefs drop their chance to beat the Eagles, the Broncos win their fourth game in a row, Brandon Staley gets mad, and the Steelers decide to blame Canada for their offensive woes.
Week 10: From Sugar to…
The second German game sees the Colts and Patriots play uninspiring football with Indy narrowly winning, the 49ers are back following a Jags demolition, whilst the Texans and Broncos get surprise victories.
Week 9: In Deutsch Bitte
Die NFL ist in Deutschland! The Chiefs beat the Dolphins in a classic game of two halves, Daniel Jones suffers a gruesome injury that puts his future in doubt, and Seattle’s offence manages to be bad in new and exciting ways.

This week in the NFL: the 49ers continue to plummet by losing to a resurgent Bengals, the Chiefs manage to lose to the Broncos, and Josh McDaniels is the first sacking of the season.

Week 7 of the season saw lots of games that didn’t go as expected: the Buffalo Bills lost to the Patriots, the 49ers lost to the Vikings, the Lions were demolished by the Ravens, and Tyson Bagent becomes a national star.
Week 6: The Moody Blues
Week 6 was probably the worst week of the season so far. The 49ers and Eagles lost in upsets, the Giants had a controversial call cost them against the Bills, and the final London game made me miss Darren Fletcher.
Week 5: That’s a Stat Line Boys
Week 5 saw the 49ers dominate the Cowboys, the Jaguars get a very impressive win over the Buffalo Bills, continued questions around Bill Belichick, and the Steelers and Ravens play perfect Sickos Committee football.

Week 2 of the NFL season saw comebacks by the Giants, Commanders, and Falcons, the rise of Puka Nacua, the fall of Justin Fields, and literally no Rams fans.
Week 1: No Asterisk
The NFL season kicks off with a emphatic Lions win (no asterisk attached), a back-to-strength Brock Purdy, a fantastic Tua performance, and devastating news for the Jets.

The Christmas weekend of NFL football was kinder to some teams than it was to others, but it sets up a great finish to the season as we approach 2022.
Power Rankings – Week 15, 2021
Week 15 was as wildly unpredictable as many of the other weeks this season, and it was one that saw an old favourite top the rankings for the first time in 358 days.
Urban Meyer was a Disaster
Urban Meyer’s stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars was a disaster for all involved, and it makes Meyer the worst head coach the NFL has ever seen.

The champs are back to the top spot after Week 14’s games, whilst the Chiefs are back in the top 5 and the Jags suffer at the bottom.
The Steelers and Discipline
The standard is the standard for the Steelers, but does the Vikings game show that the bar is too low when it comes to team discipline?

We’re now halfway through the NFL season, one team has established themselves in first, one team still hasn’t won and one team’s Josh Allen dominated another team’s.
Power Rankings – Week 8, 2021
Week 8 of the NFL season was a treat to the likes of the Rams, Packers and Bills, but horrifying for the Detroit Lions.
Power Rankings – Week 7, 2021
Week 7 wasn’t the best week of NFL football we’ve ever had, but the Cardinals continued to impress and the Lions did way better than an 0-7 record would suggest.
Power Rankings – Week 6, 2021
Week 6 of the 2021 NFL season sees a side fight through a lot of adversity to retake their place at the top of the Power Rankings, whilst an unsurprising side go last for the first time.
