DeMeco Ryansās team came up with another huge road win last week when they knocked off the Bengals at the gun. Could the Texans avoid a letdown when they hosted the struggling Cardinals? Houston had their hands full with the last-place team in the NFC West. In the end, Ryansās club found a way to hold on for the teamās sixth win.
Rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud had another big outing. He overcame three sacks, throwing for 336 yards and two scores. There was a red flag of sorts with three interceptions, one more than he had thrown entering the game.
Mike McDanielās club had two weeks to ponder that tough 21-14 loss to the Chiefs in Garmany. The Dolphins hosted the Raiders on Sunday. The teamās recent issues with turnovers nearly proved costly on Sunday, but Miamiās top veteran addition showed why heās considered by some to be the premier player at his position.
Raidersā quarterback Aidan OāConnell threw for 271 yards and one score, but he was picked off three times. Two of those thefts by Dolphinsā cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Heās made an impact since finally taking the field in 2023.
A year ago, the 49ers humbled the Buccaneers, 35-7 and that was with Tom Brady playing quarterback for Tampa Bay. Would that be the case again as the Niners welcomed Baker Mayfield and company to Leviās Stadium? The 49ers came away with a double-digit win, but the defense has to get some late stops to hold off a Bucsā rally.
Kyle Shanahanās offense rolled up 420 yards, while Brock Purdy shook off four sacks and threw for 333 yards and three TDs. The 49ers appear to be back on track after a three-game slump and are again alone atop the NFC West.
