What a Week 7 in the NFL! Jared Goff looked like he was about to post another perfect game, Lamar Jackson was exactly 0.2 points off a perfect passer rating, and Jayden Daniels hung 40 points on the Panthers. Wait, I'm sorry. I'm told that was Marcus Mariota?
Every Tuesday, I'll spin the previous week of NFL football forward, looking at what the biggest storylines mean and what comes next. We'll take a first look at the consequences of "Monday Night Football," break down a major trend or two, and highlight some key individual players and plays. There will be film. There will be stats (a whole section of them). And there will be fun. Let's jump in.
