Sounds like some really good games today - only able to watch a few.
How about those Commanders not missing a beat with Marcus Mariota in relief of Daniels: 207 yds passing, 1 TD (118 Rtg), 40 yds rushing, 1 TD - hanging 41 pts on the Raiders! The only mistake he made was he gave up a fumble when the ball was stripped during a long run he broke. Mariota, a traditional dual-threat, looked comfortable & in command of the offense (Kingsbury didn't have to change the scheme for him). The Commanders play the Falcons next & I wonder if they'll rest Daniels another game since Mariota played so well (they play the Chargers after that & certainly would want Daniels at full strength for that big game).
Most entertaining Bronco game. For the second straight week they lose in a walk-off FG situation. Hard fought game on both sides. Herbert beat them with his arm (he made an incredible game tying throw to Allen where he threw a bullet off-platform rolling out on his weak side with a heavy pass rush in his face). Najee Harris looks to done with an Achilles tear but they didn't miss a beat with Omarion Hampton who shredded that "great Bronco D" with his rushing & receiving ability. Lol. Harbaugh is looking like a genius taking him in the 1st rd (he may be better than Jeanty).
Though it's very early in the year, and so much can change in the 2nd half of any season, the Chargers are looking very good. They ripped through the division beating the Chiefs, Raiders & Broncos first time around playing with a level of confidence I haven't seen with previous Charger teams. And Herbert is playing like a "Tier 1" QB. But it's way too early to say they'll win the division & have a deep playoff run - lots of football left - and as we all know injuries can hit these top QBs with vengeance.
Unbelievable throw:
