NFL | More than a defeat for the Steelers?

The Pittsburgh Steelers lose the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. And maybe their quarterback Kenny Pickett too.

A smashing debut

Will Levis of the Tennessee Titans had quite the baptism of fire in the NFL with four touchdown passes against the Atlanta Falcons. Levis saw 19 of his 29 pass attempts caught for a total of 238 yards. He was able to count on the great complicity of DeAndre Hopkins, who caught three of the four paying passes from his quarterback. Their performance allowed the Titans to win their first victory (28-23) in three games. The University of Kentucky alum became only the third quarterback in history to throw four touchdown passes in his first game. The other two are Fran Tarkenton and Marcus Mariota, who also began his career with the Tennessee team. Levis’ production already surpasses that of Ryan Tannehill. The latter threw two touchdown passes and six interceptions in six games, before injuring his ankle.

Season over?

In the category of bad news for the Minnesota Vikings, there is the possible loss of Kirk Cousins ​​for the rest of the season. The quarterback reportedly suffered an Achilles tendon injury. His head coach Kevin O’Connell said it was the conclusion of an initial diagnosis, after the Vikings’ 24-10 victory against the Green Bay Packers. Cousins ​​fell in combat without being hit by the opponent. He returned to the bench without putting any weight on his right leg, reminiscent of the injury suffered by Aaron Rodgers at the start of the season. Cousins ​​will undergo magnetic resonance imaging this Monday to determine the severity of his injury. This situation could not come at a worse time for the main interested party, who is completing the last year of his contract. Since the start of his career, he has never missed a start due to injury.

The Dallas Cowboys dominated the Los Angeles Rams 43-20, recording their fifth victory in seven games. Cornerback DaRon Bland threw his fourth interception of the season, the third he returned for a touchdown. He brought the ball back a distance of 30 yards towards the end of the first half, for his team’s second major. Bland is second in the league after Geno Stone of the Baltimore Ravens with four steals. And he’s just one interception returned for a touchdown away from tying the NFL single-season record. On the offensive side, Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb shined in the victory. Prescott finished the game with four touchdown passes and 304 passing yards. Lamb was targeted 14 times by his quarterback and caught 12 balls for 158 yards and two majors.

They are back

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals defeated the San Francisco 49ers and are back in the playoff race with a 4-3 record. Kevin Stefanski’s squad recorded its third victory in a row thanks to a surgical performance from its quarterback. Burrow completed 28 passes on 32 attempts for 238 yards and three touchdowns. The Bengals’ defensive unit also stood out with three turnovers against Brock Purdy: two interceptions and a fumble. The second layup opened the door for Ja’Marr Chase’s touchdown on the next play, early in the fourth quarter, and Cincinnati didn’t look back. Chase finished his day with 100 yards through the air. A great collective performance, after enjoying a week off. Stefanski’s men will host the Buffalo Bills next Sunday.
