But Purdy already proved the doubters wrong after keeping the 49ers afloat amid injuries in the first half of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_sb0cxn0za\">Perhaps Purdy should have an Instagram post with a few jabs in the form of hashtags aimed at the critics. He can always go with #toomuchhelp with a shrugging man emoji and a cool picture of him chest bumping George Kittle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_nzto0fx08\">But no one will top the hashtags new Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike Williams\u00a0had to shade the New York Jets and Aaron Rodgers. Williams and a picture of his game-winning touchdown catch in his Steelers debut against the Washington Commanders. A few weeks back, Rodgers called out Williams for not running along the \u201cred line\u201d on a route during a Week 6 loss to the Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_0p1ga6f0v\">Purdy and Williams were two of our winners in Week 10 of the NFL season.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"_oo0muamro\" class=\"tagStyle_1mz4afy-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_oo0muamro\">WINNERS<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"tagStyle_12j16kw-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_31f8w94vs\">Brock Purdy and his bank account<\/h3>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_z9g2u3wvc\">Purdy once again bailed out the 49ers when he delivered one of the better quarterback performances of the season, guiding his team to a come-from-behind 23\u201320 victory against the Buccaneers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_5dctzpniz\">The team was probably already going to pay him many millions of dollars in the offseason when several star players were in and out of the lineup due to injuries in the first two months of the season. The 49ers (5\u20134) know Purdy can make it work with a short-handed roster, but they again received confirmation that he\u2019s capable of playing like an MVP candidate with a strong supporting cast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_n5espq830\">The third-year signal-caller had precise timing with Jauan Jennings on third downs to keep the team within striking distance of the Buccaneers, who refused to go away and held a four-point lead in the fourth quarter. When it was time for clutch plays, Purdy unleashed a high-arching 30-yard pass to Christian McCaffrey before throwing an 11-yard dart in the corner of the end zone for a Kittle touchdown that gave San Francisco a 20\u201317 lead with 7:14 left. After Baker Mayfield gave the Buccaneers new life to tie the game, Purdy responded with a six-play, game-winning drive in the final 41 seconds to set up Jake Moody\u2019s 44-yard field goal as time expired.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_p4hxrnr8a\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">Purdy is well on his way to becoming the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL. And for those who find it hard to believe that the last pick in the 2022 NFL draft can make more than $60 million per season, just take a look at the quarterbacks who got paid in the offseason. Purdy has done more in his young career than Jared Goff, Trevor Lawrence, Tua Tagovailoa and Jordan Love. And even more than Dak Prescott, the current highest-paid QB in the league. Prescott has had loaded rosters and hasn\u2019t advanced to an NFC championship game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_on9naff7f\">Purdy went toe-to-toe with Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl and produced come-from-behind postseason victories against the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions to get there. Purdy followed that memorable postseason run by carrying his depleted team in the first eight weeks. He\u2019s earned a massive contract extension, and he can maximize his earnings by helping his team end its 30-year drought without a Lombardi Trophy.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"tagStyle_12j16kw-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_dykix4cu1\">Steelers WR Mike Williams<\/h3>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_uvjd6ns2c\">Mike Williams seems to love playing with quarterbacks who don\u2019t take themselves so seriously. Sometimes it\u2019s O.K. to play backyard football, because nabbing go-balls is what Williams does best. He showed that with Chargers quarterbacks Philip Rivers and Justin Herbert.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_7a28deb44\">For seven years, Williams constantly kept the Chargers in games because of his acrobatic plays on downfield throws. He\u2019s a 50\/50 ball specialist who can deliver clutch performances, but Rodgers and the Jets saw no use for him. Rodgers could have utilized Williams\u2019s sizable catch radius when the Jets were shut out from the end zone and held to 207 yards in Sunday\u2019s ugly 31\u20136 loss against the Arizona Cardinals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_4z3oyhotk\">Hours earlier, Williams caught the game-winning 32-yard touchdown pass in his Steelers debut because his new quarterback Russell Wilson gave him a shot to make a play when it mattered most. Turns out, Williams can still play, even after the Jets threw him under the bus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_ocrmqse3e\">Rodgers called out Williams for not running routes the way he wanted him to. Instead of playing freely to save their season, Rodgers stubbornly wanted to recreate Packers East by helping execute a trade for Davante Adams and surrounded himself with wideouts who adjusted to him. And why not keep Williams to be the third wide receiver to Adams and Garrett Wilson? But Williams probably doesn&#8217;t care to know the answer to that question now that he\u2019s playing for a first-place team that actually knows how to use his skill set.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"tagStyle_12j16kw-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_l7nfo3nni\">Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi<\/h3>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_m4r967mns\">New Orleans Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi should have gotten more attention Sunday for the intense facial expressions he delivered on the sideline during an upset victory against the Atlanta Falcons to snap the Saints\u2019 seven-game losing streak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_u1zwykbyp\">But then the coaches\u2019 bathroom toilet before the game. (Sorry, I just laughed out loud because sometimes I\u2019m immature.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_ziliwj8fk\">I thought talking about clogging the toilet was limited to telling only your significant other, or your friends in the group chat\u2014not in front of TV cameras for everyone to hear. But we can all relate. Not much is scarier than seeing the toilet water rise in a bathroom that isn\u2019t at your home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_k7qn36xed\">But I\u2019ll stop talking about clogged bathrooms. You gotta admire Rizzi for being himself and enjoying the crap out of this victory. (I couldn\u2019t help myself.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_lgra59qj6\">Oftentimes, interim coaches get put in the worst situations\u2014on and off the field\u2014only to be forgotten when it\u2019s time to fill the permanent positions for head-coaching vacancies. Credit to Rizzi for making the most of his opportunity. And it\u2019s obvious his players appreciate his authenticity and passion by the way they played for him in his coaching debut last week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_592peyv56\">There might not be much winning over the next two months in New Orleans, but at least the Saints know they are in good hands to ride out the bumps of the lost season that no longer has to be miserable.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"tagStyle_12j16kw-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_7e0ljuok2\">Chargers\u2019 cupcake schedule<\/h3>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_fed7txf1o\">Many haven\u2019t been quick to praise the Los Angeles Chargers because of their \u201csoft schedule,\u201d but all you can do is play the teams in front of you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_3mxnfwgb3\">I\u2019m sure many teams would love to play the Las Vegas Raiders, Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, Saints and Tennessee Titans in the first nine games of the season. The Chargers did beat one winning team to build a 6\u20133 record, but that was against the Denver Broncos, a team many view as playoff pretenders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_pbldupmei\">The Chargers should get credit for at least taking care of business and not playing down to the level of their competition. They lost by one score against the Kansas City Chiefs and Arizona Cardinals. The only game they weren\u2019t truly competitive in was a 10-point loss against the Steelers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_9vydajufc\">We\u2019ll learn soon enough if the cupcake-filled Chargers have been consuming empty calories when they face the Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons and Chiefs in the next month.<\/p>\n<div data-mm-id=\"_kt33u4r9h\">\n<div class=\"style_120ff32\">\n<figure class=\"base_1ruub6q\" data-id=\"_kt33u4r9h\" data-mm-type=\"image\"><picture class=\"_1olj64kn\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_5881,h_3308,x_1417,y_0\/c_fill,w_360,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FImagnImages%2Fmmsport%2Fsi%2F01jcf8hamedna32g6gn1.jpg 1x, https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_5881,h_3308,x_1417,y_0\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FImagnImages%2Fmmsport%2Fsi%2F01jcf8hamedna32g6gn1.jpg 2x, https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_5881,h_3308,x_1417,y_0\/c_fill,w_1080,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FImagnImages%2Fmmsport%2Fsi%2F01jcf8hamedna32g6gn1.jpg 3x\" media=\"(max-width: 719px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_5881,h_3308,x_1417,y_0\/c_fill,w_620,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FImagnImages%2Fmmsport%2Fsi%2F01jcf8hamedna32g6gn1.jpg 1x, https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_5881,h_3308,x_1417,y_0\/c_fill,w_1240,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FImagnImages%2Fmmsport%2Fsi%2F01jcf8hamedna32g6gn1.jpg 2x, https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_5881,h_3308,x_1417,y_0\/c_fill,w_1240,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FImagnImages%2Fmmsport%2Fsi%2F01jcf8hamedna32g6gn1.jpg 3x\" media=\"(max-width: 1079px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_5881,h_3308,x_1417,y_0\/c_fill,w_620,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FImagnImages%2Fmmsport%2Fsi%2F01jcf8hamedna32g6gn1.jpg 1x, https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_5881,h_3308,x_1417,y_0\/c_fill,w_1240,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FImagnImages%2Fmmsport%2Fsi%2F01jcf8hamedna32g6gn1.jpg 2x, https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_5881,h_3308,x_1417,y_0\/c_fill,w_1240,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images%2FImagnImages%2Fmmsport%2Fsi%2F01jcf8hamedna32g6gn1.jpg 3x\" media=\"(min-width: 1080px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_1olj64kn\" title=\"Colts QB Joe Flacco\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_5881,h_3308,x_1417,y_0\/c_fill,w_620,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/si\/01jcf8hamedna32g6gn1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-uw-rm-alt=\"SRC\" \/><\/picture><\/figure>\n<div class=\"wrapper_brpv6a\">Flacco fell to 1\u20133 as a starter this season with the Colts\u2019 loss to the Bills. \/ Grace Hollars\/IndyStar \/ USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"_vuga8u8cs\" class=\"tagStyle_1mz4afy-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_vuga8u8cs\">LOSERS<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"tagStyle_12j16kw-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_vlta35gsy\">Lethargic Colts<\/h3>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_t2nj2z72c\">The Buffalo Bills tried their best to be in a competitive game with the handful of mistakes they made against the Indianapolis Colts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_gnmvdf3n5\">But instead of this being one of the many games that came down to the wire in Week 10, the Colts said no thanks and didn\u2019t capitalize on the Bills\u2019 miscues, including two interceptions from Josh Allen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_vlox2dn21\">Colts cornerback Kenny Moore II 20 unanswered points after trailing 13\u201310 midway through the second quarter. Moore questioned his teammates\u2019 effort and went as far as saying the Colts have made not working as hard as possible a yearly trend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_kgdsebu5p\">Moore might need to clarify his words to teammates, but maybe he won\u2019t have to because the Colts really have played in many sloppy games this season. Benching Anthony Richardson and turning to Joe Flacco hasn\u2019t sparked the team. It\u2019s clear Flacco won\u2019t be having a Cleveland-like run in Indianapolis after throwing three killer interceptions against the Bills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_2psl0wt4h\">It wouldn\u2019t , who might have learned from his mistakes watching from the sideline the past two games. That won\u2019t happen this week, though, after coach Shane Steichen against the Jets. The Houston Texans should be happy for the Colts\u2019 lethargic mistakes because they still lead the AFC South by two games despite a two-game losing streak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_rqwcrvqar\">Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle certainly appreciated the Colts\u2019 flat performance because he described the raucous crowd during the Pacers\u2019 win on Sunday against the New York Knicks as<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"tagStyle_12j16kw-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_oszqe4u0c\">Texans\u2019 uninspiring offense<\/h3>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_uosefrrpx\">Many are highlighting the Detroit Lions\u2019 grit for why they executed a 16-point rally in the second half against the Texans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_zof3e2hux\">Sure, some grit was required for the Lions to score 19 unanswered points, but this was more about the Texans giving the game away thanks to their poor offense. Houston\u2019s defense picked off Jared Goff five times and it still wasn\u2019t enough for the offense to put away Detroit after establishing a 23\u20137 halftime lead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_s9fw0cz40\">C.J. Stroud has had a rough second season and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik hasn\u2019t done him any favors with uninspiring play calls. The Texans leaned on running back Joe Mixon to build a 6\u20132 record despite the lackluster passing attack this season. But even that didn\u2019t work against the Lions, with Mixon recording 46 of the team\u2019s 56 rushing yards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_lkpho59z7\">Mixon knew that settling for three field goals in the first half was eventually going to doom them in the end. That\u2019s why the veteran running back tossed a tablet in the second quarter. Not many are paying attention to the Texans\u2019 offensive struggles because they\u2019ll likely win the AFC South, especially with upcoming games against the Dallas Cowboys, Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars.p<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_ds5paep81\">But this team will likely get exposed come the postseason if they don\u2019t improve their passing attack in the next two months. And don\u2019t expect Nico Collins\u2019s return to fix all the problems because his presence won\u2019t improve the offensive line. Stroud was sacked four times against the Lions to bring the sacks allowed total to 35, third worst in the league.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"tagStyle_12j16kw-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_1mt25cc38\">Drama-filled Cowboys<\/h3>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_6ftiieanu\">I probably should go back and count the amount of times the Cowboys have been listed in this weekly column as \u201closers\u201d this season. But that requires more effort than the Cowboys gave against the Philadelphia Eagles last week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_50p7jey92\">The Cowboys lost their starting quarterback (Prescott) for possibly the rest of the season and were shut out of the end zone against a divisional rival at home. But all everyone wants to talk about in Dallas is who to blame for the that caused CeeDee Lamb to drop a touchdown. I guess reality TV-like drama is better than facing the realities of a lost season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_yc61xr886\">With a 3\u20136 record, maybe it\u2019s time to ignore them for this column. The Carolina Panthers probably should be listed under \u201closers\u201d most weeks, but we expect them to lose on a weekly basis. (Well, maybe not anymore thanks to their two-game winning streak.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_q3qdx4yc1\">The Panthers and Cowboys have the same amount of wins this season. Perhaps if we forget about the Cowboys and don\u2019t give them the spotlight, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will become serious about fixing the absent rushing attack, sluggish defense and aging offensive line.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"tagStyle_12j16kw-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_zvgrwtyuq\">Bears QB Caleb Williams<\/h3>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_z1kwu6dkw\">Coach Matt Eberflus has gotten the bulk of the blame for the Chicago Bears\u2019 against the Commanders. But Caleb Williams shouldn\u2019t get a pass for eight consecutive quarters without a touchdown just because the coaching has been a problem on both sides.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_59x33kcpy\">Williams has enough talent on the field to at least generate a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots. Both have feisty defenses, but these weren\u2019t the defenses of the Chiefs or the Steelers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_ixv2ariuz\">Many raved about Williams in the lead up to the draft for his ability to extend plays and make something out of nothing, but that has rarely happened in his rookie season. Williams will probably turn it around in the coming weeks, but he\u2019s too talented to be shut out from the end zone for eight consecutive quarters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Username or Email Address<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":7503,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7502","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
