NFL Week 8 One Up, One Down For All 32 Teams | PFF

One up: CB Adoree’ Jackson Key grade: 89.9 coverage grade

Jackson forced one incompletion and made three defensive stops in the passing game. He allowed seven catches on 10 targets for 65 yards with a touchdown and only one other first down.

One down: QB Daniel Jones Key grade: 44.4 passing grade

Jones earned a team-low 38.3 offensive grade while going 17-of-31 for 176 yards with no big-time throws and two turnover-worthy plays in the loss to the Seahawks. He also couldn’t make any magic with his legs, carrying the ball six times for just 20 yards.

“During the national anthem is when I kind of teared up,” Gates said. “I was standing there next to Mike Baum, my trainer, who was there when this happened and he was with me the whole way. I tried to make it a special moment with him and after that I was good.”

FMIA Week 8: A Look at All 32 Teams Midway(ish) Through 2022 | ProFootballTalk

12. N.Y. Giants (6-2). Craziest team in this crazy season. Maybe we should just accept that smart coaches—Brian Daboll, of course, and underrated Mike Kafka and Wink Martindale—can put players in position to win late in games. They’ve done it for much of the season so far.

Peter King has Brian Daboll as coach of the year and writes “Last time the Giants were better than competent was 10 years and eight months ago, when they waltzed into Indianapolis and beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl. Daboll might be the modern-day Parcells. He and his coaches have schemed a team with C talent to play at a B-plus level for two months, even including the 14-point loss at Seattle Sunday.”

“I’m not expecting him to learn the whole offense in a day,” the Chiefs coach said Monday in his first comments since the team traded with the New York Giants for Toney. “I think it will be a gradual process going forward, even though he is a smart kid, so I’m sure he’ll pick it up relatively fast.
