Hey, did you hear? Sunday was National Tight Ends Day.
(Yes, you heard.)
For a completely made-up event, tight ends across the NFL certain stepped as much as have fun. Kyle Pitts scored a pair of touchdowns to assist the Falcons down the Buccaneers, the Lions’ trouncing of the Titans featured two tight finish scores, Travis Kelce lastly seemed like his outdated self to assist the Chiefs keep good in a win over the Raiders, and George Kittle supplied the cherry on prime together with his efficiency towards Dallas on the Sunday Night stage. Kittle caught six passes for 128 yards and a landing to assist get the 49ers again on monitor with a vital 30-24 win over the Cowboys to get again to .500 on the season.
Whenever Dallas and San Francisco meet on the gridiron, discuss of this storied rivalry resurfaces — tales of playoff showdowns and Super Bowl dominance of many years previous. But with each golf equipment stumbling by way of the primary half of the 2024 season and coping with quite a lot of accidents, Sunday night time’s assembly felt extra like a measuring stick for every workforce’s future than a chance to reminisce concerning the previous.
Both the Cowboys and 49ers entered Sunday with simply three wins on the season and loads of query marks. The energy of the 2023 Cowboys — defence, and loads of it — has been a significant weak spot of the 2024 squad, whereas the 49ers’ deep arsenal of weapons we noticed on the sphere final 12 months has been banged up early and sometimes this season. Both groups have been pressured to make things better on the fly, to various ranges of success.
The 49ers’ offence, which remains to be with out star working again Christian McCaffrey and staring down a season with out Brandon Aiyuk, took one other hit Sunday when backup RB Jordan Mason left the sport with what’s being referred to as a shoulder harm. In typical 49ers next-man-up style, backup-to-the-backup Isaac Guerendo stepped up with 14 carries for 85 yards and a landing.
So, what comes subsequent for either side? The 49ers enter a 4-4 gridlock within the NFC West sandwiched between the Cardinals and Seahawks with matching data whereas the Rams (3-4) are only one win shy of becoming a member of them. That division may not be the very best in soccer, however it is probably the most attention-grabbing. A well-timed Week 9 bye ought to permit them slightly time to get wholesome.
As for the Cowboys, the uphill climb is steep. They now sit three wins behind the Commanders (6-2) and two behind the Eagles (5-2). They play each squads within the subsequent 4 weeks.
TUA’S BACK, BUT IS IT TOO LATE FOR DOLPHINS?
All eyes had been on Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa earlier Sunday as he made his return to motion for the primary time since struggling a concussion in Week 2. And whereas there have been a number of victories available by the Dolphins on this one — a profitable game-opening scoring drive, a season-high level whole, a textbook QB slide that had followers on their toes and chanting their QB’s title, and, above all, a wholesome Tagovailoa from begin to end.
But it didn’t add as much as a vital Week 8 win over the Arizona Cardinals, due to a late drive by Kyler Murray to arrange kicker Chad Ryland for a walk-off discipline aim to take the 28-27 W.
While the Cardinals now sit at .500 atop what’s a surprisingly winnable NFC West following the Seahawks’ late-window loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Dolphins stay in troubled waters. Their 2-4 file heading into their Week 7 bye was at all times going to be a significant hurdle within the hunt for a wild card berth. A 2-5 file nearing mid-season is an entire lot more durable. A loss to the 6-2 Bills subsequent week would possibly simply sprint all hope of a run.
Now, about that AFC East…
JETS’ SEASON GETS MESSIER WITH LOSS TO PATRIOTS
Both the New York Jets and the New England Patriots entered Week 8 using the sort of streak no one desires to maintain. The 1-6 Patriots hadn’t gained since their season-opening stunner over the Bengals, stringing all six of their losses into one unhappy chain leading to their very own coach calling them comfortable after loss No. 6, whereas the Jets entered Sunday having misplaced all 4 of their video games since their final assembly with New England, their season getting messier by the minute.
Just once we thought issues couldn’t worsen for the Jets, Gang Green went and misplaced to a one-win divisional rival whose success this 12 months isn’t actually measured on the scoreboard.
Just just like the Jets’ season, New York’s 25-22 loss was a collection of self-inflicted wounds. Kicker Greg Zuerlein missed an additional level on the Jets’ first landing, and later missed a discipline aim in what was finally a three-point loss. New York’s defence allowed a struggling offence, which averaged simply 3.9 yards per play and misplaced rookie starter Drake Maye mid-game, to maintain tempo — and finally take over within the last minutes.
The Jets’ 2-6 file now matches that of the Patriots. Firing Robert Saleh wasn’t the reply. Neither was bringing in Davante Adams. A season that began with Super Bowl expectations now appears like the start of one other rebuild — similar to their Sunday opponent.

CHIEFS STAY PERFECT. HOW FAR CAN THEY GO?
The Kansas City Chiefs haven’t discovered themselves on the dropping aspect of a soccer recreation since Christmas Day of final 12 months.
The workforce that delivered that loss? The Las Vegas Raiders, who hosted the league’s final remaining undefeated workforce on Sunday hoping to stump their division rival once more. The Raiders couldn’t repeat that Christmas success, although, falling quick in each main offensive class and failing to cease Patrick Mahomes & Co. — a unit that now contains DeAndre Hopkins, whose Chiefs debut noticed him catch two passes for 29 yards.
The win inside the win for Kansas City is the person atop the Chiefs’ receiving leaderboard within the 27-20 victory: tight finish Travis Kelce, who after a comparatively quiet first six video games led the workforce in catches (10) and yards (90) and scored his first landing of the season.
There’s nonetheless greater than half a season to go, however we’re on the level the place we are able to begin to surprise… how lengthy, precisely, can this Chiefs win streak go? The 7-0 squad faces the Tampa Bay Buccaneers subsequent Monday, adopted by one other divisional conflict towards Denver in Week 10. Circle Week 11 on the schedule, which sees Mahomes tackle Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in what needs to be a traditional.
BROWNS STUN RAVENS. NOW WHAT?
Following seven weeks of déjà vu on offence for the Cleveland Browns, Week 8 introduced a change of tempo. With Watson formally out for the season with a torn Achilles, the beginning job now belongs to Jameis Winston — and the backup made good on his first begin since September 2022. After seven weeks of sub-20 level tallies and only one win all season with Watson on the helm, the Browns’ offence got here to life Sunday towards Baltimore — for at some point, anyway.
Cleveland shocked the Ravens 29-24, Winston & Co. stealing the victory with a last-minute toss to receiver Cedric Tillman. Winston accomplished 27 of 41 passes for 334 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions to stun Baltimore and do Pittsburgh a stable within the course of — the Steelers, who face the New York Giants Monday night time, can now take a one-game lead atop the division with a victory.

Winston’s first begin feels slightly bit acquainted, too. When Watson went down final 12 months, the membership referred to as Joe Flacco, who guided the roster into the post-season. And everyone knows the Winston expertise sometimes ends on the bench, due to his big-risk fashion of play.
Now 2-6, the Browns are nonetheless within the basement of the AFC North. They’ve already bought their prime broad receiver, Amari Cooper, to the Buffalo Bills, and are nearer to going again to a rebuild this 12 months than they’re to reviving their contender standing. Watson wasn’t the long-term reply, and Winston possible isn’t, both, but when he can reap the benefits of this opportunity to begin he may not less than make issues attention-grabbing.
DANIELS SAVES HIS BEST PLAY FOR LAST
It was a showdown that just about didn’t occur. When Jayden Daniels left final Sunday’s matchup towards the Panthers with a rib harm, it seemed just like the Week 8 contest between the primary and second general picks of the category of 2024 could be in jeopardy.
Even with Daniels cleared to begin towards fellow rookie Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears, this recreation wasn’t wanting just like the showdown we’d all been hoping for. Both rookies have blossomed this season, however Sunday’s recreation was a sluggish burn of discipline objectives.
That is, till the final play, when Daniels took a three-point deficit with zeros on the clock and turned it into one of many wildest Hail Mary walk-off wins we’ve ever seen. Daniels dipped and dodged Bears defenders for nearly 13 seconds earlier than unleashing a bomb into the top zone, which was tipped into the palms of Noah Brown for the game-winning rating by Bears defender Tyrique Stevenson. Stevenson’s misplay was even worse when a fan’s video revealed he was busy taunting Commanders followers through the play earlier than becoming a member of the fray.
Stevenson posted an announcement post-game on social media, promising to study from the scenario.
