Key Headlines:
Rodgers and the Packers pull off the major upset against the undefeated Cardinals
Rodgers was without his favorite wide-receiver targets as they headed into the match against the strong cardinals, but the Packers pulled off the victory. The defense also came clutch, with Rasul Douglas getting a game winning interception in the end zone in the final minute of play.
Mike White shocks the nation in breakout performance
With rookie quarterback Zach Wilson injured, the Jets turned to backup quarterback Mike White. I don’t think anybody expected this rather unknown player to throw for 405 yards and 3 touchdowns, beating the Bengals by 3. He went 37-45, the new record for most completions in a players first career start. After the game, Mike White sent his jersey to Canton, to be put into the NFL Hall Of Fame
Cooper Kupp continues to have a monster season
In a dominant win for the Rams, Cooper Kupp once again had 100+ yards, with a touchdown as well. If Kupp continues to play at the rate he has, hes on pace for a 1964 yard season, which is key for the Super Bowl hopefuls, as the rams are now 7-1.
