Week 10 NFL Recap: The Chiefs are Back, the Lions Tie, and Cam Returns
Moving Day in the NFL didn't exactly clear things up, but it certainly gave us some of the weirdest football we've seen all year. From a 16-16 tie in the mud to the return of Cam Newton, Week 10 had a little bit of everything. Big Cat and PFT Commenter kicked things off with a classic Fastest 2 Minutes before diving into a Sunday slate that felt like a fever dream.
The Chiefs Finally Arrived
After weeks of wondering what was wrong with Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs decided to remind everyone why they’ve owned the AFC. They didn't just beat the Raiders; they dismantled them. Big Cat is finally ready to stop hedging and admit that the sleeping giant in the West has woken up.
Big CatThe Kansas City Chiefs are officially back
The Kansas City Chiefs are back officially... This was the first time I think this year that we can confidently say against a good team, the Chiefs offense looked like it was back.
PFT Commenter is already looking ahead to the massive showdown with Dallas next week, fully expecting the momentum to carry over.
PFT CommenterThe Chiefs will beat the Cowboys next week
I think that they [Chiefs] win that game. I might fuck around and say the chiefs are back.
Chaos in D.C. and the AFC South Crown
The Washington Football Team pulled off the upset of the day by grinding out a 10-minute drive to kill off Tom Brady and the Bucs. While the win was impressive, PFT Commenter was more struck by how the GOAT looked against a defense that has struggled all year.
PFT CommenterTom Brady finally looks old
The only reason I'm not going to say that the football team is like officially back, back, back, back back is I think Tom Brady looks old. He looked old today. He was mistaking and dunk and he was bad in the first half.
Big Cat was quick to point out that Brady's struggles might be directly linked to his missing favorite target.
Big CatAntonio Brown is the most important player on the Buccaneers
I think officially we have to say it's Antonio Brown... The Bucs are five and O with Antonio Brown and they're one and three without him. He is the difference maker for Tom Brady and how he wants to run an offense and the security blanket and the guy he trusts the most.
Meanwhile, the Tennessee Titans continued their gauntlet run by beating the Saints. Even without Derrick Henry, this team looks like the class of the AFC. PFT Commenter isn't even waiting for the calendar to hit December before handing out some hardware.
PFT CommenterThe Tennessee Titans are officially the AFC South champions
I'm officially anointing the Tennessee Titans AFC South champions this year... We're actually the first to crown them division winners.
The Restoration of the Patriots and the Packers Worry
Hank is officially back in his "arrogant Patriots fan" bag after New England put 45 points on the Browns. Mac Jones looked like a veteran, and the defense was suffocating. Big Cat is looking at the landscape and wondering if anyone in that division can actually challenge them.
Big CatThe Ravens are still the best team in the AFC North
I still feel like the Ravens are the best team in that division. I'm just discounting what happened. I lost the toughest time. It happens on a Thursday night. It's like, okay, that didn't really count.
Speaking of teams that refuse to go away, the Packers blanked the Seahawks in Russell Wilson's "miracle" return. Between the defense and the run game, Big Cat is starting to feel a familiar sense of dread about how the season might end in the NFC.
Big CatI am officially nervous the Packers will win the Super Bowl
I'm officially, officially nervous that the Packers might have enough to actually win a Superbowl this year... Usually I can see something in the Packers where it's like, nah, they're fraudulent in some way... I'm officially worried because they're winning games in different ways.
Ties, Fumbles, and Future Franchises
We have to talk about the Lions and Steelers. A 16-16 tie that featured 16 punts and a Pat Freiermuth fumble to seal the draw. It was the most Detroit Lions way to not lose a game. Elsewhere, the Jets got absolutely clowned by the Bills. Mike White's Linsanity run ended with four picks, leading Big Cat to question his job security.
Big CatMike White may have played himself out of the league with his four-interception performance against the Bills
Mike White... You should've stayed injured, dude... you threw four interceptions and you might've played yourself out of league when you could've just been like a backup forever.
However, Billy Football found the silver lining for Gang Green, suggesting that the team's overall incompetence might actually be a shield for their young quarterback.
Billy FootballZach Wilson might actually be good because the rest of the Jets are the problem
That Zach Wilson actually might be good because Mike White is bad. So maybe it's not just Zach Wilson... The Jets are just like, you know, it might not be a quarterback problem. So we could have a quarterback in the future. They've identified the problem, which is the entire team.
Who's Back and Football Guy
To wrap up, the guys discussed the return of Cam Newton, who celebrated his first touchdown back in Carolina by screaming "I'm back" and picking up a 15-yard penalty. It was vintage Cam. For Who's Back, Big Cat took a shot at the dietary habits of certain listeners after a mix-up with the show's dinner order.
Big CatVegans have nothing to look forward to in life
Vegans gross. Like what do you do? What do you look forward to? Bread? Ice cream? If you're a vegan, tell me what you look forward to? The day you die and you get the sweet release of this hellhole of a life.
We'll see if the Vikings can actually follow through on Big Cat's playoff prediction after their big win in LA, or if they'll go back to being the Vikings next week.
Big CatThe Vikings will make the playoffs
If I had to put my money on it right now I'm going to say it. Vikings will be in the playoffs.
