I keep thinking about the season opener when Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens failed — by a toe and a two-point conversion — to beat Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
All I want is a rematch.
Lamar is, no doubt, the best football player in the world this season. He’s a human highlight reel. He has been prolific as a rusher and passer. He’s an MVP front-runner. Patrick Mahomes is somehow the most influential football player. You have to squint to find the highlights. He’s not exactly impressing with his counting stats. But he’s doing exactly the right things for the Chiefs to stay undefeated. And if you disagree with that label for Mahomes, let’s revisit Week 1 when he and the Chiefs eked out a victory over Baltimore.
All I want is a rematch. Because the Ravens are better. And the Chiefs might be worse? So, yeah, I’m annoyed that we might have to wait until late January.
For the QB Stock Market, we weigh the most recent performances with 30% importance, while 70% is applied to the rest of 2024. One question holds importance above all others: What have you done for your team lately?
Previous weeks: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
1. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens (↔)
2. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills (⬆️ 4)
Josh Allen must love having Amari Cooper, who has instantly changed the Bills offense.
Don’t just look at the numbers that Cooper put up (four catches, 66 yards and a touchdown). Look at the numbers Keon Coleman (four catches, 125 yards) and Khalil Shakir (seven catches, 65 yards) put up. Cooper was a breath of fresh air for the offense, particularly in the second half when things began to fall into place for Josh Allen, who actually started 1 of 5. But of course, Allen finished 22 of 33 for 323 yards and two touchdowns. And he did it against one of the three best pass defenses, allowing just 166.7 passing yards per game.
His interception total? Still 0. Zero!!! For the guy…
