PFT's Week 8 2024 NFL Results and Overview

Week 8 has come and gone, with no byes and 14 Sunday games.

Here's a rundown of each game player for the fourth and final Sunday in October. Also known as National Tight Ends Day.

Eagles 37, Bengals 17

The Eagles ran their winning streak to three, as their offense continued to find its identity. Even if the identity is built on a week-to-week basis, based on what's working.

Lately everything has been working.

In Sunday's 37-point outburst, quarterback Jalen Hurts became the first player in league history to score multiple rushing touchdowns and score 100 or more in back-to-back games.

Two people came and pushed. Talking to him on the phone after the win, I said the patented game is back. “It didn't go anywhere,” Harts insisted.

For the Bengals, quarterback Joe Barro finished his 60th game with 112 touchdown passes. He is the fourth-most in a player's first 60 games, trailing only Dan Marino (145), Patrick Mahomes (144) and Justin Herbert (114).

A more troubling number is four. The Bengals are 0-4 at home this year.

Browns 29, Ravens 24

The Jameis Winston era began in a big, big way. He threw for 334 yards; Deshaun Watson never had a 300-yard day while in Cleveland.

Winston's authentic brand of enthusiasm lifted the entire team. Even if it's not enough to turn 2-6 into a playoff berth (and it likely will be), it will make Browns games something they still are this season — fun.

For the Ravens, the fun ended temporarily on a five-game winning streak. Still, Derrick Henry became the first player in league history to score a touchdown in each of his first eight games with a team.

Lions 52, Titans 14

Yes, it was the Titans. But the results are impressive regardless of the opponent, a sign of a juggernaut. And they seem to be getting better.

Receiver Califf Raymond, who had 190 return yards and two total scores, told PFT by phone after the game that the improvement is due in part to receiver Ammon-Ra St. Brown's obsession with practicing at a high level.

They are playing at a higher level than they have in years. Detroit is 6-1 for the first time since 1956.

And they quarterback Jared Goff threw just 15 passes, completing 12 for 85 yards and three touchdowns.

Texans 23, Colts 20

Houston held on to complete the sweep of the Colts and take control of the AFC South.

Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson completed 10 of 32 passes for 175 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Running back Jonathan Taylor rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown in his return from an ankle injury.

Texans receiver Stefon Diggs is gone after suffering a non-contact knee injury. Coach DiMeco Ryans had no update after the game. However, it didn't look good.

Packers 30, Jaguars 27

For the second week in a row, Packers kicker Brandon McManus won the game with a walk-off field goal. It came at the end of a drive led by quarterback Malik Willis, who replaced Jordan Love in the second half.

Love is hurt in the groin. An MRI is coming up on Monday. Hopefully it's a week-to-week injury that he can recover from next weekend.

The Jaguars lost receiver Christian Kirk for the season with a broken collarbone. He was the subject of trade talks before the injury.

Cardinals 28, Dolphins 27

Tua Tagovailoa's comeback wasn't supposed to go this way. Because Keiler Murray didn't get the memo; He led the Cardinals back from a nine-point fourth quarter deficit, largely through his throwing. A key play on third down extended the winning drive.

At 4-4, the Cardinals now have a three-way tie atop the NFC West.

The Dolphins dropped to 2-5. They will travel to Buffalo next weekend.

Patriots 25, Jets 22

Woody wanted it. Woody got it. The firing of the coach of a 2-3 team six days before Monday night's home game extended a two-game losing streak to five. And while they're not done yet, there's going to be a visit from the Texans for Halloween night

Trick or treat. the smell of my feet Give Rex a goddamn snack to eat.

The Patriots lost quarterback Drake Maye to a concussion. They still got a good response from what coach Jerrod Mayo called “soft”. While the playoffs remain a long shot, putting another nail in the Jets' coffin has to be the next best thing.

Falcons 31, Buccaneers 26

Kirk Cousins ​​had four touchdown passes and a passer rating of 145.9. He has eight touchdown passes in two games against Tampa Bay this season.

The Bucs, without their two top receivers, struggled to get the offense going without Mike Evans or Chris Godwin. They did, but ultimately not enough. And now they're 4-4, and trail Atlanta by two games in the race for the NFC South crown.

Chargers 26, Saints 8

LA won 4-3 against the overmatched Saints, who are still without starting quarterback Derek Carr. New Orleans collected two field goals on offense in their second game against an AFC West team that never seemed close.

Rookie Ladd McConkie had eight catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns for the Chargers, who found the end zone three times after settling for five field goals in Monday night's loss.

Meanwhile, Saints defensive lineman Nathan Shepherd should be suspended for his WWE/Bountigate-style attempt to hit Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. If the NFL is serious about player health and safety, he will be.

Bills 31, Seahawks 10

Buffalo continues its dominance in the AFC East. At 6-2 and with the Dolphins 2-5 and the Patriots and Jets 2-6, it would take an epic collapse for the Bills to blow away the division crown.

Amari Cooper had just one catch for three yards in his second game with the Bills, but Khalil Shakir had 107 yards and rookie Keon Coleman added 70 and a touchdown. James Cook rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns.

Seattle running back Kenneth Walker III was held to 12 yards on nine carries, and the passing game felt the absence of DK Metcalf, who has a knee injury.

Broncos 28, Panthers 14

Denver is headed for its first playoff berth since winning Super Bowl 50, feasting on a buffet line of one of the worst teams in the NFC South. Panthers cornerback Jesse Horn seemed exceptional from Broncos coach Sean Payton leading up to the score. Payton rubbed salt into the wound after the game and made it clear—Carolina's offense is not good.

Bo set the franchise rookie record for wins by a quarterback with five, surpassing Nix, John Elway and Drew Lock, who had four.

Chiefs 27, Raiders 20

Kansas City has now won 13 games in a row, dating back to a New Year's Eve win over the Bengals. And the Chiefs are 6-0 at Allegiant Stadium, with five wins over the Raiders and one in Super Bowl LVIII.

With 81, quarterback Patrick Mahomes is third on the quarterback wins list for the first eight years of his career. He needs five to catch Tom Brady and Russell Wilson, who are tied at 86.

Commander 18, Bear 15

Jayden Daniels threw a Hail Mary for the ages with a rib injury and the Bears' late go-ahead score, buying time for about 13 seconds before launching the game-winner, which was tipped and caught by Bears defensive back Tyreek Stevenson. Commander receiver Noah Brown.

Stevenson was seen taunting Commander fans before – and during – the play.

The loss dropped the Bears to the basement of the NFC North at 4-3. And that put the pressure on Bears coach Matt Eberflus, who had his team unprepared for the unfortunate Hail Mary.

49ers 30, Cowboys 24

Dallas took an early 10-point lead, the 49ers outplayed them and then the Cowboys tried to make it interesting.

Rookie running back Isaac Guerredo had 85 rushing yards and his first career touchdown while filling in for Jordan Mason, who suffered a shoulder injury.

George Kittle had six catches for 128 yards and a touchdown, putting a bow on his final day as a national tight end.

Dallas had 146 receiving yards and two touchdowns for Lamb. But Dallas continued to lack punch in the running game, gaining 56 yards. San Francisco scored 223 runs.

Next up for the Cowboys, a trip to Atlanta — and a Mike Zimmer-Kirk Cousins ​​reunion. We like that.
