Cleveland Browns: Bye Week
The Browns have had a rough 2024 season so far, but with Nick Chubb back in the lineup and Jameis Winston leading the offense, the team should be able to perform slightly better than they started the 2024 NFL season. The Browns’ defense also is a good unit and deserves their fair share of credit where credit is due.
Dallas Cowboys: D-
It was a disastrous afternoon for the Cowboys at home, as they fell flat 6-34 against their longtime NFC East rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles. Dak Prescott’s season ended, and he will have surgery to repair his partially torn hamstring. Cooper Rush threw no touchdowns or interceptions but was sacked once and lost two fumbles.

Rico Dowdle had 53 rushing yards, Jake Ferguson had 24 receiving yards, and CeeDee Lamb had 21 receiving yards. On defense, the Cowboys had five sacks, a fumble recovery, and an interception by Trevon Diggs.
With this loss in the books, the Cowboys may regret not making more moves in free agency in the 2024 offseason.

The Cowboys stay home and welcome their AFC counterparts, the Houston Texans, in week 11 on Monday Night Football.

Detroit Lions: C
The Lions played a decent battle against the Houston Texans and won in the final seconds of the game 26-23, thanks to kicker Jake Bates’ heroics, kicking the game-winning field goal with only seconds left. Jared Goff threw two touchdowns but threw a whopping five interceptions, Jahmyr Gibbs had 71 rushing yards, David Montgomery scored a rushing touchdown, and Sam LaPorta and Amon-Ra St. Brown both scored receiving touchdowns.

Joe Flacco threw two touchdowns against three interceptions and lost a fumble, Jonathan Taylor rushed for 114 yards, and Josh Downs and Tyler Goodson both scored touchdowns. On defense, the Colts had two sacks and two interceptions. The Colts played fair, but their efforts weren’t enough to slow down the Bills’ rushing attack or their defense. The Colts travel east for a showdown against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.
Jacksonville Jaguars: D
The Jaguars’ struggles continued, as they were dropped 7-12 against the visiting Minnesota Vikings, who didn’t even score a single touchdown all game.

Travis Etienne Jr. had 44 rushing yards, and Evan Engram had 40 receiving yards. On defense, the Jaguars had a sack and three interceptions against Sam Darnold. A painful loss nonetheless.
