The era of Jameis Winston in Tampa is coming to an end?

Steve Sarkisian: The offensive coordinator of the Falcons struggled with his call to play in the red zone and drew criticism. In Atlanta's win against the Panthers (31-24), Sarkisian however reversed the trend and scored four touchdowns in each of the team's four trips in their twenties. Sarkisian opened his game book and made some plays that exploited the mismatches and playmakers (catcher Calvin Ridley on an 11-meter incline and Austin Hooper on eight-yard distance). off-road) open in the space.

Nathaniel Hackett: The Jacksonville Jaguars learned from last year's loss to the Patriots in the AFC championship game, as they lost a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter. Instead, in the 31-20 loss to New England, Jacksonville's offensive coordinator remained aggressive throughout the match and did not leave a window to the Pats. A perfect example was a second 16 year old. yard line – taking that 11-point lead – with only 3:28 to play in the game. Hackett called a passing game and quarterback Blake Bortles found tight winger Niles Paul on the right touchline for a first 22-meter run. Despite not having running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring), Hackett told Bortles (377 yards, four touchdowns and one interception) to distribute the ball to fast Jags players.

Any team that plays the bills: Is it bad for Buffalo? Well, cornerback Vontae Davis entered the locker room at halftime, put on street clothes, left the stadium and retired from football. All that was missing was the second half of a 31-20 loss to the Chargers. Rookie quarterback Josh Allen had some great shots (a 3-yard touchdown to Kelvin Benjamin in a tight window and a 57-yard throw at Zay Jones) on his first career start, but he still has plenty of learn. And with mediocre distribution, it could be a very long season for the Bills, who look like one of the worst football teams.

Jameis Winston: Not only is it time to write the obituary about the chances of Winston (suspended) to regain control of the starter position, but it may be time to also consider the potential of his end in Tampa. Ryan Fitzpatrick took control of the offensive for 819 yards, eight touchdowns and one interception in two games. The Bucs opted for Winston's fifth-year option for 2019, for $ 20.9 million, but it is only guaranteed for injury. So, Tampa Bay can cut Winston at the end of this season and does not owe him a dime. Most importantly, the Bucs defeated the Saints (11-5 last season) and the Eagles (13-3), reigning Super Bowl champions, in the first two weeks for exclusive possession of the first in the South. the NFC.

Offensive line of the giants: Really, the losers are probably quarterback Eli Manning and running back Saquon Barkley. Center Joe Halapio left New York's 20-13 loss on a trolley with his right leg in an air throw. He may suffer a serious injury. Even before his departure, the offensive line of the Giants showed that it remained a weak point. The Cowboys pressured Manning, forcing six sacks for 59 yards. Worse still, New York could not open fast lanes to give Barkley room and sell eight tackles for loss. In the case of difficult divisions, poor pass protection and an ineffective blocking of the race could be a blow to the Giants.

NFL Kickers: It was a brutal Sunday for the placekickers, especially those of the Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings. In a 21-18 loss to the Saints, Browns kicker Zane Gonzalez missed two more points and two goals in the field. Every miss came in the second half. And one of the missed PAT's and two goals lost came in the fourth quarter, including a 52-yard run with eight seconds that could have equalized. Meanwhile, Daniel Carlson, the Vikings rookie, missed three goals, including two in overtime, the last being a 35-yarder who would have won the game. On Sunday, the NFL kickers missed nine goals and six more points.

Houston Texans: They lost 20-17 against the Titans. The problem? Houston was facing a Tennessee team that was missing quarterback Marcus Mariota, and the two went on the offensive in Taylor Lewan and Jack Conklin, leaving Blaine Gabbert leading the Titans. Quarterback Deshaun Watson tried to get Houston into the game at the end of the game. Watson hit the ball near the midfield with 17 seconds remaining in the game. He bounced around the pocket, crossed the line of scrimmage and completed a pass in the middle of the field allowing time to flow from the clock. And now, Houston is the only South AFC team without a win at 0-2.
