Week 8 in the NFL was weird, ugly and beautiful. Weird because a Denver Broncos defense that gave up 70 points to the Miami Dolphins was able to keep Patrick Mahomes out of the end zone entirely. Beautiful because A.J. Brown exists in our world. Ugly because man, in his hubris, decided to put two teams in northern New Jersey and claim them for the city of New York.
There was a lot to process in a mid-season week without any byes. The top two picks in last spring’s draft faced off in a game with two combined touchdowns. Will Levis made his debut and doubled that total on his lonesome. And the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, both easy Super Bowl picks five weeks into the season, each lost in convincing fashion.
So what were the best things to come out of Week 8? And what were the worst?
