Falcons QB Matt Ryan has tenth-most passing yards in NFL history

The Falcons defeated the Panthers in Week 11, thanks in part to quarterback Matt Ryan’s 311 passing yards.

The Falcons defeated the Panthers in Week 11, thanks in part to quarterback Matt Ryan’s 311 passing yards. It was a typical day at the office for Ryan, who’s routinely thrown for big numbers during his twelve NFL seasons.

The former MVP QB has now moved into the top ten in terms of career passing yardage, passing Warren Moon on Sunday.

At 34 years old, Ryan could potentially play for another five seasons, which would likely put him into the top five or higher if he keeps up his current level of production.

Ryan has 49,383 passing yards, which puts him just 2,092 yards behind Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway, who is ninth on the list with 51,475 career passing yards.

Statistically, it’s clear that Ryan is one of the most prolific quarterbacks in NFL history, however, he needs to win a Super Bowl to really cement his legacy.

Ryan should have at least a few more cracks at redeeming the Falcons’ 2016 Super Bowl loss to the New England Patriots. However, this season may have already gone to waste with the team starting 3-7.

NFL Power Rankings Week 12: Lions hold steady in the early twenties

The Week 12 national NFL Power Rankings have been released and the Detroit Lions are holding steady in the early twenties in most rankings.

[jwplayer 6Q40ShvH-ThvAeFxT]

The Week 12 national NFL Power Rankings have been released and the Detroit Lions (3-6-1) are holding steady in the early twenties in most rankings.

Let’s take a look at where the Lions stand in the national eye.

USA Today: 28 (Previous: 27)

“Did they find gem in former Alabama RB Bo Scarbrough, who ran for 55 yards in debut? No other Detroit back averages 55 rush yards per game in 2019.” — Nate Davis

Touchdown Wire: 22 (Previous: 23)

“The Lions faced an interesting question in Sunday’s game against the Cowboys. Would they stick with their primary man coverages against a Dallas passing offense that has been highly effective against that kind of tight coverage this season? Only Seattle’s Russell Wilson has a higher passer rating this season against man coverage than Dak Prescott’s 110.5. So in the end, it was fairly predictable that a defense that wants to play man coverage most of the time and isn’t very good at it — Detroit has allowed seven touchdown passes to just one interception in man coverage this season — would find itself at Prescott’s mercy. Dallas’ quarterback completed 29 of 46 passes for 444 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in a 35-27 win. Detroit’s offense couldn’t quite keep up, though backup Jeff Driskel played decently in place of Matthew Stafford, who could miss several weeks with a back injury. What becomes apparent is that Detroit’s desire to align itself with a specific defensive philosophy, and the abilities of their players to execute that philosophy, are at a distinct impasse.” — Doug Farrar

NFL: 25 (Previous: 24)

“Same old story for the Lions, who can score points (with or without Matthew Stafford) but have a defense that’s a total liability. The unit was unable to get any pressure on Dak Prescott, who roasted the Lions for 444 yards and three touchdowns in Dallas’ 35-27 win over Detroit. The Lions’ issues are manifold: They can’t rush the quarterback, they can’t cover in the secondary and they don’t force turnovers. They’re on pace for their worst defensive season, from a total yardage allowed standpoint, worse even than the winless 2008 team. It’s a shame, too, because Jeff Driskel showed us once again that he has some ability. The backup quarterback — starting in place of the injured Stafford for the second straight week — made plays with his arm and legs, and he even had Detroit on Dallas’ side of the field in the final minutes with a chance to tie. The kid gives them a shot … the defense doesn’t.” — Dan Hanzus

ESPN: 21 (Previous: 21)

Most underrated player: Marvin Jones Jr. wide receiver. It might sound weird that a known quantity would be underrated, but Jones has been a consistently strong presence since signing with Detroit in 2016. He is tied for the NFL lead in touchdowns with eight and has had four or more catches in eight games this season. He has been playing under a reasonable contract and people know who he is, but his overall value to the Lions often goes unnoticed because of the presence of Kenny Golladay and the team’s collective struggles.” — Michael Rothstein

CBS Sports: 23 (Previous 23)

“Why would Matt Stafford play again this season? Shut him down. This season is over.” — Pete Prisco

Sports Illustrated: 24 (Previous: 24)

“A full week of prep helped Jeff Driskel (15-of-26, 209 yards, 2 TDs, 109.3 rating), but Detroit couldn’t stay in it late without their trusty starter, especially since Driskel almost lead the way on the ground with eight rushes for 51 yards and a touchdown.” — MMQB staff

Sporting News: 23 (Previous: 22)

“The Lions are showing plenty of offensive fight with Jeff Driskel filling in for Matthew Stafford, but their defense takes turns being destroyed by the run and the pass, much to the chagrin of Matt Patricia after the team’s big offseason investments.” — Vinnie Iyer

Falcons rise up to No. 24 in TD Wire’s Week 12 Power Rankings

The Falcons are one of the most frustrating 3-7 teams in NFL history. After a 1-7 start in which Atlanta was barely competitive, suddenly things are clicking on all cylinders. 

The Falcons are one of the most frustrating 3-7 teams in NFL history. After a 1-7 start in which Atlanta was barely competitive, suddenly things are clicking on all cylinders.

It’s probably too late to make a playoff push, but the Falcons are playing outstanding football over the past two weeks. They held the Saints to nine points, then the Panthers to just three, while recording 11 sacks and four interceptions.

The team’s two-game winning streak bumped them up from No. 28 to No. 24 in Touchdown Wire’s Week 12 Power Rankings. Doug Farrar writes the following about Atlanta’s sudden awakening:

In an unusual twist, Quinn assigned linebackers coach Jeff Ulbrich to call first- and second-down defense, and assistant head coach/defensive backs coach Raheem Morris to call third-down defense. It’s worked like a charm. Over their past two games, the Falcons haven’t allowed a touchdown, they’ve picked off four passes, added 11 sacks to their team total, and they’re 2-0 with road wins against the Saints and Panthers. Atlanta’s 29-3 win over Carolina on Sunday won’t likely be enough to get Quinn’s team to the postseason, but it may save his job — and if this sticks, rightfully so. Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen was an easier out for this defense than Drew Brees was the previous week, but this defense looked dominant against both quarterbacks. Jameis Winston, who just threw four picks and took two sacks in a loss to New Orleans, had better watch out next Sunday.

Apparently, some NFC South competition is all the Falcons needed to get back on track.

This Sunday, they play the third of five straight division games when they take on the struggling 3-7 Buccaneers from Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

6 waiver wire pickups in fantasy football for Week 12

Fantasy football waiver wire targets for Week 12.

Last week in the NFL we saw more injuries pile up, more players come out of nowhere and even more surprising matchups across the board in fantasy football. By now, guys have either proven themselves to be reliable or their inconsistency has landed them on the bench or dropped altogether.

As trade deadlines come and go, the waiver wire continues to be a vital part of a playoff run in fantasy football.

With four teams on a bye (Cardinals, Chiefs, Chargers, Vikings), here are six waiver wire pickups for Week 12.

(AP Photo/AJ Mast)

RB Jonathan Williams: <1% rostered (ESPN)

With Jordan Wilkins still out (ankle) and Marlon Mack suffering a broken hand in Indy’s 33-13 win against Jacksonville on Sunday, the Colts needed someone to step up big in the run game. Williams fit the bill.

He finished the day with 13 carries for 116 yards and also added a huge reception for 31 yards. With a short week before the Colts travel to Houston to face the Texans, the Colts do not have much time to get healthy. Williams and fellow back Nyheim Hines will carry the workload in the backfield for the time being.

Falcons coach Dan Quinn comments on Chris Lindstrom’s injury status

Falcons rookie guard Chris Lindstrom broke his foot in the team’s Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Ten weeks later, he’s still on the injured reserve list.

Falcons rookie guard Chris Lindstrom broke his foot in the team’s Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Ten weeks later, he’s still on the injured reserve list.

Head coach Dan Quinn gave an update on Lindstrom’s status Monday, per team reporter William McFadden:

Quinn would also comment on tight end Austin Hooper and running back Devonta Freeman, saying they are both likely to miss Wednesday’s practice at the very least:

Hooper was initially reported to be out about a month with an MCL sprain, but Quinn disputed this claim. Freeman, meanwhile, has an injured foot that kept him sidelined on Sunday.

We shall see how much time these two offensive starters wind up missing. The Falcons managed just fine without them during their Week 11 win over the Panthers due to another dominant defensive performance.

Seahawks have history of success after bye weeks

The Seattle Seahawks have a successful history in games following bye weeks under quarterback Russell Wilson and coach Pete Carroll.

[jwplayer 6Q40ShvH-ThvAeFxT]

The Seattle Seahawks are in the middle of their bye week, which is the part of the year that all teams look forward to. With their 8-2 record, the Seahawks have certainly earned a breather.

Coming out of the bye, the Seahawks will be playing the Eagles in a battle of the birds. By this time of the season, it is clear Seattle is one of the better teams in the NFL, but what kind of effect could the week off have?

History says not a lot.

Since Pete Carroll took over as head coach in 2010, the Seahawks are 6-3 coming off a bye week, and two of those losses came in 2011 and 2012. That means that Russell Wilson-led teams are 5-2 following the week off from competition.

The last time the Seahawks lost after a bye week was in 2015 when a Week-9 bye led into a 39-32 loss to the Cardinals. The last time the Seahawks’ bye week was during Week 11 it resulted in a 24-21 loss to the Dolphins.

Since 2010, the Seahawks have outscored their opponents 204 to 158 in games after bye weeks.

The Seahawks have never faced the Eagles after a bye week, but they have beaten them recently. The last time the pair squared off in the regular season, Seattle came out with a 24-10 win.

As a unit, the Seahawks have had success recently following bye weeks, and Wilson is a big part of that.

In those games, he’s thrown for a 67.9 completion percentage with 14 touchdowns and only one interception. The lone pick came at the hands of Tyrann Mathieu in 2015.

Wilson and the Seahawks just stuck the 49ers with their first loss in Week 10, and now they get their rest. History says Carroll and Wilson are successful after the breaks, which could be bad news for the Eagles in Week 12.

Week 12 Roundup
The Really Big Thing | Most Overrated Thing
Most Underrated Thing | What It All Means

5. Winners & Losers From Week 12

Winner: QB Trevor Lawrence, Clemson

Remember way, way back to the old days of mid-October when Trevor Lawrence was supposedly freelancing, making too many big mistakes, and throwing eight interceptions in his first seven games?

Remember when he was overrated, not worthy of being considered a slam-dunk No. 1 overall NFL prospect, and was regressing in his sophomore year?

Good times.

Yeah … in his last four games he hit close to 80% of his passes and averaged over 12 yards per throw with 13 touchdowns and no interceptions. If that wasn’t enough, he also ran for 130 yards with two touchdowns as Clemson hung up 52 points or more on the board in each of those four games.

Loser: Arizona’s passing game

In recent years, a mediocre day from the Arizona passing attack usually happened because the ground game was going off. The Wildcats only threw for 68 yards against Oregon State back in 2017, but that’s because they ran for 534.

Against Oregon on Saturday, Arizona’s Khalil Tate and Grant Gunnell combined to throw for a season-low 132 yards with no touchdown passes. Worse yet, the 4.4 yards per pass were the fewest by any Arizona team since a 51-13 loss to the Ducks back in 2014.

Winner: RB Najee Harris, Alabama

Alabama’s passing game carried the team, but now with Tua Tagovailoa done for the year, it’ll be up to Harris and the ground game to start doing a whole lot more. Harris has rushed for eight touchdowns in the last four games and caught touchdown passes in each of the last two. He wasn’t needed much in blowouts over Arkansas and Mississippi State – running for 86 and 88 yards, respectively – but he took off for over 100 yards in the other three of the previous five games.

Loser: Georgia Tech’s running game  

Going back to early in the 2009 season in a loss to Miami, Georgia Tech failed to run for 100 yards just three times in a span of 134 games.

It has failed to run for 100 yards twice in the last three weeks.

The program went on a run of 40 straight games going back to 2016 with 100 yards rushing or more. That streak snapped a few weeks ago when Pitt allowed just 86 yards in a 20-10 win. On Saturday, Virginia Tech beat the Yellow Jackets 45-0, allowing just 53 yards on 31 carries.

It was the first time Georgia Tech was held to under 75 yards since Clemson gave up just 71 in the middle of the 2015 season.

Winner: The quarterbacks in the LSU 58-37 win over Ole Miss

Defense, schmefense. In LSU’s wild and crazy win over Ole Miss, Joe Burrow further cemented his Heisman credentials by completing 32-of-42 passes for 489 yards and five scores, and he ran for 26 yards.

Ole Miss freshman QB John Rhys Plumlee came up with 212 yards and four touchdowns … rushing. He also threw for 123 yards with a pick, and Matt Corral threw for 89 yards and a touchdown.

In all, the quarterbacks in the game accounted for 945 yards of total offense.

Loser: Northwestern’s quarterback play

The good news: Northwestern finally won a game again. It rocked a miserable UMass team – with the nation’s worst defense, by far – 45-6.

The bad news: the passing game completed 7-of-13 passes for 76 yards and two picks. Two weeks earlier, the Minutemen gave up 488 passing yards and five touchdowns to Liberty.

Winner: Kent State’s fourth quarter vs. Buffalo

0-60. That’s what Kent State was in its previous 60 games when down by 21 points or more. It was down 27-6 to a Buffalo team looking for its sixth win, bow eligibility, and a big step forward in the MAC East race.

Instead, in the final eight minutes of the game, Kent State scored a touchdown, recovered the onside kick, scored on a 41-yard pass play for a score, blocked a punt, tied the game on a fourth down touchdown pass, and won on the last play of regulation with a 44-yard Matthew Trickett field goal.

Loser: Baylor in the second half vs. Oklahoma

Everything was going so well. Baylor was up 31-10 at halftime, the party was just getting started, and then … Oklahoma score 24 in the second half – 31 unanswered overall – and Baylor suffered a brutal collapse. It couldn’t move the chains at all after halftime – Oklahoma ended up controlling the clock for over 41 minutes.

Winner: Rice

Rice had one win over an FBS program in its previous 31 games going back to September 9th of 2017. It won last year’s season finale against Ole Dominion, and it was competitive through most of the first part of the season despite the 0-9 start, and then … Rice 31, Middle Tennessee 28. The Owls failed to score in the second half, and it got WAY too tight, but it was the program’s first win of the season.

Loser: Duke

Didn’t you used to be Duke? The Blue Devils started the season 4-2 with acceptable losses to Alabama and Pitt, and since then they’ve not only lost four straight, but the offense has gone bye-bye.

They scored 30 or more in five straight games, and 44 total in the last four losses in blowout after blowout. A once sure-thing bowl season is now destined to be a loser, bottoming out in a 49-6 home loss to a Syracuse team that hadn’t won an ACC game.

What’s Going To Happen

Do you like the all-run, no-pass team, or the reverse?

VMI and QB Reece Udinski wing it all over the yard for close to 300 yards per game. It’s not leading to any wins considering the defense can’t stop anyone, but the Keydets managed to beat the option-running Citadel team that beat Georgia Tech.

The run defense, though is about to get hammered for close to 400 yards.

VMI isn’t into the whole time of possession thing, and that’s where the Army offense steps in. It’ll hold the ball for close to 40 minutes on long march after long march for its second win in a row.

Because the Knights are dealing with a second FCS team – they beat Morgan State earlier in the year – they’ll still have to win at Hawaii and beat Navy to get bowl eligible.

Going to Hawaii will have to serve as the bowl appearance.

It’s the final home game of the year for the Knights, and despite giving up close to 300 passing yards – it’ll be an empty-the-bench fourth quarter.
