The Ravens lost 3 straight, but lost only 4 points in goal difference
Green Bay Packer 31: 30 Baltimore Crow
After the road win over the Ravens, the Packers have locked up a playoff spot, and the remaining 3 games they will still fight for the No. 1 seed seat in the National League, and the Ravens finally gave up the top spot in the North after three consecutive losses to the Tigers, they have only lost four points in these three games combined, and their playoff spot in the first few weeks is now in jeopardy.
Lamar Jackson injured his ankle in the last game against Brown and did not play in this game, but his substitute Huntley performed well, scoring 215 yards and 2 passing touchdowns in 40 passes and 2 touchdowns at the same time rushing 73 yards and 2 rushing touchdowns, Mark Andrews took up the team's offense, he took 136 yards and 2 touchdowns in 10 catches, but unfortunately the two-point conversion in the final moments still failed to catch, and the Ravens just lost to the Steelers in exactly the same way two weeks ago. One wonders about Hubble's choice.
Against the Ravens' injured defensive team, Aaron Rodgers played very well, scoring 268 yards and 3 touchdowns on 23 of 31 passes, while leading the team with 58 yards of rushing yards. The Ravens' tactic today is to let Rogers appear as little as possible, all four shorts they chose to play hard, which also led to the opening of the attack to advance to the end zone did not get points, the Packers led 31-17 with 9 minutes left in the game, and then rely on Huntley's two punches to touch the two teams with only one point left, perhaps because the defensive second line is really no one, Hubble still chose to gamble this time, choosing two additional points when the game was 40 seconds left, but unfortunately luck this time still did not stand on the side of the Crows, As the packers got to their knees to finish the game, the Ravens had to swallow three straight losses.
Detroit Lions 30: 12 Arizona Cardinals
This week's Lions host the Cardinals, and the seemingly suspenseful outcome of the game is jaw-dropping. The Cardinals' record changed from first in the league to tied for first place after losing to their opponents in the same zone last week, while the Lions had just won one game before this game, finishing at the bottom of the league with a record of 1 win, 11 losses and 1 draw. Even without outside receiver Hopkins, fans didn't expect the Cardinals to lose the game.
The Lions got into shape after the opening, scoring three free-kicks with a nearly nine-minute, 63-yard offensive run. In the second quarter, quarterback Gough felt hot, and completed the touchdown with rookie outside the stadium to take over St. Brown and runback Renos respectively. In contrast, the Cardinals attacked, and the first three attacks after the kick-off only got a total of 17 yards, all of which ended with a waiver. Although advancing in front of midfield to push the ball into the front three yards of the Lions' zone, Murray's strong pass in fourth gear failed to complete. The Cardinals didn't score at halftime and the Lions led 17-0.
The Cardinals took the lead in the second half, scoring three points with a free-kick. The two sides then exchanged gifts, the Lions appeared to drop the ball and the Cardinals grabbed the ball, but Murray's pass was intercepted by cornerback Ouluvarier and returned to the front six yards of the Cardinals. The ball returned to the Lions attacking group and Goff seized the opportunity to complete the touchdown with all-defender Cabinda. The score extended to 24-3 after this touchdown, and the Cardinals seemed to have lost their fighting spirit. With 4:40 remaining in the game, Murray finally passed a touchdown, a face-saving goal that did not change the outcome of the game, and the Lions won 30:12.
If the Cardinals win the game, they will lock up playoff spots early and end a six-year no-playoff. While they still have hope of making the playoffs early after this week, teams that want to go further in the playoffs will clearly need to change the state of the game. As team leader, Murray didn't play well in this game, passing only 257 yards and 1 touchdown at garbage time, sending a scribble and only 72.9 ratings. In a post-match interview, he said, "They [the lions] are more hungry to win than we are, more tenacious than we are. We weren't prepared, and the results speak for themselves. The Cardinals started the season with a 7-game win but lost four of their next seven games, hopefully they can adjust their form as soon as possible for the games that follow.
Pittsburgh Steelers 19: 13 Tennessee Titans
Two defensively-savvy teams in the American League met this week, with the Tennessee Titans coming to Pittsburgh to challenge the Steelers. The game is important for both teams, with the Steelers fighting for playoff spots and the Titans trying to reach number one in the American League to secure a bye for Wild Card Week.
Shortly after the start of the game, the Titans relied on quarterback Ryan Tannhill's "1 yard arch" to give the Titans a head start. After the Titans extended the score with another free-kick, the Steelers' defensive group stepped up. At the beginning of the second quarter, he shot the ball with Titans mid-ranger Anthony Fuxer to regain the ball. After each team completed a free-kick shot, the Titans took a 13-3 lead into the second half.
Entering the second half, the slow-heating steelers also officially entered the rhythm. First quarterback "Big Ben" Ben Rossberg also used a one-yard arch to chase the score closer, and then cornerback Joe Hayden flew to pick up the Titans' offensive player's dropped ball, giving the Steelers a great chance to come back, and the Steelers equalized with a free-kick shot. But the Steelers' brilliant performance isn't over yet. After a defensive lineman, Taco Charlton dialed Tannish hill's pass, teammate Joe Schubert rushed to complete the interception, and then star passer TJ Watt picked up Tanny Hill's dropped ball. The Steelers also relied on these two forced turnovers to complete two more free-kick shots on goal, changing the score to 19-13. With the Titans' final wave of counter-attacks limited to 4th gear, the game ended.
The Steelers, who won the game, remain competitive for playoff spots. The losing Titans, on the other hand, trailed the Chiefs one win in the American League record rankings. What's even more frightening is that the ponies behind them are also attacking the position of the Champions of the American League South Zone.
