Week 4 is complete, and we’re a quarter of the way there. Already?
From the believe it or not department: the Giants who won 24 – 3, are tied for second place with the Eagles in the NFC East and they are now just one game out of first place in the division with the Cowboys suffering their first loss in New Orleans against the Breesless Saints Sunday night. You can thank (I can’t believe I’m saying this), the defense. The Charger’s Philip Rivers threw for 310 yards and two scores to help Los Angeles win in Miami for the first time in 38 years, 30-10. Hey Miami kept it within 20. Baker Mayfield passed for 342 yards and a touchdown and an interception in Cleveland's 40-25 victory at Baltimore. Odell Beckham, trash talked, who threw a punch and then was held in a choke hold, had 2 catches for 20 yards. I wonder how many more games like yesterday, will it take him to claim he’s being disrespected because they aren’t targeting him enough. Christian McCaffrey keeps doing it…he had 93 yards rushing and a touchdown and led Carolina with 86 yards receiving on 10 receptions in a 16-10 win at Houston. The Giants may not be contenders just yet, but they are alive and kicking, and carrying with them some momentum, considering they picked up their 2nd victory two months earlier than they had in each of the last two seasons (Nov. 12, 2018 at 49ers; Nov. 19, 2017 vs. Chiefs). 2 and 2 feels pretty good, right about now. Jets and 49ers had the weekend off. Is it me, or doesn’t it seem kinda early to have a bye in week 4? Tennessee Titans 24, Atlanta Falcons 10. What happened to the Falcons? Starting quarterback Jameis Winston finally had a big day, he was 28-for-41 for 385 passing yards, four touchdowns and an interception. The 55 points scored by the Buccaneers were the most scored in franchise history. Daniel Jones handed off the ball a lot to Wayne Gallman who finished with 118 total yards and two touchdowns (one receiving). Danny Duke was 23 of 31 for 225 yards with 2 interceptions. The winless Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers went at it last night. No contest, 27 – 3 Steelers. Glad that Vontaze Burfict got a season long suspension. Tenth time he has been been suspended, 6 for illegal dirty hits. Asshole should never be allowed to play in the NFL again!

As I expected , and commented a couple of weeks ago , the young Giant's Defense will improve as the season goes on , but sad about losing promising middle linebacker Ryan Connelly to a torn ACL . Happy to have a shot at the overrated Vikings this Sunday at Met Life !!
