First, the 49ers got a HUGE road win at Seattle. DJ takes a look at Mike Evans' dominant showing while also discussing Gracen Halton's impact on the San Francisco D-line, as the rookie made arguably the play of the game in the win. Plus, the Patriots and Packers offenses lit up the Raiders and Bears, with both offering their best performances of the season after some lackluster efforts earlier in the year. The Ravens got a big win on Sunday Night Football thanks to some Tyler Huntley heroics, and DJ took a look at a Baltimore edge rusher that probably isn't getting talked about enough. The Lions offense flexed its muscle on the road in Arizona and the defense played surprisingly well. Does that say more about Detroit or the Cardinals? The Vikings remain perfect and the offense looked better this week! DJ breaks down how Kevin O'Connell is learning how to use Kyler Murray before getting into the great tape from David Bailey, Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles as the three Top 10 picks continue to deliver on a weekly basis. Finally, some notes on the Bengals offense and Jordan Battle's 2 interception performance and Will Anderson Jr.'s continued dominance as he strengthens his DPOY case.
