Let’s make a pact... no more Saturday coverage
It was a quiet Sunday given the Sept. 11 observances that were happening. Here’s some spare football weekend content.
- Aaron re-watched the tape of Mizzou’s loss and posted some thoughts on Twitter.
After re-watching #Mizzou’s game, I have a couple takeaways:

1. The offensive line wasn’t very good yesterday, but they desperately miss DPJ and even Niko Hea in the run game. They weren’t flashy, but they were quality run blockers.
- Dave Matter tallied the Pro Football Focus grades and snap counts after Saturday’s disastrous loss.
- The Post Dispatch’s Ben Frederickson agreed with Eli Drinkwitz’s diagnosis after the loss: That the head coach is mostly to blame.

- In which Sam presents the case that the 2022 season will not be decided on the Kansas State outcome... even if it was clearly a failed test

It was a battle of former Mizzou defensive stars as Markus Golden’s Arizona Cardinals were routed by Nick Bolton and the Kansas City Chiefs. Golden, fresh off a contract extension, only logged one tackle and two QB hits, while Bolton led the Chiefs with 10 tackles, including one for a loss.
In “The Battle of Baker Mayfield,” Jordan Elliott registered one tackle as the Cleveland Browns edged the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte.
Charles Harris seems to have found a landing spot in Detroit, where the Lions lost their opening week game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Harris had 7 tackles, including one for a loss.
Akayleb Evans walked away from Minnesota’s week one win over Green Bay with exactly one tackle. Nice work, rookie!
Heads up: Albert Okwuegbunam and his new QB will face... well, his old QB twice over when the Denver Broncos head to Seattle to face the Seahawks (and maybe Drew Lock, if he can get off the bench?)
