Losers
Drew Lock, quarterback, New York Giants
Lock was not the one downside for the Giants on Sunday, neither is the quarterback the one downside on this workforce, however you possibly can’t have two pick-sixes in the identical sport. The Giants are positioned for the No. 1 overall pick. A quarterback appears probably.
Dorian Thompson-Robinson, quarterback, Cleveland Browns
With Deshaun Watson and Jameis Winston benched, this was alternative for Thompson-Robinson to point out the Browns teaching employees that he may very well be a solution. He didn’t try this. He accomplished simply 20-of-34 passes for less than 157 yards and two interceptions, with one among them coming ultimately zone.
DeVonta Smith, broad receiver, Philadelphia Eagles
This may be overly harsh when the Eagles protection allowed 36 factors and couldn’t get a cease late within the fourth quarter, however Smith had a vital drop on a wide-open third-down move that preceded the Commanders’ successful landing drive.

Maye has accomplished some good issues in a tricky spot, however he has to wash up his ball safety points. They have been again on Sunday in a 24-21 loss in Buffalo, the place he threw an interception ultimately zone and fumbled twice, one among which was recovered ultimately zone for a Buffalo landing. That was a winnable sport that slipped away.
