Los 11 titulares – Continúan los partidos cerrados con líderes divisionales regresando a la acción, además de la continuación de la serie internacional en la octava semana
Los partidos cerrados y las remontadas siguen siendo las cartas de presentación de la campaña 2022. Ninguna temporada anterior en la historia de la NFL ha tenido más partidos (84) que hayan estado dentro de una anotación (ocho puntos) en el último cuarto o decididos por una anotación o menos (49 juegos en 1999 y 2022) durante las primeras siete semanas. También hubo 34 partidos este año en los que un equipo resurgió para ganar o empatar después de ir perdiendo en el último cuarto, empatando las temporadas de 2012 y 1989 por la mayor cantidad hasta la semana 7. Tres líderes de división regresan de su semana de descanso buscando retomar su impulso a medida que la liga se dirige hacia el punto medio de la temporada 2022.
El último equipo invicto que queda en la NFL y líder de la NFC Este, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (6-0), busca igualar su mejor comienzo de temporada en la historia de la franquicia (7-0 en 2004). Una de las claves del inicio de temporada del club ha sido el control del balón. Philadelphia lidera la liga en:
- Jugadas por partido (70.7), la tercera marca más alta por un equipo que comenzó su temporada 6-0 en la historia de la NFL, solamente detrás de Dallas Cowboys de 1977 (73.7) y Denver Broncos de 2013 (71.3).
- Tiempo de posesión (33:59), el cuarto tiempo promedio de posesión más alto de un equipo que ganó cada uno de sus primeros seis partidos de una temporada desde 1977, sólo detrás de New Orleans Saints de 1991 (35:20), New England Patriots de 2007 (35:13) y San Francisco 49ers de 2019 (34:46).
BUFFALO BILLS (5-1), que lidera la AFC Este y posee el mayor margen de puntos de la liga (+95), recibe a GREEN BAY PACKERS (3-4) en el clásico de domingo en la noche Sunday Night Football (8:20 p. m. ET, NBC). Bills busca su cuarta victoria esta temporada sobre un ganador de división de 2021, habiendo derrotado previamente a Los Angeles Rams (primera semana), Tennessee (segunda) y Kansas City (sexta). En la cima de la NFC Norte, MINNESOTA VIKINGS (5-1) viene de su descanso después de haber ganado cuatro partidos consecutivos, tres de los cuales incluyeron una remontada en el último cuarto. El mariscal de campo KIRK COUSINS ha lanzado un pase anotador en 36 juegos consecutivos y puede superar al miembro del Salón de la Fama BRETT FAVRE (36 partidos entre 2002 y 2004) para la sexta racha más larga en la era del Super Bowl. Eagles (3-0), Bills (2-0) y Vikings (3-0), que cada uno es anfitrión en la octava semana después de su descanso en la séptima, son los únicos tres equipos que quedan en 2022 con marca perfecta en casa. También en la semana 8 se llevará a cabo el tercer partido internacional de la temporada 2022, que tendrá lugar en el estadio Wembley e Londres entre DENVER BRONCOS (2-5) y JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (2-5). Broncos (seis juegos) y Jaguars (cinco) son dos de los nueve equipos que esta temporada han jugado en al menos cinco partidos definidos por un margen final de ocho puntos o menos. Los 11 titulares entrando en la octava semana… 1. RIVALIDADES DENTRO DEL ESTADO. Tres partidos en el calendario de la octava semana presentan enfrentamientos dentro del propio estado… o En Pennsylvania (1:00 PM, hora de New York, CBS), PITTSBURGH (2-5) visita el Lincoln Financial Field para enfrentarse a PHILADELPHIA (6-0). Cada uno de los cinco encuentros entre los dos clubes en los últimos 20 años ha sido ganado por el equipo local. Eagles está 9-0 en partidos en casa contra Pittsburgh en la era del Super Bowl. o En California (4:25 PM, hora de New York, FOX), SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (3-4) visita a LOS ANGELES RAMS (3-3) cuando los rivales de la NFC Oeste se enfrenten por segunda vez esta temporada. En el clásico de lunes en la noche Monday Night Football de la cuarta semana, 49ers derrotó a Rams 24-9 cuando NICK BOSA registró dos de las siete capturas del equipo, el máximo de la temporada del equipo. San Francisco ha ganado siete encuentros consecutivos de temporada regular sobre Los Angeles desde 2019, con Rams imponiéndose 20-17 sobre 49ers en SoFi Stadium en el Juego de Campeonato de la NFC la temporada pasada en camino a su título en el Super Bowl LVI. o En Ohio, en el clásico de lunes en la noche Monday Night Football (8:15 PM, hora de New York, ESPN), CINCINNATI (4-3) visita a CLEVELAND (2-5) en una batalla entre rivales de la AFC Norte. Browns ganó cuatro encuentros consecutivos entre los dos clubes, la racha ganadora más larga de Cleveland contra un rival divisional desde la realineación de 2002.
2. NÚMERO DE LA SEMANA – 9.33. El margen del marcador final promedio esta temporada, de 9.33 puntos, es el promedio más bajo hasta la semana 7 desde 1970. Sólo otras tres temporadas desde la fusión (1982, 1983 y 2016) han tenido un margen de puntaje promedio de menos de 10 puntos hasta la séptima semana desde 1970 en las primeras siete semanas. 3. LA DIVISIÓN EXCELENCIA. El porcentaje de victorias combinado de los equipos de la NFC Este esta temporada es .741 (20-7), el más alto en una sola división durante las primeras siete semanas de una temporada desde 2002. Solo en otras dos ocasiones, desde la realineación, una división ha tenido un porcentaje de victorias de .700 o más durante las primeras siete semanas: la AFC Oeste en 2013 (.704; 19-8) y la NFC Oeste en 2020 (.704; 19-8). 4. EN LA MARQUESINA – ENFRENTAMIENTO INDIVIDUAL. Cuando TENNESSEE (4-2) visite a HOUSTON (1-4-1) el domingo (4:05 p. m. ET, CBS), dos de los cinco corredores con al menos 500 yardas terrestres esta temporada estarán en acción. El corredor de los Titans DERRICK HENRY, quien lidera la NFL en yardas terrestres (6,843 yardas) desde 2017, ocupa el cuarto lugar con 536 yardas terrestres en 2022, mientras que el corredor de Houston DAMEON PIERCE lidera a todos los novatos y ocupa el quinto lugar entre todos los corredores con 504 yardas acarreadas esta campaña.
Henry busca continuar con su dominio terrestre sobre la AFC Sur desde que ingresó en la liga, en 2016. En los 35 juegos en su carrera, Henry ha promediado 99 yardas terrestres por partido contra la AFC Sur, el tercer promedio más alto de yardas acarreadas por partido contra una sola división desde 1970 (mínimo de 20 juegos). Solo los corredores exaltados en el Salón de la Fama BARRY SANDERS (104.7 yardas terrestres por juego contra la NFC Central) y ERIC DICKERSON (102.1 contra la NFC Central) tienen un promedio más alto.
Incluyendo 128 yardas por tierra contra Indianapolis la semana pasada, Henry acarreó al menos 100 yardas en nueve de sus últimos 10 partidos divisionales. Ostenta una marca de la NFL con los cinco partidos en su carrera con al menos 200 yardas por tierra y múltiples acarreos anotadores, incluyendo cada uno de sus últimos tres partidos contra Texans. 5. EN LA MARQUESINA – ENFRENTAMIENTO DE EQUIPOS. DENVER BRONCOS (2-5) y JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (2-5) se dirigen al estadio Wembley de Londres el domingo (9:30 AM ET, ESPN+) en un duelo que presenta a dos de las cinco unidades defensivas de la AFC que están permitiendo menos de 20 puntos por partido esta temporada. Cada club está liderado por un coordinador defensivo de primer año: EJIRO EVERO, de Broncos, y MIKE CALDWELL, de Jaguars.
Denver ingresa en la octava semana en segundo lugar en defensiva total (286 yardas permitidas por partido) y defensiva contra el juego aéreo (173.1 yardas permitidas por partido) y tercero en puntos permitidos (16.4 puntos por partido). Jacksonville lidera la NFL con 48 pases defendidos esta temporada y está en el cuarto lugar en la AFC, empatado, en puntos permitidos (19.6 puntos por partido). Broncos y Jaguars son dos de los tres equipos de la AFC (Buffalo) que permitieron menos de 14 puntos en tres partidos en 2022. 6. RACHAS QUE HABLAN. Cinco equipos ingresan en la octava semana con una racha ganadora de al menos cuatro partidos, ya que Philadelphia abrió la temporada con seis victorias consecutivas, y Minnesota, New York Giants, New York Jets y Tennessee ganaron cada uno sus últimos cuatro comrpomisos. La última temporada en la que cinco equipos estaban cada uno en una racha ganadora de cinco o más partidos al mismo tiempo fue 2017.
Giants y Jets ganaron cada uno sus primeros cuatro partidos en el mes de octubre, la primera vez que ambos clubes tienen una racha de cuatro triunfos al mismo tiempo desde 2008 (semanas 8 a 12). Con victorias en la octava semana, ambos clubes pueden unirse a GREEN BAY PACKERS de 2021, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS de 2019, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES de 2017 y NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS de 2007 como los únicos equipos desde 2002 que terminaron 5-0 en el mes de octubre en una temporada. Cada uno de los cuatro equipos anteriores en lograr tal hazaña terminó la temporada como el preclasificado número 1 en sus respectivas conferencias. 7. ¿LO SABÍAS?: El corredor novato de Seattle KENNETH WALKER es el único jugador en la NFL esta temporada con dos acarreos anotadores de al menos 65 yardas. Su primer acarreo anotador fue de 69 yardas, en la quinta semana, y la semana pasada registró una anotación terrestre de 74 yardas. Walker es el primer novato con dos acarreos anotadores de al menos 65 yardas desde SAQUON BARKLEY (2018). Seattle (4-3) recibe a Barkley y a New York Giants (6-1) el domingo (4:25 PM, hora de New York, FOX). 8. HISTORIA BAJO EL RADAR. Cuando CLEVELAND (2-5) reciba CINCINNATI (4-3) en el clásico de lunes en la noche Monday Night Football (8:15 PM, hora de New York, ESPN), será un asunto familiar, ya que BILL CALLAHAN, entrenador de la línea ofensiva de Cleveland, y su hijo, BRIAN CALLAHAN, coordinador ofensivo de Cincinnati, se enfrentan por quinta vez como rivales de división desde 2020.
El ataque terrestre de Browns bajo la dirección de Bill Callahan, quien ha sido entrenador de la línea ofensiva de Cleveland desde 2020, ocupa el segundo lugar en yardas terrestres por partido (149.8) y el tercero en yardas por intento de acarreo (4.98) en las últimas tres temporadas. Cleveland es uno de los cinco equipos de la AFC que permite una o menos capturas en cuatro juegos en 2022.
Brian Callahan, coordinador ofensivo de Cincinnati desde 2019, ayudó a Bengals a lograr una aparición en el Super Bowl LVI la temporada pasada, ya que el equipo ocupa el quinto lugar en yardas aéreas por partido (264.8) y el sexto lugar en ofensiva anotadora (26.4 puntos por partido) desde principios de la temporada 2021. Bengals ingresa en la octava semana en segundo lugar en tiempo promedio de posesión (32:25) y tercero en eficiencia de tercer intento (49.5 por ciento; 46 de 93). 9. TENDENCIA. Desde 2017, la primera temporada del entrenador en jefe SEAN MCDERMOTT con Buffalo, Bills ha ganado cada una de sus tres apariciones en el clásico de domingo en la noche Sunday Night Football, el único equipo con múltiples victorias y ninguna derrota en partidos de domingo por la noche durante las últimas seis temporadas.
Buffalo, que viene de un descanso en la séptima semana, también tiene un perfecto 5-0 bajo el mando de McDermott después de su semana de descanso, uno de los tres equipos en obtener una victoria después de su descanso en cada uno de los últimos cinco años. Pittsburgh también tiene marca de 5-0 después de su descanso desde 2017 y tiene su descanso de la novena semana en 2022 luego de su enfrentamiento de la semana 8 contra Philadelphia. Tennessee tiene marca de 6-0 desde 2017 después de su semana de descanso, incluido el 5-0 con el entrenador en jefe Mike Vrabel, luego de su victoria de la semana 7 sobre Indianapolis. McDermott puede convertirse en el tercer entrenador en jefe en ganar cada uno de sus primeros seis partidos luego de la semana libre, uniéndose a ANDY REID (primeros 13 juegos) y al miembro del Salón de la Fama DON SHULA (siete).
Con el entrenador en jefe Matt LaFleur, Green Bay tiene marca de 16-2 en partidos que comienzan a las 7:00 PM, hora de New York o más tarde, incluyendo 13 victorias consecutivas en partidos en horario central, la racha más larga de ese tipo desde 1970. Con su victoria en el clásico de domingo en la noche Sunday Night Football en la segunda semana, Packers superó a Indianapolis Colts (12 victorias consecutivas en horario central desde la novena semana de 2004 hasta la séptima de 2007) y Pittsburgh Steelers (12 victorias consecutivas en horario central desde la novena semana de 2007 hasta la novena de 2009) para la racha más larga de victorias en horario central desde la fusión.
De cara al clásico de domingo en la noche Sunday Night Football, el mariscal de campo de Buffalo, JOSH ALLEN, tiene el índice de pasador más alto (108,6) entre todos los QB con al menos 300 intentos de pase en partidos de horario estelar desde 1970, mientras que el mariscal de campo de Green Bay, AARON RODGERS, ocupa el segundo lugar (106,5). 10. ESTA SEMANA EN LA HISTORIA DE LA NFL. 28 de octubre de 2007 (15 años atrás) – New York Giants derrotó a Miami Dolphins 13-10 en el estadio Wembley e Londres, Inglaterra, en el primer partido de temporada regular jugado en la capital del país británico y el primer partido de temporada regular jugado fuera de Norteamérica. La NFL continúa su periplo internacional de 2022 en la octava semana, cuando DENVER BRONCOS (2-5) se enfrente a JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (2-5) en Wembley el domingo (9:30 a. m. ET, ESPN+). Jaguars ha jugado en Londres en ocho de las últimas nueve temporadas y regresa al estadio Wembley por primera vez desde 2019. 11. Y POR ÚLTIMO, PERO NO MENOS IMPORTANTE. El enfrentamiento del lunes entre Browns y Bengals marcará la octava vez desde 1970 que la NFL juega un partido el lunes por la noche en Halloween. El de 2022 será el quinto partido consecutivo en el clásico de lunes en la noche Monday Night Football en Halloween desde 1990 protagonizado por oponentes divisionales: 2016 (NFC Norte – Minnesota 10 en Chicago 20), 2011 (AFC Oeste – San Diego Chargers 20 en Kansas City 23), 2005 (AFC Norte – Baltimore 19 en Pittsburgh 20) y 1994 (NFC Central – Green Bay 33 en Chicago 6).

| The Starting 11 -- Close Games Continue as Division Leaders Return to Action and International Slate Resumes in Week 8 | Close games and comebacks continue to be calling cards of the 2022 campaign. No prior season in NFL history has had more games (84) that have been within one score (eight points) in the fourth quarter or decided by one touchdown or less (49 games in 1999 and 2022) through the first seven weeks. There have also been 34 games this year in which a team came back to win or tie after trailing in the fourth quarter, tied with the 2012 and 1989 seasons for the most ever through Week 7. Three division leaders return from their bye week looking to resume their momentum as the league heads towards the midway point of the 2022 season.
The NFL’s last remaining unbeaten team and NFC East leading PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (6-0) look to match their best start to a season in franchise history (7-0 in 2004). One of the keys to the club’s start to the season has been ball control. Philadelphia leads the league in:
- Plays per game (70.7), the third-highest mark by a team that began their season 6-0 in NFL history, trailing only the 1977 Dallas Cowboys (73.7) and 2013 Denver Broncos (71.3).
- Time of possession (33:59), the fourth-highest average time of possession by a team that won each of their first six games of a season since 1977, trailing only the 1991 New Orleans Saints (35:20), 2007 New England Patriots (35:13) and 2019 San Francisco 49ers (34:46).
The BUFFALO BILLS (5-1), who lead the AFC East and possess the league’s top points margin (+95), host the GREEN BAY PACKERS (3-4) on Sunday Night Football (8:20 PM ET, NBC). The Bills are looking for their fourth win this season over a 2021 division winner, having previously defeated the Los Angeles Rams (Week 1), Tennessee (Week 2) and Kansas City (Week 6). Atop the NFC North, the MINNESOTA VIKINGS (5-1) come off their bye having won four consecutive games, three of which featured a fourth-quarter comeback victory. Quarterback KIRK COUSINS has thrown a touchdown pass in 36 consecutive games and can surpass Pro Football Hall of Famer BRETT FAVRE (36 games from 2002-04) for the sixth-longest such streak in the Super Bowl era. The Eagles (3-0), Bills (2-0) and Vikings (3-0), who each host a Week 8 game following their Week 7 bye, are the only three teams remaining in 2022 with perfect home records. Also in Week 8, the third international game of the 2022 season will take place at Wembley Stadium in London between the DENVER BRONCOS (2-5) and JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (2-5). The Broncos (six games) and Jaguars (five) are two of the nine teams this season who have played in at least five games with a final score margin of eight-or-fewer points. The Starting 11 entering Week 8… 1. INTRASTATE RIVALRIES: Three games on the Week 8 schedule feature intrastate matchups…
- In Pennsylvania (1:00 PM ET, CBS), PITTSBURGH (2-5) visits Lincoln Financial Field to take on PHILADELPHIA (6-0). Each of the five meetings between the two clubs over the past 20 years has been won by the home team. The Eagles are 9-0 in home games against Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl era.
- In California (4:25 PM ET, FOX), the SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (3-4) visit the LOS ANGELES RAMS (3-3) as the NFC West rivals meet for the second time this season. On Monday Night Football in Week 4, the 49ers defeated the Rams, 24-9, as NICK BOSA registered two of the team's season-high seven sacks. San Francisco has won seven consecutive regular-season meetings over Los Angeles dating back to 2019, with the Rams earning a 20-17 win over the 49ers at SoFi Stadium in the NFC Championship game last season en route to the Super Bowl LVI title.
- In Ohio on Monday Night Football (8:15 PM ET, ESPN), CINCINNATI (4-3) visits CLEVELAND (2-5) in a battle between AFC North foes. The Browns have won four consecutive meetings between the two clubs, Cleveland's longest winning streak against a division opponent since realignment in 2002.
2. NUMBER OF THE WEEK – 9.33: The average final score margin of 9.33 points this season is the lowest average final score margin through Week 7 since 1970. Only three other seasons since the merger (1982, 1983 and 2016) have had an average score margin of fewer than 10 points through the first seven weeks.
3. NOTE THAT MATTERS: The combined winning percentage by NFC East teams this season is .741 (20-7), the highest winning percentage by a single division through the first seven weeks of a season since 2002. Only on two other occasions since realignment has a division had a winning percentage of .700-or-higher through the first seven weeks, the 2013 AFC West (.704; 19-8) and 2020 NFC West (.704; 19-8).
4. SPOTLIGHT – INDIVIDUAL MATCHUP: When TENNESSEE (4-2) visits HOUSTON (1-4-1) on Sunday (4:05 PM ET, CBS), two of the five running backs with at least 500 rushing yards this season will be in action. Titans running back DERRICK HENRY, who leads the NFL in rushing yards (6,843 yards) since 2017, ranks fourth with 536 rushing yards in 2022 while Houston running back DAMEON PIERCE leads all rookies and ranks fifth among all running backs with 504 rushing yards this season.
Henry looks to continue his rushing dominance over the AFC South since he entered the league in 2016. In 35 career games, Henry has averaged 99 rushing yards per game against the AFC South, the third-highest rushing yards per game average against a single division since 1970 (minimum 20 games). Only Pro Football Hall of Fame running backs BARRY SANDERS (104.7 rushing yards per game against the NFC Central) and ERIC DICKERSON (102.1 rushing yards per game against the NFC Central) have a higher average.
Including 128 rushing yards against Indianapolis last week, Henry has rushed for at least 100 yards in nine of his past 10 division games. He has an NFL-record five career games with at least 200 rushing yards and multiple rushing touchdowns, including each of his past three games against the Texans.
5. SPOTLIGHT – TEAM MATCHUP: The DENVER BRONCOS (2-5) and JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (2-5) head to Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday (9:30 AM ET, ESPN+) in a matchup that features two of the five AFC defensive units allowing fewer than 20 points per game this season. Each club is led by a first-year defensive coordinator - the Broncos' EJIRO EVERO and the Jaguars' MIKE CALDWELL.
Denver enters Week 8 ranked second in total defense (286 yards allowed per game) and pass defense (173.1 yards allowed per game) and third in scoring defense (16.4 points allowed per game). Jacksonville leads the NFL with 48 passes defensed this season and ranks tied for fourth in the AFC in scoring defense (19.6 points allowed per game). The Broncos and Jaguars are two of three AFC teams (Buffalo) to allow fewer than 14 points in three games in 2022.
6. STREAK SPEAK: Five teams enter Week 8 on a winning streak of at least four games as Philadelphia has opened the season with six consecutive wins and Minnesota, the New York Giants, the New York Jets and Tennessee have each won their past four contests. The last season in which five teams were each on a five-or-more game winning streak at the same time was 2017.
The Giants and Jets have each won their first four games in the month of October, the first time both clubs have been on a four-game winning streak at the same time since 2008 (Weeks 8-12). With victories in Week 8, both clubs can join the 2021 GREEN BAY PACKERS, 2019 SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS, 2017 PHILADELPHIA EAGLES and 2007 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS as the only teams since 2002 to go 5-0 in the month of October in a season. Each of the four previous teams to accomplish the feat finished the season as the No. 1 overall seed in their respective conferences.
7. DID YOU KNOW?: Seattle rookie running back KENNETH WALKER is the only player in the NFL this season with two rushing touchdowns of at least 65 yards. His first career rushing touchdown was a 69-yard run in Week 5 and last week, he registered a 74-yard rushing touchdown. Walker is the first rookie with two rushing touchdowns of at least 65 yards since SAQUON BARKLEY (2018). Seattle (4-3) hosts Barkley and the New York Giants (6-1) on Sunday (4:25 PM ET, FOX).
8. UNDER-THE-RADAR STORYLINE: When CLEVELAND (2-5) hosts CINCINNATI (4-3) on Monday Night Football (8:15 PM ET, ESPN), it will be a family affair as BILL CALLAHAN, Cleveland's offensive line coach, and his son, BRIAN CALLAHAN, Cincinnati's offensive coordinator, meet for the fifth time as division rivals since 2020.
The Browns rushing attack under Bill Callahan, who has been Cleveland's offensive line coach since 2020, ranks second in rushing yards per game (149.8) and third in yards per rush attempt (4.98) over the past three seasons. Cleveland is one of five AFC teams to allow one-or-fewer sacks in four games in 2022.
Brian Callahan, Cincinnati's offensive coordinator since 2019, helped the Bengals to a Super Bowl LVI appearance last season as the team ranks fifth in passing yards per game (264.8) and sixth in scoring offense (26.4 points per game) since the beginning of the 2021 season. The Bengals enter Week 8 ranked second in average time of possession (32:25) and third in third down efficiency (49.5 percent; 46 of 93).
9. TREND TIME: Since 2017, head coach SEAN MCDERMOTT's first season with Buffalo, the Bills have won each of their three Sunday Night Football appearances, the only team with multiple wins and no defeats on Sunday night games over the past six seasons.
Buffalo, who is coming off a Week 7 bye, is also a perfect 5-0 under McDermott after their bye week, one of three teams to earn a victory after their bye in each of the past five years. Pittsburgh is also 5-0 after their bye since 2017 and has a Week 9 bye in 2022 following their Week 8 meeting with Philadelphia. Tennessee is 6-0 since 2017 after their bye week, including 5-0 under head coach Mike Vrabel, following their Week 7 victory over Indianapolis. McDermott can become the third head coach ever to win each of his first six games following a bye, joining ANDY REID (first 13 games) and Pro Football Hall of Famer DON SHULA (seven).
Under head coach Matt LaFleur, Green Bay is 16-2 in games with a start time of 7:00 PM ET or later, including 13 consecutive wins in primetime games, the longest such streak since 1970. With their victory on Sunday Night Football in Week 2, the Packers surpassed the Indianapolis Colts (12 consecutive primetime wins from Week 9, 2004 to Week 7, 2007) and Pittsburgh Steelers (12 consecutive primetime wins from Week 9, 2007 to Week 9, 2009) for the longest streak of primetime wins since the merger.
Heading into Sunday Night Football, Buffalo quarterback JOSH ALLEN has the highest passer rating (108.6) among all quarterbacks with at least 300 pass attempts in primetime games since 1970, while Green Bay quarterback AARON RODGERS ranks second (106.5).
10. THIS WEEK IN NFL HISTORY: October 28, 2007 (15 years ago) – The New York Giants defeated the Miami Dolphins, 13-10, at Wembley Stadium in London, England, in the first regular-season game played in London and the first regular-season game played outside of North America. The NFL continues the 2022 international slate in Week 8 as the DENVER BRONCOS (2-5) take on the JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (2-5) at Wembley Stadium on Sunday (9:30 AM ET, ESPN+). The Jaguars have played in London in eight of the past nine seasons and return to Wembley Stadium for the first time since 2019.
11. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST: Monday's matchup between the Browns and Bengals will mark the eighth time since 1970 that the NFL has played a Monday night game on Halloween. 2022 will mark the fifth-consecutive Monday Night Football game on Halloween since 1990 to feature divisional opponents: 2016 (NFC North – Minnesota 10 at Chicago 20), 2011 (AFC West – San Diego Chargers 20 at Kansas City 23), 2005 (AFC North – Baltimore 19 at Pittsburgh 20) and 1994 (NFC Central – Green Bay 33 at Chicago 6).

Baltimore quarterback LAMAR JACKSON totaled 179 yards (120 passing, 59 rushing) last week, his sixth consecutive game with at least 50 rushing yards, marking the third-longest such streak of his career. Jackson leads all quarterbacks with 510 rushing yards this season and he joined CAM NEWTON as the only quarterbacks ever with at least 500 rushing yards in each of their first five seasons. With 57 rushing yards on Thursday, Jackson will surpass Pro Football Hall of Famer STEVE YOUNG (4,239 career rushing yards) for the fifth-most rushing yards ever by a quarterback.

Demario Davis, Stefon Diggs and Lamar Jackson among latest superstar ambassadors The National Football League (NFL) and the International Federation of American Football (IFAF) today announced the fourth team of Global Flag Football Ambassadors to amplify and support the long-term growth of the game worldwide. Demario Davis, Stefon Diggs and Lamar Jackson are among the latest to join an all-star team of men and women, including current American and flag football players, Legends, coaches and officials as ambassadors who will work together to further raise the profile and promote the unique values of one of the world’s fastest growing sports.

Currently played by men, women, boys, and girls of all ages in more than 100 countries around the world, flag football is poised for even greater expansion as the cornerstone of the NFL’s domestic and international participation and development strategies. Momentum is growing behind the sport following its debut at The World Games in Birmingham, Alabama earlier this year with IFAF preparing to launch the biggest-ever cycle of elite international flag competition, including full continental representation for the first time in 2023. Flag is a fast-paced, non-contact, creative and highly skilled format that benefits from being easily accessible and inclusive, making it the perfect vehicle to attract new players, accelerate growth and promote the message of football for all. The newest members of the Global Flag Football Ambassador team are: - Demario Davis – New Orleans Saints All-Pro Linebacker
- Stefon Diggs – Buffalo Bills All-Pro Wide Receiver
- Lamar Jackson – Baltimore Ravens Quarterback and 2019 NFL Most Valuable Player
- Taylor Rapp – Los Angeles Rams Defensive Back
- Liz Sowers – Women’s Flag Football Coach, Ottawa University
- Charlie Ward – Former Florida State Quarterback and 1993 Heisman Trophy Winner
The global appeal of the international athletes selected highlights the scope and ambition of the group to grow the game worldwide but also points to the impact international players have on the NFL itself. Taylor Rapp was born in the United States to his mother, who is from Shanghai, China, and father, who is Canadian born. Liz Sowers is currently the head coach of women’s flag football program at Ottawa University in Canada. Among the previously announced ambassadors with international ties:
- Osi Umenyiora, the first British-born player to win a Super Bowl, was born in London to Nigerian parents and now works to raise the profile of the game in Europe and Africa.
- Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions wide receiver who is a German national who speaks fluent German and French, thanks to his German-born mother.
- Desiree Abrams, who made a name for herself on the international stage, including as a member of the referee team to oversee flag football at The World Games, as well as the IFAF World Flag Football Championships in 2018 and 2021 and the IFAF Women’s World Championship in 2022. In 2016, she founded the National Women’s Football Officials Association that seeks to accelerate opportunities for female referees in football.
“I’m excited to have the opportunity to represent flag football for the NFL and to use my platform to help make the sport accessible and more popular both in the United States and worldwide,” said New Orleans Saints All-Pro Linebacker Demario Davis. “Not only is it a great entry point into tackle football for youth, teaching important basics and fundamentals in a safe fashion, but the pull it has with men, women, boys and girls is impressive. I also think I really have something to give the sport of flag football from my experience coaching and mentoring teams through our Devoted Dreamers Foundation and Devoted Dreamers Academy in the New Orleans area and my home state of Mississippi. I take being a flag football ambassador as a great opportunity to continue to grow the sport.” “I am thrilled to serve as a Global Flag Football Ambassador for the worldwide expansion of flag football,” said Buffalo Bills All-Pro Wide Receiver Stefon Diggs. “I am proud to contribute to the efforts made by the NFL to grow the momentum to give flag football the global exposure it deserves.” “It’s an honor to represent the NFL as we continue to expand the popularity of flag football across the world,” said Baltimore Ravens Quarterback Lamar Jackson. “I love how quickly the game has grown, and it’s amazing to see the impact it’s made, especially on the youth level for boys and girls everywhere. Football is the ultimate team sport, and flag competition is just another way the game unites people and provides opportunities for fun.” “I am honored for this opportunity to join forces with the NFL and IFAF, as well as elite athletes and coaches, as we open eyes across the world to the game of flag football,” said Ottawa University Head Coach Liz Sowers. “I am excited to use my platform to help grow this game and to highlight the impact that this sport has on equity and inclusion. If you have any previous idea of what you think “flag football” is, I challenge you to get rid of that idea, and buckle up, because this is about to be a crazy ride. This is the first time we can finally say “football is for everyone.” "I’m honored to join the Global Flag Football Ambassador team with the NFL and IFAF”, said Heisman Trophy Winner Charlie Ward. “Football helped shape the person I've become today, and flag football was my introduction to the game. Like other team sports, flag football fosters hard work, camaraderie, and sportsmanship — all important life skills. Furthermore, it supports a healthy lifestyle by getting people outside and active. With flag football, people of all skill levels and all ages can get in on the fun, and I'm excited to help promote the game across the globe through this ambassador’s program." |
