Carolina continue to impress, and whilst much of the credit can be granted to MVP candidate Christian McCaffrey (166 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns against the Titans), their defense is criminally under-appreciated throughout the NFL. Shaq Thompson was the pick of the bunch in the win over Tennessee, with the linebacker registering an impressive 10 tackles as well as 1.0 sack. This defense, and particularly the front seven, is slept on.

Offensive Play of the Week: Courtland Sutton TD vs Cleveland Browns

This play was so ridiculous I texted my friend to tell him that it was ridiculous. Brandon Allen snapped the ball and threw a hopeful arching pass towards the side of the endzone. As the camera panned, it appeared that it would be dealt with by Pro Bowl corner Denzel Ward, but then something flew over his shoulder to grab the ball. Was it a bird? Was it a plane? No, it was Courtland Sutton launching himself into a superman catch to expertly rein in the 21-yard touchdown. It was a truly magnificent play that inspired the Broncos to a big victory over the Browns, who are in freefall.

Defensive Play of the Week: Daryl Worley INT vs Detroit Lions

Is this the best - or at least, most impressive - interception of all-time? It’s certainly in the conversation. Midway through the second quarter, Detroit QB Matt Stafford threw a pass that seemed certain to be incomplete unless his intended received Golladay became superhuman. Instead, Oakland back Daryl Worley dramatically leapt and somehow snatched the contested ball with one-hand as he fell to the ground in the endzone. What an effort by the fourth-year cornerback, who has embarked on something of a journeyman career during his short time in the NFL.

The ‘He said it, not me’ Award: the City of London

After his Houston Texans embarrassed the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in the United Kingdom, offensive superstar DeAndre Hopkins questioned why there is not a team in London. He stated that the exceptional facilities and the passionate fanbase prove that the area is ready to join the league. The powers that be have seemingly been discussing and researching the prospect of an NFL franchise in London for years now. I remember reading an article in 2014 that stated an agreement was close for a franchise to be fully functional by 2022; well, 2020 is right around the corner, and unfortunately I don’t hear any such rumblings. The city, and country, is ready. Think of the Toronto Raptors - their NBA championship victory was celebrated across Canada. This venture would unite fans of the sport across the country, and the demand is certainly here. All we need now is the supply.
