NFLSU Week 9 Recap

All the LSU Football we needed last weekend

While the 2024 LSU Tigers had the week off, plenty of beloved alumni had big Sundays. Time to break down all the action.

Texans 13 at Jets 21

After being signed midseason, Jalen Mills has already become a key part of this Jets defense. His 10 tackles led the team and were tied for a game-high. Jarrick Bernard-Converse added a tackle as well. Derek Stingley Jr. had four tackles with two pass breakups, while Danielle Hunter had one tackle and one pass breakup. Devin White played but did not have a tackle.

NFLSU Score: 5/10

Dolphins 27 at Bills 30

Blake Ferguson sadly couldn’t be back for a Ferguson Bowl, but he’s eligible to be back in two weeks. Among Reid’s significant snaps was a game-winning 61-yard field goal. The most recent LSU Football game was proof at how critical a good long snapper is! Odell Beckham Jr. caught three passes for 15 yards. In his second active game as a Dolphin Neil Farrell had one tackle.

NFLSU Score: 3/10

Broncos 10 at Ravens 41

Kwon Alexander had five tackles.

NFLSU Score: 2/10

Chargers 27 at Browns 10

No DJ Chark or Kristian Fulton for L.A. Grant Delpit had 7 tackles and Ethan Pocic played every offensive snap.

NFLSU Score: 3/10

Saints 22 at Panthers 23

Foster Moreau only caught one pass for 13 yards and it was a damn impressive TD.

Tyrann Mathieu had two tackles. Damien Lewis played every snap and contributed to an ever rare Panthers win. Dennis Allen will not be missed.

NFLSU Score: 6/10

Raiders 24 at Bengals 41

In their fifth try, the Cincinnati Bengals won a home game. Joe Burrow was locked in, going 27/39 for 251 yards with 5 TDs and 1 INT. He had never thrown 5 TDs in a game prior to this season and has now done it twice in the span of a month. Your webpage would probably crash if I linked all 5 TDs, so here’s the best one in my opinion.

Ja’Marr Chase had a modest day by his standards with 43 yards on 7 catches. K’Lavon Chaisson had one tackle.

NFLSU Score: 8/10

Commaners 27 at Giants 22

Another LSU QB, another win. Jayden Daniels went 15/22 for 209 yards with 2 TDs, 0 INTs, and 35 rushing yards. The second touchdown was this cold-blooded dime with no timeouts right before the half.

Malik Nabers caught nine passes for 59 yards, both team-highs. Cor’Dale Flott had five tackles.

The next two Thursday nights see LSU QBs on the road in big division matchups. Bengals at Baltimore on the 7th, Commanders in Philly on the 14th. Let’s have some fun.

NFLSU Score: 8/10

Cowboys 21 at Falcons 27

Damone Clark had one tackle.

NFLSU Score: 1/10

Patriots 17 at Titans 20 (OT)

Kayshon Boutte caught two passes for 18 yards. Arden Key had two tackles and a sack. Davon Godchaux had four tackles and a pass breakup.

NFLSU Score: 5/10

Bears 9 at Cardinals 29

Skip!

NFLSU Score: 0/10

Jaguars 23 at Eagles 28

Brian Thomas Jr caught two passes for 22 yards. Sticking with the 2 theme, he also caught a two-point conversion. Jordan Jefferson had one tackle that was the first sack of his NFL career.

NFLSU Score: 5/10

Rams 26 at Seahawks 20 (OT)

Omar Speights had two tackles. Anthony Bradford blocked. At the time of writing, Tre’Davious White is still a Ram. At the time you read this, he might not be!

NFLSU Score: 2/10

Lions 24 at Packers 14

Mekhi Wingo was inactive, so this is sadly a skip.

NFLSU Score: 0/10

Colts 13 at Vikings 21

Justin Jefferson is so good.

Jets caught 7 passes for 137 yards. He also threw a pass for 22 yards. Going off QB rating, he was the best QB in this game! Ed Ingram blocked and Jay Ward played some special teams.

NFLSU Score: 8/10

Buccaneers 24 at Chiefs 30 (OT)

Trey Palmer caught two passes for 33 yards, all of which was on a critical final drive to tie the game. He also returned two punts for 18 yards. Clyde Edwards-Helaire curiously has still not been active this year.

NFLSU Score: 2/10
