NFL Week 9 News & Notes
Sunday, Nov. 6
Brady Makes (More) NFL History
To add just a little more history to a career full of it, Tom Brady became the first quarterback in NFL history to pass for over 100,000 yards in his career. Brady reached the milestone on a pass to Leonard Fournette in the fourth quarter. He provided a little more magic on top of that moment, leading a game-winning drive that culminated in a touchdown to tight end Cade Otton with under ten seconds to play to beat the L.A. Rams.
Packers' Offense Down Two Men Following Loss
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones had to leave the team's loss to the Detroit Lions early in Week 9, and after the game, was showing signs from his injury. Jones was walking with a limp following the contest, and was later seen wearing a walking boot.
Jones' injury wasn't the only one suffered by Green Bay to its starting offense. Receiver Romeo Doubt left early in the contest and joined Jones with a walking boot following the game.
As if those injuries weren't enough, the Packers also had the following players leave the contest at some point: Cornerback Eric Stokes and defensive lineman Rashan Gary on carts, tackle David Bakhtiari with a knee injury, and wide receiver Christian Watson with a concussion.
Baker is Back
The Carolina Panthers have benched quarterback PJ Walker in favor of Baker Mayfield in Sunday's game against the Bengals. The Panthers were trailing the Bengals 35-0 when they made the switch.
Walker was named the starter last week against the Falcons after throwing for 317 yards and completing a Hail Mary pass to D.J. Moore to send the game to overtime. Walker was three-of-10 with nine passing yards and two interceptions before getting benched.
Mayfield led the Panthers down the field for a touchdown on his first drive taking over for Walker.
Andrews Out for MNF
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews did not travel with the team to New Orleans for their Monday night game against the Saints and has been ruled out, the team announced.
Andrews was battling knee and shoulder injuries during the week. He left the team's last game against the Buccaneers with a shoulder injury.
Jets' Zach Wilson Injured, Returns
New York Jets QB Zach Wilson was taken to the medical tent after taking a hit on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Wilson returned to the game on the next series.
Wilson took a shot in his upper body and remained down on the ground before medical trainers came out to look at him.
Packers Tried to Make Deal Before Deadline
The Green Bay Packers attempted to make trades for Panthers WR D.J. Moore, Raiders tight end Darren Waller and Steelers WR Chase Claypool prior to the Nov. 1 trade deadline, NFL Media reported.
Claypool ended up with the Bears in exchange for a second-round pick while the Raiders and Panthers both deemed Waller and Moore too valuable to move, respectively.
Rams' Akers Might Play
Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers is expected to be active on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, ESPN reported. Akers hasn't played since Oct.9. It's unclear how much he'll actually play in the game.
The running back was benched causing him to request a trade from the Rams and sit out the past couple of weeks. The Rams attempted to move the young running back before the Nov.1 deadline but were unsuccessful.
