The Best of Football Twitter in Week 9
Every week during the NFL season, the 33rd Team will present some of the most interesting Tweets that come across our timeline during Sunday’s action. Here’s the Week 9 rundown:
Might be time to start looking at Kingsbury in the Coach of the Year mix, no?

Most interceptions in the NFL since 2018: J.C. Jackson (22)
Most interceptions in the NFL since 2019: J.C. Jackson (19)
Most interceptions in the NFL since 2020: J.C. Jackson (14)
Ballhawk.

Have we tried unplugging the quarterbacks and plugging them back in?

With a questionable crop of college QBs entering via the draft and the Panthers on the hook for $18.8M on Sam Darnold next year, the Carolina doesn't have a whole lot of options to improve at the position.
There was never any justification for the trade and option pickup. https://t.co/zFXSRBdCfs

Love Sam. Have had his back in dark times-thought he would be much improved in Carolina—-I was dead wrong—can’t anymore. Way way way too many mistakes.

The teams that moved on from Von Miller and Odell Beckham are having their best games of the year.
— Andrew Brandt (@AndrewBrandt) November 7, 2021
JC Jackson now has 22 interceptions since the start of 2018, the most in the NFL
— Ben Volin (@BenVolin) November 7, 2021
The parity within the NFL this year is at its highest point in years. It will certainly be a fight to the finish.
The NFL is fun this season because there’s no overwhelming favorite to win the Super Bowl right now. At least according to my eyes. I could see plenty of teams getting hot the final month of the season. Don’t recall feeling this way in years past

The Sam Darnold decision is looking quite questionable at the moment.
Sam Darnold will count $18.8 million against the Panthers cap next season#NEvsCAR
— Mike Renner (@PFF_Mike) November 7, 2021
Sam Darnold has been absolute perfect on throws to Patriots CB J.C. Jackson today.
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) November 7, 2021
Josh Allen is winning the Josh Allen battle
— Big Cat (@BarstoolBigCat) November 7, 2021
The NFL and its fans will never forget the Josh Allen vs. Josh Allen battle. Nor will we forget that Josh Allen won said battle.
Poor Josh Allen. Nice work Josh Allen.

Mike Gesicki signed a deal with the devil for this athletic ability and elite hand-eye coordination. In exchange, he is *only* allowed to make spectacular catches. No routine, accurate pass will ever be thrown his way. pic.twitter.com/uERFuwbf93

Mike Gesicki is one of the most underrated athletes in the NFL. Just check out his NFL Combine numbers.
Mike Gesicki has a hand full of the best catches in the NFL over the last couple of seasons.
Guy's ability to make spectacular snags is pretty peerless.#HOUvsMIA

Smashed that Y button so damn early. ???? pic.twitter.com/LASEAZJJ0s
— Big Cat (@BarstoolBigCat) November 7, 2021
Stephon Gillmore played well against New England. The rest of the Panthers? Not so much...
It's almost like Gilmore knows what the Patriots playbook looks like.
— Aaron Schatz ???? (@FO_ASchatz) November 7, 2021
Revenge pick. https://t.co/LUGiLWo7Kb

The Burrow pick-six is bad but what happened on the return might be even more painful
— Bill Barnwell (@billbarnwell) November 7, 2021
In effectively swapping Justin Jefferson and Stefon Diggs, the Bills and Vikings both won that trade.
With a 50-yard rec TD in the 1st quarter, Justin Jefferson has surpassed 2,000 career receiving yards in his 24th career game
He is the second-fastest player to reach 2,000 career receiving yards in the Super Bowl era, behind only Odell Beckham Jr. (21 games)#Vikings

That’s no pick-6. It’s a pick-11.
