Rarely do I remember such a crazy week in the history of the NFL, scandals, multiple unexpected surprises, and here are the five craziest things that happened this week.
5.- No Derrick Henry, no problem
The best running back in the NFL, Derrick Henry, broke his foot last week, it is not known if he will return this year and it seemed that it would be the end for the Tennessee Titans, however, the team coached by Mike Vrabel visited the Los Angeles Rams, who for many, with the arrival of Von Miller, are the best team in the NFL.
To everyone’s surprise, the Titans not only won, they completely dominated the Rams and beat them 28-16 on Sunday Night Football.
4.- Josh Allen vs. Josh Allen
For the first time in the 101-year history of the NFL, a player with the same first and last name sacked, intercepted and recovered a fumble by his opponent.
Jaguars linebacker Josh Allen made life miserable for the Bills quarterback. If that wasn’t enough, Jacksonville beat Buffalo 9-6. Unbelievable!
3.- What happened to the Dallas Cowboys?
The Dallas Cowboys were coming off a six-game winning streak, the last one without Dak Prescott against the Minnesota Vikings and in Dak’s return from injury they hosted the Denver Broncos who were coming off a four-game losing streak.
Denver victory is surprising, but absolutely incredible is that they were up 30-0 in the fourth period. Did Dak have to sit another week?
2.- Aaron Rodgers, out for COVID-19
As a human being, Aaron Rodgers, just like any of us is at high risk of getting COVID-19, what was surprising was not that, what was surprising was the controversy created by the issue of the Green Bay Packers quarterback not being vaccinated.
Rodgers victimized himself, the NFL is investigating the case and whether or not there are violations to the protocols and, meanwhile, the Packers lost in Kansas City to the Chiefs and broke a streak of six wins in a row.
1.- The terrible tragedy generated by Henry Ruggs III
A week ago, Henry Ruggs III was a great promise for the Las Vegas Raiders, today, at 22 years old, his life has collapsed and, even worse, he ended the life of an innocent person, Tina Tintor, 23 years old.
Ruggs, with high levels of alcohol, crashed his pickup truck at 156 miles per hour into the back of Tintos vehicle at 3:40 local time last tuesday.
The former Alabama receiver was cut by the Raiders and his legal situation appears to be very complicated.
