49ers@Falcons
Good running by both teams. The coaching of both Stefanski and Ulbrich have been very good and impressive, especially the latter. I’m glad the Niners lost.

Rams@Raiders
I’m really disappointed in the way the Raiders played–especially the extent to which the Rams offense dominated the Raiders defense, making it look really easy to move the ball.
The Raiders offense wasn’t much better. I’m really disappointed in the run game–particularly the run-blocking. Kubiak explained this partially because they were down by so much, but I don’t know if that’s a sufficient explanation. And the Rams were missing two interior DL and their starting MLB as well. Ugh.
Chiefs@Seahawks
I was extremely pessimistic about Fleury and the Seahawks offense. I thought Spags would own him, and the offense would continue to look dysfunctional. I wasn’t pleasantly surprised that was not the case. The offense may not have been great, but they did a really good job of extending drives–mainly because they were really good on 3rd down. (I’m not sure that is sustainable.)
The Seahawk defense dominated, and kind of exposed the Chiefs–specifically, their lack of good pass-catchers and some vulnerabilities on the OL.
If the Seahawk offense can perform this way from here on out, and the Niners lose more games, the Seahawks have a shot at making a deep playoff run. (Like last year, I think the teams are relatively weak. There doesn’t seem to be any/many great teams.)
Buccaneers@Panthers
The game is hazy now, but I recall CAR making some costly mistakes early, and the game snowballed out of their control. The other thing is that the Panthers struggled to stop the run, and the Bucs kept running it over and over again. I believe they have 30 carries by the end of the half, and they were giving if over and over to Bucky Irving as if he were Derrick Henry or Earl Campbell.
