🎯 It’s been a shaky PL start in defense for TAA, but in passing he ranks:

🔺 1st – passes through the back line (97)
🔺 3rd – passes into final third (184)
🔺 5th – passes leading to shot (20)
🔺 7th – pressured passes

Is Southgate right not to include him for #ENGGER?

Overall, the #Packers rank just 18th for yards gained per pass completion, and Rodgers has 4 throw aways. Brady is 8-34 on +10 yard attempts, and 3-11 on +20 yard attempts for #Buccaneers.

Whether it’s Brady’s O-Line, or Rodgers’ receivers; these QBs have trust issues right now.

Tua ➡️ Tyreek

This deep middle 48-yard TD pass brought the #Dolphins within one score of the Ravens in Week 2. It’s currently the 2nd-most improbable completion (20.7% chance) so far in the #NFL.

#MiamiDolphins and #BuffaloBills both currently average 6.7 yards per play, tied (also with the Eagles and Chiefs) for 2nd in the #NFL after Week 2.

Buffalo just edges Miami in 1st downs (46-45) and drive-scoring rate (52.4%-47.4%).

Expect a high-scoring game. ⚡️

📉 The #Bengals rank 31st in yards per play (4.3) in the #NFL after two weeks. They dropped 10 spots in our Power Rankings.

Burrow may have been sacked 13 times so far, but the #Jets rank 28th for QB pressures (12). Bounce back for the Bengals?

Liverpool go top

In the Premier League, Liverpool jumped to the top of the Premier League after coming from behind to beat West Ham United 2-1.

Pablo Fornals gave the Hammers the lead after 10 minutes but Mohamed Salah equalised three minutes before half-time from the penalty spot after being fouled by Arthur Masauku in the area. It was Liverpool’s first shot on target in the game and Salah’s eighth league goal of the season.

Substitutes Diogo Jota and Xherdan Shaqiri combined for a late winner – scored by the Portuguese forward with five minutes remaining. Jota has scored in Liverpool’s last three league games.

It was West Ham’s first league defeat in five games, after playing against sides who finished in the top seven last season. They were without key forward Michail Antonio, who was injured.

Since David Moyes’ first game back in charge of West Ham in January, the London side have dropped more points from winning positions than any other side in the Premier League (16).
