Rap back where you at?

0:14.5

Yo, what's up?

0:16.6

It's Monday, October 27th.

0:18.9

I'm Jeff.

0:19.5

This is the rant.

0:25.5

Six teams on by this week. So we have one fewer game than what we've been dealing with here recently. So just 11 games to go through

0:30.5

with 11 stats that paint a picture of a really interesting week. There were very few close games.

0:36.0

I mean, maybe we could say that Chicago

0:37.6

Baltimore game was close, but kind of not really. So it was just Cincinnati and the Jets. And what a

0:43.0

barn burner that one was. But for the most part, a lot of beatdowns this week. Was it a separation

0:49.2

Sunday? Do we see who some of these teams really are? Maybe. Maybe just maybe. But anyway,

0:55.2

let's get into the stats. Let's figure out what this stuff means. And we're going to start with Miami and Atlanta,

0:58.9

a very surprising game. And it was surprising largely because of the play of Tuatunga Bai Loa.

1:04.7

My number is 2.37, which is the seconds to throw that Tuatunga Vailoa averaged in this game. It was his quickest of the season. He really wasn't throwing the ball downfield at all. He averaged 3.7 air yards per throw, but it didn't matter. And I guess maybe that's the idea. When you have a team that is built for yards after catch, like the Miami Dolphins, lean into it. You have Jalen Waddle. We know how fast

1:29.1

he is. And it feels like it's been a while since we've really seen it. Now we're seeing it.

1:35.0

You have other guys on this roster as well. Of course, Devon, A. Chan. Hey, Ali Gordon was out there

1:39.9

doing some stuff. Not that he's like a big yards after catch guy, but he had yards after catch on his

1:45.5

touchdown. So lean into this and maybe just maybe we're going to salvage some value here out of

1:51.0

Miami. Now, as far as Atlanta is concerned, I don't know who this team is. One week they look

1:55.7

amazing. The next week they look terrible and they've kind of been doing this routine all season long.

1:59.6

Now it hurts that Kirk Cousins was out there. I mean, allegedly, that was Kirk Cousins. That was the ghost of Kirk Cousins, maybe. It hurts the cause, but I think better days will be ahead for that roster. All right, let's move to the next game, which is that entertaining Jets, Cincinnati games, sorry, Bengals fans. And honestly, I could go to either side of this one.

2:19.8

There's so many numbers that are interesting.
