THIS IS MY 70TH ARTICLE!! I’m in a massive time crunch right now so no introductory paragraph. I got a show to do in literally 42 minutes. “Two Possession Game” on Spotify, SoundCloud and Apple Music by the way. Let’s get into it.

1. Jonathan Taylor is having himself a year
821 rushing yards and nine total touchdowns in nine games. Taylor has clearly been the focal point of this Colt’s offense and rightfully so, as in each of their four wins this year he has had a substantial role. Last game against the Jets he had 19 carries for 172 yards and two touchdowns. He’s been an absolute dog ever since his Wisconsin Badger days, I had him as my RB1 in last years draft and it’s looking like he might be creeping his way in to the top 10 running backs discussions very soon.
2. Josh Allen Day
This was a very telling game for Josh Allen. I mean, he struggled against Josh Allen and had a lot of trouble taking care of the ball. Josh Allen went after Josh Allen and was making some big plays to try and bring his team the upset win. Josh Allen went out there and got it done for his team, just like Josh Allen has done many times in the past. Honestly, in my Josh Allen power rankings, Josh Allen has surpassed Josh Allen. Just my humble opinion though.
3. Lamar Jackson is just here to remind you, that he is… THAT GUY
This man is undefeated against the NFC as a starter. That is a weird but very cool stat. Here’s another stat. Lamar Jackson is the first player ever in an eight game span to have over 2,000 passing yards and 600 rushing yards. The Ravens were down 24-10 in the third quarter, only to turn it around and win 34-31 in overtime. Lamar had three passing touchdowns for 266 yards and ran the ball for 121 yards and 20 carries. I really hope he can get a ring one day. He deserves that and a big extension this offseason.
4. Sam Darnold’s time as an NFL starter may be coming to an end
Darnold had yet another shocking performance against the Patriots throwing for zero touchdowns and three interceptions. He has been ruled out for four to six weeks with a shoulder injury. And to add insult to that injury, the Panthers signed former MVP Cam Newton this morning with plans to have him as the starting quarterback. Sam seems like a great guy, but this seems to be the ending credits to his NFL career.
5. Stop these taunting penalties
It’s ruining the game. This is supposed to be a fun game of emotion and fiery personalities. These new taunting rules take that away. Please for the love of God somebody fix this.
Like I said before, major time crunch. I now have a show in 20 minutes. “Expensive Pain” album review and “Songs I’m Listening To” articles coming soon. Just a lot to fit in during these last weeks of the semester. Hope everyone is doing well. Y’all know the drill. This is YSN, until next time, signing out.
