Welcome to Week 10 Grades!
If you like drama, this might be your favorite week of the season. During the 4pm ET window, a total of 12 games have been played so far in Week 10 and seven of them have been decided by five or fewer points.
The drama began on Sunday in Germany as the Panthers picked up an overtime win over the Giants. Kansas City then added to the drama by pulling off one of the most improbable wins of the season for any team. The Chiefs blocked a 35-yard field goal attempt by the Broncos on the final play of the game to keep their unbeaten season alive with a 16-14 win.
If you’re wondering how rare it is to beat a blocked field goal from this close: This was the 108th possible game-tying/go-ahead attempt on a field goal from 35 yards or less in the final five seconds of the fourth quarter since 2000 and it was The only one that was banned.
The drama continued into Sunday night when the Lions mounted a stunning 16-point comeback to beat the Texans on a last-second field goal in a game in which Jared Goff threw five interceptions.
Let’s get to the grades for week 10, starting with the drama in Germany.
