The Broncos as well as Giants sandwiched the Cowboys 'original pick in April's draft, with the Broncos swiping CB Patrick Surtain rather than taking a QB and also the Cowboys spoiling the Giants strategies of taking Smith by trading the pick to the Eagles. In this game, the Broncos rushing attack did the trick as Melvin Gordon ratted off a late 70-yard rating to

place an already-decided game on ice. He competed 110 lawns on the video game while star RB Saquon Barkley handled 10 brings and 26 lawns in his return from injury. QB Daniel Jones once again transformed the sphere over on a fumble at a critical time, trailing by 10 in the third quarter yet coming close to the Broncos 'goal line in an effort to keep the game close.

Los Angeles Chargers 20, Washington Football Group 16

The biggest story out of this video game, in addition to FedEx Area crumbling and also leaking (ideally) water on their crowd was the loss of QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. WFT fans wished that the journeyman QB would be the response to their QB issues, however a hip injury brought Taylor Heinecke right into the video game.

The competition had not been as close as the final rating as the Chargers bled the fourth-quarter clock and then knelt three times to end the video game. Justin Herbert threw for 337 backyards versus the vaunted Ron Rivera defense that was aided by a terrible call when an insufficient pass was ruled a fumble out the end area inside Washington's red zone. The run defense was tough for WFT, yet the pass protection was shredded.
