Which teams, players, and coaches are deserving of the most acclaim—or criticism—after the weekend? These are our victors and vanquished:

Winner: The future of the Texans

Just about another week of NFL action is done, and boy, did Week 10 have plenty of drama. The 49ers made the Jaguars look foolish. In Minnesota, Joshua Dobbs repeated the action. And a field goal at the last second by the Browns surprised the Ravens.

This club was 3-13-1 a year ago, and Lovie Smith was in charge of the sidelines. These days, quarterback C.J. Stroud and head coach DeMeco Ryans steal the show. They both exude the calmness that comes with being a seasoned veteran of ten years, and it was evident as day in the crucial game against Joe Burrow and the Bengals, whom Houston survived to go to 5-4. This team will undoubtedly remain in the wild card competition, but it also seems like one of the most well-liked options for a leap forward beyond 2023.

Loser: Every member of the Patriots team.

Long-term and short-term trends indicate that Houston is rising, while New England is declining. The Patriots’ disastrous loss to the Colts was more obviously discouraging than anyone could have predicted, even though nobody had predicted that they would discover new life in Germany on Sunday morning.

for coach Bill Belichick and owner Robert Kraft, who might or might not be envisioning a future split. The weekly routine at QB—Mac Jones in one place, Bailey Zappe in another, no outcomes anywhere—has grown to be their depressing custom.

Resultant: Joshua Dobbs

Even with Jameis Winston taking over for an ailing Derek Carr, the Vikings gave the Saints plenty of chances to rally and win Week 10. However, they also amassed a 24-point advantage at the half, largely due to Dobbs’ persistent improvement. Now, the journeyman quarterback has led his team to consecutive victories with both arms and legs (although being without important weapons like Justin Jefferson). As the season progresses, don’t be shocked to see his shirt appear everywhere throughout U.S. Bank Stadium.

Loser: The standing of the Ravens.

Because of their superior point differential over the AFC, commentators have been praising Baltimore as maybe the greatest team in the NFL at the halfway point this week. Subsequently, the Ravens let slip another late lead to the opposing Browns, who had seemed set for a resounding victory thanks to an early pick-six. Lamar Jackson was not without flaws.

Although he did manage to throw a pick-six of his own, the larger worry is this team’s consistent incapacity to win crucial games; in the past three years alone, the Ravens have dropped nine games when leading by seven or more points.

Victor: Brock Purdy

Many publicly questioned whether Purdy’s incredible tenure as Kyle Shanahan’s incredibly productive gunslinger had already ended during the 49ers’ bye week. The team’s three-game losing streak was undoubtedly exacerbated by the second-year quarterback’s several poor crucial-point tosses. However, he completely recovered against the Jaguars, completing 73% of his throws for three touchdowns and zero interceptions.

What’s maybe more significant is that he performed incredibly well against the blitz, dispelling the myth that he can’t take pressure.

Loser: The poise of the Giants

It’s difficult to maintain composure when you’re behind 28 0 at the half or 42 7 after three. particularly when those kinds of outcomes are not unusual. So give the Giants a break. All people want to improve, but nobody knows how to get there. However, Sunday’s game versus the rival Cowboys wasn’t very nice, as they easily defeated their “rivals” once more. Again, Brian Daboll was at the heart of a “animated discussion,” and his players were having difficulty staying in sync while watching from the sidelines.

Dan Campbell became victorious.

A few weeks ago, the Lions were humiliated by the Ravens, ruining their fleeting attempt to be regarded as the NFC’s most evenly matched opponent. With their shootout victory over the Chargers on Sunday, they have restored that goodwill of the gathering. Jared Goff and company prevailed thanks to Campbell’s aggressive fourth-down plan and effective late-game management on a day when Justin Herbert threw four touchdowns to keep L.A. moving. Now 7-2 are the Detroit Lions!
