Recent NFL News – November 8th, 2022

The Monday night game will conclude Week 9. The New Orleans Saints will host the Baltimore Ravens. The Saints are small underdogs in the game at +1.5 with bet365 sportsbook. We had a look at this game and its injury report and concluded that the Saints were the team offering the value.

Josh Allen injury updates are pending

Josh Allen is questionable for Week 10 and there are updates expected on Tuesday or Wednesday. The Bills have a tough opponent for the week in the Minnesota Vikings. Allen is reportedly being evaluated for an elbow injury as well as related nerves, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.

Frank Reich fired

The Indianapolis Colts fired their coach on Monday. The move to let go of Frank Reich came after the team started 3-5-1 in the current NFL season.

Previously, the Colts had tried to move from Matt Ryan to Sam Ehlinger in the quarterback position. However, the team’s most recent loss to the New England Patriots seemed to be the tipping point for the franchise. The Colts could still try to chase down the 5-3 Tennessee Titans for the lead in the AFC South this season to make the playoffs.

Cordarelle Patterson was active in Week 9

The Atlanta Falcons reactivated Cordarelle Patterson from the injured reserve. The running back was among the league leaders in rushing yards before he suffered a setback that kept him off the field for about a month. In his return, Patterson carried 13 times for 44 yards but his Falcons fell by three points to the LA Chargers.

Michael Thomas is done for the season

Things were starting to look bright for the New Orleans Saints. They won last week, Andy Dalton played well, and the Saints were not out of the picture for their weak division.

However, New Orleans released some bad news on Thursday. Michael Thomas, a wide receiver with the team, has been put on the injured reserve and he won’t play again this season in all likelihood. The 29-year-old appeared in three games this season but none since September. Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reported the news of the injury, one that will require surgery.

Tua Tagovailoa leads the NFL in QBR and Passer Rating

Tua Tagovailoa, the quarterback for the Miami Dolphins, is back to playing excellent football again. The quarterback missed games due to concussion protocols and perhaps was not at his best in Week 7. However, Tagovailoa led the NFL in passing yards in Week 8. He threw for 382 yards for the Dolphins as they edged the Detroit Lions. No one intercepted Tagovailoa in the game and he had an amazing 138.7 passer rating.

In Week 9, he had 302 passing yards, a distinguished total on the week. Only Patrick Mahomes threw for more yards in the week (Monday night’s game is still pending). Tagovailoa has a QBR on the season of 79.9 and a passer rating of 115.9. Both marks are good enough for best in the NFL.
