The regular season action continues and we are officially heading into the first half of the championship. With this, a large number of teams still have Super Bowl LIX in their sights, but many others are gradually beginning to be left behind in the race. However, there are always good points to highlight about practically any franchise. Therefore, First and Ten has for you the winners of Week 8 of the 2024 NFL Season.
Winners of Week 8 of the 2024 NFL Season
1. QB Jameis Winston, Cleveland Browns
It was known: the Browns were always one Deshaun Watson’s absence away from seeing themselves again, not only competitive, but as a team that can beat anyone, and they showed it this Sunday by breaking the Ravens’ five-game winning streak in a date where QB Jameis Winston completed 27 of 41 passes for 334 yards, 3 TDs and 0 INTs, numbers that Watson never matched this season. With the help of Winston, Cleveland can dream of putting together a season in which for now they still have a poor record of 2-6.
2. QB Jacoby Brissett, New England Patriots
With QB Drake Maye out of the game early against the Jets with a concussion, QB Jacoby Brissett again saw playing time and completed 15 of 24 passes for 132 yards, 0 TDs and 0 INTs; Yes, the line is not surprising, but it did what was necessary, relying mainly on RB Rhamondre Stevenson, to achieve the second victory of the year for the Patriots, and what better to know than a divisional duel against the Jets of QB Aaron Rodgers. In a 2024 where little was expected from New England and a lot from New York, in the end both teams are 2-6.
3. WR Puka Nacua, Los Angeles Rams
Stop everything in Los Angeles, and although they are still last in the NFC West with a 3-4 record, they are only half a game away from the division lead. The above is no coincidence, WR Puka Nacua was activated from Injured Reserve and the Rams are different when he is on the field. In Thursday night’s win against the Vikings, Nacua caught a total of seven passes for 106 yards, once again proving to be best friends with QB Matthew Stafford, and that 2024 can continue him at the same stellar pace he left the season on. pass.

4. QB Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals
At what point should Arizona start to be seen as a good team? Although they are far from being taken into account as contenders for the title, they once again showed their brave version and stole the last-second 28-27 victory from the Dolphins in Miami. In the event, QB Kyler Murray completed 26 of 36 passes for 307 yards, 2 TDs and 0 INTs, while TE Trey McBride had his best game of the year with nine receptions for 124 yards; The Cardinals, at the moment, at 4-4, have the same record as the 49ers and Seahawks in the NFC West, be careful.
5. QB Kirk Cousins, Atlanta Falcons
This is how the Falcons project their offense to look each week, emerging victoriously from offensive shootouts proposed by rivals: In a 31-26 win against the Buccaneers, QB Kirk Cousins was surgical, completing 23 of 29 passes for 276 yards , 4 TD and 0 INT. With this, Atlanta beats Tampa Bay for the second time this year, with Cousins throwing 8 TDs vs. 1 INT between the two dates. Without a doubt, having this tiebreaker in your favor could end up being the difference at the end of the year to define this season’s NFC South champion.
6. Lions special teams
The Lions crushed the Titans 14-52 with Jared Goff throwing 3 TDs and 0 INTs, but the funny thing is that he only had 85 passing yards, and that’s because of how splendid Detroit’s special teams played: WR Kalif Raymond returned a kickoff 90 yards to the end zone and in five returns he accumulated 190 yards. Likewise, CB Khalil Dorsey had a 72-yard punt return; Between them, they left the Lions’ offense in unbeatable positions, who did not waste a single opportunity to humiliate Tennessee.
