Tuesday Night Observations

Tuesday Night Observations

This article is part of our 2020 NFL Breakout Watch series.

These games were better than the Monday night ones, but that's a low bar to clear. 

  • Russell Wilson and DK Metcalf (12-6-52-0) just can't get on the same page. Jalen Ramsey was part of the problem, but of Metcalf's 12 targets only seven or eight even had a chance, and they were all short throws.
  • Rashaad Penny and DeeJay Dallas looked smooth as runners, even though Penny got stuffed for most of the second half.
  • Aside from one bizarre pick, Matthew Stafford played well despite being under pressure much of the game.
  • Sony Michel (18-92-0, 2-2-23-0) had another strong game, breaking tackles and fighting for extra yards. Darrell Henderson (6-23-0, 2-2-4-0) was an afterthought.
  • Cooper Kupp's (13-9-136-2) season for the ages continues. With three games left, he has a real shot at the all-time catch and yardage marks and is an MVP candidate.
  • The Garrett Gilbert Football Team had nothing. The only reason this game was even close was due to the Eagles' early turnovers.
  • Aside from the early fumble, Jalen Hurts had a good game, passing and running efficiently while accounting for three TDs.
  • Miles Sanders (18-131-0, 2-2-15-0) had massive holes through which to run and hit them quickly and decisively. Unfortunately, between Jordan Howard and Hurts, he won't have many chances to score.
  • Dallas Goedert (9-7-135-0) had two drops, one of which resulted in an interception off his heel, but showed he can produce with Hurts as well as Gardner Minshew.
  • Just as the 18-week season feels unduly long this year, so did Week 15.
