CNN —Week 10 of the NFL season was one full of drama, talking points and some big solo performances. QB plays like ‘best player on planet’ in historic gameThe Arizona Cardinals had a successful afternoon and that largely came thanks to the historic performance of their quarterback, Kyler Murray. He completed 22 out of 24 of his passing attempts, throwing for one touchdown and running for two more scores. Chris Coduto/Getty ImagesMurray also became the first player in NFL history to complete 85% of his passes with 250 passing yards and two rushing touchdowns. “I think the quarterback was the best player on the planet today,” Gannon said.

☆ New Saints coach predicted ‘crappy day’ after clogging toilet before game — then the opposite happened

It was an eventful day for New Orleans Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi on Sunday. A special teams coach in the NFL since 2009, Rizzi won in his debut as an NFL head coach. And in his first game, Rizzi led New Orleans to a 20-17 win, snapping a seven-game losing streak. That was enough for Allen, who was promoted to head coach from defensive coordinator in 2022, to lose his job. On Sunday, the Saints handed the Atlanta Falcons — who entered winners in five of their last six — their first road loss of the season.

☆ NFL midseason predictions for every team: Kirk Cousins wins comeback award; NFC East champ is …?

Our NFL writers addressed these topics and more in making one prediction for every team heading into the season’s second half. The fourth-year back is on pace to finish with 1,256 yards, which would be the fourth-highest total in team history. Every other NFL team has put a player in at least one of those categories during that stretch — and most teams have checked both boxes. Minnesota has one of the most productive defenses in the NFL and an offense loaded at the skill positions. And the Eagles have managed to win games despite bad luck and bad decisions.

☆ Pope Francis appears to accidentally bless the NFL's New Orleans Saints

Pope Francis seemed to inadvertently bless the New Orleans Saints — which couldn't come at a better time, as the NFL team just excommunicated their head coach. It comes as the New Orleans Saints fired head coach Dennis Allen on Monday after the team lost to the division rival Carolina Panthers on Sunday, making their seven straight defeat. “They just fired their head coach though, Pontif,” one X user wrote. One person quipped, “Yeah, those New Orleans Saints definitely could use some divine intervention.”Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave of the New Orleans Saints celebrate a touchdown during the second quarter at AT&T Stadium on September 15, 2024 in Arlington, Texas.

☆ Sean Payton delivered New Orleans its only Super Bowl. Now he returns as opposition.

The Game: Denver (3-3) at New Orleans (2-4)The Storyline: Denver coach Sean Payton returns to New Orleans for the first time since 2022, when he stepped down after 15 seasons as the Saints’ coach, a run that included the franchise’s only Super Bowl title. Payton has downplayed the effect the emotions of the visit will have on the game itself, as has Dennis Allen, the longtime Saints assistant who succeeded Payton. New Orleans has converted 47% of its third-down opportunities, the NFL’s third-highest rate, while the Broncos rank second worst at 25%. Saints rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler completed 22 of his 40 passes against Tampa Bay with a touchdown and two interceptions Sunday in his pro debut. That could spell trouble against a New Orleans defense with 10 interceptions, second most in the league.

☆ Tom Brady makes record 44th fourth-quarter comeback as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the New Orleans Saints
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-06 | by ( George Ramsay | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

CNN —When his team trails in the fourth quarter, Tom Brady is almost inevitable. Down 13 points against the New Orleans Saints in the closing minutes, Brady steered the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to an improbable 17-16 win on Monday Night Football. The win was extraordinary even by Brady’s standards, marking the largest regular-season fourth-quarter comeback in his career, according to ESPN. That brought Tampa Bay within six points before Brady orchestrated an 11-play, game-winning drive and found Rachaad White for the touchdown with three seconds remaining. New Orleans have a bye this weekend and next face the Atlanta Falcons on December 18, while Tampa Bay play the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
