NFL Week 10 2018 is now in the books, so it’s time for your boy “Big Natural” Stoney Keeley to take a look back and sort out the best, or most hilarious, moments from the week that was.
Best of NFL Week 10 2018
To say this was a wild week in the NFL would be….well….I don’t think it was actually unusually zany. It was appropriately labeled unpredictable. Just….just give me a break, I’m trying to sell newspapers here. Let’s hit the highlights.
Your current stat leaders are:
- Passing Yards: Patrick Mahomes (3,150)
- Passing TDs: Patrick Mahomes (31)
- Rushing Yards: Todd Gurley (988)
- Rushing TDs: Todd Gurley (13)
- Receiving Yards: Julio Jones (1,040)
- Receiving TDs: Antonio Brown (10)
- Sacks: Aaron Donald (12.5)
- Interceptions: Damontae Kazee (5)
The AFC is wide fucking open
The Steelers absolutely rocked the Panthers to kick off Week 10. Then, you had my Titans absolutely rocking the Patriots. The Chiefs did Chiefs things. The Chargers won big. I mean, at this point, who’s the favorite? I’m assuming it’s still the Chiefs, but would anyone be surprised to see any of the Chiefs, Steelers, Patriots, Chargers, or Texans win the AFC the way they’re all playing? Hell, what about the Titans who are finding their groove? The Colts are surging, and I still thinks the Bengals and Dolphins are largely underrated in the AFC race.
Point is, this is going to be one hell of a race to close the season – I can’t wait to see the Chiefs and Chargers again. That game could ultimately decide home field advantage in the AFC.
The Saints are the best team in the NFL
Did I have this heading last week? I might have had this heading last week. What a shame that there is absolutely no way on Earth for me to check that.
Regardless, if it wasn’t clear when they beat the Rams last week, it should be crystal fucking clear this week. The Saints of New Orleans are clearly the best team in the NFL.
Considering the Saints were my preseason pick to win the Super Bowl, I will use this opportunity to take a quick “through 10 weeks” victory lap.
But, all nonsense aside, this is a complete team with the best running back duo in the league running down people’s throats. The defense has played better. Michael Thomas has solidified himself as one of the top receivers in the NFL. But, perhaps most importantly, they have Drew Brees making a strong case for MVP (there you go, Mose – I’m coming around).
Panthers lay a dud
Yeahhhhhh, maybe I should back off that Super Bowl talk. The Steelers wrecked the Panthers on Thursday night football. I don’t think you can call a team a dark horse Super Bowl contender when they’re getting bent over like that.
Plus, you had players falling asleep on the sideline:

Baker Mayfield is dangerous
The Browns get a sexy win behind a man who is pure sex. Ladies and gentlemen, Baker Mayfield is a bad, bad man.

Trubisky BDE
Are the Bears the third best team in the NFC? ‘Cause it kinda looks like the Bears are the third best team in the NFC. I would love to see how this team stacks up against the Rams and the Saints, but for now, they are absolutely exceeding expectations behind their second year quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, who played with tremendous BDE against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Trubisky went 23/30 for a career-high 355 yards and three touchdowns with another score on the ground. He and Matt Nagy appear to be a match made in heaven and I am a fool for criticizing this pick last spring. There….I said it.
Zeke got his taint grazed

ZEKE! WUT IS YOU DOING?!?!? You can leapfrog guys all you want, but brother you gotta learn how to protect the goods. That could’ve ended with a bowling ball sized helmet colliding with your giblets. Think about the future – luckily he came away from this leap with nothing but a slightly grazed taint. Best case scenario for a move like this.
