This week at Football Film Room…
Baker Mayfield is in Complete Command
Baker Mayfield has been playing smart, near-mistake-free football through the early part of this season. He’s also led the Buccaneers on last-minute game-winning scoring drives in each of their first 3 games, which has spearheaded Tampa’s 3-0 start.
The Football Film Room Show - Episode #5
In episode #5 of the Football Film Room Show, we compare the development (or lack thereof) of Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones in New York to that of C.J. Stroud in Houston. We also examine the Giants’ decision to start the Jaxson Dart era and discuss how Baker Mayfield is playing the quarterback position at an extremely high level.
Lions Use Dynamic "Duo" to Throttle Ravens
Running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery have been a dynamic duo for the Lions, and Monday night against the Ravens was no exception. The two combined for 218 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns on 34 carries (6.4 yards per rush), helping pave the way for a key early-season victory.
Through the Quarterback's Eyes: Aaron Rodgers
I don’t want to oversell Aaron Rodgers’ game-winning touchdown pass against New England on Sunday. This wasn’t a play where he did something so amazingly complex and high-level that no other quarterback could possibly do.
What's Wrong with the Texans Offense?
You know an offense is really bad when a team is 0-3 despite their defense allowing the 5th-fewest points in the NFL. That’s the case in Houston where the Texans Offense ranks 29th in yards and dead last in scoring.

This week’s featured concept is Duo:
Duo
Duo is a great running play. It’s versatile, so it can be run effectively out of different personnel packages and formations, and it works against a variety of fronts. It can also be used for different purposes from the offense’s perspective. Want to knock the defense off the ball and play a more physical brand of football? Call Duo. Want to provide a change of pace from your zone-running schemes? Call Duo. Want an answer for aggressive linebackers and blitzes inside? Better call Duo.
