The NFL had three big preseason games on friday night, with the Los Angeles Rams playing the Houston Texans, New England Patriots playing the Carolina Panthers and the Green Bay Packers playing the New Orleans Saints. Let’s break down my biggest takeaways from each game individually.
Los Angeles Rams vs Houston Texans
Both the Rams and Texans may have found late round gems on their teams with the Texans, standout wide receiver Nico Collins had some flashes of stardom in this game catching a nice sideline throw from QB Davis Mills and an additional touchdown. For the Rams they may have found a really good cornerback in Cobie Durant who had some key plays in the game with a sack, a tackle for loss, and a great deep throw break up.
New England Patriots vs Carolina Panthers
The Patriots offense is still struggling, with Mac Jones and the Patriots new offensive coordinators the offense had back to back three and outs and giving up sacks along the way. As for the Carolina Panthers the number 6 overall pick Ickey Ekwonu is also struggling against pass rushes thus far giving up back to back sacks on a Panthers second drive.
Green Bay Packers vs New Orleans Saints
As for the Green Bay Packers, backup QB Jordan Love continues to show his ups and downs as last week he really struggled against the 49ers but this week against the Saints Love cranked up the heat with no turnovers, a phenomenal throw in the end zone which was ruled incomplete due to the receiver being out of bounds, and finished 12-24 with a touchdown. As for the Saints, first round pick Chris Olave he had his first career touchdown with a nice sideline throw for a Olave toe tap.
