Joe Burrow Leads Stellar Second Half Comeback

Sunday, October 25, 4:38 PM

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was sluggish to begin the game as this offense was held to zero points in the first half of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Burrow locked in at halftime and put together an excellent second half. Overall, Burrow completed 22-of-30 passing attempts for 292 passing yards with four touchdowns and zero interceptions in the comeback win. The 29-year-old put together five straight scoring drives to help get his team a big Week 7 victory. Over his last two games, Burrow has thrown for eight touchdowns without any interceptions. He'll look to keep up this excellent play against the Tennessee Titans in Week 8.

J.J. McCarthy Faces Tough Test Against Texans

Friday, October 23, 6:28 PM

New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy was named the starter for their Week 7 matchup against the Houston Texans. After Jameis Winston struggled mightily in their 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints, McCarthy entered with 11:25 left in the fourth quarter and nearly led a historic comeback. The former first-round pick completed 11 of 21 passes for 243 yards, with one touchdown and one interception, and added 26 rushing yards. With the Saints playing soft coverage while holding a three-score lead, McCarthy diced them up, throwing for the most yards in a fourth quarter in franchise history. Now, he faces the treacherous Texans defense, which allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to a quarterback last season. While they've struggled to start this season, their elite pass rush and secondary make starting McCarthy extremely risky in Week 7.
