RADIO.COM Sports expert picks: NFL Week 8

nfl

(RADIO.COM Sports) Week 7 of the NFL season proved to be the best week so far in this campaign.

On Thursday Night Football, Carson Wentz and the Eagles overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to come back and defeat the Giants, 22-21.


Despite losing Odell Beckham Jr. for the season, Baker Mayfield turned in a career effort, leading the Browns to a 37-34 victory over Joe Burrow and the in-state rival Bengals. Mayfield connected with rookie Donovan Peoples-Jones for the game-winning touchdown with just 11 seconds remaining in the game.

Around the same time Sunday afternoon, the Lions were gifted another drive thanks to Falcons running back Todd Gurley *accidentally* falling into the end zone with 1:04 remaining in the fourth quarter. Matthew Stafford and the Lions made the best of this chance, with tight end T.J. Hockenson hauling in an 11-yard game-winning touchdown pass as time expired.

To top it all off, the Seahawks surrendered a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter as well on Sunday Night Football, with Russell Wilson and company ultimately suffering their first loss of the season, at the hands of Kyler Murray and the Cardinals in overtime.

This doesn't even mention narrow victories by the Steelers and Saints, which were also part of a tremendous Week 7 slate.
