We are virtually at the halfway stage of the 2019 NFL season, with Week 8 fast approaching.
The last week of NFL action saw Matthew Stafford become the first quarterback in NFL history to eclipse 40,000 passing yards in less than 150 games. Kirk Cousins, a much maligned figure three weeks ago, has recorded three consecutive games with at least 300 passing yards and a passer rating in excess of 135, making him the first quarterback in NFL history to achieve this feat. There are still two undefeated teams, one in each conference. The still-dominant defense of the New England Patriots has helped propel them to a 7-0 start, and the equally nasty defense of the San Francisco 49ers has their team at 6-0 for the first time since 1990.
