If an Aaron Rodgers-led New York Jets team had defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, it might have been a mild surprise, but not a shock. The same goes for the Cleveland Browns against the San Francisco 49ers if DeShaun Watson and Nick Chubb took the field.
But with Zach Wilson and P.J. Walker under center for the Jets and Browns, respectively, it’s hard to imagine any NFL fan who expected those teams to pull upsets over the final two undefeated teams in the league. But somehow, that’s exactly what happened on Sunday — the 49ers missed a potential game-winning field goal in Cleveland and were held to just 17 points, while Jalen Hurts threw the Eagles’ win away with a bizarre late-game interception as the Jets completed a comeback.
