  • Oct. 11, 2009: Denver (and Josh McDaniels) 20, New England 17.
  • Sept. 23, 2018: Detroit (and Matt Patricia) 26, New England 10.
  • Nov. 11, 2018: Tennessee (and Mike Vrabel) 34, New England 10.

There isn’t a better team than New Orleans right now. This is easily the Saints’ best team since the 2009 Super Bowl champion. That year, the Saints won their first 13 games and scored 35 or more points in seven of them. This year, the Saints have won eight of their first nine and eclipsed 35 points five times. Stunningly, Drew Brees seems significantly better. Think how great Brees was in the Saints’ Super Bowl run. This year, he’s 7 percent more accurate, has a passer rating 14 points higher, and with seven games left might be in the driver’s seat for his first MVP award. I think he’s got a better back, Alvin Kamara, than he had in 2009, and a better and more explosive receiver in Mike Thomas than the Saints had in 2009. Plus, the marriage between Brees and Sean Payton is so strong. Payton knows what to call. Brees knows what to ask for during the week. As Tom Brady and Josh McDaniels can finish each other’s sentences, so too can Brees anticipate Payton’s play calls and moods.

 -WHERE WILL RAMS --CHEIFS BE PLAYED? 

 There’s significant worry about the playing surface at Azteca Stadium, a multi-use combined grass-and-synthetic surface used for soccer and concerts mostly, made soupy by heavy rains in this year’s rainy season. Recent photos of the pitch look awful. The NFL will mobilize there today and tomorrow to see if surgery will be needed on the field before the game.

 LEVAN BELL
teelers running back Le’Veon Bell must report to the team by Tuesday at 4 p.m. to ensure he gets a credited year of service, which would enable him to be a free agent in March at age 27. As Adam Schefter reported Saturday night, Bell is not expected to report, meaning he would not play football at all in 2018 and would head into free agency in March hoping to make up the $14.5 million he lost by not playing under the franchise tag in 2018.

DON'T AGREE W PETER


Goat of the Week

Eagles fans, Philadelphia. For booing the Eagles off the field at halftime in Week 10. It hasn’t been the season you’d want in Philly. And you’re losing to the Cowboys, toothlessly, 13-3. But booing the crap out of the team that delivered a stirring Super Bowl win nine months ago? Bush league.

Discussions continue about whether Monday night’s Chiefs-Rams game will be played in Mexico City, LA or postponed, per sources. NFL determined to play it Monday night in Mexico City, but the field is “a mess” and might not be safe for players. It’s a significant concern.

49ERS:

THE GAME:

-for the 49ers it was another loss — there have been six since Kyle Shanahan took over last year — in which they blew a second-half lead. Breida’s second touchdown of the game, an 11-yard pass from Mullens, had given them a 20-10 advantage early in the third quarter.

-It also was another game in which the 49ers suffered a critical bust in coverage — on Beckham’s 20-yard touchdown in the third quarter — and one in which they lost the turnover battle, this time 2-0.

 -The 49ers knew the Giants would target Beckham on Monday and they did — throwing to him 11 times and only completing four passes.
Two of them, however, were for touchdowns, the first coming in the opening quarter when the 49ers were in a zone defense.
Beckham lined up all over the field, sometimes on the left side of the 49ers defense opposite Sherman, sometimes on the right against Witherspoon and at other times in the slot.
One of his completions — for 13 yards — came with Sherman in coverage. The rest were to the other side of the field. Manning also badly under-threw a deep pass to Beckham in which the receiver had two strides on Witherspoon early in the third quarter.

-It was a coverage bust,” veteran cornerback Richard Sherman said. “He played it like he was supposed to play it. It was a good call, it should have been a good play and in two-man you have to play it like he played it. When you play two-man, you play two-man and he played two-man. It was unfortunate the way the call came in and we didn’t get the right guys on the field and it was just kind of a cluster.”
But Sherman’s support for the young cornerback ended there. Both he and Shanahan admonished Witherspoon, who had been benched earlier in the season, for being so demonstrative after the play.
“You shouldn’t ever do that,” Sherman said. “That is like a cardinal rule in football.”
Said Shanahan when asked if he was OK with such an emotional reaction: “No, I am not. No. Man up. Don’t put that on tape. We’ll deal with it when we come in.”

Manning’s white jersey stays conspicuously clean

It turns out the 49ers’ eight-sack effort against the Raiders was a mirage, an aberration.
On Monday, they reverted to the squad that has had a hard time putting pressure on the quarterback as they sacked Manning only once and hit him a total of four times.
Manning didn’t have a prolific outing. He finished with 188 yards on 31 attempts. But he threw three touchdowns, including the game-winner with just under a minute to play, and finished with a 110.7 passer rating. His white jersey looked pristine at game’s end.
One of the keys for the Giants is that they didn’t put themselves in a lot of third-and-long scenarios, the situation that was so favorable for the 49ers in Week 9 against Derek Carr and the Raiders.
Instead, the Giants mostly had solid gains on first and second downs and did a good job of protecting Manning. He entered the game having been sacked 31 times, the third-most sacks allowed in the NFL through Week 9.

Giants catch on to Kittle

Kittle led all pass catchers Monday with nine receptions for 83 yards. But he had only 17 yards after halftime and none after the Giants started their comeback midway through the third quarter.
“They started cutting crosses, bunching me up, because I like crossing routes because I get open a lot,” Kittle said.
He later explained what that meant: The Giants essentially brought one of their safeties down closer to the line of scrimmage to head off the crossing routes that were so effective for Kittle in the first half. His nine receptions were a career-high and his 775 receiving yards rank third among NFL tight ends this year.
His longest catch in the second half, a 14-yard gain on third-and-12, was wiped out when he was called for offensive pass interference. The 49ers had to punt two plays later.
“You’ll can ask Coach Shanahan that,” Kittle said of the play. “I was trying to get open.”

-espite the injury, Breida has managed to be one of the most explosive parts of the 49ers’ offense. On Monday, he had three plays of 19 yards or more, scored his team’s only touchdowns and averaged 5.9 yards a carry. The far more heralded Barkley, who was the No. 2 overall pick in the recent draft, averaged 3.4 yards a run.
“Matt’s just as hard-nosed and as tough of a competitor as you can get,” tackle Mike McGlinchey said. “He runs so hard. He makes it a lot of fun to block for him. He’s a great leader on this football team, and you don’t expect anything less than that from Matt Breida to give you everything he’s got. He’ll do that if he’s on one leg. He’s that kind of a guy. He’s been awesome all year.”

Josh Dubow (@JoshDubowAP)
There are 139 times 2 teams have played in same market in same year in same pro football league. #49ers and #Raiders on pace to set record for futility. Combined .158 winning % is lowest ever, falling below .208 for Chicago Bears and Cards in 1953.

Shaun Livingston on the heated team huddle after regulation: "Obviously, Dray had the turnover. Guys might have thought they were open or wanted the basketball, didn't get it. Things happen like that in sports, but it was good to see some fire, some emotion."

-DRAYMOND - DURANT --TIFT OVER NO PASS AT END OF GAME---STUFF HAPPENS ---PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE FOR DURANT TO WANT TO LEAVE AND PLAY IT UP....

1) Marv should be the lead guy until HE decides he doesn't want to do it anymore. I don't care if he makes 500 mistakes a game.

2) It is a complete disgrace that Turner would bypass Kevin Harlan to replace Marv. twitter.com/AndrewMarchand…

Brett Brown has been walking a tightrope when it comes to balancing what’s best for Markelle Fultz and the Sixers. Jimmy Butler’s arrival makes doing so even more difficult. “Somewhere in that pyramid of layers,” Brown said, “I’ve got to figure it out.” espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

#Saints WR Michael Thomas was fined $30,000 for his Joe Horn-esque use of a cell phone as a prop after his touchdown, I’m told. The infractions were for using the phone as a prop and having a mobile device in the bench area.
