NFL: Notes & Numbers

By Tim Byrnes

Jacksonville (3-1) at San Francisco (3-1): Jaguars, 26-21

Quarterback Brock Purdy’s return didn’t help the Forty-niners, and Christian McCaffery’s 151 yards of total offense was wasted as five turnovers doomed San Francisco.

Travis Etienne Jr., the NFL’s third-leading rusher, ran for 124 yards and a touchdown to be the “productive Travis” while all-everything Travis Hunter struggled.

Hunter caught just three passes for 42 yards, fumbled, and was benched after nine plays on defense.

Monday Night:

Miami (1-3) at New York Jets (0-4): Dolphins, 27-21

In the battle of really bad teams, Miami managed to save coach Mike McDaniel’s job for another week, by overcoming injury and Jets quarterback Justin Fields.

Speedster Tyreek Hill ended his 2025 season with a gruesome knee dislocation in the third quarter.

Fields threw for 226 yards and a score and ran for 81 more and another touchdown to be a one-man highlight reel.
