Courtland Sutton got a shout-out from Scott Van Pelt (clearly a fan — he had Sutton on-set last week), who said that Sutton had made three of the best touchdown catches of the NFL season.

And from his QB:

Courtland Sutton's leaping 15-yard touchdown catch with 1:03 remaining was the difference for Denver (5-5), which now owns the league's longest winning streak at four.

“This guy's been lights out,” Wilson said of Sutton, who outleapt cornerback Mekhi Blackmon for his eighth TD of the season. “He's one of the best in the game and I tried to put it on a place that only he could get it. And sure enough.

In what round will RJ Maryland go after next year? First or Second?

Wilson has thrown eight of his 16 red zone touchdown passes to Sutton this season. The SMU product has 99 yards on 11 catches inside opponents’ 20-yard line through 10 games.

I thought Proche was better than Rice coming out of college. I think he just got into a bad situation in Baltimore; whereas Rice fell into a great situation in KC.

Like you, I never really understood why Proche didn't have more of an opportunity to display his talents in Baltimore. He's a skilled punt returner but, in the NFL, it seems 75 % of the time the returners simply have to call for a fair catch.
And, I really wish teams would put two returners back there - they could provide a crucial initial block for their teammate and they would give their team a much better chance of recovering a muffed punt.

IMO- the chiefs really got a bargain when they drafted RR.

Love hearing about Rashee and Courtland, but let's have some cheers for Brandon Stephens. starting CB for the Ravens. Watched the game last night and many good things were said about his play. Proud to hear him say "SMU" in the intros.
