September 19th, 2021 was remembered for an all-time classic SNF game where Lamar Jackson’s electric plays and clutch conversions combined with a game-sealing forced fumble by rookie Odafe Oweh led Baltimore to an upset win over the Chiefs. Plenty of GW-FGA took place in Week 2 as the Titans and Cowboys Kickers clutched up while Vikings K Greg Joseph failed when it mattered most. Justin Fields got his first extended taste of NFL action and Eagles EDGE Brandon Graham unfortunately tore his Achilles.
