THE FLATS — Another week down and true to form, the #ProJackets showed up in exciting ways for the NFL’s second week of action.
One of the top storylines of the week was Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller. During a Monday Night Football win over the Saints (34-23), Waller had one of the best MNF tight end performances on record. He hauled in 12 catches for 105 yards — averaging 8.8 yards per catch — including a touchdown reception.
