This weekend in the NFL, everywhere you looked there were LSU Tigers making massive plays to impact the game. LSU Tigers had arguably their best weekend as a collective in the NFL and they did it all while Justin Jefferson plays on Monday Night Football.

Derek Stingley Jr had an incredible game finishing with two interceptions, 5 tackles, and a pair of pass deflections. Stingley not only looks like an All-Pro but, there isn't a cornerback playing better than him this season.

Danielle Hunter continues to be one of the most dominant edge rushers in the NFL recording 1.5 sacks on Sunday bringing his season total to 10.5 which ranks 4th in the NFL.

While Malik Nabers has dealt with nothing but, QB changes as he's onto his 4th quarterback, he continues to shine. On Sunday, Nabers added another 82 yards and a touchdown to his season totals on 10 catches. On the season, Nabers is up to 90 catches for 901 yards and 4 touchdowns, considering that Malik Nabers missed a few games, and his quarterbacks have been Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, Tommy DeVito, and Tim Boyle that's an incredible line.

As the Jets continue to deal with injuries on the back end, veteran Jalen Mills got his opportunity to play more and he rewarded the Jets with four tackles and an interception helping the Jets beat the Jaguars.

On the other side of the matchup, Brian Thomas Jr continues his impressive rookie season catching 10 passes for 105 yards and a pair of touchdowns. While Thomas hasn't played with Trevor Lawrence all season, Thomas is just 44 yards away from crossing the 1,000 yard mark in his rookie season.

Jayden Daniels continues his incredible rookie season marching towards the Rookie of the Year Award and a Playoff birth. Daniels completed 25 of 31 passing attempts for 226 yards and a pair of touchdowns while rushing for 66 yards.

On the other side of the matchup, Foster Moreau caught two passes for 39 yards and a touchdown that almost helped the Saints in pulling off the comeback but, they couldn't convert the two point conversion. The Honey Badger Tyrann Mathieu finished the game with 6 tackles for the Saints.

The Cincinatti Bengals kept their playoff hopes alive behind a massive game from the Bengals offense. Burrow completed 26 of 37 passes for 271 yards and 3 touchdowns but, he did throw two interceptions. Ja'Marr Chase shockingly didn't catch one of those touchdowns but, he caught 9 passes for 94 yards.

While the Steelers lost to the Eagles, Patrick Queen continues to play like a top 5 linebacker in the league racking 11 tackles and a quarterback hit.

While all of these LSU Tigers put up massive performances, the best may be yet to come as Justin Jefferson will play on Monday Night Football.
