The Commanders drew within two points of the Eagles on a Stefon Diggs touchdown with 9:59 left to play on Sunday, but any thoughts of tying the game went away seconds after the wideout entered the end zone. Diggs kept going and jumped up to wrap himself around the goalpost, which drew a penalty for […]

The Cleveland Browns didn’t get off to the best start to the Todd Monken era. Deshaun Watson struggled all day in a 34-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars that was even more lopsided than the final score suggests. Watson got things going early by throwing a pick on his team’s opening drive, and things pretty much […]

It didn’t take two full quarters for Cleveland Browns fans to turn on starting quarterback Deshaun Watson. Browns fans didn’t hold back their disdain for Watson’s performance in the first half of Sunday’s season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, with many of them calling for second-year signal-caller Shedeur Sanders to replace him: The Browns entered […]

Sam Darnold exited the Seahawks’ Week 1 game early and did not return.

Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski says starting quarterback Cooper Rush’s job today is simple: Put the ball in the hands of the Falcons’ playmakers, particularly running back Bijan Robinson. Stefanski told Sal Paolantonio of ESPN that was his message to Rush, and Stefanski added that he’s personally excited to see Robinson in the flesh for […]

The Atlanta Falcons named Tua Tagovailoa the Week 1 starting quarterback last Monday. Fast forward a few days and he was ruled out with an injury suffered in practice, making Cooper Rush the new starter. Tagovailoa struggled throughout the summer, and Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski notably waited until the last possible moment to name […]

Tennessee (2-0, Previous Rank: 18) Week 2 Result: WIN at Georgia Tech (45-24)Next Week: vs. Kennesaw State True freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon (10-of-21, 148 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT) didn’t have the most efficient game under center, but he protected the football, and DeSean Bishop (20 carries, 147 yards, 2 TD) led the way […]

The matter of a Lamar Jackson extension has been a talking point throughout the Ravens’ offseason. Efforts to work out another big-money deal were made, but at no point did it seem as though an agreement was imminent. Jackson will not have an extension in hand for tomorrow’s Week 1 game, as first reported by Jonathan Jones […]

On Sunday, Kyler Murray will make his first start for the Vikings. And he’ll be the ninth quarterback to start a game for the Vikings since 2023. Via NBC Sports research, that’s tied for the most in the NFL during that stretch, with (not surprisingly) the Browns. (Cleveland has had 42 starters since returning to […]

One of the surprise teams in the NFL last season was the Jacksonville Jaguars. In their first season with head coach Liam Coen, the Jaguars posted a 13-4 record, winning the AFC South and hosting a home playoff game. A focal point of the Jacksonville offense headed into the 2026 season is expected to be […]

Lamar Jackson won’t sign a last-minute contract extension with the Baltimore Ravens before the team’s 2026 season begins on Sunday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Jackson has been “reluctant” to negotiate a long-term extension “for whatever reason” despite the Ravens being willing to make him the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL, per Schefter. Jackson is […]

The Atlanta Falcons are having a shocking start to the 2026 season before even playing a game. Specifically, the quarterback position is already in a state of disarray. Michael Penix Jr. remains out as he continues to recover from an ACL injury. That led to Tua Tagovailoa to be named the starter, only for him […]

I said it this week on PFT Live. And I’ll say it again now. Anyone who supports the Protect College Sports Act opposes player rights. Those who are speaking out in support of the bill won’t admit it. We’ll do it for them. Under the guise of ending chaos tracing to decades of antitrust violations […]

Cornerback Joey Porter Jr. was reportedly the Steelers’ No. 1 extension priority in April, but he remains without a new contract five months later. Meanwhile, teammates and fellow 2023 draftees Keeanu Benton, Darnell Washington and Nick Herbig all received big-money extensions in recent months. As a rule, the Steelers do not negotiate contracts during the […]

The Bears have still never had a quarterback with 4,000 passing yards in a single season. They also have had only one quarterback with multiple passing touchdowns in eight straight games. By Sunday evening, they could have two. Via NBC Sports research, Caleb Williams is one game from tying Sid Luckman for the franchise record […]

The Atlanta Falcons confirmed some expected news on Friday when they announced that veteran backup Cooper Rush will be the team’s starting quarterback over first-choice option Tua Tagovailoa for this coming Sunday’s Week 1 game at the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tagovailoa suffered a reported oblique injury on Thursday, which led to Rush taking all of the first-team […]

Sunday’s game between the Buccaneers and Bengals has an intriguing subplot. Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield has never lost to Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow. Mayfield is 3-0 against Burrow as a starter. All three matchups happened in 2020 and 2021, when Mayfield played for the Browns. And, yes, Mayfield faced Burrow in 2022, when Mayfield […]

The Chargers entered free agency with nearly $100MM in cap space, but the team revealed a conservative free agency blueprint will be the norm this year. After low-cost outside investments populated the first two Charger payrolls under Jim Harbaugh and GM Joe Hortiz, the organization did not bolster its roster with splashy outside additions. Instead, […]

The NFL has suspended free agent linebacker Xavier Thomas for the first three weeks of the season, according to the league’s personnel notice. It is unclear why the NFL suspended Thomas.

The Las Vegas Raiders got some tough injury news about star tight end Brock Bowers ahead of their Week 1 clash against the Miami Dolphins.

Brown will now miss at least New England’s next four contests (against the Steelers, Jaguars, Bills and Raiders) as a result of today’s news. The […]
