Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins flirted with a 0.0 quarterback rating for much of Sunday’s 28-11 loss to the Colts before finishing the afternoon with a slightly more robust 15.9 mark. That’s an easy shorthand to know that Sunday’s outing was a frightful one for Cousins and the rest of the Vikings Offense. They managed 175 […]
Justin Herbert didn’t have much time to prepare for his first NFL start. The rookie quarterback found out just before kickoff that he’d be taking the field because Tyrod Taylor was having chest pains that would require him to go to the hospital for further evaluation. Head coach Anthony Lynn said Herbert thought he was […]
Despite a hot start to the game, there were moments when Jared Goff couldn’t find anyone to celebrate with. His teammates just didn’t want to jinx it.

The most famous game between the Patriots and the Seahawks was decided by a play from the 1-yard-line as time expired and so was Sunday night’s game between the teams. After cutting the Seahawks lead to 35-30, the Patriots forced a punt and then drove the ball 80 yards to set up a chance for […]

After Brady bounced back to beat the Panthers, Arians said he was impressed. “I think he has a pretty good history of […]
The Eagles have given up 64 points over the last six quarters while blowing a lead to Washington and getting beaten 37-19 by the Rams, so one would imagine that the fanbase in Philly is in crisis mode.

The Cowboys pulled off a stirring comeback against the Falcons on Sunday by scoring 16 points in the final five minutes of what turned out to be a 40-39 win. Recovering an onside kick was crucial to that process and the Cowboys did that by employing what’s known as the Watermelon Kick. Quarterback Dak Prescott […]
It was impressive enough for Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker to hit a game-winning field goal in overtime. To hit it three times was almost overkill.

Even though his players stood there stunned, as if they didn’t know what to do with the oddly spinning onside kick, Falcons coach Dan Quinn said they do, in fact, understand the rules that allowed them to recover it. That may actually make it worse. Via Stephen Hawkins of the Associated Press, Quinn said the […]

Russell Wilson is certainly cooking. And no one from the Seahawks is going hungry. The Seahawks held on for a 35-30 win over the Patriots, thanks to their quarterback putting in a classic performance and a timely defensive stop. Wilson threw for 288 yards and five touchdowns — to five different receivers — to keep […]
Russell Wilson‘s best receiving threat has been locked in an all-night fight with the reigning defensive player of the year. So he went the other way for a big play. Wilson just hit David Moore for a 38-yard touchdown pass to give the Seahawks a 21-17 lead on the Patriots in the third quarter. The […]
Tyreek Hill‘s helmet came off after the Chiefs receiver somersaulted into the end zone for a 54-yard touchdown with 12:48 remaining in the fourth quarter. The question is: Did he do it in celebration? Taking off a helmet in the field of play is unsportsmanlike conduct and should result in a 15-yard penalty. Officials did […]
The Chargers added Tyrod Taylor to the injury report Friday with an injury to his ribs. But the team’s quarterback was a full participant, and the Chargers expected him to play. Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said he found out after the coin toss that Taylor would not play. “It was something that developed late, and […]
The Packers have started 2-0 this year, after rollling up 43 points on the Vikings and another 42 against the Lions.

He explained that the team knows the offense […]
The Seahawks will be short in the secondary the rest of the night. Safety Quandre Diggs was just ejected for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Patriots wideout N'Keal Harry. Diggs led with his head into a defenseless Harry, and after a number of flags and brief huddle, the ejection was announced. Harry was able to get […]
On Monday, the league made clear its expectation that all coaches and sideline personnel will wear their masks over their mouths and noses at all times.
