Caleb Williams (QB - CHI)

Caleb Williams and Anthony Richardson hoping to find their footing as Colts and Bears square off. INDIANAPOLIS — Caleb Williams and Anthony Richardson find themselves in similar predicaments. Both left college early carrying the label of strong-armed quarterbacks, capable of making big plays with their feet. Both were drafted by teams seeking long-term stability at a position that had become a revolving door. Now, both are trying to show they can match the hype by becoming the faces of their respective franchises. Two games into this season, though, both are already hearing the critics complain about low completion percentages, missed throws and blown opportunities. So Sunday, when Williams and the Chicago Bears visit Richardson and the Indianapolis Colts, both will have another chance to

Chiefs' Andy Reid offers bleak update on Isiah Pacheco's return after surgery. The Kansas City Chiefs might be without star running back Isiah Pacheco for the foreseeable future. Head coach Andy Reid offered a less-than-ideal update on the third-year player Wednesday, telling reporters Pacheco underwent surgery days after he broke a fibula in the closing minutes of the Chiefs' 26-25 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Reid's update follows reports Pacheco did not have any ligament issues. Pacheco, part of the Chiefs' back-to-back Super Bowl championship teams, ran for 45 yards and a touchdown in their season-opening win over Baltimore, and he had 90 yards rushing and a score before leaving Sunday's game.

The two have been a dynamic duo ever since Mahomes became the starter in 2018. Kelce, to be fair, was doing well before that. "They just have a unique connection," Falcons safety Justin Simmons said.

A large part of Minnesota's early success has been its defense, which is led by defensive coordinator and former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores. Texans coach DeMeco Ryans knows that Flores is one of the best defensive minds in the NFL and that it will be a challenge to face off against the unit.

"They had a good connection last year obviously – and getting that going and the easy completions there," head coach Shane Steichen said.

Why Colts fans must not be concerned after Anthony Richardson's dud vs. Packers. The Indianapolis Colts haven't gotten off to a great start in the 2024 campaign, as they suffered losses in their first two games of the season against the Houston Texans and Green Bay Packers. While the Colts were solid in Week 1 against the Texans, the same can't be said about their Week 2 loss to the Packers, and that's largely due to the play of Anthony Richardson under center. Richardson did not have a good day for Indy (17/34, 204 YDS, 1 TD, 3 INT, 4 CAR, 37 YDS), and while they were in this game until the end, it was pretty disappointing to see them be unable to beat a Packers team that was without star quarterback Jordan Love.

Sean Payton’s stumbling Broncos would be innovative ... if it was still 2013.
The head coach was supposed to bring a wave of fresh thinking to Denver. But he is losing games and confusing his young quarterback
It was only last season that Sean Payton rocked up in Denver and set a blowtorch to everything that came before, labelling Nathaniel Hackett’s spell in charge of the Broncos one of “the worst coaching jobs” in NFL history. It would be nice to know where he thinks his first two games of this season stack up in the rankings.
The Broncos have started the season 0-2. Push the timeline back further and Denver have only won two of their last eight games, with both wins coming over a team quarterbacked by Easton Stick. Through two weeks this season, the Broncos’ offense has laid an egg in four out of eight quarters. Payton, once at the vanguard of offensive football, looks someone out of ideas – or at least out of time. His offense is stuck in 2013, and is led by a rookie quarterback, Bo Nix, who looks in over his head. The advanced metrics this season put Denver’s offense ahead of only the awful Carolina Panthers, a team who benched their quarterback this week, in part, because they are worried he has trouble seeing over the line of scrimmage.

NFL Week 3 Panic or Patience: Bengals Can Still Make the Playoffs Despite 0–2 Start. Two weeks of data, two weeks of evidence.

I also outlined concern about Antonio Pierce and the Las Vegas Raiders, which was quelled by a stirring comeback over the Baltimore Ravens. In this week's six-pack, we dive into what's going on with the Cincinnati Bengals, whether Bryce Young has an NFL future, the San Francisco 49ers struggling with injuries and more. Let's get into it. Patience : The Bengals and their playoff chances Historically speaking, teams that start 0–2 have an 11.5% chance of making the playoffs.

Drake Maye will start at quarterback for the New England Patriots sometime during his rookie season. It's only a matter of when the team needs to begin playing the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 draft and replace bridge QB Jacoby Brissett. The Patriots are 1-1 after two games, upsetting the Bengals on the road but falling to the Seahawks at home. Knowing Brissett has been one of the league's worst QBs so far, it would behoove the Patriots to get an early look at the future sooner rather than later.

Take it from a former player: the NFL is brutal, violent and very tough to walk away from | RK Russell.
Concern around Tua Tagovailoa’s health is understandable. But quitting football means athletes must confront life without a sport often crucial to their identity
Football is one of the most violent sports in the world – a fact that is both its downfall and allure. As players, we are acutely aware of the risks we take every time we step on to the field. And if we aren’t, it’s often a chosen ignorance, a conscious decision to embrace the reckless freedom that the sport demands. I don’t know a single teammate from my career in the NFL or college who doesn’t suffer daily pain from their playing days. Yet, that pain often brings back memories of treasured moments – the locker room camaraderie, the weight room grind and the battles on the field. In the NFL, these injuries can feel like medals of honor, testaments to having survived a game that those who have not played it cannot truly fathom. Despite the suffering, most of us continue to play the game we love while we still can, accepting the consequences of the life we’ve chosen. Few regret it, though some do. And tragically, some lose their lives too soon because of it. But what happens when the risk finally outweighs the reward?
The recent discussion around the health of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa have reopened a familiar debate: when is it time for a player to walk away? After his third documented concussion in two years, many in the football world urged Tua to retire, to “shut it down”. People point out that he has already made $73m – enough to set up the 26-year-old and his family for life. Why risk his health for a job that could kill him? But walking away isn’t a simple choice; it’s a deeply personal reckoning that goes beyond the physical.
RK Russell is a former NFL player for the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Of the nine teams, Solak believes four are a flash in the pan while the other five are legitimate contenders. Mayfield isn't an elite quarterback, but he knows where his bread is buttered, and the success of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin (who has had an excellent start to the season) allows him to attack one-on-ones with confidence.

Usually, bltizing Rodgers would be a death sentence because you're creating holes in the coverage for him to exploit. Ultimately, we'd like to see the Patriots settle down with their exotic coverages this week. This doesn't feel like a game where they're going to confuse the quarterback, but maybe they can rattle Rodgers if they can take away his binkies and get some pressure on him. In their first matchup against him in the division, the key is not trying to out-fox the 20-year veteran but to punch the Jets offense in the mouth.

Barkley, whose free agent saga played out on Hard Knocks, told Rich Eisen on The Rich Eisen Podcast that he not only had a hunch he wouldn't be back with the Giants after his contract ran out, he also never really felt as though he was wanted back. The experience with the way his contract situation played out with the Giants left him with a chip on his shoulder. “It did,” Barkley said.
