‘Those Plays Will Come:’ Teryl Austin Not Concerned About Patrick Queen’s Quiet Start To Season. When the Pittsburgh Steelers signed Patrick Queen in March, the expectation was that he would be just as impactful at linebacker as star defenders like Minkah Fitzpatrick and T.J. Watt are at their respective positions. Through two games, that hasn’t been the case. He hasn’t made any significant plays so far. It is still early […]

Nominally the backup, he has navigated the Pittsburgh Steelers to two victories through a constant cloud of doubt. It may be that most of all that is impressing his teammates. “I think [Justin Fields has] handled […]

NFL unbeatens meet as Texans visit Vikings, Steelers host Chargers. The third week of the campaign sees a Texans squad off to its first 2-0 start since 2016 against a Vikings team that leads the NFL with 11 quarterback sacks. "This is one of those matchups you're looking forward to because we know that they have good receivers at every single spot," said Vikings cornerback Camryn Bynum said. Stroud, 22, has completed 47-of-68 passes for 494 yards and three touchdowns, his top target being Nico Collins, who leads the NFL with 252 yards on 14 catches.

Chiefs' Chris Jones Had Hilarious Rant on NFL Taking Away His Half-Sack vs. Bengals. A quick perusal of Week 2's stat sheet from the Kansas City Chiefs ' 26-25 win over the Cincinnati Bengals will reveal that defensive tackle Chris Jones recorded zero sacks that game. Ask Jones, however, and he'll tell you that he deserves a half-sack in the category. Jones was initially awarded half a sack against the Bengals after teaming up with defensive end George Karlaftis to take down quarterback Joe Burrow on a 3rd-and-10 in the second quarter. The sack proved to be critical as the Chiefs' defense held Cincinnati to a field goal. Yet after the game upon further review, the Elias Sports Bureau gave Karlaftis credit for the full sack. Jones wasn't happy about the NFL's stat correction and

Texans RB Cam Akers and off-the-radar players to watch in Week 3. Cam Akers knows the feeling that Houston Texans starting running back Joe Mixon and backup Dameon Pierce experienced in Week 2. Injuries to the top two backs on the depth chart last week opened the door for Akers to practice this week as the No. 1 back and potential starter when the Texans roll into Minneapolis to face one of Akers' former teams, the 2-0 Vikings. There's no Cliff's Notes version to how Akers got here, but his mere presence on an NFL roster at age 25 after twice tearing his Achilles says everything you need to know about his drive and perseverance.

Unleashing Xavier Worthy Could Help Unlock Chiefs' Offense. While the Kansas City Chiefs are 2-0 with wins against AFC contenders, the offense has yet to return to the form many expected during the offseason after a tumultuous 2023 campaign. One of the reasons for excitement was the selection of wideout Xavier Worthy in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Worthy was excellent in his first pro game but much quieter in his second outing. For Kansas City's offense to become more consistent, they should prioritize developing him as a complete receiver.

Not all were short throws, either – one of them was a remarkable 30-yard completion Richardson ripped through traffic in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Rams. "They had a good connection last year obviously – and getting that going and the easy completions there," head coach Shane Steichen said. "But they've got a good connection so it'll definitely help having Josh back if he plays."

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.

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.

Will Levis has not looked at his social media for the past couple of weeks, and the Tennessee Titans quarterback spent part of Wednesday switching phone numbers to stop fans from deluging his cell with texts sharing their thoughts on his play. “I just think that's the healthiest way to go about it, and I don't want to or care to see anything that people say about me,” Levis said. With the Titans off to an 0-2 start, the second-year quarterback with 11 NFL starts has been the easy target for critics. Tennessee has the NFL's worst turnover margin at minus-4 largely thanks to Levis turning it over five times in the span of three quarters of two games.

George Pickens (WR - PIT)
9/18/24 9:20 AM -
Charlie Batch: ‘At This Point, We’re The Only Ones That Can Stop George Pickens’. Thus far through two games, WR George Pickens is a large portion of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ passing game. That isn’t uncommon for top receivers, of course, but the Steelers are getting relatively little from everyone else. That especially goes for the other wide receivers, who have done next to nothing so far. The problem is, […]

Report: Texans' Joe Mixon 'might end up having to sit out' against Vikings. Texans starting running back Joe Mixon was sidelined in Houston's Week 2 matchup against the Bears after suffering an ankle injury. According to ESPN's Dan Graziano, there seems to be potential that he could miss the upcoming Week 3 contest against the Vikings. "As of Tuesday evening it didn't sound as if the Texans are expecting Joe Mixon's ankle injury to be a season-ender," he reported.

Brock Bowers (TE - LV)
9/18/24 6:14 AM -
Browns, Patriots named potential trade suitors for Raiders tight end. The Las Vegas Raiders have one of the best tight end situations in the NFL, so it would make sense for teams that need one to come calling. Las Vegas drafted Brock Bowers with the No. 13 overall pick in this year's draft and so far he has been everything general manager Tom Telesco could've hoped for, and then some. The Raiders also have Michael Mayer, a 2023 second-round pick who has shown flashes of being an impact player, both as a pass-catcher and blocker, and their No. 3 option on the depth chart is Harrison Bryant, who was signed in free agency and is a top-notch depth piece. In a recent article speculating on players who could be on the trade block, Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox named Bryant as someone who could be dealt, and he listed the Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots as potential suitors.

Cincinnati Bengals continue to plummet in NFL Power Rankings for Week 3. After a dramatic 25-26 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs , the Cincinnati Bengals dropped to 0-2. It is an underwhelming start for a team with championship aspirations. As a result, the Bengals plummeted to 20th overall in the latest edition of the Sporting News power rankings from Vinnie Iyer. It is a steep drop for the team that began the season at No. 7 overall. "The Bengals found their true selves by seeing Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on the other side in Kansas City. Cincinnati just made one more mistake and one less clutch play, dropping to a familiar hole they hope they can dig out of, unlike last season," Iyer wrote. After a 0-2 start, the ranking is understandable. Still, it feels a

Aaron Rodgers (QB - NYJ)
9/18/24 3:00 AM -
Patriots Gameplan: Sizing Up New England's First Matchup vs. Aaron Rodgers and the Jets Defense . 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.
