Kadarius Toney is champing at the bit to get back on the field in Week 2. The Kansas City Chiefs wideout has been forced to wait a week and a half for a chance to follow up his subpar performance in the 2023 NFL Kickoff Game, atoning the only way he could by owning up to his mistakes to teammates and coaches. “I told coach, I told Pat (Mahomes), all
Chase Young is ready for action. The Washington Commanders announced Friday that the defensive end has been cleared and will be active Week 2 versus the Denver Broncos. Young missed Week 1 due to a stinger that popped up during the club’s first preseason game. The edge rusher was listed as limited during Wednesday’s practice but got in two full sessions Thursday and Friday, paving the way to be cleared
The reigning NFC champions haven’t looked impressive through two weeks, holding on to one-score victories against the New England Patriots in Week 1 and the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night. After Thursday’s 34-28 win, during which the Philadelphia Eagles benefited from four forced fumbles and a dominant rushing attack, coach Nick Sirianni took solace that his club is looking to adjust after two wins instead of two losses. “It’s way
The Chicago Bears have taken the time to fully examine how they lost to the Packers in blowout fashion last weekend, and have come to the realization they lack trust — both in each other and in their offensive scheme. Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy said as much Thursday when asked why Justin Fields admitted Wednesday he felt he was too conservative at times in the 38-20 loss. “There were a
O.J. Simpson has come under enormous backlash for making a disgusting 9/11 joke when discussing Aaron Rodgers’ ill-fated debut injury. The New York Jets quarterback lasted just two minutes in the win over the Buffalo Bills on Monday night. In what was Rodgers’ first competitive game for the Jets, he started from kick-off but only lasted four snaps. Under pressure in each of his three previous calls, Bills linebacker Leonard
Week 1 has already come and gone, and there’s one trend that’s resurfaced from a year ago. In Week 1 of 2022, six teams scored 10 offensive points or less. Fast-forward one year, and it happened again. Here are the teams that fell below the 10-point benchmark last week: New York Giants (0 points) Cincinnati Bengals (3) Pittsburgh Steelers (7) Arizona Cardinals (9) Houston Texans (9) Carolina Panthers (10) Interestingly,
Kansas City Chiefs star defensive lineman Chris Jones is back at practice, gearing up for the rest of the 2023 campaign after holding out Week 1. Jones said Wednesday he’s “super pleased with how it turned out” after agreeing to a new one-year contract worth up to $25 million with incentives. The All-Pro defensive tackle added that he hopes sides can strike a multi-year deal in 2024. “I’m glad to
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh looked extremely concerned as he confirmed Aaron Rodgers’ “is not good”. MetLife Stadium was sold out as the Jets fans welcomed Rodgers to the team, giving him a stunning reception as he ran onto the field to face the Buffalo Bills in his debut for the team which ended in a thrilling overtime victory. However just four minutes after kick-off Rodgers was limping
The New York Giants came up small Sunday night, getting shellacked 40-0 versus the Dallas Cowboys in a streaking rain at MetLife Stadium. There was no sugarcoating the loss for Big Blue coach Brian Daboll. “We just got skunked here, 40 to nothing,” he said after the game, via the official transcript. “When you play a game like that and coach a game like that, there’s nothing that’s good enough.
More than an hour after the proverbial dust settled on the Dallas Cowboys’ season-opening shellacking of the New York Giants, Micah Parsons took to social media. “Y’all thought this was a game?!” he posted. There was no game on Sunday night. Rather, the Cowboys flexed their might in a one-sided 40-0 mollywhopping, announcing their intentions as Super Bowl contenders emphatically. “I think we made the statement which I’ve been trying
