Having been coached by Dennis Allen, Manti Te’o knows the value of turnover drills. He says that preparation showed in the Bears’ defensive performance last night 🫡

wins against the ravens, jets, saints and dolphins and yet, not a single falcons fan feels comfortable right now

wins against the ravens, jets, saints and dolphins

On second thought, the Jets, Dolphins, and Saints might not have been a good barometer for how good this Bills team is.

I really don’t think he’s a day one guy at all. I mean, maybe the Saints with that connection… but I don’t think he’s a day one guy for anybody that I’ve talked to.

Steelers WR matchmaker: SPICY: DJ Moore ALSO SPICY: Chris Olave Good idea: AD Mitchell Also good idea: Dontayvion Wicks Kinda cool actually: Christian Kirk Most likely: Allen Lazard Second-most likely: Mack Hollins Third-most likely: Tim Patrick Reunion szn: JuJu Smith-Schuster

Carolina RB Rico Dowdle totaled 239 scrimmage yards today and 234 last week. Dowdle is now the sixth running back in the Super Bowl era with at least 225 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in consecutive games, joining Dalvin Cook (2020 with Minnesota), Le’Veon Bell (2014 with Pittsburgh), Deuce McAllister (2003 with New Orleans), Marshall Faulk (2002 with the St. Louis Rams) and Walter Payton (1977 with Chicago).

Saints halftime HB snap count Alvin Kamara 22 Kendre Miller 14 Out of 34 plays

Spencer Rattler in the first half: 12/14 for 129 yards

Halftime

If Spencer Rattler was taken in the first or second round, everyone would think he's a franchise QB
