Sam Darnold and the Carolina Panthers are off to a hot start, winning their first two games.

Wilson threw four interceptions against the […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers took care of the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, although Matt Ryan and the Falcons made it more interesting than anybody thought it would be.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Julio Jones grabbed what surely would’ve been an early catch-of-the-year candidate in the end zone during his team’s week 2 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, except the catch was deemed incomplete after a review of the play.

LA Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp was fantastic in his team’s 27-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts, but he stayed humble on social media after the win. 2-0.

It only took until Week 2 for the Chicago Bears coaching staff to get a real glimpse of rookie quarterback Justin Fields in regular season action, as he featured in the team’s narrow 20-17 home win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2.

The New York Jets got routed in their Week 2 matchup versus the New England Patriots. It was an ugly game throughout as Zach Wilson continuously made mistake after mistake.

The Dallas Cowboys headed West to Los Angeles to face the Chargers after Dak Prescott and company got edged out on opening night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield briefly left their Week 2 game against the Houston Texans with a shoulder injury. Fortunately, he was able to return and finish the game.

There are very few statement wins that occur this early in the season, but the Las Vegas Raiders did pick up such a victory with the 26-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2.

Perhaps “seeing ghosts,” is a curse that follows any New York Jets quarterback, not just Sam Darnold. At least, that’s what New England Patriots outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy seems to believe. Van Noy, who is watching his Patriots take on the Jets from a couch somewhere due to a throat injury, hilariously tweeted “Ghosts […]

It’s safe to say this isn’t the start Bradley Chubb envisioned for 2021.

Initially listed as questionable to return after heading to the sideline, the […]

Chicago Bears fans didn’t have to wait long to see Justin Fields get snaps as their team’s full-time quarterback in the regular season.

Despite throwing for 332 yards to go along with three touchdowns during the Jaguars Week 1 match-up against the Texans, Trevor Lawrence is probably more focused on avoiding having another game throwing multiple picks against the Broncos on Sunday.

The New York Jets are looking to avenge their defeat to the Carolina Panthers in the season opener.
