When is winners and losers back on

Love has supposedly been prepping for this moment for 18 months, but looked as unready as a rookie in Week 1. I guess I had just hoped that a first-round draft pick with ample prep time would be different than all the other spot starters who looked hopeless filling in for Rodgers. But if I went to a football game to see my son, I might want to actually see him instead of seeing a tiny dot wearing his uniform number.

I hope the Chiefs at least provide opposing families with complimentary oxygen tanks so they can breathe up there. Love explained that his mom has attended all of his games , even when he was riding the bench, even at Utah State, even when he was redshirting as a freshman.

I bet Jordan could feel that all the way from the th row. You have been lied to. They have been hiding the truth from you—the truth of the Punting First Down. Allow the Denver Broncos to demonstrate:. Since the receiving team touches the ball beyond the line of scrimmage, the kicking team is eligible to recover the ball. DEN recovers the ball, but cannot advance it. This play looks like a disaster for Denver. They failed to protect the punt and failed to move the ball past the chains.

But no! This is essentially the same as a muffed punt. The Cowboys already learned this lesson with Leon Lett on a field goal. Why would anybody try to move the football downfield when they could just kick the ball off opponents? Playbooks are so complicated with all these different ways to run or pass the ball. Why bother? Just kick the ball off of your opponent and hop on top of it. This is the offense of the future. Miller was leading the Broncos in sacks, but Denver had lost the last four games in which Miller played before an ankle injury, and came to the tough realization that building for the future was more important than holding on to the franchise icon.

Yet without Von, the Broncos absolutely dominated defensively. Denver took a lead on the favored Cowboys in Dallas before allowing a pair of garbage-time scores. Jonathon Cooper gets the first sack of his NFL career! The Browns cut Odell Beckham Jr.

Even Odell Beckham Sr. Just fine, apparently! The Browns beat up on the Bengals As always, the Browns were carried by their ground game, as Nick Chubb had yards and two touchdowns on just 14 carries. But Baker Mayfield averaged over 10 yards per attempt too.

The Titans played their first game since Derrick Henry required surgery for a foot injury, and seemed doomed. Henry was their first, second, and third option on offense. Tennessee had to totally reshape its offense, and had to do it against the Rams, with Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey.

They just forced Matt Stafford into two comically bad interceptions and held the Rams to 4-for on third downs, keeping Los Angeles out of the end zone into the fourth quarter. They won , even getting Adrian Peterson a late TD:.

The Broncos, Browns, and Titans suffered big personnel losses and won anyway. Solid teams can lose great players and remain relatively good.

The Denver defense was firing on all cylinders in its first game since the Von Miller trade, holding a potent Dallas offense scoreless through three quarters.

Javonte Williams picked up a career-high yards on 17 carries, while Melvin Gordon III ran for 80 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater also made a play with his legs, scoring a one-yard touchdown run.

Denver is now on the season and in the thick of the AFC playoff picture past the midway point of the season. The Packers failed to take advantage of a Chiefs team in turmoil and recorded their second loss of the season after falling The Los Angeles Chargers snapped their two-game losing streak with a gritty win over the Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Justin Herbert exploded out of his slump by throwing for yards, two touchdowns and rushing touchdown as the Chargers won on a field goal with two seconds left in regulation.

The Eagles, led by Jalen Hurts, performed well and will feel exasperated after having control over the game at times but still losing. The Chargers will host the Minnesota Vikings next. Though they headed into the matchup as favorites, the San Francisco 49ers never looked the part against an Arizona Cardinals team missing their stars.
