One of the Corgis in the #Panthers Corgi Race decided to go rogue. Group effort to take him down 😂

Ward's 102 passing yards are the fewest passing yards by a winning starting quarterback this season, excluding games in which the starter left with an injury
Cam Ward becomes the fifth QB since 2024 to start and finish a game, attempts 20+ passes, throw for less than 105 yards — and get the win, according to @NFLonFOX research.
The others: Bryce Young, Jalen Hurts, Bo Nix, and Caleb Williams

Both teams struggling to rush off the edge because of the footing and it's causing Jacksonville to show more mugged up looks to pressure the pocket.
The result? CJ Stroud is killing them with hot throws and quick completions.

This is Chip “Help” from the TE. 75 is responsible for the 55. 3 is the QB’s responsibility to beat with the throw.
Despite what people say or think, 75 has to keep eyes on 55. It’s the protection rules

Dre Greenlaw is now tied for the NFL career lead in ejections since 1975, tied at 3 with Alonzo Spellman, Derrick Burroughs, Jalen Ramsey, Mark Lee, and Vinson Smith. quirkyresearch.com/football-…

Mike Ditka was scheduled to sing the seventh inning stretch on July 5th, 1998. This was the year that Harry Caray died and the “guest conductor” was new at Wrigley Field. Ditka got stuck in traffic and was running late. By the time the top of the seventh ended, Ditka was still not there and Steve Stone and Chip Caray stalled for time. Finally Ditka busts into the press box, grabs the mic, and screams Take Me Out To The Ball Game in twenty two seconds! Organist Gary Pressy could barely keep up! The crowd roared with approval! R.I.P. Mike Ditka

No Joey Porter Jr, but Jalon Daniels gets another start! If that's not reason enough to watch Cowboys-Buccaneers, I don't know what is.
The DVOA Discord will muddle through, somehow.

Since 2013, across all the various Eagles QBs and their Total QBR...
With Lane Johnson on the field: 62.5 (3rd-best in NFL)
Without Lane Johnson on the field: 46.8 (29th)

Teammates with the same last name to each score 2 touchdowns in the same NFL game:
- Bijan and Brian Robinson, Falcons, tonight
- Demaryius and Julius Thomas, Broncos, 2013 vs. Ravens and 2014 vs. Cardinals

According to @NextGenStats, Titans DT Jeffery Simmons had just one pressure on 32 pass rushes (3.1%), his lowest rate since Week 7 of last season.
His lone pressure came against starting right guard Andrew Vorhees. Simmons had nine matchups with rookie center Vega Ioane.

same exact concept to pop Zay Flowers open again
Broke down these Ravens plays to Zay Flowers on our week 3 recap show.
Even with the different use of formations and motion, all of them end up with Zay Flowers in the no. 3 spot running variations of the same concept with Flowers on the crossing route.
Window dressing on staple concepts to get your best receiver the ball, it works!

how do you punt on 4th and 1.5 but go for it on 4th and 5 on the next drive?
at nearly the exact same spot on the field
the inconsistency is maddening

Top 10 players by pass rush wins this season.
-Jeffery Simmons, dear god
-Dallas Turner has arrived
-Boye Mafe being what Bengals need, keeping up PRWR with expanded playing time!
-I thought Bradley Chubb was washed and was critical of that signing. Looking like a bad take!

Funniest subplot of the first two weeks: The Titans just can't figure out kickoffs.
They've kicked touchbacks 57% of the time. League average is 16%. Just giving away field position.
Eagles GW drive started at own 35, and they scored the TD with 9 seconds left!
Tom Gower retweeted
Jalen Carter (98) lines up well off the ball, jumps at hard count but doesn't cross LOS but gets JC Latham to move in hopes of drawing defensive penalty. False start called.
I don't know if this was intentional or not. But would be a good little gambit for defenses to use!

There has never been a 16-game NFL week where every game was won by a different number of points, so I know what I'm rooting for tonight.
Post-merger weeks with different scoring margins for every game: W7 2025 (15 games); W2 1976 (14); W9 1973 (13); W7 1997 (12); W4 1992 (11)
