For the first time I'm in my life, I'm rooting for the Red Sox tonight. I'm still trying to reconcile my emotions.

Kevin Stefanski says the league office agreed that Javon Bullard's low block, outside the tackle box, that injured Dawand Jones, deserved a flag: "That should have been a penalty, which we all thought in the moment."

VERY small sample size (6 starts)... But, the Falcons are 0-4 with Michael Penix as the starting QB when the opponent scores 8+ points. (via NFL Research)

Jayden Daniels: "Up to the doctors. Not my decision." "I feel good."

Brian Schottenheimer: "We have not been playing to the standard that would we want to play to, but if we had Micah you can't predict we'd be playing any better." "Are you 3-0? Are you 0-3? You don't know, man. Those are projections."

Through 3 games, 50.3% of the Browns yards from scrimmage (458 of 910) have come from rookies.

Through 3 weeks, we're averaging less than 2 kickoff touchbacks per NFL game. 48 games 84 touchbacks

Quinshon Judkins leads the Browns with 166 yards from scrimmage, despite missing their Week 1 game.

128 Modern-Era nominees for HOF list was just released. 13 first-year eligibles: Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, Alex Smith, Larry Fitzgerald, Greg Olsen, Jason Witten, Frank Gore, LeSean McCoy, David DeCastro, Maurkice Pouncey, Geno Atkins, Jurrell Casey, Thomas Davis

Infield single, infield single, error when pitcher snaps the ball between his legs like a center, swinging strike hits batter in the face, wild pitch, balk, infield single. 3 runs. Ball never leaves infield. Craziest inning ever?

Mike Tomlin describes Vikings QB Carson Wentz as a "grizzly veteran." I assume he meant "grizzly" rather than "grisly", which means "causing horror or disgust".

Kevin Stefanski on Myles Garrett: "He's the Defensive Player of the Year for perpetuity in my opinion."

Browns defense has allowed 172 yards rushing through 3 games.

Week 3

No 0-3 team has gone on to advance to the @NFL Playoffs since the field expanded to 14 in 2020.

A 6:29 TD drive is a good way to start on the road.

Kyle Shanahan says Brock Purdy "has a chance" this week. Purdy will be limited today.

Bears HC Ben Johnson, asked about his production meeting this week with Tom Brady: "I've been careful with everything I've said since the season started. I've been in pure 'coach-speak mode'." (laughter from the room)

Browns lead the NFL in total defense, but are the first team to start 0-2 despite allowing fewer than 400 yards since Buddy Ryan's 1994 Cardinals. (via NFL Research)

Kevin Stefanski: "That unofficial depth chart, that's his doing over there [PR], not mine." Stefanski says they'll continue working Quinshon Judkins into the offense. Rookie RB listed as #1 back after 13 touches Week 2.

How is it already Week 3? Steve Smith Sr. joins the show! Brady, Burrow, Tush Pushing edition of "Inside Coverage". Jori Epstein and yours truly. Apple: tinyurl.com/36usdd8d Spotify tinyurl.com/mr62xdf6 📺: youtu.be/aLkZBm7dPd4

Will Kaleb Johnson still return kickoffs? Mike Tomlin: "Probably not in the short term."

When Pete Carroll was born, the @NFL was two weeks away from kicking off its 32nd season. This is the NFL's 106th season.

Happy for Nicholas Jamaal Chubb

Given the choice, I'd rather have back-to-back, rather than simultaneous, MNF games. Yes, I know the second game starts late.

59 different QB started @NFL regular season games in 2024. Heading into Week 3, the 2025 number will be 35 with these additions: Mac Jones Carson Wentz Jake Browning

Most passing attempts through two games (with 2 MNF to play): Joe Flacco - 90 Bryce Young - 90 Dak Prescott - 86 Spencer Rattler - 80 Russell Wilson - 78

Good morning, Week 2! Browns - Ravens Please join Je'Rod Cherry, Nathan Zegura, and yours truly. 1pm

Matt LaFleur says WR Jayden Reed has a broken collarbone.

Joe Flacco says he’s looking forward to returning to Baltimore to face the Ravens as the visiting QB for the first time. Just don’t expect him to show it. 🤣

Joe Flacco says he understands how Browns fans will view the Ravens 30th anniversary celebration Sunday. He also understands that Baltimore fans will say "it's no big deal." "Honestly, for me, it makes it more exciting." "It'll make it more interesting."

Joe Flacco is 261 yards away from passing both Vinny Testaverde and Carson Palmer on the @NFL all-time passing list. Flacco would move into 16th on the career list. Russell Wilson is in 15th place, 316 yards ahead of Flacco.

Andre Szmyt will kick for the Browns Sunday, per Kevin Stefanski.

Mike Tomlin has a way with words. Asked about Cole Holcomb getting no defensive snaps: "We don't feel obligated for participation. This isn't little league football. We're going to assimilate a group that we think is capable of winning certain matchups."

OK, so we have a game.

Who is this guy the Bears have playing quarterback? Is this the guy that used to play at USC? What a difference a year makes for Caleb Williams.

Heck of a drive.

Caleb Williams with the Nike Dri-FIT t-shirt hanging out of his jersey is an interesting look.

Can rookie RB Quinshon Judkins be ready for Week 2? Kevin Stefanski: "We'll see. Gotta get through this week of practice. Don't know."

Moving the touchback to the 35 definitely had an effect. Week 1, 2024: 33.3% return rate Week 1, 2025: 77.3% return rate **before MNF

What a wildly entertaining game.

Big day tomorrow, friends. Another season, another journey. Football is fun.

Taunting teaching points? Kevin Stefanski: "My team meeting got very long this morning after some of the things that happened in that game."

That's one magic loogie.

Jalen Carter's ejection was fast, but it did NOT set a record for quickest heave-ho. Joey Porter and William Green were thrown out BEFORE a game in 2004. www.espn.com/nfl/news/sto...

No punts yet in 2025. Good trend.

Brandon Aubrey, easy gas. He makes a 53-yard field goal look like he's just laying up from fairway with a pitching wedge.

Friendly reminder: Set your fantasy lineup.

Micah Parson playing Sunday? Matt LaFleur: "We'll see how he responds every day. Again, we're hopeful. But, no guarantees."
