Getty Images The quarterback landscape of the NFC South has changed significantly in recent days. Drew Brees is headed for thumb surgery and an extended absence from the Saints lineup. Cam Newton hasn’t looked right in the first two games, was out of Panthers practice on Tuesday and is...

Getty Images The Patriots played without right tackle Marcus Cannon on Sunday and they had left tackle Isaiah Wynn leave the win over the Dolphins with a toe injury, so they’re thinner than they’d like to be on the offensive line heading into Week Three. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that...

Getty Images The Daniel Jones era will begin on Sunday. Giants head coach Pat Shurmur opened the door to making a change at quarterback on Monday when he declined to say Eli Manning would start against the Buccaneers. It would have been surprising to make such a public show of doubt in...

Getty Images After Sunday’s loss to the Bills, Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that the postgame press conference was not the place to have a conversation about whether to start Daniel Jones at quarterback. That conversation is coming, though. Shurmur said at his Monday press conference...

Getty Images Giants head coach Pat Shurmur left the door open to making a quarterback change for this week’s game against the Buccaneers and Eli Manning would find himself on the bench if that’s the case, but the longtime starter said that nothing is changing for him this week. Manning said...

Getty Images Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard played 92 percent of the Bucs’ offensive snaps on Thursday night but did nothing positive: He never caught a pass, but he did get flagged twice, once for offensive pass interference and once for a false start. Asked why he’s not getting more out of...

Getty Images Many will be criticized for Thursday night’s poor offensive showing in Carolina by the Panthers, who have started the season by losing two home games only four days apart. One person who should not escape criticism is a person whose name was never mentioned once (at least not in a...

Getty Images Replay review is now available for defensive pass interference calls and non-calls. It’s not available for calls and non-calls of illegal contact. And this donut hole was exposed for the first time on Thursday night, in the Buccaneers-Panthers game. Carolina had embarked on a...

Getty Images Unless the Panthers are flat-out lying on the injury report, quarterback Cam Newton entered Thursday night’s game against the Buccaneers healthy. So why wouldn’t they simply have him fall forward on the fourth-and-very-short play near the Tampa Bay end zone with the game on the...

It’s fitting that this game finished on Friday the 13th. It was a horror movie for both teams throughout the night, but mostly for the Panthers. The Buccaneers held on for a 20-14 win over the Panthers, on a night when neither team was capable of moving the ball efficiently, and there was a...

Getty Images Panthers quarterback Cam Newton says that if his defensive teammates are unhappy with him, he can’t blame them. Newton said after Thursday night’s 20-14 loss to the Buccaneers that he feels like the offense let the defense down. “It’s hard to look defensive guys in their eyes...

Getty Images The Buccaneers stopped the Panthers on fourth-and-1 early. They stopped them on fourth-and-1 late. And at least for a moment, they stopped being the Bucs as we knew them. After stopping Cam Newton in his tracks for a 20-14 win last night, the Buccaneers are hoping others notice...

Getty Images The Buccaneers didn’t come up with a dazzling offensive display against the Panthers on Thursday night, but the play of their defense meant they didn’t need to in order to leave Charlotte with a win. All that they needed to do was keep the chains moving, put points on the board on...

Getty Images The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced plans for an expanded class of inductees in 2020 by approving a proposal to put together a group of 15 candidates for selection in addition to the annual group of modern era nominees. That new group will be made up of 10 seniors candidates...
