"now something that was nothing is a thing"

Just like Jerry Jones likes it.
Obviously we have no idea why CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens were seemingly punished.

But "punishing" them for only one possession and making a whole story out of something that nobody knew about seems like poor process.

Because now something that was nothing is a thing.

That was quick -- Paul George takes and makes a three less than a minute into his season debut.

The NFL is suspending Bengals star WR Ja’Marr Chase one game for unsportsmanlike conduct after he was caught on video spitting on Steelers DB Jalen Ramsey.

Barring a successful appeal, Chase is now set to miss Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots.

The Patriots placed Milton Williams on injured reserve over the weekend. Here is what the move means for them.

Patriots running an Inverted 2 concept vs. the Jets.

This was a concept that the New England wanted to use vs. New York.

Showed up several times.

Plays like Inverted 2 (Tampa) or Quarters (Box) to the strength & inverted Quarters (Sky) to away.

Mike Vrabel (9-2) moves into a tie for ninth place on the Patriots career coaching wins list with John Mazur (9-21).

Next up: Ron Mayer (18-15).

Maye's subtle movements in the pocket to create extra space or buy a split second here or there are Bradyesque.
Drake Maye does the little things of QB’ing so well. Creating his own space within the pocket to get that throw off is *chefs kiss*
