Matt LaFleur Provides Update On Jordan Love

The Green Bay Packers got quite the scare during their Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil. Very late in the game, star quarterback Jordan Love went down with an injury that was later revealed to be a sprained MCL.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur gave a very encouraging update to Packers fans on...

Bengals visit Chiefs in matchup of perennial playoff contenders meeting in rare Week 2 showdown

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs are accustomed to playing each other late in the season, when the stakes are at their highest — like an AFC championship, for instance, and along with it a spot in the Super Bowl. The rivals have met five times since 2022 and all in December or January, including those two playoff games. That makes their Week 2 matchup Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium a bit out of the ordinary,...

Patriots and Seahawks, two once-proud franchises fallen on hard times, meet with a chance to go 2-0

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The New England Patriots were so bad last year they fired six-time Super Bowl-winning coach Bill Belichick. The Seattle Seahawks weren’t much better, reason enough to get rid of Pete Carroll — the only coach ever to lead them to the NFL title. And on Sunday night, one of those teams will be 2-0. “You see the direction that we’re trying to go, you see what happens when you do follow the process, and you do buy into the...
