Humbled & honored to even be mentioned in the same breath as Walter Payton.

J.J. Watt of the Texans, Greg Olsen of the Panthers, and Benjamin Watson of the Ravens are the three finalists for the league’s most prestigious off-the-field award.

Greg, Benjamin and J.J. have changed countless lives with their generosity and commitment to helping others, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said, per NFL.com. As remarkable leaders on and off the field, they personify the character of the late Walter Payton. We commend them for using their platforms to leave a positive impact on communities across the country.

Also happy to share the nomination with @BenjaminSWatson and @gregolsen88 who are both extremely deserving. This is so much bigger than just one man. It’s about the good in all of humanity.

Olsen founded Receptions for Research: The Greg Olsen Foundation, which includes the HEARTest Yard Fund. The foundation provides hospitals, doctors and scholars resources to better the lives of those affected by cancer while the fund provides families of babies affected by congenital heart disease with a multitude of services including in-home, private nursing care, physical therapy and speech therapy among other benefits.

NFL owners surprisingly awarded the game to Minneapolis after holding a secret ballot in May 2014. The northern city won the Super Bowl bid by beating out New Orleans and Indianapolis. This year’s game will mark the sixth time in NFL history that the Super Bowl has been played in a cold-weather city and the first time since Super Bowl XLVIII was played at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

This game will mark the second time that the Super Bowl has been held in Minnesota. Back in January 1992, the Redskins blew out the Bills 37-24 in Super Bowl XXVI.

Justin Timberlake is scheduled to play at halftime of the Super Bowl and if his last Super Bowl performance was any indication, things could get kind of crazy.

Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State. The offensive line is probably a bigger priority right now, and the Colts can address that in free agency. With Barkley, they get a fun, elite-level skill-position player to take pressure off Andrew Luck in his return from the sidelines.

Well, the Eagles have got to feel pretty good about what they saw from Wentz during his first preseason action of Year 2. Their franchise quarterback played only one drive, but it was a 10-play, 60-yard drive that ended in a touchdown. He completed all four of his passes for 56 yards, including a 38-yard score to rookie Mack Hollins that came after Wentz escaped from pressure and kept his eyes down the field.

Cleveland Browns quarterback competitions usually aren’t all that exciting. For one night, DeShone Kizer changed that. Playing with the third-stringers in the second half, Kizer showed off exactly the kind of talent he has by unleashing a 52-yard laser to street free agent Richard Mullaney.

Offensive line coach Jim Turner is doing everything he can to give Mike Westhoff a run for his money as Apesmell Insane Coach, acting like a madman on television and swearing like a sailor. Don’t scream at me, Jim. I’m complimenting you.

The bottom line here is that the biggest loser in this scenario ended up being the Browns.

It has been just over two months since the Patriots traded away Jimmy Garoppolo to the 49ers, and even looking back on it now, it still qualifies as one of the most shocking moves of the 2017 season.

After spending the entire offseason insisting that they weren’t going to trade Garoppolo, not only did the Patriots get rid of him, but they gave the 49ers a bargain of a deal. All San Francisco had to do to land Jimmy GQ was send a second-round pick to New England.

The reason that’s a steal is because the Patriots definitely could have gotten more in return for their former backup quarterback. A lot more.

The Patriots got a draft pick, the 49ers got their quarterback of the future and the Browns are still in total disarray after finishing the season 0-16.

When discussing how fast Gruden’s turnaround was felt, Kingdon said, Right from the first day.

Gruden had a good first practice with the team, according to Kingdon. His passion, work ethic, and meticulous attention to detail were evident. How he got that message across was always unique.

Kingdon gave Gruden a compliment as the coach headed to his office after the first practice. Gruden then told him, Jon, I’m going to make these players hate my fucking guts.

Some people can curse, and it just doesn’t come out naturally and it’s forced, Kingdon said. But Jon — it came out very naturally and it wasn’t a fake toughness.

The Dawgs strayed away from their successful ground game with Sony Michel and Nick Chubb early in the game, which even prompted former Bama OC Lane Kiffin to tell them to run the dang ball.

The one thing the Falcons couldn’t afford to do with a 28-20 lead and 3:56 remaining in regulation was to let Matt Ryan take a critical sack, pushing the team out of field goal range. But that’s exactly what happened, and the result was a crushing and historic loss.

Let’s just say that people are talking about this dynamic, both in that organization and around the league.

Jackson, who has failed to identify or develop a quarterback in Cleveland to this point and earned considerable criticism for how he handled rookie DeShone Kizer last season, is fairly set in his ways and has offensive concepts he strongly believes in. And he already hired a quarterback coach a few weeks back that he knows well through his Bengals ties in Ken Zampese, who didn’t make it through September in Cincy last season.

When did Carson [Wentz] go down? Since that point, no one’s given us a chance, Eagles coach Doug Pederson said, referring to the quarterback’s Dec. 10 ACL tear. I understand Carson’s a great player, but every week our guys are hearing the same thing. Now, all of a sudden, we’re not good enough? We’re 13-3, best record in football, home-field advantage throughout.

The guys are gonna motivate themselves based on what they’ve heard for the last month. It really doesn’t matter what you guys talk about because [our] locker room is united. I’ll go to bat for every one of those guys. I’ll go to war for every one of those guys in that dressing room.

Boykin completed 7 of 9 passes for 101 yards and a touchdown (on fourth and goal), adding four carries for 31 yards and an additional score while leading the Seahawks to a massive halftime advantage. He remained in the game for the early part of the second half, and finished 12 of 15 for 189 yards, a touchdown and a pick.

With Colts quarterback Andrew Luck out, Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford was our only hope for regular-season caliber football. Luckily, Stafford dressed for the game and started. He played in just one series. It took two minutes and three pass attempts for him to throw an interception. In all, he went 2 of 3 for 36 yards.

The NFL’s argument for this are, as one might guess, not at all related to the facts of Elliott’s case, but all about the CBA. (The NFLPA’s arguments are the same kind of thing; it’s very frustrating.)
