NFL - NEWS & NOTES

Big run for the Browns and then an untimely fumble at the 10, wow.

 

I think Cox was messing around with the intruders lady and he was pissed. It wasn’t a robbery attempt.

 

Big Eagles win on the road in windy and cold Buffalo. Seems like it’s always cold and windy there. Solid win vs a top AFC team. Back to .500. Road trip is over. Back home for a few games and a much needed bye. Thank God.

 

The Texans earned a big win today against the Raiders, but it may have come at a major cost.

Texans defensive lineman J.J. Watt left the game, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported shortly after the game ended that the Texans fear Watt suffered a torn pectoral muscle that would end his season.

That would be devastating for the Texans and for Watt, who is one of the best players in NFL history but also missed most of the 2016 and 2017 seasons with serious injuries.

The Texans will be battling for a playoff berth down the stretch, and they may be doing it without one of their best players.

BROWNS TRADE GENARD AVERY TO PHILLY FOR DRAFT PICK.

The Los Angeles Chargers announced Monday night that they have fired offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt.

Whisenhunt has been with the Chargers since the final year of Mike McCoy’s tenure as head coach in 2016. Whisenhunt was kept on as offensive coordinator by new Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn when he was hired in 2017. However, the Chargers apparently feel the relationship has outlived its usefulness.

“This is not an easy decision and definitely not one that I take lightly,” Lynn said in a statement from the team. “You win as a team, and you lose as a team. It’s never about just one person. At the end of the day, however, I simply felt a change was needed at this time. I want to thank Ken for his years of service to the Chargers organization and wish him nothing but the best moving forward.”

As of Monday night, the Chargers offense ranked 17th in total yards and 24th in points scored. The offense has faceplanted the last several weeks after Melvin Gordon returned to the team from his hold out. The Chargers have not scored more than 20 points in a game in the last month as part of a 1-3 skid that would have been winless if not for a missed Eddy Pineiro field goal try Sunday in Chicago.

The Chargers will now try to right the ship with a different voice leading the offense.

 

Connor hurt his clavicle and they are doing tests on it today. Could be broken....?
