NFL - NEWS & NOTES

Thanks for your input. I agree. The Chiefs (Ried and Mahomes) wanted the Ref to tell them or warn them, I feel there is responsibility on the players to actually lineup correctly.

Secondly, how many times have people around the NFL and even on this site think and say how the Chiefs have been getting the benefit of the doubt when it comes to calls? One time it goes against them with evidence (looking at the photos/video), they have a meltdown.

Officiating has been sub-par, to say the least, but this is on the Chiefs, especially Toney.

Curious what others think as well.

 

There is 2 more games tonight. Hopefully they are better than they appear to be.

 

Titans vs Dolphins

 

Packers vs Giants

 

Justin Jefferson day-to-day with chest injury

Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson left Sunday’s 3-0 win over the Raiders with a chest injury, but it doesn’t look like he’s facing another long-term absence from the lineup.

The injury occurred in Jefferson’s return after missing seven games with a hamstring injury and he went to the hospital to be evaluated after leaving the game. Jefferson was released in time to return to Minnesota with the team and head coach Kevin O’Connell said the team was encouraged by the wideout’s condition.

O’Connell offered another positive update on Jefferson’s health Monday. He told reporters that Jefferson is considered day-to-day and that he thinks there’s a good chance that he will be able to play against the Bengals on Saturday.

Jefferson had two catches for 27 yards against the Raiders and has 38 catches for 598 yards and three touchdowns this season.

WEEK 14 is in the books...

 

I waited @Lyman.

I didnt want to c/p ((from NFL.com) because i thought you might post yours... yours are what counts. imo.

 

Can I ask where the Browns fans are , especially on gamedays? You bastards have had the worst time ever in the past 10 to 20 years, now your Browns team and fans have something to be happy about. Get on the freekin' bandwagon, dammitt!!!!

 

I never left.

 

Shit kool aid?

 

No. Pittsburgh owns that franchise.

 

Gamedays are for watching the games now, not sitting online complaining about them. I’m actually getting together with friends to watch on Sundays again. It’s a lot of fun.

 

I was just checking. The Browns are fun, legit and have as much of a chance as anybody with Flacco at QB. Whether your here, with friends or whatever, its all good... just taking a pulse.

 

This season seems like anyone that makes the playoffs has a chance to win it all. Nobody looks invincible.

 

Zach Wilson named the AFC offensive player of the week - Wilson went 27-of-36 for 301 yards and two touchdowns as the Jets went from being tied 0-0 at halftime to beating their visitors 30-6 at MetLife Stadium.

Ivan Pace named NFC defensive player of the week - Pace stuffed the stat sheet with 13 tackles, a sack, a pass defensed and an interception in Minnesota’s 3-0 win.

Brandon Aubrey wins NFC special teams player of the week - Aubrey became the first player in league history with two field goals of at least 59 yards made in a single game. He finished 4-of-4 in field goals, sending attempts of 60, 59, 45, and 50 yards through the uprights.

Harold Landry named AFC defensive player of the week - Landry had 3.0 sacks in the contest, all of which came in the fourth quarter. His final sack on quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on fourth-and-2 with 26 seconds remaining effectively ended the game.

After missing last season with a torn ACL, Landry has recorded 8.5 sacks with nine tackles for loss and 17 quarterback hits this season.

Tylan Wallace is the AFC special teams player of the week - Wallace took over as the team’s punt returner after Devin Duvernay left with a back injury and he came through for the team in overtime. After the Ravens defense forced the Rams to bring on their punt team, Wallace took the kick back 76 yards for a touchdown.

The score gave the Ravens a 37-31 win and has them leading the race for the top seed in the AFC playoffs heading into Week 15.

NFC Offensive Player of the Week - Playing in front of a true home crowd, DeVito led the Giants to a riveting comeback win over the Green Bay Packers, 24-22, on Monday night. Becoming the first undrafted rookie in the Common Draft Era to lead two game-winning drives, DeVito led the way as he went 4 for 4 on his team's final drive to set up 's game-winning field goal. In all, DeVito completed 81% of his passes (17 of 21) for 158 yards, a touchdown, no interceptions and a 113.9 rating. He also had 71 yards on the ground to help the Giants to a third straight win.

 

Browns’ Ogbo Okoronkwo has pec injury, may miss rest of season

Browns defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo may be done for the year.

Okoronkwo suffered a pectoral injury that might end his 2023 season. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski was asked today if Okoronkwo will miss the rest of the season and said that’s a possibility but he doesn’t know for sure.

“I don’t have final confirmation on Ogbo just yet,” Stefanski said. “It might be heading that way, but I’m holding out hope.”

Okoronkwo has played all 13 games as a situational pass rusher and is second on the Browns with 4.5 sacks.

Safety Grant Delpit has been placed on injured reserve with the groin issue he suffered in Sunday’s victory over the Jaguars.

But according to multiple reports, there is hope Delpit can return for the postseason. At 8-5, the Browns are the AFC’s current No. 5 seed.

Delpit just signed a three-year extension with Cleveland.

As a corresponding move, the Browns signed veteran safety Duron Harmon to the 53-man roster off of their practice squad.

Harmon appeared in three games for the Bears earlier this season before he was released on Nov. 8. He signed with Cleveland’s practice squad on Nov. 22.

Additionally, the Browns signed offensive tackle Joey Fisher to the practice squad.
