🔮 "I'm going to evaluate everything, every position going forward," Steichen said at one point when someone asked if Daniel Jones would remain his starting quarterback.
🔮 The NFL said in a statement Saturday that it is reviewing the previously unreported allegations that Jacobs physically abused multiple women whose existence came to light amid the investigation into the May 23 incident that was well-chronicled.
🔮 The joke will be that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers set back the modern-day NFL offense by decades on Sunday by failing to complete even one pass, something which had happened only one other time during the Super Bowl era.
🔮 This is a breaking story and will be updated.
🔮 If the Ravens' worst fears about a dislocation or fracture become the situation they must navigate, Jackson will probably miss more than just the remainder of this game.
🔮 You may have a great offense, but you will not win a Super Bowl.
🔮 The Packers' interest, at whatever level that has reached, shows the team's willingness to move on from Pro Bowl running back Josh Jacobs, who is currently on their roster but has been a disappointment and something of a headaches because of his legal problems.
🔮 And as the most curious calls went against the Packers, it doesn't surprise that team's postgame media session was replete with a withering review of the poor officiating work – led by safety Xavier McKinney who called the officiating "bulls–t."
