Jason Garrett had a message for Dak Prescott’s critics. Garrett spoke on NBC’s “Football Night in America” Sunday prior to the Week 1 opener between the Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions. The NBC analyst, who previously served as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, defended his former quarterback. “He just plays the game at a high level. I hear these clowns on TV say, ‘he’s overrated. He’s not in the top 10.’ Watch the game! He’s an incredible football player, great leader for that team,” Garrett said, emphatically. “But back to Dak (Prescott), he just plays the game at…

Photo credit: Chris Pedota, NorthJersey.com / USA TODAY NETWORK The New York Giants did not bench Daniel Jones during their season-opening loss to Minnesota, but the performance was bad enough that the question had to be asked. The Giants were blown out at home 28-6 by the visiting Vikings, with fans loudly booing the team throughout the afternoon. Jones went 22/42 for 186 yards with two interceptions on a day in which the Giants failed to find the end zone at all.…

Mandatory Credit: Candice Ward-USA TODAY Sports The Las Vegas Raiders may have blown their best chance to win thanks to a strange punt decision by head coach Antonio Pierce. The Raiders were trailing 16-10, but had a 4th and 1 at the Chargers’ 43-yard line with 7:15 to go in the fourth quarter. This would seem like an obvious situation in which to go for it, but Pierce opted to punt and…

Mandatory Credit: Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is once again facing questions after an ugly season-opening performance against the Dallas Cowboys. Watson on Sunday showed little to convince anyone that he can recapture the form he had while a member of the Houston Texans. Social media users highlighted multiple poor decisions throughout the game, most notably his lack of awareness regarding the Dallas pass rush. Deshaun Watson’s in-game feel just isn’t there the way it…
Kyler Murray apparently still has some chemistry to build with his new teammate Marvin Harrison Jr. The Arizona Cardinals fell Sunday in their season opener against the Buffalo Bills by the final of 34-28. Despite Arizona storming out to a 17-3 lead in the first half, their offense sputtered during the second half, allowing Buffalo to storm back and take a one-score lead with inside of two minutes left in the fourth quarter. During the ensuing drive, the Cardinals quarterback Murray led the team on a would-be game-winning drive but suffered an absolutely brutal whiff at a key moment. With…

Tom Brady made his regular-season debut in the FOX broadcast booth on Sunday, and it looks like one thing he might need to work on is his chemistry with Mike Pereira.

For a brief moment in time on Sunday, Alvin Kamara managed to score the single most valuable touchdown in NFL history. The New Orleans Saints running back Kamara found the end zone in the third quarter of Week 1 vs. the Carolina Panthers (as part of a touchdown assembly line for the Saints in an eventual 47-10 dismantling of Carolina). As Kamara hit pay dirt from inside the one-yard line, the scorebug on the FOX broadcast briefly showed that Kamara’s touchdown run had given the Saints [checks notes] nine additional points. The glitch was edited out of the NFL’s official…
