If — or when — Bryce Petty gets another shot under center, he'll be ready. If not, the third-year quarterback won't complain he didn't get a fair shot to win the Jets' starting job. The Jets went 1-3 with Petty starting last season, but the fourth-round pick out of Baylor completed 56.4

Several members of the Pittsburgh Steelers underperformed during Pittsburgh's first game. But the Steelers still got out with a win and ultimately that is all that matters.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver and legend Hines Ward is one of the nominees for the 2018 Pro Football Hall of Fame class. If you polled every Steelers fan it would come as no surprise if Ward were the most beloved player at least franchise history, at least in the modern era. But Ward admits
