Bill Belichick sees a lot of Lawrence Taylor in J.J. Watt
Patriots coach Bill Belichick coached one of the best defensive players in NFL history, in Giants outside linebacker Lawrence Taylor. And when he watches Texans defensive end J.J.

6 reasons to watch Rams vs. 49ers on ‘Thursday Night Football’ in Week 3
This week, we’ve got the Rams playing the 49ers in Santa Clara — a preseason favorite for the worst of all Thursday night games this season. For the 49ers, they just weren’t all that talented outside of Colin Kaepernick, and dumped Chip Kelly after just one year. Aaron Donald is one of the best playersSource: https://www.sbnation.com/2017/9/21/16331968/rams-49ers-thursday-night-football-week-3?yptr=yahoo?src=rss
Ben Roethlisberger: We’re getting better and making improvements on offense
The Steelers have won two straight games to open the 2017 seasons, but that hasn’t stopped them from landing on the list of teams facing questions about their offensive effectiveness.

Mike Preston: Ravens' O-line greats see poor line play becoming common in NFL
No quarterback feels the pain of each Sunday more than Eli Manning of the New York Giants. He doesn't look angry or disappointed anymore; just disinterested.

OK, so the 49ers didn't upset Seattle as I predicted they would in 21-20, straight-up fashion. You can't win 'em all.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Sunday's matchup between the Falcons (2-0) and the Lions (2-0) is shaping up to be a good one.
