The Chargers surely needed some luck, including the Bengals’ two missed field goals in the fourth quarter. Burrow also missed an open Chase on a deep ball down the right sideline that could have been a go-ahead touchdown. — Daniel Popper, Chargers beat writerSunday’s win shows Chargers’ improvementsThere will be plenty to clean up moving forward.

CNN —Week 11 saw late drama, blowout wins and surprising upsets as the 2024 NFL season’s playoff picture became a little bit clearer. Steelers edge Ravens in AFC North classicThe Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens have historically been the dominant forces in the AFC North. “Well, look, this morning I had no hatred in my heart,” Queen told NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe after the game. (Steelers linebacker Nick Herbig) made a huge play, and it just came out of me playing football, all the emotions. Great team win,” Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh exclaimed after the game.

Nguyen: With Aaron Rodgers’ age and their defense, the Jets have a small window to make some noise. In theory, Adams would also add some much-needed explosiveness to a Jets offense that entered this week ranked 29th in the NFL in total yards and 27th in points. The Bills’ defense also suffered losses in free agency, and holes went unfilled even though Buffalo’s top competitors in the AFC include elite offenses in Kansas City, Baltimore and Cincinnati. Watson isn’t just not playing well, he’s playing like one of the worst quarterbacks in the league. Maybe improved offensive production would help ease pressure on the Browns’ defense.

☆ Top NFL Week 3 storylines: Will Vikings or Texans go 3-0? Can Andy Dalton help Panthers?
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-22 | by ( Mike Jones | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +10 min

The esteemed group: The Bills, Buccaneers, Chargers, Chiefs, Saints, Seahawks, Steelers, Texans and Vikings. Can Darnold continue his resurgence against a Texans defense that ranks third-stingiest in yards allowed and second in sacks through two games? Saints’ legitimacyIt seemed premature to get excited about the Saints’ 47-10 trouncing of the Panthers in Week 1, given Carolina’s issue. And is a Saints defense that has held opponents to just 14.5 points per game equally as legit? Can Dalton help stop the bleeding, or is this team as bad as it seems regardless of who starts at quarterback?

The 16 teams that lost last week look to bounce back with performances that reflect improvement and promise. Rodgers completed 13 of 21 passes for 167 yards, a touchdown and an interception, and the Jets managed just 68 rushing yards. Stroud, the best quarterback from last year’s draft class, and Chicago’s Caleb Williams, the first pick of this year’s draft. Stroud continued to impress in Week 1, throwing for 234 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. After the game, Williams vowed, “I will be better.” Excelling against a talented Texans defense, however, could prove challenging.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion in the third quarter of the team’s “Thursday Night Football” game against the Buffalo Bills. Six minutes later, the Dolphins confirmed he suffered a concussion and was ruled out for the game. The first of those appeared to occur in Week 3 against the Bills, and Tagovailoa was allowed to return later in the game. Later in the 2022 season, Tagovailoa re-entered concussion protocol after experiencing concussion symptoms in a game against the Green Bay Packers on Christmas. Ahead of Week 17, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Tagovailoa suffered another concussion and was ruled out.

Browning completed 32 of 37 passes and directed the overtime drive that set up McPherson's field goal.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is still day to day with lingering pain from a calf injury, coach Zac Taylor said Thursday. "So giving him some time is best.”Burrow strained his right calf muscle on the second day of on-field workouts in training camp on July 27. Burrow said he “tweaked” the calf injury on the Bengals’ final drive of Sunday's 3-point loss to the Ravens. Just before the start of training camp in 2022, Burrow had an emergency appendectomy. They won the next eight games to finish the regular season and capture the AFC North title for the second straight season.
