In honor of Jayden Daniels’ historic start to his NFL career, the Power Rankings are checking in on rookies this week. Last week: 4Sunday: Beat Green Bay Packers 31-29The Vikings are having the NFL’s most surprising season without much help from their rookie class. Veteran wide receiver Rashee Rice is expected to miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury against the Chargers. Second-round wide receiver Ladd McConkey had a career-high 67 yards Sunday and leads the team with 173 receiving yards. Fourth-round tight end Erick All has been a surprise with 12 catches, but third-round wide receiver Jermaine Burton has been a disappointment.

☆ Colts QB Anthony Richardson is out with a hip injury
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-29 | by ( Andrew Greif | Andrew Greif Is A Freelance Sports Journalist. | ) www.nbcnews.com time to read: +1 min

Indianapolis quarterback Anthony Richardson was ruled out for the rest of Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh after appearing to injure his hip in the first quarter. After being hit near the right hip on a 14-yard scramble downfield with 5:42 to play in the first quarter, Richardson, the second-year starter, immediately was seen reaching for the area. But on his first play back, Richardson struggled to run to his left on first-and-goal just 6 yards from the end zone and immediately left the game again, with Joe Flacco entering as the Colts’ replacement. The team initially ruled Richardson as questionable to return, but he was soon downgraded to out for the rest of the game. Shortly after he returned, he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in October 2023 that required surgery.

True or false: The Colts are more of a threat to win the AFC South this season with Joe Flacco than with Anthony Richardson. Flacco has seen and done it all, and he does bring a veteran presence and poise that can help a team win games. While Richarson, who leads the NFL with six interceptions, is the future, Flacco does give the Colts the best chance to win right now. It is true that Joe Flacco gives the Colts a better chance at the AFC South crown than a limited Anthony Richardson.

The Summary Roughly one-third of former professional football players surveyed believe they have CTE, a study found. But the new research indicates that many former NFL players have experienced symptoms associated with CTE, including depression and cognitive difficulties. Roughly one-third of former professional football players surveyed believe they have chronic traumatic encephalopathy, according to a recent study. Evidence of it has been found in the brains of many former football players after death. “Most of the studies that have been done on CTE are much smaller studies on deceased players,” said Rachel Grashow, the lead author of the new study and director of epidemiological research initiatives at Harvard University’s Football Players Health Study.

☆ 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?

ETGO DEEPER NFL Week 2 takeaways: What Chiefs' latest survival shows, Ravens problems, Saints thrivingLast week: 3Thursday: Beat Miami Dolphins 31-10Week 1 was the Josh Allen Show — four touchdowns and 279 combined passing and rushing yards. Dallas Cowboys (1-1)Last week: 7Sunday: Lost to New Orleans Saints 44-19The roller-coaster ride of being a Cowboys fan never ends, does it? That’s been enough because the defense hasn’t allowed either opponent to top 90 yards rushing. Look for a heavy dose of De’Von Achane, who had 96 rushing yards and 69 receiving yards against the Bills, as long as he’s healthy.

CNN —The Green Bay Packers left it all – and a little bit more – on the field against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. During the second quarter with the Green Bay offense at third down and 10, center Josh Myers appeared to vomit on the field before immediately snapping the ball to Willis. “I asked Malik why he didn’t throw the ball on that third down, and he told me Josh threw up on the ball,” said LaFleur. Willis threw 12-of-14 on pass attempts for 122 yards, getting his first NFL touchdown in his first start for the team. Running back Josh Jacobs totaled 151 yards on 32 carries in an explosive outing, while Willis added another 41.

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.

He mocked himself for a viral moment last week — Fox rules analyst Mike Pereira leaving him hanging on a fist pump. He audibly groaned when Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott missed a third-quarter first-down pass in the flat that would have been a touchdown.

Lucas Oil Stadium, the vast brick home to the Indianapolis Colts, is space custom-built for commotion and cacophony. On Wednesday night, the seats were mostly filled, families having shuffled into rows balancing paper trays of chicken fingers and pizza. But at 7 p.m., the lights went down, and the crowd sat poised in stillness and silence. Then a voice on the loudspeaker instructed them to kneel, a spotlight beamed to a corner of the floor. At that instant, Camille Anigbogu, 22, from Houston, recalled later, “I profoundly knew that it was God.”
