Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 317 yards, three touchdowns (all to Ja'Marr Chase), and one interception off 36-for-46 passing during the win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

Daniel Jones Undergoes X-ray

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) left Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins and did not return. Neck issues are never good for anyone.

The 26-year-old signed a four-year, $160 million extension with the Giants […]

Marcus McKethan Questionable To Return

New York Giants right guard Marcus McKethan (knee) exited Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins and is questionable to return. Jalen Mayfield will handle additional snaps in his absence. This is more bad news for a Giants offensive line that has been decimated by injuries in 2023. This news bodes poorly for Daniel Jones and […]

Anthony Richardson Downgraded To Out Sunday

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (shoulder) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans.

Trevor Lawrence Throws For 300-Plus Yards In Win Vs. Bills

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 25-of-37 passes for a season-high 315 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions in a win against Buffalo.

Chandler Zavala Won't Return Due To Neck Injury

Carolina Panthers rookie offensive guard Chandler Zavala (neck) had a scary situation in the first half of the Week 5 game against the Detroit Lions when he went down with a neck injury.
