ESPN NFL Analyst. DMs open. I tweet more on bluesky.
- Text from an NBA analytics staffer tonight: "Houston got more firsts for Robert Covington than it did for DeAndre Hopkins."
- My wife, who had never heard of Saint Peter’s 10 days ago, just referred to Ndefo as “probably our best player.”
- He's only short if you believe the ball literally disappeared when it went out of view
- ESPN Research: The Eagles blitzed Patrick Mahomes on zero of his 42 dropbacks. Mahomes is the 6th QB in Super Bowl history to not be blitzed a single time. All six QBs lost.
- If I'm the Chiefs or Bills I'm calling the Jets about Davante Adams
- ah yes, the key to josh allen's success: the 2.25 quarters he sat behind nathan petermanStarting Anthony Richardson game 1 is a mistake, let him learn from others errors first. The majority of great QB’s don’t start right away: Mahomes, Allen, Hurts, Rodgers, Jackson, etc... The exception is Burrow, who went 15-0 his senior year.
- Bengals finished with a 14% pass block win rate, the worst by any team in any game this season. (ESPN / NFL Next Gen Stats)
- Mason Graham recorded a 43% pass rush win rate against the Packers today. Average for a defensive tackle is 9%.
- Uh, Hopkins
00:00 - The Giants are mathematically alive for both the playoffs and the No. 2 overall pick in the draft.
