Broncos Defense Lives Up To The Hype In Week 1

The Denver Broncos defense looked like their strong suit in the 27-13 Week 1 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday.

Courtland Sutton Does Very Little In Week 1 Win

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton was barely heard from on Sunday in the 27-13 win over the New York Giants in Week 1. Playing in his first regular season game since tearing his ACL in Week 2 of last year, Sutton was handled with kid gloves by the Denver coaching staff, which was a […]

Mike Gesicki Held Without A Catch

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki was a reliable option for this offense throughout the 2020 campaign. His value was expected to remain solid despite the team adding more weapons on offense.

KJ Hamler Leaves Lots Of Points On The Field

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler finished the 27-13 Week 1 win over the New York Giants with three catches on four targets for 41 yards.

DeVante Parker Capitalizes In Week 1

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker was viewed as the clear No. 1 option for the Week 1 matchup against the New England Patriots.

Tua Tagovailoa Underwhelming In Opener

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been receiving plenty of hype going into his sophomore campaign.

Hunter Henry Quiet In Opener

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry was added as an impact red-zone target for this offense over the offseason. However, Henry wasn't able to make much of an impact during the Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He hauled in all three of his targets for 31 yards in this one. It was […]

Bears Lose Two Left Tackles To Injury Sunday Night

Chicago Bears left tackle Jason Peters (quadriceps) and offensive tackle Larry Borom (ankle) were both removed from the Sunday night game against the Los Angeles Rams due to injury.
