Evan Engram Impresses in Giants Blowout Loss

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram was a man on a mission Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, catching 11 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown.

Matt Breida Stuffed On 15 Carries

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida handled 15 carries for 37 yards in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

If Coleman can’t go […]

Saquon Barkley Can’t Carry Giants

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley looked great on Sunday, totaling 139 yards against a strong Cowboys Defense.

49ers Worried About Tevin Coleman

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that he's concerned with running back Tevin Coleman's (ankle) injury that he suffered in the Week 1 victory over the Buccaneers.

Eric Ebron Is Silenced in Week 1

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron was an elite tight end last season. During Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers, he had just one catch for eight yards.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper had a strong opening to the season in Week 1, catching six passes for 106 yards and a touchdown.
