Carlos Hyde Finds The End Zone In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde didn't see a ton of volume with just seven carries for 23 yards, but he did manage to get into the end zone on a one-yard run. With the other injuries in the running back room, it's likely that Hyde will get some work on an every-week basis. However, […]

Eagles Defense Not Great In Week 1 Loss

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense did not look great in a Week 1 loss to the Washington Football Team.

There wasn't much to be excited about with this defense, and they'll likely […]

Jake Elliott Makes A Field Goal And Two Extra Points

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made a 38-yard field goal and two extra points in a Week 1 loss to the Washington Football Team. Elliott should be a consistent, if somewhat safe kicking option throughout the season, although the Eagles offense looked like a mess at certain points in this one. They'll face the Rams […]

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson carried the ball 14 times for 93 rushing yards in the Lions 27-23 loss to the Bears. The veteran also added 21 receiving yards for an impressive debut.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker nailed his only field-goal on Sunday against the Browns, a 41-yard attempt near the end of the first quarter. He also hit all five of his extra-point attempts.
