Jonathan Taylor is having one of those seasons that somehow still isn’t getting talked about enough 📈

He went for 95 yards and 2 touchdowns on 20 carries in London as the Colts handled the Commanders 30-13. Indy started slow, but once Taylor got going, Washington never really had an answer for him.

He also became the NFL’s all-time leader in rushing yards in international games, adding another ridiculous accomplishment to a career that still feels underrated.

The Colts are back to 2-2, and Taylor already has 353 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns through four games.

At some point we might have to stop calling Jonathan Taylor underrated and just start calling him one of the best backs in football. 🐎🔥

Parker Washington’s emergence needs to be talked about more 🔥

The Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver has quietly turned himself into one of the most dangerous weapons in their offense. After breaking out for 847 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns last season, Washington has picked up right where he left off with 221 yards and 2 touchdowns through the first three games of 2026.

And this is a former sixth-round pick out of Penn State who had to earn every opportunity he got.

Washington has become a legit playmaker for Jacksonville, whether he’s creating after the catch, stretching the field or finding ways to get open when Trevor Lawrence needs him.

At some point we have to stop calling this a breakout and start talking about Parker Washington as one of the better young receivers in the NFL. 📈

Guardian Caps might have just found a whole new purpose 😭

Jaylen Waddle’s two-point conversion against the Rams cleared Josh Wallace’s helmet by what looked like a few millimeters. Bo Nix dropped it in perfectly, Waddle made the play, and Denver got the conversion.

Now everybody’s asking the same question… if Wallace had a Guardian Cap on, does this pass get knocked down?

Forget player safety for a second — DBs might’ve just discovered a competitive advantage 💀

Marcus Mariota looked REALLY good stepping in for Washington. 😭🔥 With Jayden Daniels sidelined, Mariota came in and gave the Commanders exactly what they needed: calm decision-making, efficient throws and enough mobility to keep the offense moving.

For a guy who’s been in and out of starting roles for years, he looked surprisingly comfortable running the offense. He protected the football, took what the defense gave him and made plays with his legs when things broke down.

That’s about as encouraging of a backup performance as Washington could’ve hoped for. Mariota proved he can still step in and keep this offense competitive when his number gets called. 👀🏈

The New York Giants acquired quarterback J.J. McCarthy from the Minnesota Vikings on September 28, 2026, in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round draft pick. New York orchestrated the trade out of urgency after franchise cornerstone Jaxson Dart suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 2. McCarthy, the 10th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, became expendable for Minnesota after falling to third on their depth chart behind Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz. The move represents a low-risk gamble for the Giants to secure a young signal-caller with pedigree, while allowing the Vikings to gain draft capital and clear future salary cap space.

Schematically, McCarthy offers head coach John Harbaugh a highly mobile distributor who aligns well with an offense originally designed for the athletic Jaxson Dart. While veteran Jameis Winston remains the immediate starter, McCarthy’s familiarity with Harbaugh-style systems provides a dynamic backup option well-suited for run-pass options (RPOs) and bootlegs. If McCarthy unseats Winston down the line, his ability to extend plays out of structure could help mitigate protection deficiencies behind a developing offensive line. However, he will need to overcome previous passing inefficiencies—having thrown 11 touchdowns to 12 interceptions with a 57.6% completion rate in 2025—to successfully unlock the explosive perimeter talent of rookie playmaker Malik Nabers.

Dylan Raiola might’ve just started his redemption arc😳🔥

After all the jokes, criticism and people who had already written him off, Raiola got thrown into one of the toughest situations imaginable tonight. Dante Moore goes down, Oregon turns to its backup on the road against USC, and suddenly the entire game is in his hands.

Raiola didn’t flinch.

The former Nebraska quarterback stepped in and threw for 289 yards, helping Oregon finish off a 41-27 win over USC when the Ducks desperately needed someone to take control.

For a guy who has heard EVERYTHING over the last couple years, this felt different.

Dylan Raiola got another opportunity tonight — and he made sure people remembered why he was once one of the biggest quarterback prospects in college football.

The redemption arc starts now. 👀

Dante Moore just took a BRUTAL hit and is now out of the game. 😭🙏 Oregon’s quarterback got rocked on the play and had to leave, which is obviously a huge concern considering how important he is to that offense.

The hit looked rough enough that the focus immediately shifted from the result of the play to whether Moore was okay. Any time a quarterback takes that kind of shot and doesn’t come back in right away, the entire sideline starts holding its breath.

Now Oregon has to adjust without its starter, and everyone is waiting on an update. Hopefully Moore avoided anything serious and this ends up looking worse than it actually is. 🙏🏈

Jeremiah Smith is having an ABSURD first half. 😭🔥 Before halftime, he already has 6 catches for 132 yards and THREE touchdowns, including a 72-yard score.

That’s 22 yards per catch and a full-game stat line before the second quarter is even over. Ohio State keeps looking his way and Illinois simply has not had an answer.

Three touchdowns and 132 yards before halftime is ridiculous. Jeremiah Smith is reminding everybody why he’s one of the most dangerous players in college football. 😭🔥

Harry Kane might actually kick in the NFL one day 😭

The England and Bayern Munich star says he’s considering becoming an NFL kicker later in his career, and he believes his experience taking pressure-packed penalties could help with the transition.

Kane even mentioned potentially playing in MLS while kicking in the NFL, basically trying to pull off a two-sport career.

He says he’d give himself 6–12 months to seriously train for it.

Imagine Harry Kane lining up for a game-winning field goal in the NFL. 😭🏈⚽

Justin Herbert is officially in the dog water conversation 😭🐶💦. At this point, the Chargers can’t keep selling us on the idea that he’s some unstoppable superstar every single week. The arm talent is there, the physical tools are there, and yet somehow the results constantly leave you asking, “THAT’S IT?” 😭

Herbert has made some ridiculous throws throughout his career, but when the pressure hits, the offense stalls, and the game is on the line, the same questions keep coming back. You can have all the talent in the world, but eventually you have to consistently turn it into winning football.

Chargers fans have defended this man through EVERYTHING, but there comes a point where excuses stop working. Bad decisions, missed opportunities, and stretches where the offense completely disappears are becoming way too familiar.

Maybe Herbert turns it around. Maybe this is just another rough stretch. But right now? Calling him elite feels CRAZY. 💀

DOG. WATER. 🐶💧

Will Levis might’ve landed in the perfect spot to revive his NFL career 🙂‍↕️💯

The New York Jets just brought Levis onto their practice squad, giving the former Titans second-round pick a fresh start after things completely fell apart in Tennessee.

Nobody’s saying he’s walking in and taking the starting job from Geno Smith, but Levis is still only 27 with the size and arm talent that made people believe in him coming out of Kentucky.

Sometimes a quarterback just needs a different staff, different system and a little patience.

If New York eventually gives Will Levis another real opportunity, this could quietly become one of the more interesting comeback stories in the NFL.
