Matt Verderame’s Notes: Trevor Lawrence’s Ascension Among the Best Storylines in NFL Week 4 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
September’s early headlines have gone to the mainstay quarterbacks. Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson are all performing at extraordinary levels, with their teams going a combined 8–1 and scoring 24 total touchdowns against five interceptions. But two other quarterbacks, stationed 2,725 miles apart, are playing as well as anybody: Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence and San Francisco’s Brock Purdy. Purdy has the 49ers playing arguably the league’s best football, with San Francisco 3–0, in
NFL Rookie Report: New York is Home to a Host of Promising Talent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This isn’t a normal year for NFL rookies. As October approaches, not a single rookie quarterback has started a game. Only two first-year running backs, Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price, are the main backs for their respective offenses with the Seahawks and Cardinals. At wideout, there’s exactly one rookie in the top 50 in receiving yards. While many believed April’s draft was relatively weak compared to other years (and the monster class expected in 2027), the lack of impact around the league f
NFL Week 3 Good, Bad and Ugly: Jaguars, Patriots Headed in Opposite Directions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After two weeks of attempting to figure out fact from fiction around the NFL, Week 3 is putting things in their proper perspective. In Jacksonville, the Jaguars (2–1) are showing they shouldn’t have been nationally overlooked after winning 13 games and the AFC South last season. After a tough loss in Denver, Liam Coen’s team put on a clinic against the defending conference champions, beating the Patriots (1–2) 35–6 at home. The game was a tale of two quarterbacks. Trevor Lawrence was fantastic,
The Chiefs’ Move From Missouri to Kansas Is More Complicated Than Many Fans Realize (opens the original)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It’s Week 1 in Kansas City. Monday Night Football. It’s time for Patrick Mahomes’s return from a pair of torn ligaments in his left knee. The smell of barbeque is in the humid air, with a heat index of 97° and a scorching sun beating down on the aged asphalt around Arrowhead Stadium. Nobody minds. In this moment, all is right with the world. The Chiefs are back. The smokers are cranking and the beers are flowing. And in a few years, this space will be empty on football Sundays
Matt Verderame’s Notes: Patrick Mahomes’s Resurgence Among Best Storylines for NFL Week 3 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last season was a fever dream in the NFL. The games on Championship Sunday were quarterbacked by Sam Darnold, Drake Maye, Jarrett Stidham and Matthew Stafford, a likely Hall of Famer with an MVP and title to his credit. Maye earned second-team All-Pro honors but endured a nightmarish postseason. Darnold is a journeyman. Stidham was there because Bo Nix was injured. Typically, the more teams are eliminated, the more top quarterbacks are highlighted. That was not the case in 2025, with Patrick Mah
