Raiders punting from the Chargers 43 on 4th & 1 with 7:15 remaining in the 4th while losing 16-10 registered a Surrender Index of 131.72, this punt ranks 99.9th percentile of all punts since 1999 in terms of cowardice. Deshaun Watson was 0-10 passing 15+ air yards, the worst output since 2006 when air yards were first tracked; his 169 passing yards tied for 6th fewest in history with 45+ attempts. Caleb Williams joins Desmond Ridder as the only QBs in history to attempt over 25 passes and throw fewer than 100 yards in their debut. Browns have not had a 40-point game since Baker Mayfield left; Baker led them to nine 40-point games from 2018-2021. Rookie OT Joe Alt allowed zero pressures in 11 pass-block snaps against Maxx Crosby. Deshaun Watson's remaining contract: 3 years, $138M, fully guaranteed; $172.7M of dead cap after the 2024 season. CJ Stroud on 3rd/4th down in Week 1: 9/9, 85 yards, 2 TDs. Bo Nix averaged 3.3 yards per attempt on 42 passes today which ties the 6th-lowest YPA in any game with at least 40+ pass attempts since the merger. Broncos became the 4th team since the merger to register 2 safeties and lose. Bryce Young’s passer rating today (32.8) was lower than if he threw every pass away (39.6). AFC North’s highest passer rating in Week 1: Justin Fields. Khalil Mack's 11.5 sacks vs Raiders are most for any player against the team that drafted him. This is the 2nd season in Saquon Barkley’s seven year career in which he has experienced at least one day being over .500. Bengals are 1-10 in Weeks 1-2 in the Zac Taylor era and 0-5 in the last 5 despite being favored in all of them. Bears’ 24-17 comeback win today was the 1st time a team overcame a 17+ point deficit without scoring an offensive TD since the 2006 Bears; they became the 1st team in history to do it having fewer than 150 total yards. Jim Harbaugh is 5-0 in season openers. Daniel Jones since his $160 million contract extension: 1-7 record, 2-8 TD-INT ratio, 156 passing yards per game, 65.1 passer rating A New Low In Blonde Jokes Three pregnant women visited a hospital to check the gender of their babies. While chatting in the waiting room, one lady said she’s sure hers is a boy because she was on the bottom during sex. The second one went ahead to say that hers will be a girl because she was on top. The third one, a blonde remarked, ‘‘Can’t wait to see my puppies! Boy oh boy. MEMPHIS-STYLE TAILGATE CHILI  Serves 8 // Hands-on 30 minutes // Total 2 hours, 30 minutes Give classic cool-weather chili a makeover with a touch of sweetness from barbecue sauce and baked beans. Once the heat from the paprika, chili powder, and cayenne hits, you’ll be thankful for the sour cream topping. 2 tablespoons canola oil 1 (2-pound) boneless pork shoulder roast (Boston butt), cut into 1-inch cubes 2 cups chopped yellow onion (from 1 large onion) 1 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon chili powder 2 teaspoons garlic powder 2 teaspoons dried oregano 2 teaspoons dry mustard 1 teaspoon celery salt 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 3 cups chicken stock 2 cups barbecue sauce (such as Stubb’s Original) 2 (15-ounce) cans navy beans, drained and rinsed 1 (15-ounce) can baked beans Toppings: sliced cabbage, sour cream, shredded Cheddar cheese Corn chips (such as Fritos) 1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high. Add half of the cubed pork roast, and cook until browned on all sides, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Drain the oil from the Dutch oven. Repeat with the remaining oil and pork. 2. Add the onion to the Dutch oven. Cook until slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the browned pork, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, mustard, celery salt, and cayenne, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the stock, barbecue sauce, navy beans, and baked beans, and bring to a boil. 3. Reduce the heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until the meat is very tender, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Top as desired, and serve with the corn chips. |
