Phillip Lindsay wound up being the main ball carrier for the Denver Broncos in their 45-10 blowout of the Arizona Cardinals Thursday night, but it doesn’t change how the running back views his role on the team.

The Atlanta Falcons have a far better red-zone offense than a year ago. That isn’t happening by accident, according to tight end Austin Hooper, who has been one of the Falcons’ most impactful pass catchers with nine receptions in each of the past two weeks.

Paul Allen’s life, personally and professionally, will be defined by so much that goes well beyond his owning an NFL team. Yet, during his time at the top of the Seattle Seahawks organization, Allen made an indelible mark on everyone involved with the team.

The Arizona Cardinals wish their record was much better than 1-4, but they must be pleased with the results of their offseason search for a No. 2 wide receiver behind Larry Fitzgerald. The Cardinals made Christian Kirk, a former Texas A&M standout, their second-round draft pick to fill that role and his performance so far has been impressive.

In their comeback from serious injuries, Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt and quarterback Deshaun Watson are doing much more than simply rounding into form. Both are progressing in ways that are highly encouraging to their coach, Bill O’Brien.

The Seattle Seahawks received a major blow with the season-ending broken leg suffered by veteran safety Earl Thomas. Now, it’s time for the Seahawks to turn to younger members of their secondary to pick up the slack.

As incredible as Patrick Mahomes’ start to the 2018 season has been, there’s reason to believe it can be even better. At least, that’s what Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston believes after watching Mahomes lead the Chiefs to a 27-23 comeback victory against the Denver Broncos Monday night.

What has done as much as anything to help keep the Los Angeles Rams’ offensive dominance rolling is the scheme of coach Sean McVay, who has the offense doing plenty of moving before the snap and operating at a fast pace.

Three of the four teams in the NFC South are 2-1, making it the division with the most clubs with winning records. That doesn’t surprise New Orleans Saints defensive end Cam Jordan, whose team is among the clubs in the division with winning marks. He saw the NFC South as presenting every bit as much strength in 2017, with a pair of 11-5 teams (the Saints and Carolina Panthers) and a 10-6 club (the Atlanta Falcons).

Dean Blandino thinks the NFL has made it too complicated for officials to determine what is or isn’t a roughing-the-passer penalty. The league’s former head of officiating, now a rules analyst for Fox Sports, said language that was previously in place should be restored because it is what most of the 17 referees the NFL employees understand best.

Tyler Lockette had to run the route properly and make the catch and run to the end zone. And Russell Wilson had to do his part in delivering the throw on time and on target. But it also was the decision to dial up the pass that resulted in Lockette’s 52-yard touchdown to help the Seattle Seahawks beat the Dallas Cowboys, 24-13, Sunday that impressed the veteran receiver so much.

For Jason Kelce, having those familiar hands under his butt Sunday meant all was right with the world. Not that the Philadelphia Eagles center had any problem with Nick Foles as the team’s quarterback. But Carson Wentz’s return to his starting spot after suffering a torn ACL late last season was something to celebrate, along with the Eagles’ 20-16 victory against the Indianapolis Colts.

Arizona Cardinals coach Steve Wilks isn’t saying when rookie quarterback Josh Rosen will be a starter. But what Wilks will say is that Rosen is showing some good things in the work he does in practice, including getting some repetitions with the starters.

Not only does Bruce Gradkowski recognize Antonio Brown’s considerable talent, he also sees his ability to mean so much more to the team than just putting up big numbers. And that’s why Gradkowski thinks Brown should recognize that he should be the last player to not show up at the facility the Monday after a game, as Brown did this week following the Pittsburgh Steelers’ loss against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Carolina Panthers expect an enormous challenge Sunday when they face the Cincinnati Bengals. Not only do the Bengals bring a 2-0 record into the game against the 1-1 Panthers, but they also bring an offense that has the talent and scheme to give any opposing defense fits.

What’s the reaction when a play like the one for which Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews was penalized shows up on the screen? “There’s definitely some eye-rolling that goes on, other than (from) the quarterbacks, obviously,” Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn told Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan on Movin’ The Chains.

Beating the Seattle Seahawks, 24-17, at Soldier Field Monday night for their first victory of the season carried a larger impact beyond the won-loss column for the Chicago Bears. As far as wide receiver Taylor Gabriel was concerned, it was an ideal time and place to showcase the new and improved Bears under first-year coach Matt Nagy.

Dante Fowler is realistic about the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 31-20 victory against the New England Patriots Sunday. Although it was a rematch of the teams in the 2017 AFC Championship Game, the winner did not advance to the Super Bowl.

Chris Thompson can’t deny being awestruck when he suddenly found himself a teammate of a childhood hero after Adrian Peterson joined the Washington Redskins. Now that they’re part of the same offensive backfield, they are using their respective skills to complement each other in an effort to help the Redskins succeed.

It isn’t only 13-plus years of experience that Ryan Fitzpatrick has going for him in his role as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ starting quarterback. It’s also the ability to deliver difference-making plays, as he did in throwing for 417 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Bucs to their stunning 48-40 victory in last Sunday’s season-opener against the New Orleans Saints.

Aaron Rodgers is touted as the hero for the Green Bay Packers’ remarkable comeback victory against the Chicago Bears Sunday night, and no one would dispute that. After leaving the field in the second quarter with a knee injury, Rodgers not only returned in the third quarter but even while clearly hobbling he still managed to lead the Packers from a 20-0 deficit to a 24-23 victory. He threw for 286 yards and three touchdowns. But it was his final scoring throw, a 75-yard connection with Randall Cobb, that decided the outcome. And Cobb’s role in the play can’t be overlooked.

Don’t get Vance Joseph wrong. He’s thrilled that his Denver Broncos opened the season with a victory. It’s just that the Broncos’ coach knew, based on what the stat sheet reflected, his team could have done better than just get by the Seattle Seahawks, 27-24.

On some level, the Cleveland Browns had to view Sunday’s 21-21 season-opening tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers as a plus. After all, the Browns were 0-16 last year and 1-15 in 2016. Avoiding a loss out of the gate had to be viewed as progress, right?

The biggest disappointment for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season was their 5-11 finish. On top of that, however, there was the frustration players such as wide receiver DeSean Jackson felt over the inability to consistently make the game-changing big plays he and the rest of the Bucs’ passing game were capable of producing.

After signing a contract extension with the Detroit Lions that makes him one of the highest-paid safeties in the NFL, Quandre Diggs wanted to make one thing clear. He will not be seeing himself any differently than he did before signing the three-year deal reportedly worth up to $20.4 million.

Now that he’s 41 years old, Tom Brady is seen as entering overtime of a career in which he has established himself as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. Some people thought he should, and even expected he would, have walked away after another MVP and Super Bowl season last year.

Former NFL General Manager Mark Dominik wasn’t the least bit surprised by the monster, six-year, $135-million contract the Los Angeles Rams gave defensive tackle Aaron Donald Friday. While co-hosting on the SiriusXM Blitz, Dominik said he saw the annual average of $22.5 million as being right what he thought it would be.

Tyler Lockett and Paul Richardson are still friends even if they’re no longer teammates. But when they were teammates for the Seattle Seahawks, the receivers had an understanding that one of them would likely remain while the other went elsewhere. In March, Richardson signed a free-agent deal with the Washington Redskins. On Wednesday, Lockett, who has doubled as a highly effective returner, signed a three-year, $31.8 million contract extension with the Seahawks.

Former offensive tackle Mark Tauscher, who was Aaron Rodgers’ teammate for the last six of his 11 seasons with the Packers (2000-2010), has seen this movie before. He was a rookie with the Packers when Rodgers’ predecessor, Brett Favre, signed a long-term deal that presumably would keep him in Green Bay forever. Then he watched him play for two other teams before retiring.

It won’t happen overnight. The NFL knew that from the very beginning when it put in its new rule banning the lowering of helmet before contact. Everyone involved in the game is going to face challenges dealing with it, something that has already been seen during the preseason. But Atlanta Falcons president Rich McKay, chairman of the league’s Competition Committee, believes the coaching, the playing and officiating will all find their way to a level of efficiency that should make controversy surrounding the rule dissipate in time.

Among those who had to have been pleased to see Cincinnati receiver John Ross on the other end of a 57-yard touchdown bomb in Sunday’s preseason game against Buffalo was someone who himself once caught passes for the Bengals. But T.J. Houshmandzadeh wasn’t merely happy for a member for the team on which he spent eight of his 11 NFL seasons. His reaction was more along the lines of a teacher seeing a student apply what he learned.

And it was while he was driving home from the facility of the Dallas Cowboys, with whom he built an iconic career as a player-personnel chief, that Brandt received a phone call Thursday informing him that he had been chosen as a contributor candidate — along with Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen — for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Josh Allen’s start in Sunday’s preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals — the third and typically the tune-up for the regular season — seems to strongly indicate that he will keep the job for the Sept. 9 opener at Baltimore. But along the way, the Bills have had something that General Manager Brandon Beane said has been exceptional: three QBs who have been cohesive in Allen, Nathan Peterman and AJ McCarron.

This week, the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks kicked the tires on free-agent defensive end Junior Galette. The Oakland Raiders did so last March. Galette, who previously turned down an offer from the Rams because he opted to take care of his sick mother, is still searching.

Coaches, players, fans and media are weighing in largely with a dim view of both the all-encompassing nature of the NFL’s new rule that prohibits all players from lowering their head upon making contact and the aggressive manner in which it is being enforced. Even with all of the controversy, however, former league vice president of officiating Mike Pereira doesn’t believe it will be a problem once the regular season begins.

Before last season, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ quarterback had to do a major overhaul of his mechanics. The repairs paid off in helping Bortles lead the Jaguars all the way to the AFC Championship Game. Through the offseason and during the Jaguars’ training camp this summer, Bortles has been able to concentrate more on smaller, but no less important, details to sharpen his play even further. He and the Jaguars are hoping for an even larger pay off this season.

As Jon Gruden wrapped up the first training camp since his return to head-coaching after nine years away from the sidelines, he’s certain of one thing. The practice hours logged by his Oakland Raiders are second to none in the NFL. Now, he hopes that will translate well once they begin playing games that count.

The Pittsburgh Steelers finished 13-3 last season. Although they fell short of the Super Bowl, the Steelers demonstrated their typical dominance. And this year doesn’t appear to be any different.

To say John Mara is cautiously optimistic about the New York Giants’ offseason would be an understatement. The New York Giants’ co-owner won’t allow himself to get caught up in the mostly positive reviews the team has received for an offseason in which it seemed to make a pair of strong hires in General Manager Dave Gettleman and coach John Mara, did solid drafting, and had good attendance for voluntary workouts.

The parameters have pretty well been set. Thanks largely to the five-year, $30-million contract extension quarterback Matt Ryan recently signed with the Atlanta Falcons, the Green Bay Packers now figure to have a clearer path to getting a similar deal done with their quarterback, Aaron Rodgers.

The NFL’s head of officiating doesn’t want the league’s ever-increasing efforts to make the game safer to be misunderstood. Yes, the NFL has revamped the rules for the kickoff that reduce the speed and space in which the play is made — effectively making it more closely resemble a punt — with the elimination of double-team blocking and the wedge.

Baker Mayfield knows all about the stigma attached to being an NFL team appearing on the HBO series Hard Knocks. All of those cameras and microphones capturing practically everything you do and say during training camp. To say the least, it all can be more than a little distracting.

It’s Nyheim Hines’ nature to try to get a jump on things, so the running back wasted no time looking at his iPad containing the Indianapolis Colts’ offensive playbook before the team’s recent rookie minicamp.
