I have no timetable on James Daniels," coach Mike McDaniel said Monday, as his team returned from the bye week that followed an overseas trip to Madrid, Spain.

The Chargers didn't have to worry about another historic comeback. This time, the Jacksonville Jaguars left no room for doubt. Unable to handle Jacksonville's ground game or its pass rush, the Chargers offered little resistance in a 35-6 defeat under blue skies at EverBank Stadium.

Crosby sits first among edge defenders in run-stop win rate (38%) and in the top-15 in pass-rush win rate (17%), which means Guyton will see a defender who wins both on early downs and when it's time to hunt the quarterback. Las Vegas sits right at league average in pass-rush win rate, ranking 17th (37%), and much can be said the same against the run where they rank 15th.

Jacoby played 13 seasons for the team now called the Washington Commanders from 1981 to 1993.
The old question of "What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?" could not be better to describe the Dallas Cowboys week eight matchup versus the Denver Broncos. Through seven weeks, the Cowboys offense ranks second in EPA/play, ninth in success rate, third in dropback EPA, and fifth in rush EPA. In the same time frame, the Broncos defense ranks fourth in EPA/play, first in success rate, third in dropback EPA, and 17th in rush EPA.
I look at it like this: When I'm a parent, I got three kids. They all go at a different rate in terms of - I have an expectation of what I think they should do and how I think they should mature.
