Pittsburgh, PA

Wilson completed eight of 10 passes for 47 yards in Saturday's 9-3 preseason loss to the Bills. Wilson's stat line was underwhelming, but it overstates how well Pittsburgh's first-team offense was able to move the ball. That wasn't necessarily on Wilson, as he was under constant pressure and sacked three times. He narrowly missed out on connecting with George Pickens near Buffalo's goal line on his final drive of the game, though the duo's rapport may be lacking after Wilson missed a significant amount of training camp with a calf injury. The Steelers have consistently stated that Wilson is the starting quarterback heading into the season, though this performance didn't do him any favors in his competition with Justin Fields.

Metchie caught six of seven targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason game against the Giants. Metchie had a couple of meh showings in the Hall of Fame Game and first preseason tilt, disappointing head coach DeMeco Ryans, but he responded Saturday. Metchie led the team in targets, receptions and yards as he positioned himself behind the team's top four wideouts. He's competing against Xavier Hutchinson (two of four targets, 20 yards) and Ben Skowronek (leg) at the back end of the wide receiver depth chart.

The Steelers find themselves in a curious position ahead of the 2024 NFL season. Mike Tomlin's squad has not one but two new signal-callers in its ranks, both of whom yearn for the opportunity to open the year as Pittsburgh's unquestioned No. 1. Russell Wilson and Justin Fields took different...

The Pittsburgh Steelers faced another disappointing performance against the Buffalo Bills, suffering a 9-3 loss that left them 0-2 in the preseason. Key players like Nick Herbig and Keeanu Benton showed promise, but overall execution remained poor. Russell Wilson's offensive line struggles marred his debut, while the running game provided little spark. The team now looks to address these issues ahead of their final preseason game.

The Fight for LA was another battle of the backups at SoFi Stadium on Saturday as the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers squared off in Week 2 of the preseason. It was a low-scoring game in Inglewood, featuring only one touchdown — a 47-yard touchdown pass from Stetson Bennett to J.J. Laap in the fourth quarter.

Coming out of Tuesday's joint practice with the Philadelphia Eagles, the key takeaway was the inability of the offensive line for the New England Patriots to protect the quarterback. In competitive periods, the entire unit was soundly dominated. That has sounded the alarm bells to the ninth degree for how this offense may (or may not) function once the regular season rolls around.

Despite the downgrade, the storm remains a threat, bringing heavy rainfall and tornado watches across North Carolina. Tragically, Debby has claimed six lives, including two in Georgia. Although Debby will soon lose its tropical characteristics, the risk of flooding and tornadoes persists as it moves into other states.

The Los Angeles Rams prepare for their second preseason game against the Chargers, with key players needing to step up. Backup QB Stetson Bennett aims to improve after a shaky start, while offensive lineman Logan Bruss looks to secure his roster position with consistent performance. Linebacker Omar Speights has a chance to break into the linebacker rotation, while cornerback Tre Tomlinson must prove his worth against competition for depth. Lastly, safety Jason Taylor II needs a strong showing to validate his second-year potential in a crowded safety group.

After a promising start to his career, the Washington Commanders could cut former first-round pick Jahan Dotson after just two seasons. The 16th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft started his career by recording 35 receptions for 523 yards and seven touchdowns on 61 targets as a rookie. However, he couldn’t build on that in 2024, finishing the year with 49 receptions for 518 yards and four touchdowns on one of the most pass-happy teams in football.

The Buffalo Bills secured a 9-3 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in their second preseason game, offering both promising moments and concerns as the team gears up for the regular season.

Hooker completed 12 of 15 pass attempts for 150 yards in Saturday's preseason game against Kansas City while running for 11 yards and one touchdown on five attempts. Hooker has overcome the concussion he suffered Aug. 8 and was able to play the entire second half Saturday after Nate Sudfeld handled the first. The 2023 third-round pick out of Tennessee presumably figures into Detroit's roster plans through at least the 2024 season, but the competition with Sudfeld for the QB2 role behind Jared Goff might be ongoing. The two quarterbacks had comparable overall performances Saturday, but Hooker's 80.0 percent completion rate was markedly more efficient than Sudfeld's 51.9 percent figure.
