For the second straight week, quarterback Stetson Bennett IV took every snap of a preseason game. This time around, it went better than last weekend’s four-interception performance. Bennett completed 17 of 31 passes for 213 yards. He threw one touchdown pass and only one interception. He had a second...

The Washington Commanders told the world what they thought of Jayden Daniels by selecting him with the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft. Daniels was somewhat of a polarizing prospect heading into the draft, but with his rushing upside in mind, they couldn’t pass him up.

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.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

This came as quite the shock on early Saturday afternoon. After looking very promising in his preseason debut for the Atlanta Falcons, Michael Penix Jr. did not even dress for his new team's second game vs. the Baltimore Ravens. He was seen wearing team gear on the sidelines, just like a savvy veteran who has nothing to gain and everything to lose from playing in any exhibition contest.

Freeman (groin) rushed seven times for 32 yards in the Cowboys' 27-12 preseason win over the Raiders on Saturday night. Freeman was able to suit up after having suffered a groin injury earlier in the month, and he finished second in rushing yardage after coming into the game following starter Malik Davis. Freeman should have a solid chance of securing the No. 3 running back job given his experience, as well as the fact Davis didn't exactly impress with his starting opportunity Saturday (five carries, 14 yards).

The Olympics are coming to Los Angeles in four years. When that happens, flag football will be an official event, for the first time ever. That development has caused plenty of NFL players to propose horning in on the action. A recent promo had Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts throwing a flaming ball over the cauldron at the top of the L.A. Coliseum.

Antonio Pierce said earlier this week he hoped to name the Raiders' starting quarterback after facing off against the Cowboys. He just didn't say how long after. Following the preseason contest, a 27-12 loss in which neither Gardner Minshew nor incumbent Aidan O'Connell made much of a statement, Pierce has given himself a few more days to evaluate.
