Dwayne Haskins to make first start on Sunday

Well so much for whatever already-remote chance the Deadskins had of pulling the upset.

Wonder how Flores said that (about winning) with a straight face. Must have been hard.

The #Chiefs move to activate backup QB Chad Henne is an indication that it’ll be another week for QB Patrick Mahomes. The team will work him out pre-game and see how it goes, but at this point, the plan is for Matt Moore to start tomorrow, I’m told.

Kicker move: The #Titans have added kicker Ryan Succop to the team’s 53-man roster off IR and he’ll play vs the #Panthers. They waived K Cody Parkey. DB Joshua Kalu was also added to the roster today.

From @gmfb: No coaching changes for the #Falcons during the bye this weekend, per me and my editor @RapSheet.

is he the biggest free agent bust of this past season?

Maybe, if you don’t count Antonio Brown, who actually ended up as a free agent bust for two different teams.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

is he the biggest free agent bust of this past season?

Could be, especially considering how many wrs thrive in that offense

Someone needs to explain P.R. to him. His first lesson needs to be learning the difference between being brutally honest and being a defensive ****head.

Yes, that's in his job description. But a distinction lost on many, and he certainly doesn't seem to be surrounded with role models to learn from. Just screams "entitled, coddled athlete."

It seems Brandin Cooks is seeking concussion specialists, he already suffered 2 this season and some in the past.

God knows how much I hate concussions.

Word on Sunday morning was that the Chiefs would make Patrick Mahomes inactive for Sunday’s game against the Vikings and those reports were on the mark.

Mahomes is out for the second straight week as he recovers from the dislocated kneecap he suffered against the Broncos in Week Seven. Mahomes had been listed as questionable to play after taking part in all three days of practice during the week.

Matt Moore will make another start for the Chiefs. Moore was 24-of-36 for 267 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday’s loss to the Packers.
