The Seattle Seahawks great and former Denver Broncos quarterback left the Broncos on bad terms after he was benched by Sean Payton with two weeks left in the 2023 regular season.

This was an odd Philadelphia Eagles defensive performance to assess, as it was far from perfect on a down-to-down basis, but full of big plays that swung the game.

The Utah Jazz enter this season with a lot less question marks than in years past. This offseason, Austin Ainge finally traded Jordan Clarkson, Collin Sexton, and John Collins which has freed up the minutes for their youth to play and develop.
