WATCH: Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson rumbles for score vs Seahawks

Rhamondre Stevenson scored his second touchdown of the season.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson recorded 36 rushing yards on a go-ahead Patriots touchdown drive in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.

He was able to conclude the drive with a touchdown, giving the Patriots a 20-17 lead following the extra point. The drive took 11 plays, 66 yards and 6:20 off the clock. Nevertheless, it was not enough to win the game, as the Seahawks were able to come back and claim a 23-20 victory.

It was on this drive that Stevenson began to get into a rhythm. He was able to establish his dominance, as he weaved his way around the Seahawks’ defense. He found the end zone via a direct snap for his second touchdown of the season.

In just two games, Stevenson is already looking like the 2022 version of himself, when he rushed for 1,000 yards in a season. He’s well on his way to another prolific year with 200 rushing yards and two touchdowns already under his belt.

Chiefs vs. Bengals: Patrick Mahomes, Rashee Rice connect for 44 yard TD

#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes found WR Rashee Rice for a 44 yard touchdown against the Cincinnati #Bengals in Week 2.

The Kansas City Chiefs are in a close matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals and are doing their best to earn a 2-0 start to their regular season campaign.

The Bengals’ offense marched down the field early in the game, scoring a field goal and touchdown on their first two drives, but Kansas City was quick to respond.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs’ offense to two scoring drives, and on Kansas City’s third possession, he found second-year wide receiver Rashee Rice for a 44-yard touchdown to even the score at 10.

Take a look at this video of the play, which was posted by the Chiefs’ official Twitter account:

If plays like this become routine for Mahomes and Rice, Cincinnati’s defense is in for a long game.

As the halftime whistle approaches, look for Mahomes to continue targeting the former SMU Mustang as much as possible in the absence of wide receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown.

 

Watch: Commanders QB Jayden Daniels amazingly escape potential sack vs. Giants

Jayden Daniels showing off his escapability here.

On their first drive against the New York Giants, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels and the offense were on the field for nine minutes and 36 seconds before ending the drive with a short Austin Seibert field goal to take an early 3-0 lead.

It was a disappointing drive that began with an Austin Ekeler kickoff return for a touchdown, which was called due to linebacker Nick Bellore’s holding penalty.

On the first drive, Daniels completed all six of his passes. The drive almost stalled early when the Giants pressured Daniels, but somehow, he escaped.

Here is Daniels escaping what would have been a huge loss.

We aren’t sure why the flag-happy officials didn’t tack on 15 yards for Bobby Okereke’s hit at the end. That was a clear miss.

Chiefs DB Jaylen Watson showed off sticky coverage vs Ravens

#Chiefs DB Jaylen Watson showed off his exceptional coverage ability in Kansas City’s Week 1 win over the Baltimore #Ravens.

Jaylen Watson has been a standout for the Kansas City Chiefs at the cornerback position since being drafted in 2022, and he put together a stellar showing against the Baltimore Ravens last week.

After being placed on the physically injured list over the summer and missing this preseason, Watson returned to the field last Thursday and helped keep reigning MVP Lamar Jackson in check.

Though the overall performance of Kansas City’s defense was a group effort, the sticky coverage that Watson played against Baltimore’s receivers was a huge advantage for Steve Spagnuolo.

The Chiefs’ official Twitter account posted footage of one pass defended by Watson against Baltimore, which he capably swatted away just in time to end one of the Ravens’ drives in the third quarter.

Kansas City’s quest to complete an ever-elusive three-peat will continue on Sunday when the Chiefs face off against the Cincinnati Bengals, who lost to the New England Patriots in Week 1.

Chiefs LB Nick Bolton was mic’d up during crucial play vs. Ravens

Check out this video of #Chiefs LB Nick Bolton mic’d up during Kansas City’s win over the Baltimore #Ravens last week.

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton has already been part of two Super Bowl victories in his career and will help his team in its effort to win a third consecutive championship this season.

A 2021 draft pick from Missouri, Bolton has been productive with the Chiefs, logging 359 combined tackles and 2 sacks since his start in the NFL.

One of the most impactful players on Kansas City’s defense, the standout linebacker was mic’d up when he made another tackle in a key moment against the Baltimore Ravens last week.

Check out this video of Bolton hyping himself up for a huge play in the red zone that could have led to a Ravens score and threatened the Chiefs’ chances at victory.

At the end of the play, Bolton exclaims “That’s game!” which is something Kansas City’s fans can look forward to hearing in the future as the Chiefs continue working towards their ultimate goal of a Super Bowl three-peat.

The season continues for Kansas City on Sunday when the Chiefs play the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2 action.

WATCH: Kyle Dugger robs Bengals touchdown with forced fumble

This was an incredible heads-up play by Kyle Dugger

It has been clear from the very beginning that defense was going to be the calling card for the New England Patriots this season. The unit proved that to be true on Sunday, as Kyle Dugger made a solid play to halt a potential touchdown drive by the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Bengals were driving towards the end zone and looked to be on the verge of scoring their first touchdown of the game. However, Dugger ripped the football out of the hands of tight end Tanner Hudson, and it was recovered by Marcus Jones.

The offensive drive following the fumble ended in a field goal by Joey Syle. It extended New England’s lead to 10-0 and gave the team momentum heading into halftime.

The first half of the game looked promising for the Patriots in what many have viewed as a rebuilding year for the team. It was particularly impressive considering the Bengals are a team many view as a likely playoff contender.

WATCH: Rhamondre Stevenson rumbles for first touchdown of season

Rhamondre Stevenson waltzed into the end zone for the Patriots’ first touchdown of the season

The New England Patriots scored their first touchdown of the season on a lengthy drive that took over seven minutes. It was an effective drive that ended with running back Rhamondre Stevenson waltzing into the end zone for a touchdown.

The drive itself amounted to 14 plays and 80 yards, and took 7:20 off the clock.

Stevenson was able to find the end zone, rumbling his way in for a touchdown to give New England a 7-0 lead following the extra point. It was the first touchdown of the season, as New England was able to assert their offensive dominance early in the game.

The Patriots made it clear from the start that they wanted to run the football and control the line of scrimmage. They want to establish a more physical style of offense.

As long as they can avoid turnovers and lean on their defense, while also running the ball effectively on offense, they will be competitive in games.

WATCH: Tyler Van Dyke throws first touchdown pass in Wisconsin uniform

WATCH: Tyler Van Dyke throws first touchdown pass in Wisconsin uniform

Wisconsin is off to a fast start in Week 2 against South Dakota.

The Badgers now lead 14-0 with five minutes remaining in the first quarter, the lead recently extended by an impressive touchdown drive.

The story of the offense’s general struggles against Western Michigan in Week 1 was a lack of explosive plays. That has already been reversed, with QB Tyler Van Dyke already connecting on passes for 22, 32 and 50 yards.

The exclamation point on the strong start was his 50-yard touchdown pass to WR C.J. Williams. The veteran quarterback faked an RPO handoff to Chez Mellusi, began to run around the edge, then pulled up and threw to a wide-open Williams streaking down the field.

https://twitter.com/CFBONFOX/status/1832510281026588755

The touchdown pass is Van Dyke’s first in a Wisconsin uniform. He only found the end zone with his legs during the Badgers Week 1 win.

It’s early, but Van Dyke and the Badgers offense already looks much-improved after Week 1.

Film shows Travis Kelce, Chiefs OL manhandled Roquan Smith on Xavier Worthy touchdown

Travis Kelce and the #Chiefs’ offensive line manhandled #Ravens LB Roquan Smith to help Xavier Worthy’s score his first NFL touchdown.

The Kansas City Chiefs earned the first win of the 2024 regular season against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night.

Rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy stole the show with a two-touchdown performance, and upon reviewing the film from the powerhouse matchup, it seems that he had plenty of help from his teammates during his first scoring play.

In a video posted to Twitter by user @FDuffyNFL, tight end Travis Kelce and the Chiefs offensive line can be seen bullying Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith to spring Worthy free for the six-point score.

Take a look at the play below to see Smith, who wears No. 0 for Baltimore, get absolutely manhandled:

Smith seemed a bit angry during the Ravens’ postgame press conference, and this play may have been the moment that set him off.

Expect to see Kelce and Kansas City’s offensive line continue creating space for ball carriers during the Chiefs’ Week 2 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on September 15.

Xavier Worthy blows by Ravens defense for second NFL touchdown

#Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy scored his second touchdown of the night against the #Ravens on this outstanding play in the fourth quarter.

The Kansas City Chiefs wasted no time giving rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy scoring opportunities in their first regular season game.

After two scoreless drives, quarterback Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs’ offense down the field early in the fourth quarter of Thursday’s game.

Mahomes utilized the Chiefs’ depth on offense to spread the ball to his playmakers and took a hard hit on the sideline before finding speedster Worthy for the receiver’s second touchdown of the game.

Take a look at this video of Worthy’s 35-yard touchdown, which was posted by the Chiefs on Twitter:

The Chiefs had high expectations of the former Texas Longhorn after he ran the fastest 40-yard dash in NFL Combine history, and the team is putting his skills to good use against Baltimore.

Thursday’s performance by Worthy should give Chiefs fans confidence that the rookie can be a productive member of head coach Andy Reid’s offense.
