Brady's Ravens meeting will take place then, while NFL.com's Ian Rapoport adds the Falcons will also meet with Brady about their HC post. Brady has now been connected to the Dolphins, Falcons and Ravens' HC positions. A Falcons connection would have formed previously, with ex-Atlanta GM Terry Fontenot in New Orleans when Brady worked on Sean Payton 's staff. But the Falcons fired Fontenot earlier this month.
Based on the slate of games for the weekend, the assumption has been that the Chargers are their likeliest opponents. Other than having the tall task of needing to beat the Broncos at Mile High Stadium, Jim Harbaugh has already stated that QB Justin Herbert won't be suiting up on Sunday, and it might be fair to assume other starters will sit out, too.
"If you're going to get down to the 1, you might as well get in," said tight end Dallas Goedert, his smile widening. "Because otherwise, you know how we're going to get in." That would be by way of Jalen Hurts, churning in on a wave of momentum generated by his road-grading offensive line, a healthy dose of lower-body strength and, of course, a push of the tush.
Top linebackers like tackling machine, Robert Spillane, who'd averaged more than 150 tackles the previous two seasons, and the emerging linebacker, Christian Elliss, missed tackles all over the yard in the first few games. They looked like they had goose grease on their hands as they missed tackle after tackle, helping to lose to the Raiders and Pittsburgh in two eminently winnable games.
Josh Allen recorded a season-high three rushing touchdowns -- and three passing TDs, for good measure -- in the Buffalo Bills' 44-32 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11, giving him 75 for his career. Only three times in NFL history, including the postseason, has a quarterback had three passing and three rushing touchdowns. Allen has done it twice (last year in a Week 14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams), and Otto Graham did it in 1954.
The Bears now have five wins this season after trailing in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter, tied for the most in a season since the 1970 merger, according to ESPN Research. Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams has five game-winning drives in the fourth quarter this season, the most in a season by a Bears quarterback since the merger.
