Justin Fields has gotten off to a rough start so far in his third NFL season, and things won’t likely get any easier for the Bears QB this week when he leads his 0-2 team into Kansas City to face Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
While Fields addressed his struggles on Wednesday and spoke about a new mindset he’s going to take heading into Week 3, he might want to listen to what Mahomes said about him when reporters asked the two-time Super Bowl champ about Fields’s early struggles this season.

It’s Week 3! Some of the top teams in the league are favored by double digits (Cowboys, Chiefs, 49ers) or close to it (Jaguars). The games expected to be most competitive include some of the NFC’s seven undefeated teams. Two of those teams are underdogs on the road: the Falcons in Detroit and the Saints in Green Bay. The only battle between unbeatens will take place in Philadelphia, where the Eagles will face the Buccaneers on Monday night.
On the other end of the spectrum, the Vikings will square off against the Chargers in a battle of teams looking to avoid 0–3 starts.
Vanderbilt is commemorating a 2008 bowl victory this weekend, and football fans aren’t impressed.
The Commodores announced the program will “celebrate the 15th anniversary of our 2008 Music City Bowl Champions” this weekend.
Vanderbilt finished the 2008 season 7-6, and won its first bowl game since 1955. Apparently, winning the Music City Bowl is worthy of commemoration like it’s a bowl game that matters (spoiler: it doesn’t).
Braelon Allen has no idea why he’s not getting the ball more.
The Badgers star’s role seems to have been incredibly limited through three games compared to what it was in previous years, and he didn’t get a single carry in the first quarter against Georgia Southern.
Fans watching the Badgers can’t help but wonder why one of the best running backs in America seems to not be a huge part of the game plan.
You know who else is wondering that? Braelon Allen, and he has absolutely no idea what’s going on with the schemes and game plan.
“I don’t know.
The PAC-12 and Mountain West Conference are considering a relegation model that has never happened before in college football.
Currently, the only two PAC-12 teams without landing spots in 2024 are Washington State and Oregon State. The top option appears to be some kind of merger with the MWC. What that exactly looks like remains unknown, but a never-before-attempted relegation model is being discussed, according to Yahoo Sports.
Relegation doesn’t exist in college sports, and is mostly unheard of in America. Yet, the PAC-12 and MWC are open to it.
Trent Dilfer thinks playing under the lights in an SEC stadium is better than the Super Bowl.
Dilfer and the UAB Blazers play Georgia in Athens Saturday night, and the former NFL passer and Super Bowl champion is ready to roll.
Not only is he ready to roll, but he thinks SEC night games are a better atmosphere than the Super Bowl.
“An SEC atmosphere at night is way better than the Super Bowl. I think it’s the second-coolest thing I have ever been to as a spectator…It’s the coolest thing I have ever been able to go to, in live sports.

The Raiders and Derek Carr didn’t separate on the best terms ahead of the 2023 season.
Las Vegas released the quarterback back in February after benching him towards the end of last season, and Carr later admitted that he was “very upset” and “mad” about what happened.
Despite some hard feelings there, Carr seems to have decided to let all that go after he began the 2023 season as the Saints starting quarterback. Carr told ESPN that he reached out to Raiders coach Josh McDaniels after the team’s Week 1 win over the Broncos.
