What do George Kittle, Travis Kelce, and T. J. Hockenson all have in common? They’re in a celebratory mood, since their position group is getting some extra love on National Tight Ends Day.
That’s right, the most overlooked skill position group in the game is getting some well-deserved recognition for what they provide their teams. After all, would San Francisco’s run game be as effective if Kittle doesn’t selflessly block for his backs? Would Kansas City’s offense be nearly as potent without Kelce? Successful teams often don’t get by without a legitimately dangerous tight end.

Alabama rallied for a big win at home over Tennessee in a hard-fought battle between two ranked SEC teams on Saturday.
The biggest hit of the day might have come well after the game was over, as a security guard was seen absolutely laying out some fan who wandered onto the field.
As we saw in Philadelphia a few days ago during the NLCS, running onto a field can come with some very painful consequences.
This fan in Alabama learned that lesson on Saturday, and it looked like the security guard had a fun time providing that lesson.
The Colts rolled out their alternate ‘Indiana Nights’ jerseys on Sunday against the Browns, and the dark-blue look didn’t exactly resonate with all NFL fans. If anything, it was much of the opposite, as social media quickly ramped up to provide a widespread amount of trolling after the first clip of quarterback Gardner Minshew wearing them was revealed.
The jerseys are described by Colts’ official site as, “Decades of tradition” meeting “a new, bolder look inspired by the blue and black of the Indiana night skies.
Pat McAfee has been a mainstay on ESPN’s flagship Saturday morning show College GameDay for the last two seasons.
The expectation was that the arrangement between McAfee and GameDay would continue, especially after McAfee signed a lucrative contract with ESPN earlier this year.
Chris Vannini of The Athletic ran a poll for a story on the site that revealed that 48.9% don’t like McAfee on GameDay. McAfee, referencing that poll, released a statement that casts doubt over his future with the show.

Bears quarterback Justin Fields may not be sidelined for long after suffering a dislocated thumb in the team’s 19-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 6, according to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer.
During the third quarter of Bears-Vikings game, Fields was scrambling to his left before he was sacked from behind by Vikings outside linebacker Danielle Hunter. After Hunter brought Fields to the ground, it appeared that he landed on Fields’s right hand.
Ahead of Week 7 action on Sunday, Glazer said the Bears’ quarterback likely avoided a major injury in last week’s contest.

Bill Belichick is inarguably one of the greatest football coaches of all time. But 2023 is shaping up to be the worst season of his storied career.
Once a perennial Super Bowl contender, Belichick’s New England Patriots are 1-5. They’re off to their worst start since 1995 — well before Bill took over. Worse, the Pats are in the middle of a three-game losing streak, during which they’ve scored only 20 points and are four games behind the AFC East-leading Miami Dolphins.
In other words, these aren’t your daddy’s Patriots.
Michigan is the best team in college football through the first eight weeks of the season and there isn’t a close second best.
