For the second time in the past four weeks, the Atlanta Falcons replaced veteran Kirk Cousins with rookie Michael Penix at quarterback. 
In both games, the Falcons got completely blasted by their opponents. In Week 7, they lost to Seattle 34-14. 
Penix replaced Cousins late in the contest and only threw one pass. 
But Sunday, the Denver Broncos took a 38-6 lead with nine minutes left in the game. Atlanta head coach Raheem Morris then went to the rookie to give Penix an extended chance to play in an NFL game. 
Penix went 2-for-4 passing for 24 yards. He also took a sack.

Sitting the past couple weeks might seems to have helped Richardson, who threw and ran the ball well on Sunday and is already back looking like the Colts’ QB of the future.

Nix threw for 307 yards and four touchdowns to help keep the Broncos in control of the final playoff berth in the AFC.

We’ve all seen the Philadelphia Eagles run the “Brotherly Shove;” that ethically-questionable, consistently effective play where it seems like they get literally everyone on the team to shove quarterback Jalen Hurts forward.
If you’re an Eagles fan, you love it. If you’re anyone else (and especially an opposing d-lineman) this play is wildly frustrating. Should the NFL ban it? No. Is it still almost impossible to stop and therefore the ban of the existence of 31 defenses. Yes.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton had to do some damage control after posting a comment on Instagram, which some saw as a shot at the franchise.
Former Giants cornerback Nick McCloud posted a photo of himself wearing his new threads for the San Francisco 49ers. 
In the comments, Slayton said, “Free man,” which was picked up by Giants fans on X and regarded as a sign that Slayton wanted out of East Rutherford.

Phil Longo’s time at Wisconsin is over.
Wisconsin Badgers head coach Luke Fickell announced Sunday night that the team’s offensive coordinator had been fired following a 16-13 loss to the Oregon Ducks.
“This morning, I informed Phil Longo that he will no longer serve as our offensive coordinator. After continuing to evaluate the program, I decided we are not where we need to be and believe this decision is in the best interest of the team. I appreciate Phil’s commitment to helping us build our program over the past two seasons and wish him well moving forward.
