The Ravens signed Alexander to a one-year, $4 million contract on June 18 in a move that reunited him with his former Louisville teammate Lamar Jackson and added a fifth former first-round pick to the Baltimore secondary. But Alexander missed a chunk of training camp with a knee injury and then struggled in the Ravens' fourth-quarter collapse of season-opening 41-40 loss in Buffalo.
Since the start of the Jonathan Gannon era (2023 to now), Jacoby Brissett is the quarterback who has thrown for the most passing yards in a single game. And, he did it against the league's fourth-ranked scoring defense. So this begs the important question: why do they need Kyler Murray? He doesn't elevate his team or make the guys around him better, as proven by the embarrassing loss they suffered at the hands of the Titans.
They could've put this game away in the fourth quarter with what would've been a 72-yard touchdown by Emari Demercado. Instead, they fumbled the ball away and completely collapsed, allowing 16 unanswered points to give the Titans their first win of the season. This team isn't going anywhere this year, and everybody should be at risk of losing their job. A loss like that is unacceptable at the NFL level.
The school and the Ravens didn't give a cause of death in their announcements. "Arthur's presence was a gift to everyone he encountered," Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said. "His big, bright smile, infectious energy and eternal positivity created a presence that continuously uplifted others." Jones was a fifth-round draft pick in 2010 and had 8 1/2 of his 10 career sacks in a two-season stretch in 2012-13.
It has been over a year since the last time the Philadelphia Eagles lost a football game that quarterback Jalen Hurts started and finished. The last loss Philly had where Hurts played the full game came against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 29th, 2024. Since then, they are 20-1, with their lone loss coming at the hands of the Washington Commanders, and Hurts only threw four passes in that game before leaving with an injury.
For Andy Reid's Chiefs, the problem that dogged them throughout last season, even as they reached a third successive Super Bowl, has persisted, with quarterback Patrick Mahomes shackled by an anaemic offense. Kansas City did at least claim a first win of the season last week as they saw off the New York Giants 22-9 on the road, but that success did little to win over the doubters that are growing in number amid the Chiefs' continued struggles.
The first "Sunday Night Football" matchup of the season puts two of the AFC's top teams against each other as the Buffalo Bills host the Baltimore Ravens. They last faced off in the divisional round last season, with Buffalo winning 27-25 in a matchup that came down to the wire. Bills quarterback Josh Allen won the MVP award last season while Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson finished just behind him in the voting.
