Sources: NFL special teams coordinators are meeting in the next hour to clarify a kickoff rule that some teams are believed to have misunderstood — or found a loophole in — through the first two weeks of the season. The NFL allows a 12th player on the field to hold the ball on kickoffs, but teams including the Eagles last week and Falcons in Week 1 used that extra player to hold the ball without a tee, giving the kicker a different launch angle to create a more difficult “dirty” kick and potential field-position advantage. The clarification coming today: If a 12th player is used to hold the ball, the ball must still be placed on a tee. My understanding is that the clarification may not be fully enforced for this week’s games.

Asked a 20+ year NFL scout for his take on Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith’s signature performance: “Calvin Johnson, Julio, Fitz, he’s got elements of all their games. He really shouldn’t be able to run such precise routes at that size. Just a total freak of nature.”

It’s not just the 200 yards and 4 TDs for Jeremiah Smith — it’s wild routes like these, at 6-4, 220, that make him such a special prospect

Hat trick for Jeremiah Smith, who has 6-132-3 and we’re still in the first half! 🫡

Jeremiah Smith is a video game! 🎮🤯

🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

My sources telling me the Falcons cooked this one up week 1. Great idea by them and nice job by Eagles copying when they saw it!

I asked #Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan to build his perfect WR: • Speed: Tyreek Hill ⚡ • Hands: Larry Fitzgerald 🧲 • Release: Davante Adams 🔓 • After the catch: Ja’Marr Chase 💨 • Toughness: Steve Smith Sr. 💪 That’s a 99 overall WR to me.

#Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. started 1/5 with an INT. After that? 🔴17/20 ⚫️239 yards 🔴1 TD ⚫️0 INTs Atlanta had 500+ yards of total offense in the win over the Packers.

Bijan Robinson is truly 1-of-1.

#Falcons RB Bijan Robinson in the first half: ⚫️ 16 touches 🔴 128 yards ⚫️ 1 TD

#Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan believes Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson are the best CB duo in the NFL and going up against them makes Sundays much easier for him. 💪💪

Ja'Marr Chase called out the NFL today over its ridiculous fines for player celebrations and urged players to come together with the NFLPA to fight them. “The superstars have to get in with NFLPA and fight for our money.” 🗣️🗣️

I think the #Bengals’ defense is the biggest success story of this young NFL season so far. 🔒🐅

I believe we will be talking about #Saints QB Tyler Shough as one of the best young QBs in the NFL by the end of this season 📝

The #Chiefs deserve all the praise for signing RB Kenneth Walker, but what should be talked about more is how it looks like they hit a grand slam with their 2026 draft class. 👀 This is how elite teams stay elite.
