SEPT 12 PRAYERS FOR TUA Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was ruled out of Thursday’s 31-10 loss to the Bills after sustaining a hit to the head on a scramble in the third quarter. … and it is yet another concussion for the 26-year-old, who some think should now end his football career for his own good.
That is an issue for Tua and maybe for another day. More immediately? Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is handling it just right, posted a “prayers up” message on social media to send the message that he is thinking of the Miami quarterback right now.
SEPT 7 NOPE Did the Baltimore Ravens opened the 2024 NFL season with a 27-20 loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs because they underused their new vet running back Derrick Henry?
That’s the assertion being made by some. And it’s wrong.
In his debut with his new team, Henry ran 13 times for 46 yards and a touchdown. … but his work largely came early. Should the Ravens have used him in the late-going? Why? QB Lamar Jackson didn’t need a running back … he needed more accuracy in his clutch-time throws – and one more inch of end zone – as the Ravens ended up losing when Isaiah Likely caught the ball in the back of the end zone as time expired but his toe landed just out of bounds, meaning the pass (first ruled a TD) was incomplete.
