Aaron Rodgers now has great Jets blindside bodyguard he needs
NY Post
This time, it is a future first-ballot Hall of Fame left tackle who will be protecting the crown jewel, the future first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback.
And because the future first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback is back with a 40-year-old Achilles that betrayed him last season, Tyron Smith becomes the Most Indispensable Jet not named Aaron Rodgers.
Joe Namath is forever grateful to his late Hall of Fame LT Winston Hill for keeping him standing tall enough en route to the Jets’ Super Bowl III championship and beyond.
“He personally saved my life many, many times,” Namath said once.
And he also said this: “I don’t remember Winston ever getting beat by someone. He never let us down. Winston was The Man.”
D’Brickashaw Ferguson was The Man on the blindside for a decade. Mekhi Becton was not The Man. Duane Brown was not The Man.
With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there’s some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll. But they did raise serious doubt and leave room for suggestions (and even ridicule) following maybe the most inexplicable decision of this season, or any season.
The Giants have never been 0-2 under Brian Daboll, until now. They were 2-0 and flying high in 2022 and 1-1 after a rousing comeback in Arizona in 2023. So, this represents a low point as far as early-season difficulties for Daboll and the Giants. They had no business beating the Vikings in the opener and no business losing to the Commanders in Week 2. But here they are.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Harrison Butker kept making a lonely walk to midfield after each quarter Sunday to check on the direction of the wind, which tends to swirl inside Arrowhead Stadium. He did it one last time during the 2-minute warning, when his Chiefs were trailing the Bengals by two and trying to give him a winning field-goal attempt.
