Bryce Petty and the Jets stormed back after falling behind 29-3 at the half, scoring three touchdowns in the final two quarters, but a failed two-point conversion attempt late in the fourth quarter doomed the comeback attempt in a 32-31 preseason loss to the Giants on Saturday Box score Petty, who left in the second half with a knee injury, was 15-for-18 and threw for 250 yards and three touchdowns in relief of Christian Hackenberg. Hackenberg returned after Petty's injury and finished 12 for 21 with a touchdown and two interceptions. Veteran quarterback Josh McCown did not play. Matt Forte had 10 carries for 43 yards and two catches for one yard, while Bilal Powell had a big day receiving, Continue to Article

Former NFL quarterback and current CBS analyst Boomer Esiason experienced some tough times with the Jets and thinks this year's iteration will also struggle on the field. The Jets, who play the final game of their preseason slate on Thursday night against the Eagles, are expected to be in competition for a top draft slot in next year's draft. "It's going to be a long year," he told reporters Wednesday, according to Newsday. "Unfortunately for them, the rebuild started two years too late, and they know that. I think Todd Bowles is going to be in the crosshairs. If they went 8-8, I'd give him coach of the year. But if they go 2-14 and each week, Todd is going to have to get up there and give Continue to Article

The Eagles have 85 players on their roster heading into Thursday's preseason finale and nine of them are listed as cornerbacks (see 10 players to watch). Obviously, cornerback has been one of the biggest worries of the team all offseason. The Eagles used two of their first three picks in the spring on the position and then went out and traded their most consistent receiver over the past few years to bring in Ronald Darby from Buffalo. Does that mean the position is settled? Not quite. The Eagles went ahead and cut two corners — Ron Brooks and Mitchell White — on Wednesday (see story). But there's still plenty more to figure out. Here's a player-by-player look (in numerical order by jersey Continue to Article

Ahh, the fourth preseason game. I know you're excited. It's a game that means nothing to most but everything to a select few. Those few will have one last shot to battle it out for a roster spot Thursday night when the Eagles play the Jets in North Jersey. The starters won't play, which means Carson Wentz and his group will watch. If Nick Foles actually plays in this game, he's worth watching. He has practiced minimally throughout the summer and hasn't played in any of the preseason games. He finally returned to practice Monday but missed Tuesday because he was sick. Head coach Doug Pederson as of Tuesday hadn't made up his mind about whether or not Foles would play, but the team doesn't seem Continue to Article

You may recall that last season I picked Austin Seferian-Jenkins to be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' breakout player. I figured he'd had two injury riddled seasons to start his career, but even in the limited time that he was on the field he showed that he could be a special player. What did ASJ do to thank me for picking him for such a prestigious award? He went right out and got pulled over while driving drunk and told a cop on video that he needed to, and I'm quoting him here, "take a huge shit" two days before the Bucs' home opener last season. Right. And thus ended his tenure with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as well as any chance that he wouldn't make me look stupid for writing that column. Quietly Continue to Article
