And as she announced a few months ago, she will evolve this year under her old colors for a few matches. While waiting for the start of the season, Tennessee has unveiled its throwback uniform: a return of red, white and columbia blue.

The Jets also do nostalgia

If the historical wink of Tennessee had been announced in advance, it is rather a surprise on the side of New York.

This retro livery should serve against the Bills in week 1 and against the Chiefs in week 4.

Odell Beckham’s last year?

Back from his knee injury in the middle of the Super Bowl, Odell Beckham (WR) has decided to commit for a year with the Ravens. The veteran was seduced by Baltimore, even if the club was not particularly one of his targets. And then ? Nothing certain, it could even be his last season.

“I think like it’s my last year,” Beckham told TheAthletic.com. “I’m going to give it my all this year. And then if something happens after that, we’ll see. »

Monday, at a meeting of shareholders, Mark Murphy (president) declared that the quarterback is “one of the best players in the history of the Packers”.

Patrick Mahomes: “To become a dynasty we must win three Super Bowls”

Since the takeover of Patrick Mahomes (QB) the Chiefs have had five golden seasons: two conference finals, a lost final and two championship titles. A dazzling career start. Yet to register among the greatest, for Kansas City to become the new dynasty of the NFL, Mahomes thinks he still lacks something.

“I think we are the start of a [dynastie]. On this subject, I always say that you have to win three,” the star quarterback told CBS Sports. “Our job is to do everything we can to win as much as possible, to have no regrets when we leave the field. I think that if we keep the mentality that we have, we can look back on our career. And then we can decide whether we’re a dynasty or not. »

Nick Chubb: “We are the only position where performance is against us”

NFL runners play an unloved position in the NFL: heavy physical load, low pay, and quick replacement. So much so that the league’s star running backs met on Zoom this weekend to express their opinions and their frustrations. Thus, at least Nick Chubb (Browns), Saquon Barkley (Giants), Derrick Henry (Titans), Christian McCaffrey (49ers), Josh Jacobs (Raiders) and Austin Ekeler (Chargers) were present for this meeting according to ESPN. No action is planned, but it was an opportunity to compare points of view.

“Right now we can’t do anything,” Chubb admitted. “We are handcuffed in this situation. We are the only position where performance is against us. If we play and we produce 2000 yards with a lot of carries, the following year they will say that we are cooked. It’s hard… In the end, it hurts us.”

Jared Goff: “We finish 9-8, we miss the playoffs, and suddenly we are favorites”

After a difficult start to the 2022 season, the Lions managed to rally their troops and end the campaign with a nice record of 8 wins for 2 losses. With Bears starting from afar, Packers in reconstruction and Vikings struggling to convince, here they are projected favorites of the NFC North division. But Dan Campbell (HC) seems to know how to put things into perspective and keep his men’s feet on the ground.

“Yes, it’s the best for that,” explained Jared Goff (QB) at a press conference. “He knows how to leave us where we need to be. The “hype train” – I don’t know, I find it funny because we finish 9-8, we miss the playoffs, and suddenly we are favorites. Of course we have good players, good coaches, a good team. But we haven’t done anything and we still have a lot of work to do. »

“Minnesota won 13 games last year, Green Bay won the division a couple of times in the past few years, so we have a job to assert ourselves in the way we want to, and we’re not there yet. But we are on the way. »
