The San Francisco 49ers moved to 2-0 after defeating the New Orleans Saints 26-21 on the road. New Orleans had a chance at taking the lead late, regaining possession with 2:40 left in the fourth quarter. However, while facing a fourth-and-1 on their own 42-yard-line, Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler was sacked, clinching the 49ers victory. Starting in place of Brock Purdy, San Francisco quarterback Mac Jones had 279 passing yards with three touchdowns.

There aren't many draft picks left from the Ron Rivera era. For every success story, there are three or four failures. The Washington Commanders are on the right track now, but it's got nothing to do with how the previous head coach approached his choices from the college ranks. Many of Rivera's high-end picks failed to meet even modest expectations. Adam Peters got rid of almost all of them. Some have secured opportunities elsewhere.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Bills will be without kicker Tyler Bass for a minimum of four weeks after he was placed on injured reserve on Friday. The move means that veteran Matt Prater, who the team signed to the practice squad on Thursday, is now set to kick for the Bills in the season opener vs. the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC).

The Bills have a tendency to play Lawful Good Football in even years and Chaotic Neutral Football in odd years so far this decade, and the pattern held in 2024. Blowout wins in primetime games against Miami and Jacksonville in Weeks 2 and 3 were a damn strong argument that the Bills hadn't gone anywhere, even as key contributors like Stefon Diggs, Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer, or Tre'Davious White had departed in the offseason.

The Giants drive starts with 15:00 remaining at own 35-yard line; after two runs produced 2 yards, Cam Lewis and Matt Milano fill the gap to put the Giants into 3rd-and-long.
