Best Fit: Pittsburgh Steelers

It is no secret the Steelers would like to add another receiver.

In addition to their reported interest in Adams, they were connected to Brandon Aiyuk before the San Francisco 49ers signed him to a long-term deal. The AFC North team is off to a solid start at 4-2, but the need for another impact receiver remains.

After all, George Pickens is the only wide receiver with more than 10 catches on the season. Tight end Pat Freiermuth (22) and running back Najee Harris (14) are second and third on the team in receptions, respectively. Pittsburgh needs another game-changer on the outside for quarterback Justin Fields.

There have even been some question marks about Pickens, as he played reduced snaps in a loss to the Dallas Cowboys and was fined for an explicit message on his eye black. Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette also reported “Pickens has shown up late for work on multiple occasions this season.”

Given that situation, the Steelers could use a veteran leader in the wide receiver room.

Hopkins can be just that as a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro who is in his 12th season in the league. He has 14 catches for 175 yards and one touchdown in five games this season despite poor quarterback play from Will Levis on the Tennessee Titans and could benefit from a change of scenery.

Trading for him would give the Steelers a veteran leader and a much-needed go-to option on offense.

Jayden Daniels’ magical rookie season continued on Sunday as the No. 2 pick led the Washington Commanders to a 34-13 win over the Cleveland Browns.

While he threw his second interception of the year, he finished with 238 passing yards, a touchdown through the air and 82 rushing yards. He also made history, becoming the first player in NFL history to record 1,000-plus passing yards and 250-plus rushing yards through five career games.

More history: No player in NFL history has ever had 1,000+ passing yards and 250+ rushing yards in their first 5 career games—until Jayden Daniels.<br><br>You’re witnessing a superstar. <a href=”https://t.co/z4LJkKqUeZ”>pic.twitter.com/z4LJkKqUeZ</a>

The LSU product continued to be nothing short of spectacular in Week 5, and fans had high praises for Daniels on social media following the win.

Daniels has been everything the Commanders could have asked for out of the No. 2 pick through five games. Not only is he developing well and putting up big numbers, but he’s also leading Washington to wins.

With Sunday’s victory, the Commanders improved to 4-1 for the first time since 2008. The fourth win of the year also means Washington has matched its win total for the entire 2023 season, showing major improvements early on.

Daniels and the Commanders will get one of their biggest tests of the season so far when they take on the Baltimore Ravens next week, which will be a good measuring stick, but after Week 5 it’s hard to deny Washington is looking like a playoff team.

Texans 23, Bills 20 | Final score, stats to know + game highlights

🥚3. Bills held scoreless second quarter, Texans score late

Neither offense was able to generate points through much of the second quarter. The Bills offense struggled to get much going on their three second quarter drives, punting on all three consecutive drives.

The Texans had an opportunity to score on their first drive of the second quarter, but were stopped deep in Buffalo territory on a fourth down run to RB Dare Ogunbowale that LB Terrel Bernard and DB Cam Lewis combined for the tackle.

On their final drive of the half after a P Sam Martin punt, with 30 seconds left in the half, Stroud drove the Texans to the Bills’ 32-yard line that led to a K Ka’imi Fairbairn 50-yard field goal, bringing the second quarter to a close with a 17-3 lead.

This was the first time the Bills have trailed by double-digits at halftime in back-to-back games with Allen starting at QB in both.

Despite the Indiana Fever suffering a 92-91 loss to the Washington Mystics on Thursday night, standout rookie Caitlin Clark was part of history once again.

An official count of 20,711 fans showed up at the Capital One Arena to watch the game, representing a new record for the highest-attended WNBA regular-season contest.

Clark finished with eight points and eight assists in 20 minutes against Washington, shooting 2-5 from the field, which included two three-pointers.

She sat for most of the second half, as Indiana previously clinched a playoff spot on Sept. 4. With a record of 20-19 entering the team’s final matchup of the regular season, the Fever were already locked into the No. 6 seed before the game started.

Thursday night’s contest broke the previous regular-season record of 20,674, which was reached four times by Washington during the 1998 and 1999 seasons (via Across the Timeline).

The Mystics typically play at Entertainment & Sports Arena, which has a capacity of 4,200. However, the game was moved to Capital One Arena in anticipation of the large crowds that Clark typically draws.

Washington isn’t the only team to transition to a larger arena ahead of contests against Indiana. The Las Vegas Aces hosted the Fever at the larger T-Mobile Arena for a July 2 game instead of playing in the relatively smaller Michelob Ultra Arena. And 20,366 fans attended the matchup, which represented the highest regular-season single-game attendance since 1999.

Fans have also flocked to watch the Fever at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, with Indiana setting a new WNBA home attendance record during the 2024 season.

After an impressive college career at Iowa, Clark has taken the WNBA by storm and appears to be in line to win the Rookie of the Year award. She’s averaging 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game on 41.7/34.4/90.6 shooting splits.

Bills 31, Dolphins 10 | Final score, stats to know + game highlights

2. Let James Cook

After scoring no touchdowns in week one, RB James Cook found pay dirt three times in the first half, two on the ground and one through the air.

After the initial interception by Ingram, the Bills took over at the Dolphins’ 37-yard line. The offense started to move the ball down the field and found themselves in a fourth-down-and-three situation. On the ensuing play, QB Josh Allen threw it short to Cook who ran the ball 17 yards for the touchdown.

After both teams took turns punting the football, the offense, aided by an unnecessary roughness flag, found themselves driving the football again. Allen found himself in some trouble on third-and-twelve and found RB Ty Johnson down the field, giving the offense first-and-goal from the one-yard line. Cook then ran the football in on the next play.

On his third touchdown of the first half, Cook broke loose up the middle, running for 49-yards, breaking away from a possible tackle from S Jordan Poyer, and flipping into the end zone.

2. Fast start

After Codrington set the Bills up with great field position on the Bills’ opening drive of the game, Allen fumbled, and the Cardinals brought the ball down for a K Matt Prater field goal.

Allen made up for the early fumble, bringing the Bills on their two possessions into the red zone and scoring both times.

On their first scoring drive, Cook got going early, receiving six carries, including a 15-yard scamper. Allen found TE Dawson Knox for 23-yards for his only completion of the drive. In the red zone, Allen ran for a rushing touchdown, but it was called back following a face mask penalty and the Bills settled for a K Tyler Bass field goal.

After Arizona cashed in on their ensuing drive, with only 2:44 left in the half, Allen led the offense on a two minute-drill. Even with the several false start penalties, Allen found the end zone on a rushing touchdown from seven yards out. In the process, WR Khalil Shakir bounced off a defender and took a pass from Allen 19-yards and Coleman also caught his first career catch for 12-yards.

After receiving the second half kickoff, that was short of the landing zone and placed the ball at the 40-yardline, the offense got right back to work. Allen found his running backs this time, completing a 25-yard pass to Cook and Davis for another 14-yards. Allen ended the drive throwing a dart to Hollins, tying the game at 17-all.
