Keldon Johnson Jersey While it may be lost in the hoopla of the quarterback's looming return to Foxborough to face his former team in the in Week 4, Brady needs just 68 more yards through the air to leapfrog over former legend Drew Brees for that currently stands at 80,358 yards.

Manu Ginobili Jersey to see how the Patriots decide to deal with Brady likely breaking the record at Gillette Stadium in the midst of this homecoming. When Brees broke the record, the game stopped for several minutes as he was greeted by Pro Football Hall of Fame president David Baker along with his wife and kids, who were on the sideline. Of course, Brees was playing at home when he broke his record and

"We'll just take it day by day and see where we're at."When asked if he took a moment on the field to absorb the po sibility that

As for whether Brady will be joining him, Arians said that decision is "totally up to Tom." Brady has long talked about playing until he is 45 years old and has recently even considered the idea of sticking around the NFL until he is 50. While that all may sound otherworldly, this could conceivably be the final time that the greatest player in NFL history has played.Even with that fact looming over the league and the Buccaneers organization, Brady's potential retirement isn't due to deteriorating talent.

Those totals also have him in the thick of the MVP conversation.If Brady does decide that this is the end of the road, his career was unmatched in NFL history.

He's the all-time leader in wins, pa sing completions, pa sing touchdowns, and pa sing yards. His seven Super Bowl titles are also the most ever by a single player.

Now, Kelly is back after consecutive one-year stints with the and .The Purdue product has started 54 games in his career, while appearing in 76 more. With experience at both left and right tackle, he figures to serve as a top swing option for the Eagles, behind reigning starters and . It's also po sible Kelly could see time at guard, where he appeared earlier in his career, as Philly is set to have

Duane Brown Jersey Eagles, but he was a regular fill-in for the Titans from 2016-2020, earning two contracts from Tenne see, including a three-year, $21 million extension, and making 16 starts at right tackle in 2020. He made a

While the secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC, they are not seen by many as the best, or even second-best team in the conference. Despite the fact that they defeated
Killian Tillie Jersey both the and in the regular season, those two teams made big-time statements in Super Wild Card Weekend -- blowing out their first-round opponents. The Titans have a chance to make a statement of their own this weekend in the divisional round against the .The Bengals have an offense that's built to score, and when they're clicking on all cylinders, they can beat any team in the NFL. Still, this Titans team is the No. 1 seed in the AFC for good reason, and they are healthier than they have been all season. Below, we will give three reasons why the Titans will end the Bengals hype this season, and advance to the AFC Championship game for the second time in three years. TEN RB #22 Att219Yds937TD10FL0 It's going to be quite the scene when is introduced as a starter on Saturday afternoon. There's always the po sibility he doesn't look like himself coming off of surgery or that he splits time with , but we have different standards for Henry compared to those we apply to other running backs. The Alabama product is simply built differently.Tenne see went 6-2 with Henry on the field this season,
Avery Bradley Jersey and he finished ninth in rushing yards with 937, despite mi sing nine games. Henry became just the third player since the merger to lead the NFL in rushing yards per game in three straight seasons. He is the most effective weapon on offense for the Titans, and is capable of carrying a team to the win column. Back in 2019, Henry took Tenne see to the AFC Championship game by rushing for 182 yards against the in the wild-card round and 195 yards against the in the divisional round. Henry returning to the field coupled with the energy that brings to a team playing at home is a reason Tenne see will advance to the AFC Championship. Not only is Henry returning for the Titans, but this is the healthiest this team has been all year. Only defensive tackle had an injury designation this week, as he's questionable to play with an ankle injury. The Titans were more banged-up entering the season opener! is going to play, is going to play, the defense is healthy. Everything is trending upwards for the Titans.As
Mike Conley Jersey for the Bengals' injury report, it's not as bad as it could have been. Defensive tackle has a knee i sue, but carries no injury designation into Saturday, and was in concu sion protocol, but will play. However, it's going to be hard to make up for the lo s of , who was placed on injured reserve with a foot injury. He recorded seven sacks on the season and was tied for the team lead in tackles for lo s with 12. That's a player you want holding down the A-gap when having to face Henry.The Titans finished the regular season with the eighth-worst pa s defense in the NFL. That's something that could be exploited by since he has weapons like , , and to work off of. However, he's going to need time to throw the ball, which he may
Sean McDermott Jersey not have. The Titans were the only team in the NFL who had three players record eight or more sacks this season: , and . Tenne see also has chasing the pa ser as well. This Titans defensive line can
Xavier Tillman Jersey completely dominate games. Just go back and watch the film.On "Monday Night Football" in Tenne see's first game without Henry, the Titans rolled the Rams, 28-16. Simmons sacked a whopping three times, Autry had 1.5 sacks and Landry had half a sack. The pre sure also had a hand in Stafford throwing two interceptions.Burrow was the most-sacked quarterback in the NFL this season even with mi sing a game, and the Titans have already shown their defensive line can completely take over games. Throw in the fact that Henry is returning and adding that excitement factor, and I believe the Titans will win this game.

Aldrick Rosas Jersey a precautionary measure does leave room for optimism that Smith isn't dealing with anything too serious. That said, Dallas will likely be holding its breath just a bit until they get the results and have his statuses firmed up as they gear up for the preseason.Smith was the No
Harry Carson Jersey . 26 overall pick this past spring out of Michigan and is slated to have a sizable role along the Cowboys defensive line. During his final collegiate season, Smith posted 48 tackles, 2.5 tackles for a lo s, and a half sack. The 6-foot-3,
Lorenzo Carter Jersey 337-pounder is expected to bring a physical play style to the Dallas D-line, as evident from his recent comments saying, Lots of pop & power coiled up in Mazi Smith. Ryan Fowler (@_RyanFowler_) The Cowboys begin the preseason on Saturday with an exhibition against the at AT&T Stadium. Having Smith healthy and
Cody Latimer Jersey able to participate in that matchup could have been a positive step in getting him ready for the regular season, but if the nose tackle is le s than 100% it'd be wise for Dallas to have restraint and ease the talented youngster along.

But then the Texans ran into a conundrum: McCown has exactly zero head coaching experience at any level.Flores is . On Monday, So in comes Smith, who was the Texans' a sociate head coach and defensive coordinator last season. This comes le s than a month after Houston came under fire for firing David Culley after just one season at the helm. The Texans were likely looking for someone who could turn the page in what may be the post-Deshaun Watson era and kickstart a true rebuild.Instead, they narrowed it down to two candidates, both of whom it couldn't really hire, and backtracked to an experienced stabilizer who wasn't on the radar for head-coaching opportunities elsewhere: basically what Culley was last season. Unfortunately for Smith (and Texans fans), I fear he may suffer a similar fate to Culley, too.The Texans remain in
