NFL records to be broken in 2019? Drew Brees, Tom Brady lurk
Think LaDainian Tomlinson setting the mark for most touchdowns in a single season and being hoisted upon his teammates' shoulders. Think Peyton Manning breaking Brett Favre's all-time passing record in 2015 -- the Broncos QB received a prolonged standing ovation in the midst of the worst game of his career. Think Drew Brees leaping ahead of Manning last year ... with a long touchdown pass ... on "Monday Night Football." The pomp and circumstance was overwhelming, almost too perfect, yet so deserved.

Cobb: Packers an 'ex-girlfriend that broke up with you'

Robert Griffin: Ravens' offense to 'shock some people'
Despite throwing just six passes over the past two seasons, Griffin hasn't been sitting idly in Baltimore. Through his efforts behind the scenes he's been elevated from Lamar Jackson's mentor to Jackson's backup, which means he's one snap away from seeing the field.

Connor Barwin wants to return to Philadelphia Eagles
"I'm trying to come back and play for the Eagles," Barwin said this week. "I'm training right now and I've talked to Howie and they're going to see if they need any depth on the edge and so I'm going to wait until camp starts before I sign anywhere else, but obviously I'm not going to wait too long. But the Eagles know that's where I want to be."

Saints DT David Onyemata suspended one game

Eli on Daniel Jones: 'Don't feel like it's a competition'
"I mean no, I don't feel like it's a competition," Manning said in an interview that will air on NFL Network's Total Access Friday night. "I feel like I've got to do my job and I've got to compete every day and try to get better every day. That's the way it's been my whole life and that's just the way I've always approached practice every day to improve, to earn my place on the team, to earn the respect of the teammates and do it each year."
