For the second time in his career, Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green leads an overhaul.
When he broke into the league nine years ago, Green remembers it was just basically him and his fellow rookie, quarterback Andy Dalton, flinging it on the fly and drawing it in the dirt as they went. Chad Johnson, the all-time leading receiver in Bengals history, had been traded the day before Green took the field for the first time as a Bengal. Not only was Green the man, he had to be the man.

The Chiefs just won another Super Bowl! Why Kansas City will repeat
Hyperbole? Hardly. The champs won July. Owned it. Crushed it. Solidified their standing atop any and all power rankings. Cemented their status as the team to beat, likely for years to come. At this moment, picking any other squad to win Super Bowl LV is contrarian cuteness.
How COVID-19 limitations will affect NFL rosters; respect Zeke!
As the COVID-19 pandemic presents unprecedented challenges around the world, the NFL is still figuring out how to stage a season. And while the players and owners continue negotiating a plan that will enable teams to properly prepare for the regular season, it appears that we could see the reduction or total elimination of preseason games.
