"He's the most brilliant offensive mind that the game has to offer and he has some of the most dangerous weapons the game has to offer." They're trying to make it safer for the quarterbacks, and I think that's the reason why he probably flagged me because I still think that was a fair play and I think it was a bang-bang play." We had a couple the last time we played him and they beat us to it and then once he did jump on it, I kind of was wishing he scooped and ran with it, but regardless I think we ended up scoring, so it was a huge play in the game and I think once our defense did that, I think they got their mojo back and played great.

To Lawrence’s credit though, he was able to flip the script a bit at the end of the half with a nine-yard touchdown pass to tight end Evan Engram.

Payne will be one of the more coveted defensive players in free agency this year and is a fit for what the Chicago Bears want to do in the trenches.

“The sky’s the limit for the kid. “I had a lot of people come here and support me, as you could hear when I run out of the tunnel or if I score,” Morant said. “This was my first run and obviously I'm not excited about it," Martin said. Martin was injured in the team's season opener and hadn't played since. Steven Adams had 15 rebounds for Memphis, which improved to 9-10 on the road. Every time we start to play better ...”
