The NFL’s wild-card weekend features a rematch of the 2022 NFC championship game, two division rivals facing off and a team with a losing record playing a home game.
New York’s Daniel Jones threw two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown in his first action since a season-ending knee injury last year as the Houston Texans beat the Giants 28-10 in preseason action.
Several wide receivers had milestone performances this past week, but no one could do what Amari Cooper did for the Cleveland Browns.
Amari Cooper set a franchise record with 265 yards receiving and scored two touchdowns and a 2-point conversion to move the Cleveland Browns closer to a playoff berth with a 36-22 win over the Houston Texans.
Nico Collins had a career-high 191 yards receiving and a fourth-quarter touchdown, and Jimmie Ward intercepted Denver’s Russell Wilson in the end zone with 9 seconds left to left to help the Houston Texans hold on for a 22-17 win over the Broncos.
Davis Mills threw a touchdown pass to Chris Moore to help the Houston Texans beat the San Francisco 49ers 17-0 on Thursday night in the preseason finale for both teams.
This year’s NFL draft has the chance to be unlike any other in recent years with a possible long wait before any of the players who throw, catch or run with the ball coming off the board.
