DANGEROUS: Matt Ryan, Julio Jones andthe Falcons offense could surprise some people this year.

INJURY REPORT: Jaguars tight end Julius Thomasfractured a finger last night. Giants safety Landon Collinssuffered a knee injury. Andthe night was especially hard on the Rams offensive linemen.

WORK TO DO: Tom Coughlin has three more weeks of preseason play left.He knows that he"s going to need it.

EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANTED: Andy Dalton waspleased with his performance and the rest of the Bengals offense.

LOCKED UP: Tyler Lockett put on a clinic against the Broncos, giving the Seahawks another offensive weapon to be excited about. All the offensive weapons in the world may not matter if Seattle"s offensive line doesn"t get better.

STEELERS SLING IT: Pittsburgh"s starters didn"t play much, but they made those snaps count.Check out Ben Roethlisberger"s 44-yard touchdown pass to Martavis Bryant ... daaaaamn.

BILLS QUARTERBACKS: It"s down to two (sorry, EJ Manuel) but those two looked pretty good in preseason play.TBH, Tyrod Taylor might have the edge.

JUKE MACHINE: Tavon Austin is maddeningly inconsistent, butwhen he makes highlight moves like this, it"s almost worth the frustration.

GOT YOUR BACK: Aaron Rodgers issticking up for Tom Brady and quarterbacks everywhere.

THE PLACE FOR QUARTERBACKS: Is you team one of the many still looking for a franchise quarterback? Well, thenyou should get to know the Big Ten East because it"s loaded with them.

NO EXCUSE: Since when is the jaw bone connected to the arm bone?PFT Commenter"s latest hot take has one big question for Geno Smith.

BRADFORD OUT: The Eagleswill leave Sam Bradford on the bench in their preseason game this week, which meansmore playing time for Tim Tebow, who is currentlyfourth on the depth chart.

SAM IS OUT: Michael Samleft the Montreal Alouettes on Friday, citing personal concerns. The move leaves his football future in doubt.
