Tuchel’s England outclass Wales at Wembley to build momentum
Thomas Tuchel's England maintained their positive momentum with a comfortable 3-0 win over Wales in a friendly at Wembley on Thursday night.The Three Lions boss had been criticised for his squad selection for this month's internationals, with Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish among the high-profile absentees. But Tuchel wanted to build on the impressive win over Serbia in September - and his side did just that against their outclassed neighbours. England blew Wales away in the first 20 minutes, with Morgan Rogers tucking in Marc Guehi's cutback and Ollie Watkins tapping home at the back post before Bukayo Saka curled in a beauty to make it 3-0. It was the quickest England had reached that scoreline in 38 years. Player ratings England Pickford (7), Konsa (7), Stones (7) Guehi (7), Spence (7), Anderson (7), Rice (7), Rogers (8), […]

Chris Jones on Mistake in Chiefs Loss to Jaguars: ‘It’s a Teaching Point for Me’
Chris Jones took ownership of his mistake on the decisive play in the Kansas City Chiefs' loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, when the three-time All-Pro defensive tackle thought Trevor Lawrence was down and stopped on the play, only to watch the Jaguars quarterback scramble to his feet and into the end zone.Lawrence's touchdown with 23 seconds remaining gave the Jaguars a 31-28 victory over the Chiefs."It's a teaching point for me. A little adversity. I can't think the play is over, you know what I mean?" Jones said Thursday, the day he typically speaks to local reporters. "It's a learning lesson. I thought it was over, thought we had him down."The Jaguars faced first-and-goal at the 1-yard line following a pass interference penalty. But they did not have any timeouts, so if Lawrence had been tagged down on […]
Indianapolis Colts’ Tyler Warren rewriting rookie history at the tight end position
Tyler Warren has been a chunk-play machine: His 17 first downs are the most by any rookie tight end in the PFF era. Dominance against zone coverage: Warren's 2.81 yards per route run against shell looks are the second-most among tight ends in the NFL. Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes The tight end position can easily be described as a slow burn upon entering the NFL. It has been conceptually viewed as one of the tougher positions to get a grasp of when transitioning from the college level to the pros. Even the most basic of numbers will back up that claim. Of all the tight ends drafted in Rounds 1-3 over the past decade, less than half have eclipsed a mere 100 yards over their first five NFL games. So, when somebody like Tyler Warren comes along and puts […]
