Week 1 Review of the NFL

Today’s NFL

NFC East

1. Philadelphia Eagles

A stacked roster took a hit in the offseason, but their core remains poised to continue dominating the NFC.

2. Dallas Cowboys

For a franchise that hasn’t appeared in a conference title game since 1995, owner Jerry Jones has been taking it pretty well.

3. New York Giants

Their progression back to contention has now accelerated after last years Wild Card upset over Minnesota.

2023 MLB All-Star Teams

For the 93rd year of the Midsummer Classic, baseball goes to T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington. The last time the mid-summer classic was played in Seattle was in 2001. Now every year there is always a lot of discussion and some of it a little dated about how the teams are put together. No system will ever be perfect.

Recap of Wild Card Weekend

One Down

This is becoming a well oiled machine. 49ers QB Brock Purdy threw for 332 yards and 3 touchdown passes in his first playoff start against the Seattle Seahawks. RB Christian McCaffrey ran for 119 yards with a receiving touchdown and WR Deebo Samuel had 133 receiving yards and a touchdown catch. The defense forced two turnovers in the second half and nearly shutout Seattle in the second half giving up a touchdown in garbage time. This was the third time facing their division rival and the 49ers swept them in impressive fashion. It’ll be interesting if this continues.
