Hurts was replaced by Nate Sudfeld, the franchise’s longtime third… Source link

Two days before the 2009 NFL draft, Matthew Stafford sat in the back of a league courtesy truck that drove him through Manhattan. He was about to become the No. 1 pick, about to agree to a contract worth $41.7 million guaranteed, about to head to the Detroit Lions where he was confident he’d reverse the supposed “Curse of Bobby Lane” and lead the woebegone franchise to some playoff victories, if not a lot more.

Tagovailoa was in a position the other highly drafted rookie quarterbacks were not, and that’s playing for a postseason spot in Week 17. And with the chance to have a big game against a Bills team with little to play… Source link
