Page 10 - Bye Week News Today

Here are five things to watch for the Houston Texans over the final 11 games of the 2023 regular season.

We're now in the Bye Week, and the Dallas Cowboys have some time to regroup heading into the next stretch of the season. Your mixed up media crew this week breaks down the bright spots and the "not so bright" spots within this team.

The Carolina Panthers are off to their worst start in 25 years. Langston Wertz and Panthers beat writer Alex Zietlow discuss what exactly the Panthers need to do in their bye week to get in the win column.

After winning the AFC North in consecutive seasons and returning most of their starters, the Cincinnati Bengals were expected to make a deep run into the playoffs. Joe Burrow has battled a calf injury that limited his mobility, but the blame can't all be heaped on the NFL's highest-paid player who didn't get to practice until the week before the season started. The Bengals are among the worst in the league in most offensive categories, including total yards per game, rushing yar...

The Cowboys may not be champions but they showed against the Chargers that they resilient and they are not quitters. They will be here for the long haul in 2023.

Utah is back on top, while BYU takes a big drop in the latest power rankings for the 16 teams that will make up the Big 12 Conference beginning in 2024.

The Cincinnati Bengals get an extra week to figure out why their offense has been so confoundingly inconsistent. The bye week is arriving at a good time for the Bengals, who managed to hold off Seattle 17-13 on Sunday — mostly because of a superlative effort by the defense late in the game. Among them is an offense struggling to produce for an entire game.

Raise your hand if you thought the New York Jets would be 3-3 at their bye-week break after Aaron Rodgers went down with a torn Achilles tendon four snaps into his debut. It still probably seemed unlikely Sunday until late in the fourth quarter, when the Jets' defense came up with stop after stop and made a big play — Tony Adams' interception — to put New York in position to score the eventual winning touchdown in a 20-14 victory over previously undefeated Philadelphia. ...

Ja'Marr Chase says he's been getting open all season. The Burrow-to-Chase connection — it's been a thing since they played together at LSU and won a national championship in the 2019 season — produced three touchdowns and reignited the Bengals last week in a 34-20 confidence-building win over the Arizona Cardinals. Now the Bengals have a chance to win two in a row, go into the bye week at .500 and try to keep building momentum on the other side.

The Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Chargers have different reasons to be happy they get extra time to prepare for each other. Monday night's game gives the Cowboys (3-2) an extra day to deal with the shock of their 42-10 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday. The Chargers (2-2) are coming off their bye week and will have some key starters back.
