Zach Wilson named the AFC offensive player of the week

Jets quarterback Zach Wilson has been called a lot of things over his three years in the NFL and many of them haven’t been complimentary, but that’s not the case on Wednesday.
The Jets announced that the NFL has named Wilson the offensive player of the week in recognition of his performance against the Texans in Week 14.
Wilson returned to the starting lineup after two games on the bench and turned in the best performance of his NFL career. Wilson went 27-of-36 for 301 yards and two touchdowns as the Jets went from being tied 0-0 at halftime to beating their visitors 30-6 at MetLife Stadium.

Owners to vote on expansion of minimum international games from four to eight - NBC Sports

The NFL’s international experiment continues to expand. As it should.
Via NFL Network, owners will vote Tuesday on a proposal that would increase the minimum number of international games from four to eight. Given that the annual Jaguars home game falls beyond the league’s initiative, that would mean a minimum of nine games every year not on American soil.
They should run it all the way to 16, frankly. If the NFL will be sticking with 17 regular-season games, it’s imperative from a competitive-balance standpoint that all teams have eight true home games, eight true road games, and one neutral-site game. Today’s proposal, if successful (and it will be), would get the league more than halfway to the magic number of 16.
That’s the best long-term solution for the NFL. Moving a team to England or Germany raises too many issues. Export six games to England, six to Germany, and four elsewhere.

Giants designate Darren Waller for return from injured reserve

The Giants offense could get a key part back in the lineup as soon as this Sunday.
The team announced on Thursday that tight end Darren Waller has been designated for return from injured reserve. Waller will practice with the team and can be activated at any point in the next 21 days, but he won’t be able to return if he is not activated in that window.
Waller has been out since Week Eight with a hamstring injury, but his importance to the offense is underscored by the fact that he remains second on the team with 36 catches and 384 receiving yards.

If the NFL wants to turn the page on a player criticizing bad officiating, the NFL probably should think twice about fining a player for criticizing bad officiating.

Regardless, Big Shield has struck back at Browns defensive end Myles Garrett. Via Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the league has fined Garrett $25,000 for his criticism of officials after last weekend’s win over the Jaguars.

“The officiating was a travesty today,” Garrett said during his post-game press conference. “It was honestly awful. And the fact that they’re letting them get away with hands to the face, holding, false starting — I know they called a couple, but damn, they could have called it all game. And [there was] the one that cost us down on the 2-yard line.

The NFL announced on Monday that Kazee has been suspended without pay for the final three games of the regular season, plus any potential postseason games, for repeated violations of player health and safety rules.

Kazee was ejected for his hit on receiver Michael Pittman in the second quarter of Saturday’s loss to the Colts.

NFL vice president of football operations Jon Runyan issued the suspension, writing to Kazee in part, “You had an unobstructed path to your opponent and the illegal contact could have been avoided. Your actions were flagrant, and as a result, you were disqualified from the game. ... When players violate the rules intended to protect player safety on a repeated basis, and particularly when the violations carry with them a significant risk of injury to an opposing player, it is appropriate to impose substantially greater penalties.”

Reid offered an update on Pacheco Monday had surgery and said that the back is on track to play against the Raiders on Christmas Day.

“He’ll be good to go this week unless there’s further setback,’' Reid said, via Adam Teicher of ESPN.com. “Right now, everything’s positive for him to go and he really had a clearance last week from the fellow that did the surgery to go, so it was just a matter of being [cautious] on it.’'
