In the absence of more examinations to determine the damage from the injury, losing Watt could be disastrous for Pittsburgh in its quest to enter the postseason in 2021.

How will the offense be affected of the Packers without Cobb on the field?

Tom Brady: “Rob Gronkowski is the best tight end I’ve ever played”

Tampa Bay was the center of attention after a controversial statement from QB Tom Brady. The previous Sunday in the Buccaneers’ victory over the Falcons, Brady and TE Rob Gronkowski connected for their 90th touchdown as a pair, and this Thursday, Brady did not hesitate to thank for all the years he has spent as a professional with Gronkowski, Noting that he doesn’t think there is any doubt that he is the best tight end in NFL history:

“It was amazing watching him play,” said Brady. “Obviously, he’s the best tight end the game has ever played, and he still does. I think his ability to block in the running game, run routes in the passing game, win against smaller players, and then he’s very good in crucial situations. It stands out in the most important moments ”.

Gronkowski, who came to the league in 2010, has spent his entire career with Brady pitching to him. This explains why at this point both are only behind Hall of Famers Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison in the list of the most regular-season touchdowns in NFL history among a pair of players (112). Will Gronkowski and Brady beat Manning and Harrison’s record? Is Gronkowski the best tight end in league history?

This 2021 records 641 total yards from the scrimmage and 1 TD, being a fundamental pillar. on a Cardinals running game that also features James Conner. Now, with the pair of healthy running backs, the offense led by Kliff Kingsbury could be more deadly than ever.

However, these are not the only elements that the team recovered heading into Week 14. Arizona also designated S Charles Washington, who suffered from a hamstring injury, to return from the Injured Reserve. Additionally, they activated RB Jonathan Ward from the COVID-19 Reserve. What should we expect from the Cardinals with a totally healthy offense?
