    I hate to say it, but it's time for a fire sale. If you're going to do a complete rebuild, you've got to take your biggest asset, which is Julio Jones, There's people who want receivers so you've got to put him out there and get what you can because I think it's a pure rebuild.

    It's unfortunate, I think he's a very good coach. He came to a right situation, led the team to a Super Bowl, but they didn't win and everything went downhill from there.

    I think with most franchises, when something like that happens, something that catastrophic, I think it's very difficult to rebound from something like that. The Atlanta Falcons thought he was the guy to get the job done and lead them back to the promised land. Unfortunately, it didn't happen.

    Minnesota Vikings 0-7 Atlanta Falcons

    The New York Jets, New York Giants and Atlanta Falcons are the three teams yet to win this season.

    And after starting the season 0-5 for the first time since 1997, the Falcons sacked head coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff. Quinn became the second coach to make way after Bill O'Brien (Houston), with his tenure ultimately defined by his team's collapse in Super Bowl 51, when they surrendered a 28-3 lead to lose 34-28 to the New England Patriots.

    But the Falcons have welcomed Julio Jones back from a minor injury and after claiming an interception from the first play of the game, they've made the Vikings pay with Jones taking a 20-yard touchdown pass from Matt Ryan.

    Pittsburgh Steelers 3-0 Cleveland Browns

    Pittsburgh are facing an in-form Browns side in a tasty AFC North match-up.

    Cleveland look to have finally got their act together after years of stuttering, with stars Baker Mayfield and Odell Beckham Jr both active after being questionable in the week.

    Browns are 4-1 for the first time since 1994, when a certain Bill Belichick was in charge, and are smashing through defences with their rushing game.

    So stay with us, because this one could get feisty.

    Cleveland's defence stands up though. Three and out, here comes the field goal unit.

    Chris Boswell's kick is good. Early lead for the hosts.

    Pittsburgh Steelers 0-0 Cleveland Browns

    Running back James Conner has already made some monster carries on Pittsburgh's opening drive.

    Mike Tomlin's side are now at the Cleveland 20.

    The Steelers haven't scored a touchdown on their opening drive yet this season, they'll be annoyed if they can't break the duck tonight. Great field position.

  8. Smith makes long-awaited return for Washingtonpublished at 18:07 British Summer Time 18 October 2020

    Here's some encouragement for Dak Prescott though... In November 2018, Alex Smith suffered a compound fracture of his right leg. Screws and plates were inserted but he developed sepsis and a form of flesh-eating bacteria which not just threatened his leg but also threatened his life., external

    The former San Francisco and Kansas City quarterback underwent 17 operations and had four hospital stays over the next nine months and last Sunday he took to the field - 693 days after his last snap - after an injury to Kyle Allen, who has replaced Dwayne Haskins as Washington's starting quarterback.

    The 36-year-old said that "to have it happen as fast as it did was almost a blessing", and former US president Barack Obama offered congratulations after making his long-awaited return to action. Hopefully Prescott isn't out for that long though.

  9. The Steel Curtain 2.0published at 18:06 British Summer Time 18 October 2020

    Pittsburgh Steelers v Cleveland Browns

    Tonight we're focusing on the Steelers hosting the Browns at Heinz Field. Mike Tomlin's Pittsburgh are 4-0 for the first time since the 1978 and 1979 seasons, when they went on to win Super Bowls 13 and 14.

    In the 1979 season they won a fourth Super Bowl, the last hurrah of their 1970s dynasty dominated by their mean defence dubbed the Steel Curtain.

    Are we on for another incredible era in Pennsylvania with veteran Ben Roethlisberger and receiver Chase Claypool? Last week the Canadian-born rookie became the first Steeler since 1968 to score four touchdowns in one game.

  15. 'Legendary match-up' as Brady's Bucs face Rodgers' Packerspublished at 17:51 British Summer Time 18 October 2020

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers v Green Bay Packers (21:25)

    Same goes for the big late game, you have until 18:00 BST to pick who will come out on top as two of the game's best-ever quarterbacks go head to head in Florida.

    Jason Bell: This is a legendary match-up. I have to go with Aaron Rodgers, I like the dude's confidence right now, he's playing lights out. If he can play with a lead, those defensive ends he has on defence, the Green Bay Packers can get after the passer and they are going to need that to get after Tom Brady and put him on the ground.

    Osi Umenyiora: Tom Brady has entirely too much pride, this guy is going to bounce back. Bruce Arians is going to call an exquisite game plan for him, and that Tampa Bay defensive line, with Jason Pierre-Paul, is going to get after Aaron Rodgers, who's having a fantastic season. I'm going with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers here.

  16. 'This is going to be a very tasty, I can't wait to watch it'published at 17:49 British Summer Time 18 October 2020

    Pittsburgh Steelers v Cleveland Browns (18:00 BST)

    Our main game from the early kick-offs sees the unbeaten Steelers host the Cleveland Browns, who are 4-1 after winning their last four.

    Jason Bell: I've got to go with the Steelers, they are undefeated. Ben Roethlisberger has a new target in Chase Claypool. He's a big target and that's what Roethlisberger likes. These guys always find receivers and that defence is superb. I think they will find a way to slow down the Browns enough for that offence and Roethlisberger to make some plays.

    Osi Umenyiora: This is going to be a very tasty game and I can't wait to watch it. The way the Browns have been playing is outstanding but the Steelers, I think, are the better football team right now. They will get after Baker Mayfield, they are going to stop the run. I think the Steelers are going to go home with this victory.
