Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has confirmed to The Associated Press that he plans to retire.

Every year, players in every NFL city fail to meet expectations.

About a third of the starting quarterbacks have missed time because of injuries, and Richard Sherman’s return to the NFL was hastened by Tampa Bay’s need at cornerback.

Daniel Jones is looking to stay undefeated in his career against Washington when he leads the New York Giants into the NFC East matchup on Thursday night.

Justin Herbert threw for 337 yards and a touchdown to help the Los Angeles Chargers beat Washington 20-16 in an ugly Week 1 matchup full of turnovers and big penalties.

Ryan Fitzpatrick says he did not need the public declaration from Ron Rivera that he's Washington starting quarterback.

The Baltimore Ravens lost running back J.

Rookie running back Jaret Patterson did a little bit of everything and scored the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter in Washington’s 17-13 preseason victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Friday night.

Ron Rivera opened Washington's training camp expressing frustration about a lack of vaccinations among players.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa says he used Tuesday’s minicamp practice to be aggressive.

DAVIE, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins have not made a change at offensive coordinator, at least not yet. ESPN published an article Monday in which insider Adam Schefter reported that the Dolphins are moving on from Chan Gailey. If the Dolphins do make a change at offensive coordinator, it would be the second straight season that they’ve done so. The Dolphins’ season ended with a 56-26 loss at Buffalo on Sunday. After the game, rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said that he and Gailey had a good relationship.

With a win or a tie, the Colts would clinch a playoff berth and eliminate Miami. The Dolphins (10-6) didn’t get results they needed to clinch their third playoff berth in 18 years, after Cleveland beat Pittsburgh and Baltimore routed Cincinnati. Allen threw three touchdown passes and Isaiah McKenzie scored three times, including returning a punt return 84 yards, in a game Buffalo blew the game open by scoring on four consecutive second-quarter possessions. The Bills also finished the season with 501 points, a franchise best in topping the record of 445 set in 1991.

Payton wasn’t talking about Nevers’ record six TD runs. “A lot of these players — I’d say most of these players — have no idea how good Gale Sayers was,” said Payton. “It was a great moment.”Brees said Payton mentioned Sayers’ mark before the Saints’ last touchdown drive.

DAVIE, Fla. – Tua Tagovailoa is still the starting quarterback of the Miami Dolphins. Head coach Brian Flores said, “Tua’s brought us a spark in a lot of other games. I think Tua’s played well.

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – Ryan Fitzpatrick threw two touchdown passes while starting in place of the injured Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins kept the New York Jets winless with a 20-3 victory Sunday. Tagovailoa was inactive with a left thumb injury, so Fitzpatrick stepped in against one of his many former teams. Darnold was intercepted twice and the Jets (0-11) twice couldn’t take advantage of takeaways by the defense. Fitzpatrick drove the Dolphins down the field and sealed the win with a 7-yard touchdown toss to Shaheen to make it 20-3 with 6:54 left. Gase challenged the call — and TV replays seemed to support the Jets’ argument — but it was upheld and the Dolphins scored four plays later.

The surprising Miami Dolphins earned their fifth consecutive victory, beating the Los Angeles Chargers 29-21 Sunday. The Chargers were also outplayed on special teams, where they were hurt by two mistakes that allowed Miami to take a 14-0 lead. Jakeem Grant, the NFL leader in punt return yards, helped the Dolphins’ field position with three runbacks for 57 yards. Nick Vigil made a 44-yard return before Tagovailoa tackled him, and Herbert scored on a fourth-down sneak to make it 14-7. Chargers: They play the second of three consecutive games against the AFC East when they host the New York Jets on Sunday.

DAVIE, Fla. – Veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick admitted on Wednesday that it hurt to lose the starting job. The team named rookie Tua Tagovailoa as the starting quarterback, demoting Fitzpatrick to backup. Fitzpatrick said in the past he knew that he was going to be the placeholder for the rookie quarterback. Fitzpatrick said, “It still just broke my heart yesterday. Fitzpatrick said, “There’s a lot of stuff going through my mind yesterday, just from a personal standpoint.

And Flores says the decision to bench popular veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick was difficult. “Fitz has done a great job,” Flores said Wednesday. “The one thing in this situation that’s unfortunate is that I didn’t get a chance to address the team before this was out in the media,” Flores said. The 37-year-old Fitzpatrick, who is in his second season with his eighth NFL team, has been characteristically inconsistent. He has made an impact on Tua and a lot of other players on this team.

Dolphins head coach Brian Flores confirmed on Wednesday that Tua Tagovailoa will be the starting quarterback for the Miami Dolphins. Flores was not thrilled that the news about his decision was reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, before he had the opportunity to address the team. Flores praised the work that Tagovailoa has been doing behind the scenes as part of the decision. I think he has a rapport with his teammates.”As for the decision itself, Flores said, “We feel like that’s the best thing for the team.
