Jets

Through two games in 2026, Jets QB Geno Smith has yet to throw an interception, which is a changeup from last year with the Raiders when he tied for the NFL lead with 17. However, Smith took offense at the idea that he’s putting an extra emphasis on protecting the ball.

“You guys gotta watch film, man. You say interceptions, you gotta watch film; you can’t just go off the stat sheet,” Smith said via The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt. “That’s what a lot of people do. I’m a guy, like I’ve told you guys, I’m very sound in my decision-making. I know what I’m doing out there. I’m always going to try and protect the team by protecting the football. Interceptions can come in a number of ways, turnovers can happen in a number of ways but the key thing is that we protect the team by protecting the football. That’s something I’m always mindful of.”

Patriots

Week 2 was the debut for Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson, and he debuted with a bang thanks to a long rushing touchdown. Veteran RB Rhamondre Stevenson fumbled in the first quarter after Henderson’s touchdown, so it was the second-year back who ended up with the majority of the snaps and touches in the win. Still, Patriots HC Mike Vrabel cautioned not to read too much into that.

“I think that they both can help us. I think that we can all see that when we were playing well offensively, that they both had major roles,” Vrabel said via USA Today’s Jordy McElroy. “It’s good to see Rhamondre come back in there and have a couple of really nice runs and break through a couple of times. I think we’re going to need everybody, and we know how critical the ball is and ball security.”
