Michael Vick Admits To Owning A Dog

Michael Vick acknowledged that he does in fact own a dog through a statement Thursday, though the word “dog” was noticeably absent.

“I understand the strong emotions by some people about our family’s decision to care for a pet,” said Vick.  “As a father, it is important to make sure my children develop a healthy relationship with animals. I want to ensure that my children establish a loving bond and treat all of God’s creatures with kindness and respect. Our pet is well cared for and loved as a member of our family. This is an opportunity to break the cycle. To that end, I will continue to honor my commitment to animal welfare and be an instrument of positive change.”

All-22: How the Defense Lost the Chess Match

The key 20-yard completion from Ben Roethlisberger to Antonio Brown on 3rd-and-12 is probably seared into your brain by this point. But it’s important to revisit, given the way in which it came to pass.

As it turns out, the success of the play is tied directly to a sequence in the first quarter. This is an example of exceptional quarterback awareness, and a reminder of how important it is to keep opposing offenses guessing.

Will Eagles Turn To DeSean To Return Punts?

In the offseason, the Eagles made moves to address their return game, but so far, the results have been unimpressive.

Let’s start with the punt returns. Damaris Johnson has been the man through five games, and his opportunities have been limited. Johnson’s fair caught nine punts (tied for most in the league) and returned another eight. His longest return has gone for just 13 yards.

So is it time for DeSean Jackson to get a shot?
