Johnson will now get a fresh start in Houston as it looks to fill a hole with the loss of Tank Dell, who suffered a torn ACL and dislocated kneecap during the Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow gifted his offensive lineman with samurai swords for Christmas as they have helped protect him better than most seasons since he’s been the starter.

Burrow let each of the linemen pick out a sword. ESPN noted that some of the swords date back to the 1500s. Following his three-touchdown performance against the Cleveland Browns, Burrow explained why he opted for samurai swords over cars, watches or something else.

"Well, they wanted guns," he said. "And I was like, 'I don't know about guns, guys.' So I was in the weapon mindset, and I was like, 'What's a cool weapon?' Samurai swords, I think, are pretty dang cool."

Bengals offensive lineman Alex Cappa told ESPN last week that the gift was one of the best he’s ever received.

"My favorite gift I've ever gotten by far because it's so different," he said.

Burrow is having one of the best seasons of his career. It starts with the offensive line as he’s only been sacked 37 times through 15 games. In 2022, the last time he played at least 15 games, he was sacked 41 times. He led the league in sacks in 2021 (51). The Bengals lost to the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl that year.

The former LSU standout leads the NFL with 39 touchdown passes and 4,229 passing yards.

Cincinnati is 7-8 this season and have games against the Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers left on the schedule. If the Bengals win out, they may be in line to sneak into the playoffs.

As fans got upset with the Raiders on social media, head coach Antonio Pierce addressed critics during his media availability.

"We don’t do this to lose," he said, per Pro Football Talk. "We don’t do this for anybody’s fantasy football team. We don’t do this for anybody’s draft projections. None of that s--- matters to us. Only thing that matters to us is winning, and that’s all we want to do."

Rodgers’ past relationships were recalled in his docuseries "Enigma," which debuted on Netflix last week. He explained that he "hated" the fame that came with his successful football career.

The four-time NFL MVP referenced the high-profile relationships he was in. The quarterback dated Olivia Munn from 2014 to 2017, Danica Patrick from 2018 to 2020 and Shailene Woodley from 2020 to 2022.

"I didn’t do myself any favors with some of the girls I dated after that that were in the public eye," Rodgers said on the show.

Referring to the fame, Rodgers said, "I definitely hated it at first — like, really despised it."

"I enjoyed my private life," he continued. "I enjoyed being able to go places. But from Super Bowl MVP, MVP, State Farm commercials, that got a little bit more difficult."

The Texans claimed wide receiver Diontae Johnson off waivers Monday.

Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whose football future remains a mystery, suggested Monday that he could be released at the end of the season.

Once again, Bevo will not be making the trip to Atlanta, as the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl announced Monday that there is not enough room on the sideline in Mercedes Benz-Stadium for the Texas mascot.

The wide receiver's knee injury is bad enough that it could put his status in doubt for the start of the 2025 season.

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans revealed the extent of wide receiver Tank Dell’s horrific injury on Monday.

Dell will miss the remainder of the season after he tore his ACL and dislocated his kneecap during Saturday’s loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s the second straight season the wide receiver will need season-ending surgery. He broke his fibula in Week 13 last year.

"He dislocated the knee, he tore the ACL, other things there he’ll have to get repaired," Ryans said. "So he’ll be out for the year."

Dell was injured on a 30-yard touchdown catch. He was coming across the back of the end zone and made a spectacular catch on a pass from C.J. Stroud. He collided with teammate Jared Wayne on the way to the ground, and he immediately grabbed his knee.

Dell’s teammates were in tears as they watched him go down. He was placed on a stretcher and driven out of the stadium on a cart before staying overnight at a hospital and flown back to Houston.

"It was just not easy for me to sit there and be emotional," Stroud said Monday. "But it’s something that we all go through in life, and it’s easy to be a fake tough guy. It’s easy to go through life acting like everything doesn’t affect you, but deep down we all know we’re going through something."

He also addressed criticism for letting his emotions show.

"It’s good for young men and women out there, kids who are brought up — and I was taught this too as a kid, not from my parents but just from the world, don’t let anybody see you emotional," the second-year quarterback added. "Don’t let anybody see you down, and yeah, there’s some truth to that in certain aspects, but there’s also life, and I think it was good for people to see me in that light and knowing that there is still a human factor to me, and I’m a normal person."

Dell will finish the season with 51 catches for 667 yards and three touchdowns.
