The NFL’s first trip to Dublin came with a snag. Steelers quarterback Skylar Thompson was the victim of a mugging on Friday night in the Irish capital ahead of Pittsburgh’s game against the Vikings at Croke Park, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported.

Big plays made and not made can make all the difference. Bobby Okereke learned another lesson about this the hard way. The Giants and Chiefs were tied at 6-6 late in the second quarter last Sunday night when Brian Burns sacked Patrick Mahomes for a 7-yard loss. The ball came loose and Okereke, a starting inside linebacker, was in the right spot for a scoop-and-score fumble recovery for a touchdown. It could have been a game-turning moment. It was not. Okereke got his hands on the ball, but Mahomes, hustling to the max, pursued the play, punched the ball out…

He became the first Team USA player to win the first two matches of his career, with both by at least four points, since Patrick Reed…
