Cowboys’ Jerry Jones shuts down potential Pollard-Elliott controversy

Jerry Jones left no doubt who the Cowboys starting running back is.

Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott didn’t play Sunday in the Cowboys’ 49-29 win over the Chicago Bears due to a knee injury, which meant Tony Pollard was thrust into the starting running back role.

Pollard showed out, rushing for 131 yards on 14 carries and scoring three touchdowns. It seemed like the Cowboys didn’t even need Elliott in their thrashing of the Bears, but that doesn’t seem to change how owner Jerry Jones feels about the team’s situation at he position when Pollard and Elliot are healthy. Jones shut down any inkling of a brewing running back controversy, strongly endorsing Elliott’s value to the team.

“There’s no argument,” Jones told reporters. “Zeke’s ability to punish, Zeke’s ability to deliver, Zeke’s ability, what he does for us in pass protection, and, frankly, Zeke’s ability to make big plays are there, and we’re going to go where Zeke goes. He’s that integral to our success.”

It’s probably good for the Cowboys that Jones is backing Elliott up considering the massive, six-year $90 million contract extension he signed in September 2019, which made him the highest-paid running back in the NFL.

The game itself was a blowout. At one point in the first half, the Cowboys held a 28-7 lead, but the Bears cut it down to 28-17 at the half and made it a one-score game at 28-23 early in the third quarter.

From that point on, however, the Cowboys outscored the Bears 21-6 including a Micah Parsons 36-yard scoop and score towards the end of the third quarter.

With the win, the Cowboys move to 6-2 and stay one-and-a-half games back of the Eagles, who improved to 7-0 with a win over the Steelers, in the NFC East standings.

Zach Wilson became turnover machine in Jets’ loss to Patriots

The Jets asked fans to arrive to MetLife Stadium early Sunday for their game against the Patriots. But they did not give them a reason to stay late.

Jets quarterback Zach Wilson threw three interceptions, John Frankin-Myers committed a critical penalty and Gang Green blew a halftime lead in a 22-17 loss to the Patriots. It was New England’s 13th straight win over the Jets and ended a four-game winning streak for the Jets.

Wilson started off strong but then became a turnover machine. Wilson had gone three consecutive games without a turnover but gave the Patriots three of them Sunday. In their first game without running back Breece Hall, the Jets struggled to move the ball.

Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was not much better than Wilson, but New England played ball control in the second half and erased a 10-3 Jets lead with 19 unanswered points. Jones completed 24 of 35 passes for 194 yards with a touchdown and one interception. Wilson completed 20 of 41 passes for 355 yards and two touchdowns, but also the three interceptions.

Former Jets kicker Nick Folk booted five field goals for the Pats.

The Jets fell to 5-3 and the Patriots moved to 4-4. The Jets have another big AFC East game next week against the Bills.

The momentum swung in this game just before halftime thanks to a penalty on Franklin-Myers.

The Jets appeared to take 17-3 lead late in the second quarter when Michael Carter II intercepted a Jones pass and returned it 84 yards for a touchdown, but the play was nullified when Franklin-Myers was called for roughing the passer. It appeared that the defensive end left the ground as he hit Jones late, drawing the penalty.

The penalty was a huge turning point. The Patriots then scored 19 unanswered points after the flag.

Folk kicked a field goal as time expired in the half to cut the Jets’ lead to 10-6.

The Patriots then took control in the third quarter. The second half started with a 35-yard run by Rhamondre Stevenson after Jets safeties Jordan Whitehead and Lamarcus Joyner both missed tackles.

The Patriots moved the ball 62 yards on six plays and the drive ended with Jones finding Jacoby Meyers for a 5-yard touchdown on fourth down. It was the Patriots’ only touchdown of the game and gave them their first lead at 13-10.

Greg Zuerlein then missed a 45-yard field goal for the Jets and the Patriots took the ball back and got into position for Folk to hit another field goal, this one from 49 yards for a 16-10 lead.

Folk nailed a 45-yard field goal, his fourth of the day, with 2:39 left in the third quarter to put New England up by two scores at 19-10.

Wilson then threw his second interception of the game, this one a brutal late pass along the sideline. Instead of throwing it away, Wilson threw it to Devin McCourty at the Jets’ 40. The Patriots did not convert the turnover into points, punting the ball away.

The Jets would not be so lucky on Wilson’s next interception. He floated one deep over all of his teammates into the arms of McCourty again. McCourty returned it 36 yards to the Jets’ 37 and it set up Folk’s fifth field goal of the game, a 52-yarder that gave the Pats a 22-10 lead.

The Jets scored with 1:51 left when Wilson hit Conklin for a 9-yard touchdown to cut the score to 22-17.

Wilson played well early and MetLife Stadium was rocking. The Jets jumped out to a 10-3 lead with 12:04 left in the second quarter after Wilson threw a beautiful 8-yard touchdown pass to Conklin.

Wilson made several nice throws in the first half before throwing his first interception of the game with 48 seconds left before the intermission. He threw off his back foot and floated one to linebacker Ja’Whuan Bentley. That gave the Patriots the ball at the Jets’ 40. Jones threw his interception that wasn’t two plays later to Carter, but Franklin-Myers’ penalty wiped out the touchdown and changed the game.

Jets’ rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson had 115 receiving yards on six catches.

Russell Wilson returns from injury, leads Broncos to win vs. Jaguars

LONDON — Latavius Murray scored on a 2-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter to help the Denver Broncos snap a four-game losing streak by beating the Jacksonville Jaguars 21-17 on Sunday at Wembley Stadium.

Russell Wilson led two go-ahead scoring drives in the second half on his return from a hamstring injury. Wilson finished 18 for 30 for 252 yards with a touchdown and interception.

The embattled quarterback looked rusty early, but connected on a 47-yard completion to KJ Hamler after the Broncos fell behind 17-14 on Travis Etienne’s 1-yard touchdown run with 3:54 to play. Wilson then scrambled for 10 yards on a third-and-5 to get to the Jacksonville 28.

The late score gave Murray a touchdown for two different teams this month in London. He ran for a score for New Orleans earlier this month at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Broncos (3-5) erased a 10-point deficit on Jerry Jeudy’s 6-yard touchdown reception in the first half and Melvin Gordon’s 1-yard run to complete a 98-yard scoring drive early in the second half.

The announced attendance of 86,215 is the largest crowd in the history of NFL international games.

The Jaguars (2-6) lost their fifth consecutive game despite a career day from Etienne, who carried 24 times for 156 yards and a touchdown.

Etienne scored on a 1-yard plunge to give Jacksonville a 17-14 lead with 3:54 to play.

After Murray’s touchdown with 1:43 remaining, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw an interception to K’Waun Williams at the Jacksonville 35.

Lawrence had a costly red zone interception on a first-and-goal from the 1 in the first half. Lawrence was 18 for 31 for 133 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.

On Denver’s first possession after the break, Wilson connected three times with rookie tight end Greg Dulcich, including a 38-yard completion to the 1. Gordon then ran it in to give the Broncos a 14-10 lead.

Wilson missed last week’s game because of a strained hamstring and looked rusty early, throwing an interception on his second pass.

The Broncos didn’t get their first first down until almost midway through the second quarter.

Why the Giants decided it was time to trade Kadarius Toney

With each passing week, it became obvious to the Giants coaching staff and front office that Kadarius Toney was lacking in at least two of the three tenets of the new regime. Brian Daboll insists his players are smart, tough and dependable and “tough’’ and “dependable’’ were never part of Toney’s brief stay.

The end came Thursday, when general manager Joe Schoen traded Toney to the Chiefs for a compensatory third-round pick and a sixth-round pick in the 2023 draft. There were disagreements between the player and the team that did not exactly trigger this deal but that did make it more sensible that he be sent away.

It is likely Toney, who has missed the past five games with two separate hamstring injuries, passes his physical in Kansas City. The plan for him with the Giants was to practice on Thursday and, if all went well, perhaps play Sunday in Seattle.

The Giants, though, actually preferred Toney sit out this game and rest up during the following bye week to be healthy for the second half of the season. The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday and the Giants were not committed to keeping him around. If he played and re-injured himself, his trade value would be diminished. If he played and was productive, his marketability in a trade would increase. Given his history with the Giants ever since becoming a 2021 first-round pick, the feeling was it was more likely Toney would hurt his trade value.

The new Giants regime didn’t seem to have much trust in Kadarius Toney.
Corey Sipkin for the NY POST

Toney, according to a source, was not happy that he was held out of practice Wednesday. He believed he was ready to go. The offer from the Chiefs came early Thursday and that was that.

It is believed Daboll’s plan is for the injured players to stay in town during the bye week and continue their rehab at the team facility. If Toney was held out of Sunday’s game he would have been considered an injured player and required to stay — which he would not want to do. There were concerns that Toney, if deemed healthy, would leave the area and compromise some of his conditioning during the bye week, making him more susceptible to injury upon his return. Clearly, Toney did not build up any trust equity with the new coaching staff or front office.

Brian Daboll’s expectations of injured Giants players were a source of concern when it came to Toney.
Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post

This regime did not draft Toney and would not have drafted Toney, a player who was not on the draft boards of several NFL teams because of concerns with his attitude and durability. The Giants are 6-1 with Toney playing only 35 snaps, catching two passes for zero yards and rushing twice for 23 yards. Daboll is squeezing everything he can out of a feisty but flawed roster, and every day Toney was not available was detrimental to the environment Daboll and Schoen are trying to create.

Toney did not do himself any favors by missing the first two voluntary weeks in the spring. He got hurt upon his return and needed an arthroscopic knee procedure that set him back. He missed two games with a strained hamstring, declared himself ready and pulled his other hamstring in his first practice back on the field. There were bouts of immaturity and lack of communication. On a team that is certainly wide receiver-needy, the Giants decided they did not need Toney.

James Robinson will catch on to Jets games ‘quickly’

One of Terry Robiskie’s favorite teaching tactics is asking questions with incorrect information as a way to separate the players who truly know their assignments from the yes men.

In a room full of Jaguars running backs in 2020, the longtime NFL assistant coach mentioned scanning the defense from the free safety to the cornerback instead of the correct read from free safety to strong safety. And he intentionally confused the strong-side and weak-side blocking responsibilities of backs and offensive linemen.

Undrafted rookie James Robinson was the quietest person in the room — until those trick questions.

“James was always the guy to correct me,” Robiskie told The Post. “I was surprised by everything he was able to do learning our pass-protection system because it was complicated. He made sure we were always on the same page. He knew where he was supposed to be, and he was able to help other guys when his guy didn’t rush.”

Robinson, 24, is the newest addition to the Jets, acquired Monday from the Jaguars for a conditional sixth-round draft choice as the immediate response to rookie running back Breece Hall’s season-ending torn ACL. In three years, Robinson went from setting the NFL record for most yards from scrimmage by an undrafted rookie (1,414) to not touching the ball last week against the Giants as the Jaguars shifted toward featuring 2021 first-round draft pick Travis Etienne in the backfield.

Former Jaguars quarterback Mike Glennon echoes Robiskie’s sentiment that Robinson is “smart enough to pick up things pretty quickly” and should be “ready to go right away.” Glennon recalled the locker room was as surprised as the rest of the NFL in September 2020 when the Jaguars cut Leonard Fournette and named Robinson as the starter. Without preseason games due to COVID-19, it was hard to gauge how his playmaking in practice would translate to live tackling.

“That’s a big move to cut a former top-five pick and go with an undrafted guy,” Glennon said Tuesday afternoon, “but that first game of the season you could tell, ‘How did this guy not get drafted?’ He really is a complete back. He turns 2-yard runs into 4-yard runs and 4-yard runs into 6- or 8-yard runs.”

The Jets undeniably will lose some home-run ability without Hall, who had five gains from scrimmage of at least 20 yards. Michael Carter, Ty Johnson and Zonovan Knight (signed Tuesday off the practice squad) could have to provide the big plays, while Robinson (81 carries for 340 yards and three touchdowns) runs with downhill force. Averaging just 173.2 passing yards during their four-game winning streak, the Jets can’t afford to miss a beat on the ground.

“When you want to pound people, take your time and wear them down, James is very capable of that,” Robiskie said. “He’s hard to bring down one-on-one. And he’s got good hands out of the backfield. He’ll get you a first down if you throw him a swing pass or a flare. Whatever they decide they want to do, if they want to rotate him in and out, he’s very much a team player. He gave all he had for me all year.”

With the NFL in his sights, Robinson wasn’t looking to put his body first at Illinois State. He carried 102 times for 629 yards and three touchdowns in a remarkable three-game span during the FCS playoffs as a senior.

“He almost got us back to the national championship game,” head coach Brock Spack said. “North Dakota State’s fans were hanging over the rails when he was walking off to give him a standing ovation because they know a great player when they see one. He’s used to having a program on his back.”

Robinson’s 4.64-second 40-yard dash at the NFL combine likely is the main reason he didn’t get drafted, according to Spack and Robiskie. Illinois State’s Pro Day was canceled, so he couldn’t re-run.

“I recruited Mike Alstott to Purdue,” Spack said of the former All-Pro fullback, “and they are similar in that however fast they are, they get to that speed very quickly. Different backs, but James is very sudden. He could’ve played [weakside] linebacker for me in the Big Ten. He’s got that kind of explosiveness and toughness.”

Then-Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone was Robinson’s biggest believer in the scouting process, Robiskie said, and it paid off when the rookie became the lone bright spot in a 1-15 season. Marrone and his staff were fired, short-lived successor Urban Meyer drafted Etienne (who missed his entire rookie season) and Robinson surprisingly made it back from a torn Achilles suffered last Dec. 26 in time to force a timeshare with Etienne at the start of this season.

“I’m excited for him to get a fresh start,” Glennon said. “I don’t think he’s lost it. He looked really good when I saw him at the beginning of the year. [His rookie year] was incredible and he remained the same guy the whole time: He came to work quietly, was getting all these accolades and was one of the better running backs in the NFL — and you wouldn’t know it at all. I have a lot of respect for him. The Jets should be happy with who they got on and off the field.”

Breece Hall tears ACL in brutal blow for Jets

The Jets were expecting the worst for Breece Hall’s injury — and it did become reality on Monday.

The Post’s Brian Costello confirmed that Hall suffered a torn ACL in Sunday’s win over the Broncos. The standout running back also suffered a minor meniscus injury.

“Breece doesn’t look good,’’ Jets coach Robert Saleh said after the 16-9 win. “The initial diagnosis is not good, but we’ll see. I’m going to stay optimistic as I can for him. He’s a heck of a football player.’’

Hall, a second-round rookie out of Iowa State, was emerging as the Jets’ top offensive threat. He had 681 total yards and five touchdowns on the season before going down with the injury.

Trevor Lawrence showed grit during Jaguars’ struggles

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Trevor Lawrence learned it is not always what you do, but where you go and who you are there with.

The top pick in a draft almost always goes to a bad team, but the Jaguars in 2021 were not just bad, but uniquely dysfunctional — with Urban Meyer, a college coaching guru, showing he was remarkably unfit for an NFL job. Lawrence had to navigate through some choppy seas, but he never lost his dignity even as he lost, week after week, on the field.

The quarterback did, however, admit he lost some of his confidence.

“There are times when it gets a little shaky, and you really have to work through that,’’ Lawrence said a few days before the Jaguars hosted the Giants on Sunday. “Honestly, there were times last year where you start to question some things. This game really tests you mentally — obviously physically but mentally especially, really when you’re having not a great year, as a team, as a player, as an offense, whatever that may be, you really just have to keep that confidence.’’

For most of his life, all Lawrence knew was winning. His high school teams won 41 consecutive games and two state championships in Georgia. Lawrence won his first 29 games at Clemson and finished his college career with a record of 38-2, but he is 5-18 as an NFL starter. Yet at 23 years old, his potential remains extremely high, based on his physical ability and his mental acuity.

“Honestly, I haven’t been challenged too much, as far as my confidence, until really, getting into the NFL,’’ Lawrence said. “Things have gone pretty smoothly in my career. I’ve had a few bumps in the road, but really last year was challenging.’’

Giants head coach Brian Daboll was the offensive coordinator at Alabama in 2017, thus he was on a recruiting trail that took him to Cartersville, Ga.

“Tremendous high school football player,’’ Daboll said. “You go down there and watch a practice. He can play on Sundays when he was down there in high school. He was really, really talented. He’s really talented now. I think he’s doing a great job in coach [Doug] Pederson’s offense. He’s big. He can throw it accurately. He can move. They run him on some quarterback, not just keepers, but also quarterback-designed runs, too. So, athletic, smart. He’s a really good person, too. He’s going to be a good player in this league for a long time.’’

Last week, Lawrence completed 20 of 22 passes for 165 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions, while also rushing for two touchdowns. His quarterback rating was 113.1, but the Jaguars were beaten in Indianapolis, 34-27. Lawrence became the first quarterback in NFL history to lose a game with 20-plus passing attempts, 90-plus completion percentage, three total touchdowns and no turnovers.

Giants safety Xavier McKinney faced Lawrence once when the two were in college. Lawrence tossed three touchdown passes to close out his sensational true freshman year, and Clemson completed a 15-0 season with a 44-16 rout of Alabama in the national championship game.

“Obviously, I think he’s a really good quarterback,’’ McKinney said. “He has a really good arm and makes smart decisions — he’s grown a lot since I played him. He was young when I first played him, but he was really good. He’s gotten a lot better, and it shows.’’

Packers’ Randall Cobb avoids the worst after scary injury

Randall Cobb is avoiding the worst.

The veteran Packers receiver was carted off with a high ankle sprain during a 27-10 loss against the Jets last Sunday. Cobb said he expects to return in two to six weeks from the injury.

“I felt something pop,” Cobb said to reporters about the injury. “And I thought, ‘This is the way it ends.’ It’s nice to have the good news and to know that I’ll be able to come back.”

Cobb’s absence for the next few weeks impacts an already depleted Packers receiver roster. The 32-year-old ranks second on the Packers in receiving yards (257) and fourth in receptions (18).

With Christian Watson out from a hamstring injury, Allen Lazard and Romeo Doubs are the only two core receivers still healthy.

Green Bay is off to a mediocre start to the season, with a 3-3 record – which is good enough for second in the NFC North.

Tom Brady apologizes for comparing NFL prep to military deployment

Tom Brady regrets his choice of words.

Earlier this week, on his SiriusXM podcast “Let’s Go,” Brady compared leaving his family for the NFL season to a military deployment.

“Earlier this week I made a statement about playing football and the military, and it was a very poor choice of words,” Brady told reporters on Thursday. “I just want to express that to any sentiments out there that people may have taken it in a certain way, so I apologize.”

On the podcast, Brady had said, “I almost look at like a football season like you’re going away on deployment in the military, and it’s like, ‘man, here I go again.’”

Brady was summarily criticized on social media over the remarks.

Brady’s personal life has been the subject of much speculation this season, as he and wife Gisele Bundchen have been the subject of persistent divorce rumors.

There was also a lot of backlash against Brady’s decision to fly to Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s surprise wedding in New York City on Friday night and miss the Bucs’ Saturday walkthrough before a game against Pittsburgh that they lost as double-digit favorites.

The Bucs have gotten off to a comparatively disappointing start, beginning the season 3-3. Frustrations boiled over this past Sunday, when Brady berated his offensive line towards the end of the first half.

“I don’t know if it’s motivation, but I do think that it’s a bad day when there’s more F-bombs than touchdowns. So, that was not one of my better days. But F-bombs, they used to kind of keep from showing you in those moments, but now it’s kind of for the world to see. So that’s just the way it is,” Brady said of the tirade.

Giants keep responding to scores with points of their own

Don’t wake the sleeping Giants. 

The way the Giants have punched back after getting hit in the mouth is the defining characteristic of the back-to-back upset victories over the Packers and Ravens that have elevated their season from a nice underdog story to evaluating playoff scenarios

Discounting a safety intentionally taken on special teams, the defense has allowed eight scores — four touchdowns and four field goals — in the last two games. The offense has responded by scoring on the ensuing possession six out of eight times. 

“We talk about having each other’s back,” left tackle Andrew Thomas said. “The defense does a great job for us of holding teams. We try to respond when we can to help them out.” 

It’s as if Resiliency Dust is sprinkled on the sideline whenever an opponent threatens to gain too much momentum.

The Giants have made a habit of immediately responding after giving up scores.

The Giants’ average drive when responding to a score is nine plays for 48.1 yards. Remove the two failed responses (both three-and-outs) and their average retaliation is 11 plays for 62.3 yards, with 34 total points scored. Compare that to the average numbers from 10 offensive possessions after a defensive stop: five plays for 18.3 yards, with 17 total points. 

“I wouldn’t say it’s magic. It’s the edge we play with,” Thomas said. “It’s a gritty bunch. A lot of people here have been thrown out, [are on] second chances. We work hard here, and I think that shows up on Sunday.” 

The Giants are the fourth team ever — and the first since 1993 — with three comeback wins from double-digit deficits in their first six games. The formula is matching a score with a score to keep games close, as receiver Darius Slayton and backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor noticed. 

“I’ve got a running joke going with Tyrod that they score and we go and get it right back,” Slayton said. “I don’t know what the reason for that is, but it’s great complementary football. Our defense does a great job keeping them out of the end zone, which makes your job a lot easier on offense. That’s the goal, though. Get an answer quick.” 

Coach Brian Daboll attributes it to “good execution.” 

“You can’t focus on the scoreboard or what’s happening with the other side of the ball, or in the kicking game,” Daboll said. “You have to be prepared and execute, and those guys along with [offensive coordinator Mike] Kafka calling the plays have done a good job with that.”

Daboll said the Giants should be “in fairly good shape” without any serious injuries suffered Sunday. 

OLB Oshane Ximines said he tweaked his quad on Julian Love’s interception but declared himself “all right.” 

RB Saquon Barkley (shoulder) could get extra rest during practices because of the beating he takes on game days. 

“We’ll cross that bridge when we get to Wednesday,” Daboll said. “We’ll have some conversations about it, but Saquon is a tough customer.… He’ll get his treatment and be ready to go.” 


Safety Xavier McKinney harassed scrambling Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson into throwing the game-turning interception to Love, but he might have been most excited about his three offensive snaps in the victory formation after Barkley slid to the ground to run out the clock rather than scoring a late touchdown. McKinney was the last line of protection in case of a disastrous fumble. 

“I knew beforehand, but it was surprising because I didn’t know when we were going to do victory formation,” McKinney said. “I’m happy Saquon didn’t score.”
