The Hogettes will make their first appearance at FedEx Field since the 2012 season as the Commanders honor The Hogs Sunday. Joe Gibbs is slated to be there as honorary captain.
The team will also unveil its new mascot at halftime. Would be weird if they chose a dog over a hog. https://t.co/DIvAkahEYk pic.twitter.com/ncmMKbnP2a

Dusting off our dresses and …honored to be a part of celebrating the HOGS …Looking forward to seeing old and new friends out at FedEx @Commanders game on Sunday! #Hogs

#BREAKING the original HOGS tell me they are on the verge of taking Dan Snyder and the team to court.
Full information below.
The original HOGS were invited, but will not be there on Sunday as part of the new mascot celebration/unveiling.

The yardage and TDs look similar, but Wentz played two fewer games.
Extrapolate the average:
Wentz is looking at 2,149 with 15 TDs and 7 Ints in 8 games. #HTTC pic.twitter.com/JnfxPvYzi1— George Carmi (@Gcarmi21) December 26, 2022
Heinicke gets sacked 2.23 times per game
Wents gets sacked 3.5 times per game
Heinicke turns the ball over 1.5 times per game
Wentz turns the ball over 1.07 times per game.#HTTC https://t.co/0rh4JYloVi

Here’s how much passing value over average each QB’s statline has provided over the last two seasons. pic.twitter.com/GXOZqdaIPg

If Scot Turner calls a game similiar to what we saw late in the 49ers games, I think Wentz can be successful. In his brief work, Wentz hit some quick short and intermediate passes. Early in the season, Scot was calling 5 and 7 step drops. Can’t do it.
— Disco (@discoque5) December 26, 2022
Did Wentz actually look good on the touchdown drive @JPFinlayNBCS or can any mediocre QB throw short passes against soft coverage down 16 points?
It was 30-14 and this drive burned 4 minutes to end with 5:25 left. That’s exactly what San Fran wanted. pic.twitter.com/nNltKy8ETK
— David Riedman (@david_riedman) December 25, 2022
Prob dumb of me to try and sum up Wentz’s day in 280 characters. So I’ll try in 560.
As some have noted, it’s great that he took the easy throws. With the Commanders’ talent, that’s advisable! Just hard to know if those same throws will be there in a more even time/score setting https://t.co/DXBuKPZW8q
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) December 27, 2022
People all over Turner’s playcalling in the first…Jahan catches that ball on the first drive and the O-Line goes 1-4 blocking on the goal-line instead of 0-4, and you’re up 17-7 or 21-7 at halftime. Taylor executes a QB sneak and game is different..: Players gotta execute #HTTC

I’m all about seeing the full capabilities of Dotson. Even if Big Red gets his head beat in, I think he’ll find these guys more effectively in the RedZone and vertically. Will worry about 2023 later.

If the Commanders can’t beat the Browns at home to earn a “win and in” vs. Dallas, they deserve for their season to end by getting lapped by Green Bay.

#Vikings WR Justin Jefferson asked on ESPN about the possibility of a receiver winning MVP: “Having the type of season I’m having, I feel like that’s a conversation that needs to be had for me to be MVP.”

I caught a lot of heat a couple weeks ago for saying the Dolphins were overly reliant on big plays — but I did the math once again today
Miami has *two* scoring drives over its past four games that don’t involve an explosive play. They are not sustaining drives.

Late in the first half Tua slammed the back of his head into the turf. He apparently didn’t undergo any evaluations in-game – this is when the UNC needs to do their job and pull him.
I shouldn’t have to say this but good for Tua for reporting symptoms. pic.twitter.com/oHlzLA7c8u

It struck me as odd when Tua Tagovailoa said this about his second interception Sunday. Him entering the concussion protocol today might explain why he said this. pic.twitter.com/kAeKRcbUik

Oh my. Derwin James just blasted Ashton Dulin and the Colts quickly took him to the medical tent.
Derwin was ejected.pic.twitter.com/T90xif6ri4
— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) December 27, 2022
The fact that the Derwin James hit shook so many of us shows how far we have come, because those hits were rather commonplace until maybe ten years ago.

Ronnie Lott, Steve Atwater, etc would be ejected every game in today’s NFL.pic.twitter.com/2fxBRELzdo

#Chargers HC Brandon Staley said safety Derwin James is in concussion protocol after the hit which got him ejected.

The Panthers with Christian McCaffrey: 1-5
The Panthers w/o Christian McCaffrey: 5-4Yes, Carolina has been a lot better without him. But the NFL is complicated, because…
The 49ers w/ McCaffrey in the starting lineup: 8-0
The 49ers w/o McCaffrey in the starting lineup: 3-4— Football Perspective (@fbgchase) December 26, 2022
#Jets HC Robert Saleh says Mike White is back as the starter and Joe Flacco is the backup. Zach Wilson is back as QB3 and inactive on gamedays.

Tom Brady is almost certainly going to break the single-season pass attempts record.
Brady, at the age of 45, is averaging 45 pass attempts per game. He is 57 attempts away — with 2 games to play — from breaking Matthew Stafford’s record of 727 set in 2012. Wild.

Nathaniel Hackett becomes just the 5th coach in NFL history to be fired before the end of his first season.
4-11 in 15 games. A disaster tenure.
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) December 26, 2022
I’m told some initial names being discussed for the #Broncos head coach vacancy, per league source, include:
Dan Quinn
Darrell Bevell
Eric Bienemy
Sean Payton
Demeco Ryans
Shane Steichen— JosinaAnderson (@JosinaAnderson) December 26, 2022
My sources say GM Paton is safe. But he shares in blame, obviously. Hackett has been over his skies from 1st game, Wilson trade has been disaster, Gregory has missed majority of season and Sutton has one TD in his last 24 games. Those, to date, are big swings and misses #Denver7 https://t.co/H7kA4RsSuE

Derek Carr is the most polarizing Raider ever.
There’s never been a QB with such impressive stats accompanied by 0 playoff wins. Makes no sense
Fans split — each with a narrative in their head that can’t be changed
Here’s my dive into the great divide:https://t.co/5VweVItP3Z
