Jon Beason is going be back in the middle of the New York Giants' defense, and he is going to have help at the linebacker spot. The Giants confirmed Friday that they re-signed Beason and later said they also signed former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Jameel McClain. The team did not disclose contract details, but reports said Beason got $19 million over three years. Terms of McClain's deal were not immediately available.

Comments Off on Kansas City Chiefs Move to 2-0, Keep Pace with Denver Broncos in AFC West (Yahoo Contributor Network) 
COMMENTARY | The AFC West was all but handed to the Denver Broncos before the 2013 NFL season even began. After a dominant 2-0 start (convincing wins against the Baltimore Ravens and New York Giants), most are still willing to appoint Peyton Manning and Co. the paper champions of the division -- and rightfully so.

NFL Week 2 Winners and Losers – Ravens get their first win, but it’s still not very pretty (Shutdown Corner)

Comments Off on NFL Week 2 Winners and Losers – Ravens get their first win, but it’s still not very pretty (Shutdown Corner) 
The Baltimore Ravens aren't going to apologize for a win, nor should they. Every win counts the same in the NFL, and the Ravens avoided the dreaded 0-2 start. Ask teams like Washington, the New York Giants, Carolina and Minnesota how 0-2 feels. So the Ravens are in the winners category. But, they also dip a toe in the losers side too. Baltimore will have to improve a ton if it wants to make the playoffs to defend its Super Bowl title. And now the Ravens have to monitor running back Ray Rice's hip injury. The team said Rice suffered just a strained hip flexor, but it was pretty scary to see him go down in a heap with no contact in the fourth quarter. The Ravens offense was pretty bad with Rice for three-plus quarters. They played an ugly game with no points in the first half. Baltimore, which was blown out in Week 1 at Denver, is lucky that the Browns couldn't find the end zone even if quarterback Brandon Weeden had a GPS navigation system installed in his helmet. They squeaked out a 14-6 win. The champs are not playing like champs yet this season. But at least they'll be fixing some of their issues with a win in their back pocket. Here are the rest of the Week 2 winners and losers:

Browns at Ravens Will Provide Multiple Tests for Cleveland Offense (Yahoo! Contributor Network)

Comments Off on Browns at Ravens Will Provide Multiple Tests for Cleveland Offense (Yahoo! Contributor Network) 
COMMENTARY | The popular opinion I've seen in game previews and heard on sports talk radio is that the Cleveland Browns are lambs headed to the slaughter when they travel to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Baltimore was thoroughly embarrassed at the Denver Broncos last Thursday night, and, if that wasn't enough reason for the Ravens to be up for their first divisional contest of the season, they'll also be celebrating their Super Bowl triumph for one final time. ...
