Dolphins

The NFL has confirmed that they are, in fact, investigating domestic violence allegations against Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill.
Hill says he’s focused on “just playing ball” right now along with his kids.
“My focus right now is just playing ball, and spending time with my kids and just doing what I’m best at: providing for my family,” Hill said, via ESPN.com. “So all the noise, I feel like if you allow that kind of stuff to get in the way of what you’re trying to do, it can only cloud what you’re really trying to get accomplished.”
After an uneven Week 1, the Patriots and especially QB Drake Maye needed a bounce-back performance in Week 2, particularly against a Dolphins team that has historically played them competitively. That’s exactly what they got. In a back-and-forth game, Maye was outstanding, throwing for two touchdowns, rushing for another and missing on just four passes the whole day.
“You’ve got a guy, and he’s looking and calling the plays. You’re looking at him in his eyes and he’s speaking with confidence and enthusiasm,” Patriots RT Morgan Moses said via Mass Live’s Mark Daniels. “You know plays are going to work. That’s who he is. He’s a leader. He’s our quarterback, man. He played a hell of a game.”
“Growing up. It’s early. Game 2,” Patriots WR Stefon Diggs said when asked what he saw from Maye. “Obviously, we try to go 1-0 each and every week. I feel like he made a jump from last week, just settling in. It’s hard being a young quarterback, but I feel like he’s doing the best job he can. Four incompletions — you ask him if he’s happy about it.”
