Chris Thompson is a fish whisperer. He seems to always know where the fish are and what they are thinking. It's led to an impressive fifty-plus trophy catches in less than a year.

Gostkowski kicks 49-yarder as Titans beat Jaguars 33-30
(AP Photo/Wade Payne)NASHVILLE, Tenn. โ The Tennessee Titans know good teams win ugly games, and being 2-0 for the first time in 12 years has a way of making any victory look much prettier. Stephen Gostkowski kicked a 49-yard field goal with 1:36 left, and the Tennessee Titans remain undefeated after holding off the Jacksonville Jaguars 33-30 Sunday. Itโs exciting to get the win and get the Titans to 2-0.โQuarterback Ryan Tannehill said Gostkowski came up huge for the Titans on something that wasn't a chip shot. โExcited to be 2-0 for the first time here in Tennessee," third-year Titans coach Mike Vrabel said. So the Titans turned to Tannehill, the quarterback who led the NFL in 2019 with a 117.5 passer rating.

Washington releases Adrian Peterson, turns to young backs
Washington released veteran running back Adrian Peterson on Friday, a stunning move by first-year coach Ron Rivera in the name of getting younger. Rivera called Peterson early in the morning asking him to come to the practice facility, then delivered the news the team was moving on from the 35-year-old star. Peterson played the past two seasons with Washington, rushing for 1,940 yards and 12 touchdowns in the fourth stop of a career that will likely earn him a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Now, after Guice's release following a domestic violence arrest, he, Peterson and longtime third-down back Chris Thompson are all gone, and the backfield has a decidedly young look. This is a very talented, gifted young man that did a lot of different things, Rivera said Thursday.

Redskins running backs finally healthy, ready for explosive 2019 season
RICHMOND, Va. - Its day two of Washington Redskins training camp in Richmond as the team prepares for a fresh start in 2019. The run production didnt hit the gear that the Washington Redskins expected a year ago. They had just drafted the explosive Guice from LSU in hopes of having a running core that could run and pass effectively with him and veteran Chris Thompson. Washington added veteran Peterson to the mix and watched him run for more than 1,000 yards. And with a clean bill of health, the Redskins know this could be a dangerous group of guys coming out of the backfield.
