"I’m a little bit late," Trump told reporters earlier after landing at Joint Base Andrews. "We’re gonna have a good game. Things are going along very well. The country’s doing well. The Democrats have to open it up," he added.Later on, Trump also joined Fox Sports commentators Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma for a casual on-air conversation during which he was asked about his football playing days at the New York Military Academy."I played tight end, but it was not quite football like this. It was a little bit easier. It wasn’t so tough," the US president replied. Trump, however, left the game before completion.Before him, only Richard Nixon in 1969 and Jimmy Carter in 1978 attended regular-season NFL games while serving the president. Earlier this year, Trump also became the first sitting US president to attend the Super Bowl. Trump was in attendance during the Philadelphia Eagles vs the Kansas City Chiefs game in February. He supported the Chiefs but it was the Eagles who came out triumphant to win the Lombardy Trophy.

US President Donald Trump has threatened NFL team Washington Commanders' football stadium deal over the moniker. The Commanders, who did away with the old moniker 'Redskins' in 2020, had announced a plan earlier this year to build a new stadium to RFK site in DC area - their home for more than three decades, but the proposal stays stalled in the D.C.

'Indians are being treated very unfairly,' Trump demands Washington and Cleveland return to old monikers

Josh Allen produced a monster performance as the Buffalo Bills trampled over the Jacksonville Jaguars 47-10 to maintain their perfect start to the NFL season on Monday.

Bills quarterback Allen was in superb form as Buffalo buried the Jags in an avalanche of first-half scoring that saw them power into a 34-3 lead at the break.

Allen threw four touchdowns and finished with 263 passing yards while Buffalo's defense gave Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence a torrid time at the Bills' Highmark Stadium.

Lawrence was sacked four times as the Bills sent winless Jacksonville sliding to their third defeat of the season from three games.

Bills running back James Cook grabbed the first touchdown of the game, rushing over from six yards to cap a 10-play, 70-yard opening drive.

After Jacksonville punted their first possession, Buffalo were back in the end zone on their next drive when Dalton Kincaid collected Allen's short pass to make it 13-0 after Tyler Bass's extra point.

Cam Little got Jacksonville on the board with a 41-yard field goal early in the second quarter, but Allen then took over with touchdown passes to Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir and Ty Johnson to leave Buffalo up by 31 points at the end of the second quarter.

The biggest roar of a one-sided first-half came when safety Damar Hamlin -- who almost died on the field after suffering a cardiac arrest in a game against Cincinnati last year -- snagged the first interception of his career to set up the drive which led to Shakir's touchdown.

<h2>Special place</h2>

Hamlin was mobbed by his Bills teammates after his maiden pick, and said they had been instrumental in his recovery last year.

"They were a big part of me being able to make this type of comeback," Hamlin said. "They were even happier than I was to get my first interception. That just shows the community we have here in Buffalo. It's a special place."

There was a flicker of offense from Jacksonville early in the second half, with Lawrence stitching together an eight-play, 70-yard drive that finished with Brenton Strange gathering a six-yard touchdown pass.

But two more Bass field goals left Buffalo 40-10 up before Ray Davis's late rushing touchdown from three yards completed the scoring.

In Monday's other game, the Cincinnati Bengals were left still looking for their first win of the season after suffering a 38-33 home defeat to the Washington Commanders.

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow made a bright start, finding Ja'Marr Chase for a 41-yard touchdown to open the scoring in the first quarter.

But thereafter Washington took over with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels showing a composure that belied his 23 years to guide the Commanders to a superb win.

Daniels finished with two touchdowns and 254 yards from 21 of 23 passes -- a record 91.3 percent completion rate for a rookie quarterback.

The Bengals, who had trailed by 15 early in the third quarter, got back to within five points after Burrow found Chase in the end zone in the fourth quarter.

Daniels though nervelessly converted a fourth down opportunity to keep a drive alive and then hit Terry McLaurin in the end zone for a 27-yard touchdown to make it 38-26.&nbsp;

Bengals rusher Zack Moss cut the Washington lead with 40 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, skipping over from one yard out to help make it 38-33, but it was too little too late for the home side.

Monday Night Football Week 3: Bill crush Jaguars, Bengals lose to Commanders at home

The Washington Commanders succumbed to a heavy defeat to Dallas Cowboys, 45-10, which raised concerns over head coach Ron Rivera and his staff's job security. However, the fourth-year head coach spoke at length about the situation and said as quoted by ESPN, "I've told you before I'm not worried about anything. All I'm going to do is do my job and see how things go. That's the only thing I can do."

It is to be noted that multiple players said they're not focused on the coach's fate.

"It's only when you guys ask," Washington left tackle Charles Leno, Jr. stated.

"No one else is bringing this s---- up. We don't talk about this s----; we don't care about this stuff, we're listening to our coaches following game plan and trying to win games," he further opined.

In 2020, Washington won the NFC East under Rivera, however, the script has not remained the same from there on. They haven't finished with a winning record since 2016.

Owner John Harris has brushed aside all claims&nbsp;for an overhaul. He has confirmed that he wants to give the staff a full season to better evaluate the entire operation. However, the Commanders have lost three straight games and, in two nationally televised encounters, have been outscored 85-30.

<h2>PLAYERS NOT IN FAVOUR OF CHANGE OF PERSONNEL&nbsp;</h2>

"Who's going to step in and be the head coach? Who?" Leno mentioned.

"I don't know. ... Where we are right now I don't know that's going to help anything. I just feel like when you do stuff like that in the middle of the year, I don't know, I really don't know," he added.

Multiple players are not in favour of a change in the middle of the season. Quarterback Sam Howell pointed out in this regard, "It really doesn't impact anything in the locker room," Washington quarterback Sam Howell said.

"We just focus on what we can control, try to get better. Obviously, when things aren't going well people are going to talk about jobs for everybody -- not only coaches, players, too. We just have to zone it all out."

Commanders coach Ron Rivera 'not worried' about job status despite heavy 35-point loss vs Cowboys

The New York Giants rallied from 21 points down to win 31-28 at the Arizona Cardinals in a remarkable franchise-record equalling comeback on Sunday.

The Giants had lost their opening game, 40-0 to Dallas last week, and they had statisticians scrambling for details on the worst ever starts to an NFL season when they trailed 20-0 at half-time.

But quarterback Daniel Jones set about orchestrating a stunning turnaround, with a 13-yard rushing touchdown early in the third and although Cardinals quarterback Joshua Dobbs responded by connecting with Marquise Brown for a three-yard score, the Giants proved unstoppable.

New York put up 24 unanswered points in the remainder of the game before Graham Gano slotted a 34-yard field goal with 19 seconds left on the clock to put the Giants ahead.

Jones ended the game with three total touchdowns having thrown for 321 yards and rushed for another 59.

Running back Saquon Barkley had two touchdowns and rushed for 63 yards but had to come out of the game in the final stages with what appeared to be a serious ankle injury.

The 21-point comeback is the biggest by the Giants in the modern NFL era and matches wins against the Chicago Cardinals in 1949 and the Philadelphia Eagles four years earlier.

The Washington Commanders produced a big comeback of their own, overturning an 18-point deficit at the winless Denver Broncos to leave with a 35-33 victory.

Washington trailed 21-3 in the second, before they put up 18 unanswered points and then two rushing touchdowns from Brian Robinson Jr in the fourth quarter put them 11 points up.

But a field goal for Denver narrowed the gap and then with the clock running out a 'Hail Mary' pass from Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson was tipped on and eventually collected in the end zone by Brandon Johnson to give Denver the chance of a comeback of their own.

They were unable to make the two-point conversion needed to force overtime however, leaving their new coach Sean Payton with a 0-2 start to the season.

Earlier, Patrick Mahomes threw for two touchdowns as the Kansas City Chiefs bounced back from their season-opening loss to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Reigning NFL Most Valuable Player Mahomes overcame a slow start to finish with 305 yards from 29-of-41 passes to give the reigning Super Bowl champions a gritty 17-9 win on the road in Florida.

Mahomes and the Chiefs had been upset at home by the Detroit Lions in their opening game of the season after a litany of blunders by the receiving corps.

<h2>Kelce returns</h2>

But with fit-again tight end Travis Kelce back in the starting line-up, Mahomes looked more like his old self as the Chiefs dug deep for a hard-earned victory.

Mahomes picked out favourite target Kelce for a third quarter touchdown after earlier connecting with Skyy Moore for the Chiefs' other touchdown.

The Dallas Cowboys moved to 2-0 with another confident victory, beating the New York Jets 30-10.

The Jets, who lost quarterback Aaron Rodgers for the season after he snapped his achilles tendon in the win over Buffalo on Monday, had little joy against an impressive Cowboys defense.

Rodgers' deputy, Zach Wilson, threw three interceptions while the Cowboys benefitted from five field goals from rookie Brandon Aubrey.

The Bills bounced back with a 38-10 rout of the Las Vegas Raiders with quarterback Josh Allen tossing three touchdowns with no interceptions to finish with 274 yards from 31-of-37 attempts.

But while the Chiefs and Bills got back to winning ways, the Cincinnati Bengals fell to 0-2 after a 27-24 loss to divisional rivals Baltimore.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson threw for two touchdowns and 237 yards as Bengals counterpart Joe Burrow once again struggled to get into the groove.

Burrow led a late rally to close the Bengals' deficit to three points with a pass to Tee Higgins in the end zone with 3:28 remaining in the fourth quarter.

But Baltimore held on to possession on the next drive to run down the clock as the Ravens improved to 2-0.

In Detroit, Lions quarterback Jared Goff's bid to set a new NFL record for the longest passing streak without an interception came to an abrupt end in a 37-31 overtime defeat to the Seattle Seahawks in the Motor City.

Goff had been within touching distance of Aaron Rodgers' record of 402 passes without a takeaway after moving to 383 attempts without an interception.

But the streak ended when Goff was picked off by Tre Brown in the fourth quarter for a touchdown to help Seattle into 31-21 lead.

NFL: Giants, Commanders produce epic comebacks, Chiefs get back to winning ways

Washington Commanders recently roped in Eric Bieniemy as the new&nbsp;offensive coordinator and he has also taken over as the assistant head coach. However, coach&nbsp;Ron Rivera has claimed that some players are having issues coping with Bieniemy's intensity during practice sessions. When asked to comment on this, Bieniemy has ruled out any changes in his methods and remains adamant about not altering his approach.&nbsp;

"I'm always going to be loud, always going to be vocal, always going to demand from my leaders," Bieniemy said after the practice, adding he is aware of what would happen if he altered his belief. "If I ain't doing my job, my ass gets fired. It's my job and my responsibility to make sure I'm getting our guys to do what I'm expecting them to do," the assistant coach opined.

Bieniemy further said, "I want our guys to clearly understand we don't take anything for granted. You see me pull players and have long discussions with them so we're always on the same page.

However, coach Ron Rivera has claimed that some players are having issues coping with Bieniemy's intensity during practice sessions. When asked to comment on this, Bieniemy has ruled out any changes in his methods and remains adamant about not altering his approach. "I'm always going to be loud, always going to be vocal, always going to demand from my leaders," Bieniemy said after the practice, adding he is aware of what would happen if he altered his belief. "If I ain't doing my job, my ass gets fired. It's my job and my responsibility to make sure I'm getting our guys to do what I'm expecting them to do," the assistant coach opined.

NFL: Commanders coach Ron Rivera reveals some players concerned over Bieniemy's intensity in practice

Dan Snyder's controversial tenure as owner of the Washington Commanders ended on Thursday as NFL clubs unanimously approved the sale of the team to a group led by private equity investor Josh Harris.

"NFL clubs today unanimously approved the sale of the Washington Commanders to Josh Harris and his limited partners at a special league meeting in Minneapolis," the National Football League said in a statement.

The investment group led by Harris, which also includes NBA legend Magic Johnson, is paying $6.05 billion, a record for a North American sports franchise, ESPN reported.

Snyder's departure comes with a final sanction, the NFL also announced Thursday that he will pay the league $60 million after an investigation led by former prosecutor Mary Jo White substantiated allegations of misconduct and financial improprieties made by former employees of the club.

The league said the payment would be made "in the resolution of Ms. White's findings and all outstanding matters."

Snyder had been majority owner of the Commanders since 1999 and his family became sole owners after he bought out his limited partners two years ago.

Harris, co-owner of the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers and NHL's New Jersey Devils and a partner in English Premier League side Crystal Palace, is an asset management firm executive who grew up in suburban Washington.

Harris reached an agreement to purchase the club on May 12, but the vote by owners was delayed as financial details that kept the deal in line with NFL requirements were worked out.

"Congratulations to Josh Harris and his impressive group of partners," league commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "Josh will be a great addition to the NFL. He has a remarkable record in business, sports, and in his communities," he added.

"The diverse group that Josh has put together is outstanding for its business acumen and strong Washington ties and we welcome them to the NFL as well."

Snyder has been targeted by multiple investigations in recent years.

A US congressional probe found that he "permitted and participated in" a troubling toxic workplace culture for decades, with the NFL failing to protect workers from sexual misconduct.

The probe was initiated after the NFL declined to release the full results of an earlier investigation in which attorney Beth Wilkinson found bullying, intimidation, sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct by executives of the team formerly known as the Washington Redskins.

While Snyder and the club were fined $10 million and day-to-day operations were turned over to his wife, Tanya Snyder, the league was criticized for failing to make all of Wilkinson's findings public.

<h2>Financial misconduct -</h2>

The team was also investigated for unlawful financial conduct, settling lawsuits with the District of Columbia and Maryland over the season ticket deposit funds of supporters.

Goodell appointed White to lead an independent investigation after allegations against Snyder were made by former Commanders employee Tiffani Johnston at a congressional roundtable in February 2022.

Goodell expanded White's review in April 2022 to include alleged financial misconduct at the club, after those allegations were first raised before a congressional committee.

White's investigation sustained Johnston's allegation that Snyder put his hand on her thigh under a table at a team dinner, and later pushed her toward the back seat of his car.

White also found that the Commanders intentionally shielded and withheld revenue that should have been shared with other NFL clubs, a violation of league policies.

The investigation identified approximately $11 million in revenue that the team appeared to have improperly shielded from sharing with other NFL franchises and owners.

While Snyder had long resisted calls to sell, the Snyders announced last November that they were exploring options to sell the club he purchased in 1999 for $800 million.

During his tenure the team also floundered on the field. From 1971 to 1992 the club won three of five Super Bowl appearances.

Under Snyder, Washington won the NFC East division four times but was 2-6 in the playoffs. The Commanders have not won a playoff game since 2005.

NFL confirms sale of Washington Commanders to Harris group for whopping $6.05 billion

Washington Commanders owner&nbsp;Dan&nbsp;Snyder&nbsp;is close to a deal to sell the NFL franchise to an investment group led by Josh Harris and including former NBA star Magic Johnson, NFL Network reported on Thursday.

The report said that while the deal is not final and no agreement has been sent to the NFL's offices, the parties are close to a deal valued at just below $6 billion.

Harris owns the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers and NHL's New Jersey Devils and is currently a minority owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and also has a stake in Premier League club Crystal Palace.

Snyder&nbsp;and his wife Tanya announced in November they were exploring purchase deals for the club.

Snyder&nbsp;has owned the Commanders, formerly the Washington Redskins, since 1999 but his ownership has been heavily criticised and faced several investigations.

A US Congressional report released in December said that&nbsp;Snyder&nbsp;"permitted and participated" in a toxic workplace culture and tried to dissuade witnesses from cooperating with a 14-month investigation launched by the league.

In 2021, the NFL fined the club -- then going by the name of the Washington Football Team -- $10 million and required&nbsp;Snyder&nbsp;to relinquish day-to-day operations for several months.

Sales of NFL franchises need to be approved by the NFL's finance committee and at least 24 of the league's 32 owners. Owners are scheduled to meet in Minneapolis in May for their Spring League Meeting.

The report said that Harris's group includes Maryland businessman and philanthropist Mitchell Rales as well as Johnson.

Johnson has held ownership stakes in baseball's Los Angeles Dodgers and Major League Soccer's Los Angeles Football Club.

Commanders owner Snyder close to sale deal: Report

Basketball Hall of Famer Earvin 'Magic' Johnson has joined the group which is bidding to own the National Football League's (NFL) Washington Commanders franchise. The news, confirmed to ESPN by sources on Monday, said that Johnson is now part of the Josh Harris-led group in&nbsp;the bidding process.

If the deal comes through, this is will be the fourth team in which Johnson will have stakes as he already is a part owner of Major League Baseball's (MLB) Los Angeles Dodgers, Women league of National Basketball Association's (NBA) Los Angeles Sparks and Major League Soccer's (MLS) Los Angeles FC.

Notably, Johnson played for NBA's Los Angeles Lakers as a player and later got associated with the team in different roles, including as a coach.

Harris, who is leading the group which has bid for the ownership of the Washington Commanders, currently owns NBA's Philadelphia 76ers and National Hockey League's (NHL) New Jersey Devils.

Josh Harris had earlier tried to buy the Denver Broncos last summer but the deal could not come through. Magic Johnson was also part of that process with Harris.&nbsp;

As for the Commanders, Forbes has listed the price of the franchise at $ 5.6 billion after the current owners, Dan and Tanya Snyder made their intention of making the&nbsp;franchise public in November last year.

Apart from Magic, a Washington D.C. billionaire, Mitchell Rales, with a net worth of $ 5.5 billion according to Forbes, has also joined the Josh Harris camp in the bidding process, further strengthening their position.

The involvement of Magic Johnson was first reported by Sportico, however, it is uncertain as of now how much the former basketball star would be investing.

Sources have also told ESPN that apart from the Harris group, NBA's Houston Rockets' owner Tilman Fertitta was another group who has visited the Commanders facility. There are a total of four groups in contention and the other two are anonymous so far.

The NFL owners are meeting next week in Phoenix but the deal, even if it happens, is expected to come through in late May sometime, informed the sources to ESPN.

NFL: Earvin 'Magic' Johnson joins Josh Harris-led group bidding to buy Washington Commanders

Quarterback Carson Wentz has been released by the Washington Commanders after just one season on Monday. The move comes without a surprise after what was a horrid season that ended with eight wins, eight losses and one tie. Wentz played in eight games with seven starts, managing a 2-5 win-loss record.

By releasing Wentz, Washington would save around $26 million in salary cap for the upcoming offseason as he had no guarantee money despite two years left on his contract. This is the Commanders' second release after they released defensive back Bobby McCain on Monday and saved around $2.3 million on the salary cap.

Wentz, who will now look for his fourth-team in as many years, can sign with any team before the start of the free agency. Washington had acquired Wentz from the Indianapolis Colts in a trade last year that included multiple second and third round picks.

Wentz was the no. 2 draft pick in 2016 and was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles. The QB almost had his MVP season in 2017 before getting injured in the postseason in what was a Super Bowl-winning run for the Eagles. Wentz eventually was traded to the Colts after five seasons with the Eagles in favour of fresh recruit Jalen Hurts.

With the Colts, Wentz came back to form strongly and delivered one of his most prolific seasons since 2017 with 27 touchdowns and just seven interceptions. A loss to the 2-14 Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 18, however, dimmed his&nbsp;possibilities of staying with the Colts for the upcoming season.&nbsp;

All in all, Wentz has started in 92 games and thrown 151 touchdowns along with 66 interceptions. A lot of injuries have marred his career throughout and this season might be his last chance to be a starter for an NFL team for which he clearly possesses talent and skills.

NFL: Washington Commanders release QB Carson Wentz after just one season

Former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who recently joined the Washington Commanders in the same capacity, explained moving out after winning the second Super Bowl trophy in four years during his introductory news conference. &nbsp;

If summarized in a few words, 'it was time to move on' for Bieniemy after a successful 10-season stint with the Chiefs. During his time as an assistant to head coach Andy Reid, he saw Kansas City going to five consecutive AFC championship games and two Super Bowls.

“When it was all said and done with, when it was time to move on, it was time to accept this new challenge. You always envision it in a different way," he said. The new Commanders OC and assistant head coach, who will be doing the play-calling unlike with the Chiefs, also said that one of the reasons to move out is because he wanted a new challenge. “Comfort is the enemy of progress. So this presents a challenge to me," added Bieniemy.&nbsp;

While many would have liked to see him become a head coach in the National Football League (NFL), where the racial diversity among head coaches is much talked about, Bieniemy said that he's not currently thinking about it. Notably, Bieniemy has interviewed with 15 different teams since 2019 for the position of the head coach.

"I’m focusing on being the best coach that I can be today. Being a head coach, if that’s to happen, it will take care of itself. I can't worry about the things I can't control," he said.&nbsp;

Talking about what he's looking forward to with Washington, he responded by saying that in Kansas, he was part of a family within the organization and that meant the most to him. “But now it’s about broadening my circles and expanding, and getting to know my new family,” he said.
