NFL HOSTS “BRIDGE TO SUCCESS” PROGRAM
League helps prepare former NFL players for life off the field​
New York, NY – More than 100 NFL Legends and their significant others will take part in the NFL's Bridge to Success program from Oct. 18-21 in San Diego, Ca. Hosted annually, Bridge to Success will provide players the opportunity to celebrate their past career, assess their present, and provide them with best practices and actionable items to promote future success.
On day one, each attendee will be paired with a transition coach to develop personal goals and identify the resources needed to reach them. In addition to personalized mentorship, throughout the program participants will engage in panels, breakout sessions, and networking designed to prepare them for the next chapter of their lives and post-football careers.
 "The Bridge to Success meets a very real need for former NFL players during their transition into a post-football career," said KEITH ELIAS, Director of NFL Player Engagement, and former New York Giants and Indianapolis Colts running back. "I look forward to helping inspire this next round of NFL Legends and hope that we provide them valuable insight that propels them into the next chapter of their lives."
This year's agenda features sessions with topics on NFL player benefits, interview training, LinkedIn training, introductions to careers in various industries, and more. The program also includes a networking event, encouraging all attendees grow their professional connections. Over 40 Fortune 500 companies, including Amazon and Pepsi, will be onsite to meet with and interview attendees on the final day of the program.
"Every player's transition is unique. Some struggle more than others, but we all go through it," said BEN HARTSOCK, 2016 Bridge to Success participant. "Through this program, I enjoyed reconnecting with teammates and meeting players who came before and after my time. We learned about available resources provided by the NFL and NFLPA, and were led through several insightful exercises that helped provide clarity in our career, relationships, personal development and more."
The Bridge to Success is one of several training platforms that NFL Player Engagement offers to empower and equip former players for their post-on-field NFL experiences. For more information on how the league supports players both on and off the field, click here.

STATEMENT FROM NFL COMMISSIONER ROGER GOODELL ON THE PASSING OF U.S. REPRESENTATIVE ELIJAH CUMMINGS
​"I was deeply saddened to learn this morning of the passing of Congressman Elijah Cummings. Congressman Cummings was a favorite son of Baltimore and his beloved district was always close to his heart, whether partnering with the Baltimore Ravens to advance social justice or inviting the NFL to speak to hundreds of high school students about the importance of fair competition and staying away from performance-enhancing drugs. As an attorney, judge, state delegate, and Member of the House of Representatives, he dedicated his remarkable life to serving others with character, integrity, and compassion. The NFL joins the Baltimore Ravens in extending our sincere condolences to the Congressman's family, constituents, and friends throughout the country."​

Notas de la NFL de la séptima semana
LA NFL LLEVA UN RITMO EMOCIONANTE CUANDO YA TIENE A LA VISTA EL 100º PARTIDO DE SU 100A TEMPORADA
Para ayudar a celebrar la 100ª temporada de la NFL, cada semana tendrá un Partido de la semana NFL100. Cada juego será un guiño a enfrentamientos trascendentales disputados en la historia, una rivalidad feroz cimentada durante décadas, un duelo de equipos originales y/o un juego en el que quedó en los anales. La NFL designó el duelo del domingo Raiders-Packers como el Partido de la Semana NFL100 porque involucra a equipos con memorias indelebles en tres encuentros previos. El más memorable de todos fue el Super Bowl II, celebrado el 14 de enero de 1968 en el Orange Bowl de Miami, Florida, el que resultó ser el último partido de la carrera VINCE LOMBARDI como entrenador de Green Bay. Los Packers, que venían de su triunfo en el denominado Tazón del hielo (Ice Bowl) sobre los Cowboys, derrotaron a los campeones de la AFL, los Raiders, 33-14. … Casi 25 años más tarde, hacia el final de un partido duro contra los L.A. Raiders el 26 de diciembre de 1993, LeROY BUTLER forzó un balón suelto de los Raiders recuperado por el miembro del Salón de la Fama REGGIE WHITE. Después de correr 10 yardas, White lateralizó hacia Butler, que lo llevó las 25 yardas que faltaban para llegar hasta la zona de anotación e inventó el Salto de Lambeau (Lambeau Leap) al tiempo que Green Bay se aseguraba una plaza en la postemporada … Después, el 22 de diciembre de 2003, en Oakland, el miembro del Salón de la Fama BRETT FAVRE, apenas un día después de la muerte de su padre, lanzó 399 yardas y cuatro anotaciones ante una audiencia televisiva nacional del clásico de lunes por la noche Monday Night Football, encabezando a Green Bay a obtener un triunfo bisagra que catapultó a los Packers hacia la postemporada. … Incidentalmente, luego de la derrota de los Raiders ante los Packers de Lombardi en el Super Bowl II, los Raiders ganaron los cinco siguientes encuentros con Green Bay, y no perderían ante los Packers por nada menos que 23 años, lapso en el que se alzaron con tres Super Bowls.
LOS DUELOS MÁS COMPETITIVOS JAMÁS VISTOS. Ninguna otra temporada a lo largo de seis semanas produjo más partidos decididos por siete o menos puntos que la de 2019. Este año, 51 de los 92 juegos disputados hasta el momento (el 55.4 por ciento) fueron decididos por siete o menos puntos, incluyendo nueve de los 14 encuentros de la sexta semana. Esta temporada también está empatando la mayor cantidad de partidos definidos por un punto a lo largo de sexta semana desde la fusión de 1970.
Las temporadas con las mayores cantidades de juegos decididos por uno y siete o menos puntos a lo largo de seis semanas:

100º DE LA 100A. Uno de los partidos del primer turno del domingo marcará el 100º juego de la 100ª temporada de la NFL. La liga completó 92 partidos llegando a esta semana. Mientras la 100ª patada inicial se aproxima, varios jugadores y equipos de la NFL están a ritmo de desafiar algunas de las marcas más emblemáticas. 
La semana comienza el jueves (8:20 PM, hora de New York, FOX/NFLN/AMAZON) en el Empower Field de Mile High, donde PATRICK MAHOMES y los KANSAS CITY CHIEFS se encuentran con JOE FLACCO y los DENVER BRONCOS. Con 2,104 yardas aéreas, Mahomes está a ritmo de quebrar la marca de la NFL de una sola temporada ostentada por el ex mariscal de campo de Denver PEYTON MANNING (5,477 en 2013). 
En la tarde del domingo (4:25 PM, hora de New York, FOX), LAMAR JACKSON y los BALTIMORE RAVENS viajan para vérselas con RUSSELL WILSON y los SEATTLE SEAHAWKS. Wilson tiene un índice de pasador superior a 100 en cada uno de los primeros seis partidos de Seattle y está a ritmo de quebrar dos marcas de la NFL para una sola temporada ostentadas por AARON RODGERS: su índice de pasador de 122.5 registrado en 2011 y su porcentaje de intercepciones de 0.34, de 2018. Mientras tanto, la semana pasada Jackson tuvo 236 yardas aéreas y 152 yardas por tierra, un pico de carrera, con una anotación en el triunfo de su equipo 23-17 sobre Cincinnati. Sus 152 yardas por tierra significaron la cuarta mayor cantidad lograda por un mariscal de campo en un solo partido en la historia de la NFL, incluyendo postemporada. Jackson, que registró el tercer juego de su carrera con al menos 115 yardas por tierra, es el primer mariscal de campo en la era del Super Bowl en concebir al menos 115 yardas por tierra en al menos tres partidos en sus primeras dos temporadas.
Para cerrar la séptima semana, el clásico de lunes en la noche Monday Night Football (8:15 PM, hora de New York, ESPN), con los NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS visitando a los NEW YORK JETS. New England esta temporada mantuvo a los mariscales de campo de la NFL en un índice de pasador de 42.6. A lo largo de una temporada completa desde 2000, los Tampa Bay Buccaneers de 2002 mantuvieron a sus oponentes con el índice de pasador más bajo: 48.4. También a lo largo de seis semanas, New England aventajó a sus oponentes en el marcador por 142 puntos. Desde la fusión de 1970, solamente los St. Louis Rams de 1999, campeones del Super Bowl (+154), tuvieron un diferencial de puntos más alto a lo largo de seis semanas.

QUEDAN MUCHOS DUELOS PARA EL INFARTO. La esperanza es un recurso abundante a lo largo de la NFL. Eso es porque en 2018, tras la séptima semana, cinco de los 12 equipos que clasificaron a la postemporada tenían registro de .500 o peor en las posiciones de la NFL. Después de que concluya esta semana el lunes por la noche en el estadio MetLife, es muy probable que al menos un equipo con marca de .500 o peor aún termine alcanzando la postemporada. Desde 2011, al menos un equipo clasificó para la postemporada tras haber arrancado el año con registro de .500 o peor a lo largo de la séptima semana.
Los equipos que clasificaron a la postemporada que tenían marca de .500 o peor a lo largo de siete semanas, desde 2011:

Ambos jugadores quedan libres en la séptima tras haber comenzado la temporada a ritmo tórrido. Barrett y Garrett están empatados en el liderazgo de la NFL con nueve capturas. La última vez que más de un jugador tuvieron nueve o más capturas a lo largo de seis semanas fue en 2013 (ROBERT MATHIS y JUSTIN HOUSTON tuvieron 9.5 cada uno).​
ACARREANDO ANOTACIONES A DIESTRA Y SINIESTRA. Los clubes de la NFL se combinan para 167 acarreos anotadores a lo largo de seis semanas de juego. Solamente las campañas de 1979 y 1976 tuvieron más en la historia de la NFL al llegar a la séptima semana.
Los mariscales de campo llevan acarreadas 31 anotaciones durante la temporada 2019, superando a la de 2002 (28) para la mayor cantidad de anotaciones terrestres conseguidas por mariscales de campo a lo largo de las primeras seis semanas de una temporada desde la fusión de 1970. En la sexta semana, los mariscales de campo totalizaron 10 acarreos anotadores, superando a la decimotercera semana de la temporada 2015 (nueve) para la mayor cantidad en una sola semana desde 1970.

Week 7 NFL preview
NFL ON THRILLING PACE WITH 100TH GAME ON TAP
To help celebrate the NFL’s 100th season, each week will feature an NFL 100 Game of the Week. Each game is a nod to a momentous game played, a fierce rivalry that spans decades, a matchup of original teams and/or a game in which history was made . The NFL has designated Sunday’s Raiders-Packers matchup as the NFL100 Game of the Week because the contest involves teams that made indelible memories in three previous meetings. Most memorable was Super Bowl II, Jan. 14, 1968, at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Fla., the final game of VINCE LOMBARDI’s Green Bay coaching career. The Packers, fresh off their Ice Bowl win over the Cowboys, held off the AFL champion Raiders, 33-14. … Nearly 25 years later, late in a frigid game against the L.A. Raiders on Dec. 26, 1993, LeROY BUTLER forced a Raiders fumble recovered by Pro Football Hall of Famer REGGIE WHITE. After rumbling 10 yards, White lateraled to Butler, who covered the remaining 25 yards into the end zone and invented the Lambeau Leap as Green Bay clinched a playoff berth … Then, on Dec. 22, 2003, in Oakland, Pro Football Hall of Famer BRETT FAVRE, only a day after his father’s death, threw for 399 yards and four touchdowns before a Monday Night Football television audience, leading Green Bay to a pivotal win that catapulted the Packers to the playoffs. … Incidentally, following the Raiders’ loss to Lombardi’s Packers in Super Bowl II, the Raiders won the next five meetings with Green Bay, and wouldn’t lose to the Packers again for 23 years, capturing three Super Bowls in that span.
MOST COMPETITIVE CONTESTS EVER: No other season through six weeks has produced more games decided by seven-or-fewer points than 2019. This year, 51 of 92 games (55.4 percent) have been decided by seven-or-fewer points, including nine of 14 games in Week 6. This season also is tied for the most one-point games through Week 6 since the 1970 merger.

100TH OF THE 100TH: One of the early contests Sunday will mark the 100th game of the NFL’s 100th season. The league has completed 92 games entering this week. As the 100th kickoff approaches, several NFL players and teams are on pace to challenge some of the game’s most esteemed records.
The week begins Thursday (8:20 PM ET, FOX/NFLN/AMAZON) at Empower Field at Mile High, where PATRICK MAHOMES and the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS meet JOE FLACCO and the DENVER BRONCOS. With 2,104 passing yards, Mahomes is on pace to break the single-season NFL record held by former Denver quarterback PEYTON MANNING (5,477 in 2013).
On Sunday afternoon (4:25 PM ET, FOX), LAMAR JACKSON and the BALTIMORE RAVENS travel to meet RUSSELL WILSON and the SEATTLE SEAHAWKS. Wilson has a passer rating over 100 in each of Seattle’s first six games and is on pace to break two single-season NFL records held by AARON RODGERS, his 122.5 passer rating in 2011 and his 0.34 interception percentage in 2018. Meanwhile, Jackson last week had 236 passing yards and a career-high 152 rushing yards with a touchdown in a 23-17 win over Cincinnati. His 152 rushing yards were the fourth-most by a quarterback in a single game in NFL history, including the postseason. Jackson, who registered his third career game with at least 115 rushing yards, is the first quarterback in the Super Bowl era to register at least 115 rushing yards in at least three games in his first two seasons.
To close Week 7 on Monday Night Football (8:15 PM ET, ESPN), the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS visit the NEW YORK JETS. New England has held NFL quarterbacks this season to a 42.6 passer rating. Over a full season since 2000, the 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers have held opponents to the lowest passer rating, 48.4. New England also through six weeks has outscored opponents by 142 points. Since the 1970 merger, only the 1999 Super Bowl champion St. Louis Rams (plus-154) had a higher point-differential through six weeks.

PLENTY OF HEARTBEATS REMAINING: Hope is in plentiful supply across the NFL. That’s because in 2018 after Week 7, five of the 12 teams that qualified for the playoffs were either .500 or below in the NFL standings. After this week concludes on Monday night at MetLife Stadium, it’s very likely that at least one team sitting at .500 or below will still make the playoffs. Since 2011, at least one team has qualified for the playoffs after beginning the year at-or-below .500 through Week 7.

BARRETT & GARRETT, LLC: Tampa Bay linebacker SHAQUIL BARRETT and Cleveland defensive end MYLES GARRETT have earned their byes this week. Both players are off in Week 7 after beginning the season on a torrid pace. Barrett and Garrett are tied for the NFL lead with nine sacks. The last time multiple players had nine-or-more sacks through six weeks was in 2013 (ROBERT MATHIS and JUSTIN HOUSTON each had 9.5).
RUSHING TOUCHDOWNS ON UPWARD SLOPE: NFL clubs have combined for 167 rushing touchdowns through six weeks of play. Only the 1979 and 1976 seasons had more in NFL history entering Week 7.
At the quarterback position alone, NFL signal-callers have rushed for 31 touchdowns during the 2019 season, surpassing 2002 (28) for the most rushing touchdowns by quarterbacks through the first six weeks of a season since the 1970 merger. In Week 6, quarterbacks totaled 10 rushing touchdowns, surpassing Week 13 of the 2015 season (nine) for the most in a single week since 1970.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (4-2) AT DENVER BRONCOS (2-4)
Week 7 of the NFL’s 100th season kicks off on Thursday, October 17 (8:20 PM ET, FOX/NFL Network/Amazon Prime), as the Kansas City Chiefs travel to Denver to visit the Broncos in an AFC West showdown. It will mark the 118th regular-season meeting in the rivalry, with the Chiefs holding the all-time series advantage, 63-54. Kansas City has won the past seven meetings, including both 2018 matchups by a combined 11 points.
Kansas City quarterback PATRICK MAHOMES enters Thursday night with 7,485 passing yards in 24 career games and needs 15 yards to become the fastest player in NFL history to reach 7,500 passing yards. In 2019, Mahomes leads the league with 2,104 passing yards through Week 6 while ranking second in passer rating (111.9) and tied for second in touchdown passes (14). Wide receiver TYREEK HILL had his sixth career game with at least two touchdown catches in last week, the most in the NFL since 2017. Tight end TRAVIS KELCE aims for his fifth game in a row against the Broncos with a touchdown catch, and his 762 career receiving yards against Denver are the most against any opponent in his career.
In Week 6, Denver won its second consecutive game, defeating Tennessee, 16-0, as kicker BRANDON McMANUS converted all three of his field-goal attempts and running back PHILLIP LINDSAY rushed for 70 yards and the game’s only touchdown. Running back ROYCE FREEMAN added 76 scrimmage yards (42 receiving, 34 rushing) and a team-high five catches in the win. Lindsay (544 scrimmage yards) and Freeman (429) are the only pair of running back teammates each with at least 400 scrimmage yards in 2019.
The Denver defense recorded its first shutout since Week 14 of the 2017 season, while registering seven sacks and three interceptions, both season highs. Defensive end DEREK WOLFE had two sacks and safety JUSTIN SIMMONS recorded an interception for the second consecutive game. Cornerback CHRIS HARRIS registered his 20th career interception last week, becoming the only cornerback since 2011 with 20 interceptions and at least four sacks (4.5). Defensive end VON MILLER is one of three active players with 100 career sacks (100.5) and his 18 tackles for loss against Kansas City are the most against any opponent in his career.

  • With two games remaining in Week 6, quarterbacks have rushed for 31 touchdowns during the 2019 season, surpassing 2002 (28) for the most rushing touchdowns by quarterbacks through the first six weeks of a season since 1970.

    In Week 6, quarterbacks have totaled 10 rushing touchdowns heading into the final two contests, surpassing Week 13 of the 2015 season (nine) for the most in a single week since 1970.
     
  • Minnesota wide receiver STEFON DIGGS had seven receptions for 167 yards and three touchdowns in the Vikings' 38-20 win over Philadelphia.

    With two games remaining in Week 6, there have been five individual performances of at least three touchdown receptions in 2019, tied with the 1992 season (five) for the most such performances at this point in a season since 1970.

    In total, there have been 11 individual performances of at least three scrimmage touchdowns in 2019, tied with the 1983 season (11) for the second-most through the first six weeks of a season in NFL history. Only the 2015 season (12) had more such individual performances at this point in a season.
     
  • Carolina running back CHRISTIAN McCAFFREY and wide receiver CURTIS SAMUEL each had a rushing and receiving touchdown in the Panthers' 37-26 win over Tampa Bay at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. The London series continues in Week 8 when the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams face off at Wembley Stadium.

    McCaffrey and Samuel are the third pair of teammates to each record a rushing and receiving touchdown in the same game since 1980 and first since November 10, 2013, when New Orleans Saints running backs DARREN SPROLES and PIERRE THOMAS each had a rushing and receiving touchdown.

    Carolina recorded seven sacks and five interceptions in the win, becoming the first team with at least seven sacks and five interceptions in a single game since the MIAMI DOLPHINS (eight sacks, six interceptions) on December 6, 1998.

  • Seattle quarterback RUSSELL WILSON passed for 295 yards and two touchdowns with zero interceptions for a 117.6 passer rating and added a rushing touchdown in the Seahawks' 32-28 win at Cleveland.

    Wilson, who has recorded a passer rating of 100 or higher in each of Seattle's first six games of the season, joined AARON RODGERS (12 games in 2011), TOM BRADY (eight in 2007) and CARSON PALMER (six in 2005) as the only quarterbacks with a passer rating of 100 or higher in each of their team's first six games of a season in NFL history.

    Wilson, who is playing in his eighth NFL season, recorded his 67th career game with at least two touchdown passes and tied Pro Football Hall of Famer BRETT FAVRE (67 games) for the third-most such games in a player's first eight seasons in league annals.

    Darnold, at 22 years and 130 days old, is the youngest player in the Super Bowl era with a touchdown pass of at least 90 yards.

    As the first half expired, Dallas kicker BRETT MAHER converted a 62-yard field goal, his second career field goal of at least 60 yards, and joined SEBASTIAN JANIKOWSKI (two) and GREG ZUERLEIN (two) as the only kickers with at least two career field goals of 60-or-more yards in NFL history.
  • Other notable performances from Sunday include:
  • ​San Francisco quarterback JIMMY GAROPPOLO passed for 243 yards in the 49ers' 20-7 win at the Los Angeles Rams. San Francisco advanced to 5-0 for the first time since 1990.

NFL STATEMENT ON THE STATUS OF ANTONIO BROWN
In response to questions about the status of Antonio Brown, the NFL released the following statement:
"Antonio Brown was released today by the New England Patriots and is currently an unrestricted free agent.  Our office is presently investigating multiple allegations, some of which are the subject of pending litigation.  We have as yet made no findings regarding these issues.  The investigation is ongoing and will be pursued vigorously and expeditiously. 
"As long as Mr. Brown is a free agent, placement on the Commissioner's exempt list is not appropriate.  If he is signed by a club, such placement may become appropriate at any time depending on the status of the investigation.  Upon the conclusion of the investigation, he may also be subject to discipline if the investigation finds that he has violated the law or league policies."
