About the IRONMAN World Championship
Since its inception in 1978 on the Island of O`ahu, the IRONMAN World Championship has etched its name in history through stellar performances, inspirational participants and emotional memories.

The most iconic one-day sporting event in the world is the culmination of 40 global IRONMAN events with over 94,000 athletes around the world striving for one of the coveted qualifying slots. The 2021 edition of the event took place in St. George, Utah in May 2022, becoming the first location to host the event outside of Hawai`i since its origins in 1978. After a two-year hiatus from Hawai`i due to COVID, the race returns to Kona and takes place for the first time as a two-day event in October for the 2022 edition of the VinFast IRONMAN World Championship. The 2023 VinFast IRONMAN World Championship will see the event continue with the two-day format but with a dedicated race day for women and dedicated race day for men.

FIFA WORLD CUP 2022™ OPENER DELIVERS 4.0 MILLION VIEWERS ON TELEMUNDO AND PEACOCK

November 21, 2022 By admin Leave a Comment

Qatar-Ecuador Up 164% vs. Russia-Saudi Arabia Opener in 2018

World Cup Powers Peacock to No. 1 on iOS App Store

Opening Match is Most-Watched Sunday Morning Sports Program on Spanish-Language TV in Three Years and Ranks No. 8 On Record

DOHA, QATAR – Nov. 22, 2022 – In an unprecedented FIFA World Cup contested in the fall — and the first to open on a Sunday in 40 years — Telemundo Deportes’ Spanish-language coverage of the host-nation Qatar v. Ecuador on Sunday averaged a Total Audience Delivery (TAD) of 4.0 million viewers across Telemundo, Peacock and Telemundo Deportes’ digital platforms, up 164% compared to the opening match in 2018. The start of the FIFA World Cup also powered Peacock to the No. 1 spot among free iOS apps on Sunday and Monday. Telemundo is the exclusive Spanish-language media rights holder to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 in the U.S.

The 4.0 million viewers for Ecuador’s 2-0 victory over Qatar on the opening day of the tournament outpaced Telemundo’s coverage of 2018 host-nation Russia’s 5-0 victory over Saudi Arabia (1.54 million viewers TAD) in the first game of that tournament, which took place on Thursday, June 14. This year’s World Cup is taking place in the fall to offset Qatar’s extreme summer heat. The match also surpassed the viewership for all but four of the 48 Group Matches in 2018, all of which featured either Mexico or Brazil.

Across Peacock and Telemundo’s digital streaming platforms, the game ranked as most streamed World Cup game ever in Spanish-language media history delivering an Average Minute Audience (AMA) of 832,000 viewers, representing 21% of the average audience, a high figure for sports streaming.

Telemundo dominated local markets during the full coverage window (10:30 am – 1:15 pm ET), ranking as the No. 1 network overall in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, Dallas and Phoenix. It was also the No. 1 Spanish-language network in Chicago, San Francisco, Orlando, Sacramento, Tampa, Philadelphia, Washington, Boston and Atlanta during the match.

Qatar-Ecuador also is the most-watched Sunday morning sports program on Spanish-language television in three years, since the FIFA Women’s World Cup Final featuring USA vs. Netherlands (July 7, 2019). It also ranks No. 8 among Sunday morning sports programs on Spanish-language television on record (TV only; since 2006).

Viewership figures are based on data from Nielsen and Adobe Analytics.

Following today’s three matches, coverage of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 on Telemundo and Peacock resumes Tuesday with four matches:

Date	Kickoff (ET)	Event	Announce Team
Tuesday	5 a.m.	Argentina vs. Saudi Arabia	Andres Cantor, Manuel Sol, Maxi Rodriguez
Tuesday	8 a.m.	Denmark vs. Tunisia	Copan Alvarez, Natalia Astrain, Sebastian Abreu
Tuesday	11 a.m.	Mexico vs. Poland	Andres Cantor, Manuel Sol, Miguel Herrera
Tuesday	2 p.m.	France vs. Australia	Sammy Sadovnik, Eduardo Biscayart, Juan Pablo Sorin

SNF ON THANKSGIVING NIGHT: PATRIOTS AT VIKINGS AT 8 P.M. ET ON NBC, PEACOCK AND TELEMUNDO

The Vikings had their seven-game winning streak snapped yesterday by the Dallas Cowboys. Wide receiver Justin Jefferson ranks second in the league in receiving yards (1,093) and running back Dalvin Cook is third in the NFC in rushing yards (799) to lead the Minnesota offensive attack.

New England won its third straight game yesterday (10-3 over the New York Jets) on a punt-return touchdown in the closing seconds by rookie defensive back Marcus Jones. Mac Jones threw for 246 yards and linebacker Matthew Judon added 1.5 sacks to his NFL-leading total of 13 in the victory.

The Patriots hold a 9-4 advantage in the all-time series.

Mike Tirico will call SNF on Thanksgiving Night alongside analysts and former NFL head coaches Tony Dungy and Jason Garrett. Melissa Stark will report from the sidelines and handle NBC Sports’ traditional Thanksgiving on-field postgame honors, and three-time Super Bowl referee Terry McAulay is the SNF rules analyst.

Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Vikings defensive lineman John Randle will star in NBC Sports’ special SNF on Thanksgiving Night show open.

The inaugural “John Madden Thanksgiving Celebration” will feature a special tribute during SNF on Thanksgiving Night dedicated to the Pro Football Hall of Famer and narrated by his son Mike Madden. Madden finished his broadcasting career with NBC’s SNF from 2006-08, capped by the thrilling Super Bowl XLIII featuring the Steelers’ 27-23 win over the Cardinals.

SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL: PACKERS AT EAGLES AT 8:20 P.M. ET ON NBC, PEACOCK AND UNIVERSO; FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA KICKS OFF COVERAGE AT 7 P.M. ET

The Eagles rallied from a 10-point deficit to beat the Indianapolis Colts 17-16 on the road yesterday. Hurts rushed for the go-ahead touchdown as part of his two-score afternoon as he accounted for 276 total yards (190 passing, 86 rushing). Hurts now has eight rushing touchdowns on the season and 21 in his career — the third-most by a quarterback in his first three seasons in the Super Bowl era, trailing Cam Newton (28) and Josh Allen (25).

Green Bay fell to the Tennessee Titans, 27-17, last Thursday. Rodgers threw for 227 yards and two touchdowns in the loss with both scores recorded by rookie wide receiver Christian Watson, who now has five touchdowns in the past two games.

Rodgers has thrown the most touchdown passes (83) on Sunday Night Football and is tied with Tom Brady for most wins by a quarterback (23) since SNF debuted during the 2006 NFL season.

Sunday marks the 44^th NBC SNF appearance for the Packers, second behind the Cowboys (56) for the most games in the show’s history. The Packers lead the all-time series 28-17 (including the postseason) versus the Eagles. Rodgers owns a career 4-2 record against Philadelphia, including 12 passing touchdowns.

Tirico will call Packers-Eagles with 17-time Emmy Award winner Cris Collinsworth (analyst) and Stark with McAulay serving as rules analyst.

NBC’s coverage of Sunday Night Football is led by executive producer Rob Hyland and director Drew Esocoff. SNF has won a record 11 Sports Emmys for Outstanding Live Sports Series.

TRAVIS KELCE STARS IN CHIEFS’ THRILLING SUNDAY NIGHT WIN AND THE BILLS SURVIVE THE STORM, HIGHLIGHTING PETER KING’S WEEK 11 EDITION OF “FMIA”

November 21, 2022 By admin Leave a Comment

“Watching Kelce be the short and intermediate keystone to everything Kansas City does in the passing game, watching Mahomes lean on him during a needy time, I thought, If he never plays another snap after this season, he’s a Hall of Famer.” – King on Chiefs TE Travis Kelce

“Henry is the Mahomes of the running game — I could make him a player of the week almost every week.” – King on Titans RB Derrick Henry

“The Walton/Penner group is not married to Hackett, and barring a late-season surge, I’d be surprised if Hackett makes it to year two.” – King on Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett

“Robert Saleh has to worry less about the feelings of Zach Wilson and more about winning games this year with this team, keeping in mind that benching Wilson isn’t a dumb idea.” – King on the possibility of benching Jets QB Zach Wilson

STAMFORD, Conn. – Nov. 21, 2022 – Peter King speaks with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Bills head coach Sean McDermott in this week’s edition of Football Morning in America, available now exclusively on NBCSports.com. King also recaps Week 11 of the NFL season, discusses the Cowboys’ win over the Vikings, Titans running back Derrick Henry’s performance this season, and more.

The following are highlights from this week’s edition of Football Morning in America:

CHIEFS

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce to Peter King on what made his game-winning touchdown against the Chargers work so flawlessly: “Patrick Mahomes. What the people don’t know is we had personnel issues on that series because of injuries we had during the game. Patrick’s the one with the keys to the car. He knows exactly where to go with the ball.”

Kelce to King on his battle with Chargers safety Derwin James: “He’s locked me up in my career. This year I was lucky we had a timeout before that final play, so I could get my wind. But he’s tough, really tough.”

Kelce to King on the Chiefs’ successful season: “We’re better this year because Patrick (Mahomes) and (Andy) Reid are a year older, a year more experienced together.”

King on Kelce: “Watching Kelce be the short and intermediate keystone to everything Kansas City does in the passing game, watching Mahomes lean on him during a needy time, I thought, If he never plays another snap after this season, he’s a Hall of Famer.”

BILLS’ BLIZZARD

Bills head coach Sean McDermott to King on local Buffalo citizens helping the Bills get to the airport after a blizzard: “Buffalo gets a bad rap because of the cold and the snow, but there’s an awful lot of warmth there.”

Dave Winter, the man who helped Bills QB Josh Allen get to the airport, to King on his encounter with Allen: “I said to my neighbor Norm, who was there, ‘You need a path blown through?’ He said, ‘I don’t know, ask that guy.’ Well, I don’t know that guy, an older gentleman, but he says he went to school with my cousin, and so I asked if he needs help here and he says, ‘Sure!’ So I did the driveway, cleared a good path there, and I get up to the garage and the door opens and Josh (Allen) is standing there. Probably the whole thing took a half hour. Got out, shook his hand. Told him, ‘Good luck tomorrow.’”

King on the Bills’ plan to leave Detroit and go back to Buffalo before returning for the Thanksgiving game: “The Bills decided to go home after the game instead of staying in comfier, snow-less Detroit. Seemed smart. They could sleep in their beds for three nights before returning at midday Wednesday. As much as we think, Just stay and practice in Michigan, so many of the players and coaches have families who need them. It was the right move to go back.”

WEEK 11

King on the success of the AFC and NFC East divisions this season: “The eight teams in the two eastern divisions are all over .500. A tad insane. Never have two divisions in the same year had all teams over .500 after 11 weeks…Looks like we’ll see a lot of Eastern Time Zone teams in the postseason this year.”

King on Bears QB Justin Fields’ historic rushing numbers: “The Bears have averaged 29.6 points in their last five games, and they are 1-5 in Fields’ amazing streak on the ground. It’s a great sign for the future of the Bears’ quarterback, but not such a great sign that the great run hasn’t translated into wins.”

King on Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett: “Denver’s owners did not sign off on the hiring of Hackett last winter, and didn’t even meet the man till the summer. They’ve watched the franchise with a $47-million-a-year quarterback start 3-7, and get swept by the lowly Raiders. The Walton/Penner group is not married to Hackett, and barring a late-season surge, I’d be surprised if Hackett makes it to year two.”

KING’S MVP WATCH – WEEK 11

1. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City, 2. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia, 3. Tua Tagovailoa, Miami, 4. Josh Allen, Buffalo, 5. Derrick Henry, Tennessee

King on Mahomes: “Mahomes distanced himself from a tight pack Sunday night with his 75-yard drive to beat the Chargers in the final minute at SoFi; a year after losing the explosive Tyreek Hill and working in five new wideouts on the fly, Mahomes is on pace to have the biggest year of his career in passing yards, both in total and per game.”

King on Derrick Henry: “Henry is carrying the Titans the way Earl Campbell once carried the Oilers.”

KING’S WEEK 11 AWARDS

Offensive Players of the Week: Tony Pollard, Dallas, Derek Carr & Davante Adams, Las Vegas, & Derrick Henry, Tennessee

King on Henry: “Henry is the Mahomes of the running game — I could make him a player of the week almost every week.”

King on Pollard’s performance in the Cowboys’ 40-3 win over the Vikings: “On a day Ezekiel Elliott came back from injury, Pollard proved his undeniable value running and receiving.”

Defensive Players of the Week: Maxx Crosby, Las Vegas, Micah Parsons, Dallas, Kyle Fuller, Washington, & Aidan Hutchinson, Detroit

King on Crosby: “What a dominating player Crosby is.”

King on Fuller’s performance against the Texans: “Fuller may have made the play that signals the end of the Davis Mills experiment in Houston. Just 44 seconds into the game at Houston, Fuller baited and waited for Mills to throw a pass to Brandin Cooks. When it was released, Fuller cut in front of Cooks, picked it, and pranced untouched down the left sideline for a 37-yard pick-six.”

Coach of the Week: Ron Rivera, Washington

King on Rivera: “Good to have a calming influence making the tough calls, and Rivera has been just that for Washington.”

Special Teams Players of the Week: Cordarrelle Patterson, Atlanta, Brett Maher, Dallas, Marcus Jones, New England, & Tyler Bass, Buffalo

King on Patterson: “An amazing 103-yard return for touchdown — made more amazing because it gives Patterson the NFL record, and by the fact that it’s the first kickoff returned for a touchdown in the league this season.”

Goat of the Week: Zach Wilson, New York Jets

King on Wilson’s performance against the Patriots: “Two games against the Patriots this year, two awful performances by the second-year QB from Brigham Young. In 26 second-half plays, the Jets generated two yards. You have to try to be that miserable. Really try.”

King on the possibility of benching Wilson: “Robert Saleh has to worry less about the feelings of Zach Wilson and more about winning games this year with this team, keeping in mind that benching Wilson isn’t a dumb idea.”

NEWS & NOTES

King on Packers QB Aaron Rodgers’ and the Green Bay offense’s lack of chemistry: “After watching Green Bay a lot this season, I’m more inclined to think differently about next spring. I think it would be fair in February to say to Rodgers (who will be 39 next month): This season showed how important chemistry with receivers is. We saw a lot of miscommunication this year. We’d like you to come in for some or all of the off-season work this year, so you can form stronger bonds with Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs and whoever else we bring in.”

King on the possibility of trading Rodgers: “I think it might not be altogether nonsensical to consider trading Rodgers to Las Vegas for Derek Carr and a third-round pick. Might being the most important word there. Miles to go before you reach a decision like that, but it has crossed my mind.”

King on WR Odell Beckham Jr.’s free agency: “I think it’s crazy that the fate of Odell Beckham Jr. could be decided by the performance of two teams in a Thanksgiving game. Giants at Cowboys…Knowing Beckham wants to only play for a contender who could make a playoff run, the Giants are going to need a Herculean effort to show that potential Thursday in Texas.”

“When you don’t have your best stuff and you find a way to win the ballgame, that’s what championship teams do.” – Jason Garrett on the Eagles

“The Patriots are discovering their winning formula with this year’s team. It starts with the pass rush, aggressiveness up front, typical Bill Belichick blitzes confusing people.” – Tony Dungy on the Patriots

“The Dallas D is back…and it started with the pass rush…(Micah Parsons) is the best pass rusher in football coming off the edge.” – Chris Simms on the Cowboys

“I believe he’s the most dominant defensive player in all of football.” –Rodney Harrison on Chiefs DT Chris Jones

Peacock Sunday Night Football Final Streams EXCLUSIVELY on Peacock Following Every Sunday Night Football Game During 2022 Season

STAMFORD, Conn. – Nov. 20, 2022 – NBC Sports’ presentation of Week 11 of the 2022 NFL season began tonight from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., with Football Night in America leading into coverage of Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs facing division rivals Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football on NBC, Peacock and Universo.

Maria Taylor hosted FNIA from NBC Sports’ Studio 1 in Stamford, Conn. She was joined by Hall of Fame head coach Tony Dungy, former NFL head coach Jason Garrett, former NFL quarterback Chris Simms, and fantasy sports industry pioneer Matthew Berry. Two-time Super Bowl winner Rodney Harrison joined co-host Jac Collinsworth at the site of the game. NFL Insider Mike Florio provided reports from his home studio.

Following are highlights from tonight’s edition of Football Night in America on NBC and Peacock:

ON CHIEFS

Jac Collinsworth on Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes: “He’s got that LeBron James factor. He’s so unique. You look for others that can challenge that greatness instead of just stepping back and appreciating it.”

Garrett on defenses blitzing against Mahomes: “It’s a risk, but you can’t just sit there. This guy will shred you if you just sit there, so the answer is you have to mix it up…Make him earn it, make him go the long way over and over again, rally and tackle. Every so often bring some heat.”

Simms: “I do think that Kansas City has gotten good enough where if you play soft (coverage) all game long he’ll take it underneath. So, every now and then (blitz), but you can’t overdue it or it’ll be six.”

Harrison on Chiefs rookie RB Isiah Pacheco: “The thing that I see with him is just the passion that he plays with. He’s trying to play so physical, he’s trying to run people over, he’s trying to run through you. Andy Reid gave Clyde Edwards-Helaire every opportunity to become the starter…this kid has taken advantage of every opportunity.”

Dungy on Pacheco: “When Andy Reid put him in the starting lineup, that signaled a change to me. You’re putting (in) the toughest guy, a strong runner…I think he’s got the whole Chiefs team excited.”

Harrison on Chiefs DT Chris Jones: “I believe he’s the most dominant defensive player in all of football. You can play him on the inside, you can play him on the outside, and when you need that one play, Chris Jones is going to make it.”

Harrison on rookie CB Trent McDuffie: “I think they knocked it out of the park with him, and he has this quiet confidence that he plays with. You watch him at the line of scrimmage, he’s patient and he’s athletic enough where he can run with these wide receivers…He’s going to be a really good player.”

ON CHARGERS

Garrett on the return of Chargers WRs Keenan Allen and Mike Williams from injury: “We have taught this next man up philosophy a lot through the years. A guy gets hurt, ‘Hey, put the next guy in there,’ but what you find out sometimes is the next guy’s not quite as good as the guy who’s playing…Hopefully they get that vertical passing game going again.”

Derwin James to Michael Smith on why he doesn’t trash talk opponents: “If I hit you and I talk trash to you, it’s going to motivate you, you’re going to get excited, you’re going to be ready to go, but if I hit you and go, ‘You alright?’ It’s going to mess with your head even more, right?”

Smith on his biggest takeaway from his conversation with James: “It’s what makes him such a great leader. As great a player as he is individually, he’s so consumed with raising everyone else’s level of play. (Chargers) General Manager Tom Telesco told me that he’s never been around a better practice player. Even though he always has a smile on his face…he’s always on the edge, the right side of the edge, and he knows how to push everyone in a positive direction.”

Harrison on James: “He’s the most versatile safety in the NFL.”

Garrett on James: “He’s one of the few players in the league who can physically match up with (Chiefs tight end Travis) Kelce.”

ON EAGLES

Garrett on the Eagles’ win vs. the Colts: “The best pitchers and the best teams find a way to win when they don’t have their best stuff…When you don’t have your best stuff and you find a way to win the ballgame, that’s what championship teams do…That mental toughness, those gritty wins in November, they serve you well down the stretch.”

Simms on the Eagles’ struggles the past two weeks: “Don’t panic. Philly’s still really good.”

Dungy on QB Jalen Hurts: “(He) is why they’re winning, because they’ve got a lot of weapons but he’s the special sauce.”

Harrison on the Eagles defense: “I was thoroughly impressed with what they did in the second half…Ndamukong Suh – just signed – had half a sack, Linval Joseph, and remember Jordan Davis will be back in a few weeks. It’s going to significantly help out this run (defense). I can’t wait to see it.”

Florio on DT Ndamukong Suh signing with the Eagles: “I asked him which teams he was considering and he said it came down to the Eagles and the 49ers. The talks with the Eagles began Monday and Tuesday, finished early Thursday, in uniform and contributing Sunday. He took a team-friendly deal and said his most important objective is to win. He said, ‘I’ve got twin boys. I’ve got one Super Bowl ring. I need a second one now.’ He thinks he’ll get one with the Eagles.”

ON PATRIOTS

Dungy on the Patriots’ game-winning punt return touchdown and the potential block in the back on the play: “This was really well set up by the Patriots. They didn’t go for the block, they went for the return. Lot of questions about this block right here at the end, we talked to the NFL office, and they said it was from the side not the back.”

Dungy on the Patriots’ defense: “The Patriots are discovering their winning formula with this year’s team. It starts with the pass rush, aggressiveness up front, typical Bill Belichick blitzes confusing people, and an aggressive secondary. This defense is playing well, special teams is playing well, very few mistakes on offense, that’s how they’re going to win.”

Taylor: “I’m going to be honest, the winning formula for the Patriots is just put the Jets on the field (laughs).”

ON COWBOYS

Simms on the Cowboys defense: “The Dallas D is back. They struggled last week against the Green Bay Packers, but they dominated the Minnesota Vikings offense today, and it started with the pass rush…They got the Vikings in some passing situations and when that happens, that allows you to put No. 11 (Micah Parsons) at defensive end and he’s the best pass rusher in football coming off the edge.”

Garrett on the Cowboys’ win vs. the Vikings: “Minnesota, best record in football. Dallas went up there and they bludgeoned them…Dak (Prescott) was fantastic. Huge win for the Cowboys.”

Dungy on Ezekiel Elliott’s two one-yard rushing touchdowns: “This part was missing when Zeke was out, that bang, pound ‘em in.”

Garrett on Elliott and Tony Pollard: “A great one-two combination. Zeke is physical, dirty work. Pollard out in space making plays.”

ON BILLS

Simms: “Holy cow, we saw a run game in Buffalo today! … We saw James Cook, Devin Singletary, and not everything being thrown on Josh Allen’s shoulders to carry the squad. This could be something to watch for: this Buffalo Bills team to close some games out in the fourth quarter.”

Florio speaking with Bills LT Dion Dawkins about the team’s week dealing with the snow in Buffalo: “Dion Dawkins told me that in the region, the snow amounts were so different that at his house he said if there had been that much snow at the airport, they never would have gotten to Detroit. And for him, he had to hike through three blocks of six feet of snow just to get to the point where he could get in the car that then took nearly an hour to get to the team facility. He said now that it’s all over, what he’s going to do is he’s going to go back to his phone, he’s going to print off all the text messages with his teammates and save them to read in the future because it was just chaos. Nobody knew anything and they really did go for a period of time thinking they weren’t going to make it to Detroit.”

ON BENGALS

Simms on QB Joe Burrow’s performance in the win against the Steelers: “One thing that I think jumped out to us is Burrow was patient. He took the backs on some underneath routes which I think then forced the Steelers into some of these one-on-one situations. Burrow, like (Patrick) Mahomes, he’s such an aggressive decision-maker. He’s always looking for the big play down the field.”

ON COMMANDERS

Simms on the Commanders’ defense: “They’re dominant. They’re awesome in the pass game, they’re awesome in the run game, they control the line of scrimmage. It starts with the Alabama [duo] in the middle, Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne.”

Garrett on coaching against the Washington defensive front: “Every year they drafted these guys in the first round. Allen, Payne, (Montez) Sweat, Chase Young is coming. Every year! I’m like what are they doing? Hard to block and they’re playing awfully well.”

Garrett on the Commanders win vs. the Texans: “Washington played inspired ball all day…Love the complimentary football they’re playing. (Offensive coordinator) Scott Turner is doing a great job running that football. They’re playing the game together and Taylor Heinicke is getting it done.”

ON RAMS

Florio on Rams QB Matthew Stafford: “He exited in the third quarter for a concussion evaluation but there’s been no clarity as to whether or not he’s back in the protocol. Per the team, he will undergo tests tomorrow; he is not in the protocol as of now. That’s gotten the attention of the NFL Players’ Association. They’re monitoring the situation because in most cases, we know fairly quickly whether or not a guy is in protocol.”

ON BEARS

Florio on Bears QB Justin Fields’ injuries: “We saw Justin Fields grabbing at his shoulder. He had an X-ray after the game, he’ll have further tests on that injured shoulder. He also had cramping in his hamstring.”

ON SAINTS

Simms on QB Andy Dalton: “One of his best games of the year, and hey, we questioned whether he would be the starting quarterback this week.”

ON LIONS

Simms on rookie DE Aidan Hutchinson’s interception: “What an interception. I mean, for a defensive end to go up, pluck this out of the air like T.J. Watt, J.J. Watt? Pretty special.”
