Brissett Completes First 16 To Help Colts Win First Home Opener Since '13
Quarterback Jacoby Bris- sett completed his first 16 passes in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons.
Jacoby Brissett did something that not even An- drew Luck did during his seven seasons with the Indi- anapolis Colts. He opened the game a perfect 16-of-16.
Even without All-Pro line- backer Darius Leonard and Pro Bowl receiver T.Y. Hilton missing the second half, the Colts found a way to win their first home opener since 2013, 27-24, over the At- lanta Falcons on Sunday.
Brissett's 16-straight completions to start the game tied Peyton Manning for the fifth most in franchise history. Brissett’s 310 yards passing should end the thought of him not being able to be an effec- tive downfield passer.

Deshaun Watson Again
To Pull Out Another Win
As he has in all three games this season, quarter- back Deshaun Watson again came up big when the Houston Texans needed him to.
Houston is now 2-1 after a 27-20 victory against the Los Angeles Chargers. After a slow first half for the offense, Wat- son threw touchdowns on three consecutive possessions, twice taking the Texans more than 70 yards downfield.
Against the Chargers, Watson completed 25 of 34 passes for 351 yards and three touchdowns. He did not throw

an interception. Watson spread the ball around, with completions to six different players, including touchdown passes to tight ends Darren Fells and Jordan Akins.
AB Says He's Done With NFL; Calls Out Kraft, Ben
Antonio Brown says he won't play in the NFL any- more and took shots at New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in a series of tweets sent Sunday morning.
Brown appeared to be referencing the $29.125 mil- lion in guaranteed money from the Oakland Raiders and $9 million signing bonus from the Patriots that, sources told ESPN, have both been re- scinded.
The Raiders' guaranteed money was voided after the team fined him for detrimen- tal conduct before his release on Sept. 7, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Patriots are planning to with- hold the signing bonus based on a representation warranty clause that calls for a player to disclose any situations that might prevent continued availability, a source with knowledge of the situation told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Brown is being sued by former trainer Britney Tay- lor over multiple allegations of sexual assault. He was also accused of sexual misconduct by an artist in a story pub- lished by Sports Illustrated last week.
ANTONIO BROWN
When Brown sent those text messages as a member of the Patriots -- he was not with New England during the time period when he allegedly sex- ually assaulted another woman -- the organization felt asifithadtomoveonfrom him. Had Brown not sent in- timidating group text mes- sages to the artist who accused him of unwanted sexual ad- vances, the star wide receiver would be playing in the Patri- ots' game Sunday against the Jets, league sources told Schefter.
Brown called on the NFL Players Association to hold teams accountable and get him the money he apparently is still seeking.
ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that Brown will file a grievance against the Patriots and the NFLPA will represent him in it.
