Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

The “easiest job In America” -- Ezekiel Elliott is looking forward to running behind one of the best offensive lines in the NFL.

CLOWNEY VS. THE PRESS: Houston Texans step in after reporter attacks Jadeveon Clowney. The No. 1 pick from 2014 may be under scrutiny, but that doesn’t mean you can take a cheap shot at the man and expect his team to lie down and take it.

LUXURY STADIUM: The Falcons are teaming with Daktronics, IBM to build a massive video board. And it’s not just one big ol’ video screen, it’s literally thousands.

ROOKIE HEAD COACHES: For Adam Gase and the NFL’s other new head coaches, success starts with changing attitudes. The Dolphins want their new head coach to fix the offense, but for that to happen, he’s got to change the way the team views itself.
