A Generational Shift at N.F.L. Quarterback

The evolution at the N.F.L.’s most important position has been clear even with familiar names frequently making deep playoff runs. Today’s emerging stars are taking on more of their team’s offensive load.

Without Drew Brees, the Saints Rely on an All-Purpose Back. No, Not Taysom Hill.

Alvin Kamara has lined up for New Orleans at running back, receiver, kick returner and occasionally as a wildcat quarterback to make the most of his diverse talents.

Brady, Brees and Roethlisberger Just Won’t Go Quietly. Luckily for the N.F.L.

Those quarterbacks, as well as Philip Rivers, are showing signs of wear and tear but still thriving in the twilight of their careers. They have the Steelers, Saints, Buccaneers and Colts on course to make the playoffs.

The president tweeted to say it was disrespectful to kneel during the national anthem, as Colin Kaepernick and other players began doing in 2016 to protest racial injustice. N.F.L. Commissioner Roger Goodell then said the league supported players peacefully protesting.
