1. King Henry’s quest
Table of Contents
The Ravens ball carrier, Derrick Henry, continues to forge his place in history among the big ones. The king currently claims 106 affected on the ground in a career. If he adds one face to the bills, he will prevail the immortal Jim Brown in the sixth row in history. He also dangerously approaches fifth in the legendary Walter Payton (110 affected on the ground). The first four in the charts are Emmitt Smith (164), Ladainian Tomlinson (145), Marcus Allen (123) and Adrian Peterson (120).
2. The duel of “MVP”

A rather rare scenario is emerging for the duel raised on Sunday evening between Bills and Ravens. Indeed, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are the last two to have been elected the most useful player, respectively in 2024 and 2023. It will only be the fifth time that the two most recent players par excellence compete in week 1. It was the case last year in the shock between Chiefs and Ravens with Patrick MAHOMES (2022) and Lamar Jackson (2023). Otherwise, you have to go back to 2000 during a Rams-Broncos confrontation (Kurt Warner and Terrell Davis), in 1998 (Brett Favre and Barry Sanders) or in 1980 (Terry Bradshaw and Earl Campbell).
3. From zeros to heroes

If your team was rolled out in the lowlands of the League last season, do not despair! In 21 of the last 23 seasons, at least one team that has selected in the Top 5 in the draft has ended up qualifying in qualifiers the following season. It even happened in the last six seasons. Last year, the surprise had come from the commanders, who had selected a few months earlier the quarter Jayden Daniels in the second row. The charges had bet on blocker Joe Alt in fifth row and also obtained their ticket for the playoffs.
4. Lions in Green Bay

Everything seems to be playing in favor of Lions recently when they face packers. The two division rivals come to the grip and the Lions will try to sign a fourth gain immediately to Green Bay. Since the merger of the NFL in 1966, rare visiting teams have won at least four follow -up games at the Field Lambeau, the Vikings with six, between 1971 and 1977, the Bears with five, between 1984 and 1988, the Lions with four, between 1986 and 1991 and the Bears with four, between 2004 and 2007. Since Dan Campbell started to run the Lions in 2021 6-2 facing packers.
5. Beginnings on Monday evening

The quarter-Arrière JJ McCarthy, choice of first round of the Vikings in 2024, will be at its first departure in the NFL on Monday evening, against the Bears. He only becomes the fourth in his position to make his debut under the spotlights of Monday Night Football Since 2000. The other three before him, Sam Darnold (with the Jets in 2018), Aaron Rodgers (with the Packers in 2008) and Philip Rivers (with the Chargers in 2006) have all won this first departure. That was the good news. The bad news, however, is that in the last six seasons, the recruited quarters show a cumulative file of 1-9-1 in opening matches.
Here’s a breakdown of the provided HTML, focusing on the image elements and their attributes:
Image Element 1
target="blank": Opens the link in a new tab/window.
class="fancybox": Seems to be related to the fancybox library, responsible for the lightbox effect.
rel="group": Groups the image for fancybox,so it knows which images to show to the user in the gallery.
href="https://m1.quebecormedia.com/emp/emp/55c3ede0-8078-11f0-b723-5b60fdb7e89eORIGINAL.jpg?impolicy=crop-resize&x=0&y=0&w=1200&h=1800&width=1500": The URL for the image when the link is clicked.
tag: Likely used to display a zoom icon.
srcset: Defines a set of image sources with different widths for responsive images.
https://m1.quebecormedia.com/emp/emp/55c3ede0-8078-11f0-b723-5b60fdb7e89eORIGINAL.jpg?impolicy=crop-resize&x=0&y=0&w=1200&h=1800&width=1500 1500w: the URL for the 1500px wide version of the image.
src="https://m1.quebecormedia.com/emp/emp/55c3ede0-8078-11f0-b723-5b60fdb7e89eORIGINAL.jpg?impolicy=crop-resize&x=0&y=0&w=1200&h=1800&width=400": The URL for the image to display by default (a 400px wide version).This is the fallback if the browser doesn’t support srcset or can’t find an appropriate size from srcset due to screen size/resolution.
class="story-img": CSS class for styling the image.
alt="": Alternative text for the image.This is very important for accessibility (screen readers) and SEO. An empty alt attribute is not ideal; consider adding a relevant description of the image.
Image Element 2
Image Optimization: The image URLs include ?impolicy=crop-resize, suggesting that the images are being dynamically resized. Ensure that the server is configured to optimize these images (e.g., compress them) to further improve performance.
Fancybox/Lightbox: the fancybox class and associated JavaScript library are used to display images in a larger format. This is a common and useful feature.
no follow: The use of rel="nofollow" is useful if the article is sponsored. Search engines will not crawl the link, which helps with preserving the site’s SEO.
the HTML is well-structured, employing best practices for responsive images and a common image display technique (lightbox).The key area for improvement is the alt attributes.
