8/10/25 | Easton Stick Shines in Falcons Preseason Opener, Makes Case for Bigger Role. The scoreboard may have favored Detroit in the Falcons' preseason opener, but the real win for Atlanta might have come under center, where Easton Stick made a strong case for a bigger role. The Falcons opted to sit all of their offensive starters in their first preseason matchup, allowing several reserves to make their case for roster spots. Easton Stick appeared to make the most of his opportunity. Stick was sharp, finishing 15-of-18 (83.3%) for 149 yards and a touchdown in the first half.

8/10/25 | TWENTYMAN: Preseason Week 1 observations. Edge rush: It was good to see the Lions generate some pressure from the edge early in the contest. Veteran edge rusher Al-Quadin Muhammad was right in the middle of it. He nearly got a sack on the second play of the game and then got to Falcons quarterback Easton Stick two plays later. He finished with two tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss and a quarterback hit. Muhammad played 255 snaps on defense for Detroit last season with 3.0 sacks and four tackles for loss. Edge rusher Nate Lynn also had a sack vs. Atlanta. He's had a nice camp so far and leads the Lions with seven pressures in two preseason games.

8/08/25 | Atlanta Falcons Backup QBs Get Chance to Shine vs. Detroit Lions. Preseason football may not have the juice of a regular-season game, but for players like Easton Stick and Emory Jones, it's an audition. The third and fourth quarterbacks are set to take the ball for the Atlanta Falcons on Friday at 7 p.m. against the Lions for the first preseason game of 2025. Exhibition games can be a tricky situation for any player, but especially for reserve quarterbacks like Stick or Jones. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/falcons/news/atlanta-falcon... |
8/07/25 | Raiders might catch huge break in Week 2 after brutal Chargers update. The Las Vegas Raiders have largely struggled while facing off against the Los Angeles Chargers in recent years. Outside of a 63-21 victory on Thursday Night Football in 2023 against backup quarterback Easton Stick, the team is 2-5 against the Chargers in the last four seasons. With a Monday Night Football matchup looming in Week 2 of this season, the game will be an early test of just how much the Raiders improved. Los Angeles made several strong moves this offseason as well, and they locked down players like star left tackle Rashawn Slater with an extension.

9/19/24 | Sean Payton’s stumbling Broncos would be innovative ... if it was still 2013. The head coach was supposed to bring a wave of fresh thinking to Denver. But he is losing games and confusing his young quarterback It was only last season that Sean Payton rocked up in Denver and set a blowtorch to everything that came before, labelling Nathaniel Hackett’s spell in charge of the Broncos one of “the worst coaching jobs” in NFL history. It would be nice to know where he thinks his first two games of this season stack up in the rankings. The Broncos have started the season 0-2. Push the timeline back further and Denver have only won two of their last eight games, with both wins coming over a team quarterbacked by Easton Stick. Through two weeks this season, the Broncos’ offense has laid an egg in four out of eight quarters. Payton, once at the vanguard of offensive football, looks someone out of ideas – or at least out of time. His offense is stuck in 2013, and is led by a rookie quarterback, Bo Nix, who looks in over his head. The advanced metrics this season put Denver’s offense ahead of only the awful Carolina Panthers, a team who benched their quarterback this week, in part, because they are worried he has trouble seeing over the line of scrimmage.

9/01/24 | Los Angeles Chargers' decision to keep Easton Stick on roster continues to raise questions. Easton Stick has been given a long leash by the Los Angeles Chargers, for reasons no one can seem to figure out. The talk of the team's backup quarterback position took over preseason headlines when it was revealed that starting quarterback Justin Herbert had suffered a plantar fascia injury. As long as Herbert has been the team's QB, the backup position hasn't been a concern because, for the most part, it has literally been for a player to carry a clipboard. Easton Stick has seen an uptick in playing time since then and he has fallen quite flat. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/los-angeles-ch... |

8/18/24 | Why preseason struggles should serve as wake-up call for Chargers' Jim Harbaugh. Every NFL team is one quarterback injury away from a dramatic change to the trajectory of its season. The Los Angeles Chargers are not one of those teams. Inept quarterback play has rendered the Chargers touchdown-less in two preseason games to start the Jim Harbaugh era. "We not gonna lighten up, we're gonna tighten up," Harbaugh said after a bad performance from backup quarterback Easton Stick during the Chargers' 13-9 exhibition loss to the crosstown rival Los Angeles Rams.

8/12/24 | Jim Harbaugh sees 'a lot of work to be done' as Chargers struggle in preseason opener. With backup Easton Stick commanding the offense, the Chargers' starters struggled to move the ball during their 16-3 loss to Seattle Saturday night at SoFi Stadium, reminding fans how much the team needs Herbert. The chemistry the team worked to build in Herbert's absence was noticeably lacking from the first series, especially with other key offensive players Joshua Palmer, Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins held out. The Chargers struggled mightily during their first six possessions with Stick at quarterback, resulting in five three-and-outs and one interception.

Quarterback Easton Stick struggled to move the ball against the Rams' defense, misfiring on throws to his wide receivers. Max Duggan and Casey Bauman didn't fare a whole lot better. A drop in execution and efficiency was to be expected when starter Justin Herbert was sidelined Thursday by a plantar fascia injury. Source: https://www.dailynews.com/2024/08/06/chargers-offe... |
8/04/24 | Atlanta Falcons have perfect trade target to fix Los Angeles Chargers' latest issue. The Los Angeles Chargers will work through the remainder of training camp as though it is business as usual. Jim Harbaugh does not seem like the kind of guy who wants to bank on a hope and he certainly didn't leave one of the best programs in college football to watch Easton Stick taking any more snaps than he needs to. No disrespect to Stick, but there are better options out there for this team and the Chargers need to explore those. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/los-angeles-ch... |
