Charcoal smoke and a newfound-energy among Commanders fans punctuated the air in the parking lots outside FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland Sunday afternoon.“I’m feeling great,” longtime Washington football fan Steve Marsh said while deep-frying chicken. “I feel good. I haven’t felt this way in 15, 20 years.”The fans gathered underneath each tailgate tent seemed to be having the same conversation.“It’s a new beginning, right?” Christian Goodwin asked rhetorically. “New ownership, it’s been 26 years of you-know-what, but it’s a new day.”For some, like Michael Pope, the Commander’s victorious home opener against the Arizona Cardinals at FedEx Field was a sort of reunion.“I took a hiatus over the last two years because of Dan Snyder,” Pope said with tickets in hand. “It’s nice to be focused on the performance on the field and not have to worry about our ownership doing anything.&...

FOXBORO — There’s no such thing as a moral victory in the NFL, or at least there’s no column for it in the standings, but wide receiver Kendrick Bourne was encouraged by the Patriots’ performance after their 25-20 loss to the Eagles in Week 1.Facing a 16-0 deficit early in the game, the Patriots did bounce back against the reigning NFC champions even if ultimately it was not enough in the end.“We definitely feel like we can play with any team,” Bourne said. “Just keep improving every day, not feeling like we arrived.
