PJ Jules and Branson Combs exchanged jerseys after Sunday's Jaguars-Bengals game in Cincinnati.

Jules, a safety for the Bengals, recorded four tackles. Combs, a linebacker for the Jaguars, recorded three tackles.

Both were members of the om 2019 through 2023. Awesome to see them on the field together!

Some tough news to share: After 8 years of covering the FCS as a full-time job for HERO Sports, my position was eliminated this morning by the company that owns HERO.

Whenever asked about what my dream job is, I’ve always said I’m doing it. Covering the FCS and being able to support my family doing so was the dream gig. So that’s why I’m hoping the support of my work continues as I try the independent route. I fully understand some do not like paying for something they are used to getting for free. But I’ll work even harder to make it worth your money if you give it a shot.

On Patreon for $8/month, you'll get access to a Monday-Friday daily podcast called FCS Daily Dose, some video segments, and daily articles talking FCS storylines nationwide, reporting, analysis, columns, predictions, reactions, and more.

Thank you for the support to this point. And thank you in advance for any continued support!
