Latest blog entries from Los Angeles teams across every league
When rookie left tackle Ozzy Trapilo hobbled off the field on Saturday night to save the Chicago Bears a timeout, he was in visible pain, and we feared the worst. In his postgame press conference, head coach Ben Johnson confirmed Ozzy had injured his patellar tendon and was likely out for the remainder of the […]
It’s no secret that the Los Angeles Rams defense is built around their pass rush. The overall ethos of the defense has been for the pass rush to affect the quarterback and therefore help the lack of talent outside at cornerback. To say that there have been some frustrations with the overall pressure consistency would […]
I don’t know about all of you, but I’m having a tough time observing the 24-hour rule this weekend after Saturday night’s win. Yesterday, I spent most of the day consuming Bears-Packers content. Today, I woke up still on a high from the win. Luckily, I’m sure Ben Johnson has fully turned the page for him and his team as they prepare to host the Los Angeles Rams at Soldier Field on Sunday. Let’s try to do the same, shall we? It’s time to react one final time (well, for now at least) to the...
Just like last year’s playoff performance, Justin Herbert will now have yet another outing he would like to forget. The Chargers earned a passing team grade of 27.5 against the Patriots, the worst mark of the season and somehow worse than Trey Lance’s performance against the Broncos surrounded by backups. But along with Herbert, it […]
Not that I expected it would stop him from playing, but Matthew Stafford’s finger injury still feels like a notable deal. The Los Angeles Rams quarterback suffered the injury in the team’s wild-card victory against the Carolina Panthers. Rams Head Coach Sean McVay told reporters that Stafford would be good to go for Sunday’s upcoming playoff game at Soldier Field despite the injury, which isn’t unexpected. But still … the injury (a sprained index finger on Stafford’s throwing hand) figure...
According to recent reports, the Dodgers are among the teams interested in acquiring Freddy Peralta. It wasn’t that long ago when Peralta was one of the biggest obstacles in trying to prevent the Dodgers from reaching the Fall Classic as the ace of a Brewers team that faced off with Los Angeles in the NLCS. […]
Happy Playoff Victory Monday, everyone! It’s been a while since we got one of these; I imagine you’re all as sore as I am. The last time the Patriots played an LA-based team in a low-scoring, defensive battle that broke open when a QB not playing his best football found his rhythm at the right […]
The Los Angeles Rams will be without one of their starting cornerbacks for the remainder of the postseason. After re-injuring his shoulder in the first quarter in the Wild Card game against the Carolina Panthers, the Rams have placed Ahkello Witherspoon back on injured reserve. Witherspoon attempted to come back into the game in the […]
A 4-3 shootout defeat to the Los Angeles Kings stings, but the Vasily Podkolzin–Leon Draisaitl–Kasperi Kapanen line was a silver lining for the Edmonton Oilers, keeping their hot streak alive by combining for two goals in the game. Kapanen returned to the lineup three games ago, joining Podkolzin and Draisaitl on the second line, and…
Ahead of this year’s training camp, New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel explained that he was looking at his team’s performances in three distinct categories. There is the good, the bad, and, as he called it, the s—t that gets you beat. The Patriots 16-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Sunday’s wild […]
Special teams nearly cost the Los Angeles Rams against the Panthers in the Wild Card Round. Matthew Stafford ensured that wouldn’t happen, but if special teams didn’t cost them this weekend, it will eventually. The unit has been the Rams’ biggest weakness all season long. It was so bad that Sean McVay made an in-season […]
For Robert Spillane, one of the biggest moments in the New England Patriots’ wild card playoff win over the Los Angeles Chargers came midway through the first quarter. Backed up after a Drake Maye interception, the team’s defense successfully kept the Chargers offense out of the end zone on back-to-back plays. On third down from […]

Good morning, Chargers fans! I truly don’t have the words after last night’s loss to the Patriots. An elite performance by the defense was completely overshadowed by a worst-case scenario for Justin Herbert and the offense. I’ve spent so much time on social media since the game end that I simply feel that anything else […]

The Los Angeles Rams will take on the Chicago Bears in the next round of the playoffs, and at this point, no matter who you play you’re going to play a tough opponent, but the Bears in Chicago? Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams with a defense that can force turnovers? We have all week to […]
Meet the Mets Along with the Dodgers and the Blue Jays, the Mets have met with free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker either in person or via Zoom. It’s going to be a hard task for Juan Soto to improve his outfield defense, but would you really put it past him to figure out how to […]
At least two Dodgers minor league affiliate levels will have the same manager in 2026 as in 2025. Just as Eric Wedge was announced last week to return to helm Double-A Tulsa, John Shoemaker will return to manage the Dodgers Class-A team in 2026. Only this year, that Dodgers’ affiliate is now the Ontario Tower […]
How is it that the 8-9 2025 Carolina Panthers landed squarely in the middle of everybody’s preseason win predictions, skipped leaving anybody confident in their evaluation of the team’s future, yet also finished the season with a strong and wildly optimistic playoff loss against a legitimate Super Bowl contender in the Los Angeles Rams? Carowinds […]
The New England Patriots won a defensive battle on Sunday night against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers. Fans may not have been treated to offensive fireworks, but the game still ended up being the largest margin of victory of the NFL’s wild card weekend so far. Let’s get into our lessons learned from the Patriots’ first postseason […]
For much of the regular season, Drake Maye carried the New England Patriots to victory. In the wild card playoff round against the Los Angeles Chargers, however, others had to do the heavy lifting. Celebrating a 16-3 victory at Gillette Stadium on Sunday night, the defense was the star of the show. Maye’s performance, meanwhile, […]
The New England Patriots moved on to the divisional round on Sunday night. Taking down the Los Angeles Chargers at Gillette Stadium, the team won its playoff opener with a final score of 16-3. Here is who caught our eye for better or worse upon live-viewing the Patriots’ wild card victory. Winners DT Milton Williams […]
The New England Patriots put the clamps on the Los Angeles Chargers in the wild card round of the playoffs, surrendering only a field goal in a 16-3 victory on Sunday night. The defensive performance paved the way for that win, and it was one earned through relentless pressure and deception. That combination, conducted from […]
After two very forgettable playoff appearances since quarterback Justin Herbert entered the NFL, the Chargers somehow managed to add to that lackluster postseason resume with another offensive disappearing act on the road in the wild card round. In what may have been one of, if not the worst offensive outing all season long, the Chargers […]
Head coach Mike Vrabel was on the visitors’ sideline the last time the New England Patriots hosted a playoff game. He wasn’t on Sunday night as the AFC East champions outlasted the Los Angeles Chargers for a 16-3 win. Here’s a glance back on the wild card at Gillette Stadium, six years removed from the […]
