The old saying of adding insult to injury doesn’t apply to the Cleveland Browns loss to the New England Patriots in Week 8 because it was a game that insulted fans from the second quarter on, AND was loaded with injuries. The Browns say they don’t plan to move on from QB Dillon Gabriel, but […]
The Atlanta Falcons have lost two games in a row and are now below .500 at 3-4. It was a pathetic performance for the home team fans, and many are wondering how the team will respond. Here are the Week 8 snap reactions. JD Bertrand is not a starter or substitution-quality linebacker Earlier this week, […]
The Buffalo Bills mauled the Carolina Panthers in Week 8, sparked by a dominating rushing attack led by running back James Cook and an assignment-sound offensive line. It’s clear that head coach Sean McDermott put in a ton of work during the bye week. Buffalo once again exits the bye with a win, the ninth-consecutive […]
Placing the blame on one player or coach after the Cleveland Browns were controlled by the New England Patriots in Week 8 would be unfair. The failure was overwhelming, to be honest, outside of DE Myles Garrett. As is true with good teams and bad teams, the quarterback position will always get a load of […]
As you likely know by now, there is tragic news today in the Jets fanbase. Nick Mangold passed away at the age of 41 from complications due to kidney disease.

The Philadelphia Eagles are 6-2 after beating the New York Giants at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday. Final score: 38 to 20.

The Indianapolis Colts are at home to take on the Tennessee Titans in week 8 of the 2025 season, kickoff is at 4:25 p.m. EST. Last week our Colts dominated a good LA Chargers team. The game was never as close as the 38-24 final score would indicate. That said, the game was not without it’s concerns. […]
The Eagles’ run game was back on full display Sunday against the Giants, and Saquon Barkley started the game hot with a 65-yard TD run. Unfortunately, his contributions ended after a 28-yard explosive play resulted in the RB pulling up and looking a little gimpy on his way to the medical tent. He was sidelined […]
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Indianapolis Colts backup quarterback Anthony Richardson underwent surgery to repair his orbital bone fracture on Monday—but could still return this season: The former 4th overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft has suffered a myriad on injuries since entering the league with Indianapolis (including 13 games in his rookie […]

In the New York Jets’ eighth game of the 2025 season, on a cool, partly cloudy autumn afternoon in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Jets beat the Cincinnati Bengals, 39 – 38 in a wild back and forth contest. The first half saw the Jets offense show some life, but the Jets defense fail miserably on the […]

Saturday afternoon in Oxford, OH set up a matchup between the MAC’s best. Miami (OH) and Western Michigan saw similar season trajectories, both overcoming 0-3 starts with four-game win streaks, entering a critical showdown sporting identical 3-0 MAC records. Only one would remain perfect though, and as recent history would suggest, that team would be […]
The Cleveland Browns are heading into their bye week, so now would be an ideal time to make the move at quarterback from Dillon Gabriel to Shedeur Sanders. This would give Sanders the bye week to prepare and get ready to face off against the New York Jets. Should the Browns choose to make this […]
Growing pains. Growing pains. Growing pains. That’s what I have to keep telling myself after Bears games like this. Having said that, this one sucked. Lack of execution in all three phases. Poorly timed mistakes. Brutal special teams effort. It felt like a game like this was overdue after a few tight wins against bad teams. Baltimore’s record is bad, but they’re a good team, even without Lamar Jackson. They made the Bears pay for their sloppiness today. Bears Instant Grades Offe...

Back home at Gillette Stadium, it was a tale of two half the New England Patriots against the Cleveland Browns. Behind three first-half sacks by Myles Garrett and another slow defensive start, New England took just a 9-7 lead into the locker room. But, Drake Maye and Co. took over in the second half as […]
The Cleveland Browns had a nice start to the game offensively, but it was all downhill from there. And while the defense held strong for a half, things unraveled in the third quarter for a variety of reasons. Before you knew it, a close game was a 30-7 rout heading into the final quarter of […]
