Christian Watson isn’t a particularly difficult player to understand. He’s big, he’s fast, and he actually has become a reliable catcher of the football after some rookie scuffles in that department. Metric after metric shows how important he has been, for years, in helping the Green Bay Packers beat man coverage. When he went out […]
The rest of the NFC West was on bye, and no one had to lift a finger to put the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams into first place. All the 49ers had to do was lose to the Houston Texans 26-15. I know some will comment how the Seahawks manhandled the Texans last week, […]
“It’s a passing league.” That’s been one of the mantras of NFL analysts for years. Since the explosion of offenses in the 2000s, like the Greatest Show on Turf or the proliferation of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, the passing game has taken over the league. But even at the core of those beliefs remained […]

On October 24th in 2009, Philadelphia Flyers captain Mike Richards blindsided winger David Booth with a vicious hit to the head rendering the Florida Panthers forward bloodied and unconscious. Booth left on a stretcher and missed the next 45 games owing to a concussion incurred on the play. Richards received a five minute major and ten minute game misconduct but was not subsequently fined or
Back-to-back clunker games for Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams don’t have me wanting to pull the plug on this experience, but they are a cause for concern. CHICAGO BEARS WEEK 8: Game Recap | Instant Grades | The Nightcap To be clear, I’m not sounding alarms just yet. However, I am noticing some patterns that, if they continue throughout the duration of this season, will have me raising questions about the long-term future of the position. My b...
The Los Angeles Chargers are eyeing another win as they travel to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans in Week 9. The Titans are projected to be one of the worst teams in the league at the end of the season after starting the year 1-7. Their only win came in Week 5 against […]
The Cleveland Browns have signed former Memphis and Ole Miss star TE Caden Prieskorn to the practice squad and released UDFA RB Ahmani Marshall in a corresponding move. Prieskorn, a 6’6”, 250-pound tight end from Ole Miss, has spent time with the Denver Broncos and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2025 after being signed as a […]
I hope everyone got outside and did something fun this weekend. For some reason I’ll never know or understand, we’ve all seen the sun out past 4:30 p.m. ET for the last time this year. The extra hour of sleep and the extra hour of staying out at the bars used to be nice – […]
7-1. Colts win their fourth game in a row, all convincingly, this time by 24 points against division rivals Tennessee Titans. There were some ghosts surrounding this team and games that they should be winning easily on paper, so it was nice leaving them behind and demolishing the Titans always feels good. Now we enter […]
For a long time this summer, it did not appear as if Dallas Goedert would be wearing Eagles green in 2025. As the calendar flipped April last spring, Goedert was at the center of virtually every trade rumor involving the Eagles, and it seemed for all the world as if he would be traded away […]
On Monday night, the Kansas City Chiefs face the Washingtgon Commanders . We welcome Andre York of Hogs Haven — our sister SB Nation site covering the Commanders— for Five Questions with the Enemy. 1. At 3-4, the Commanders are within striking distance of the NFC East lead. How good is their chance to win the division? If I […]
According to a report from NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Detroit Lions linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez is expected to return to practice this week in the lead up to the team’s Week 9 game against the Minnesota Vikings. Rodriguez is currently on the Physically Unable to Perform list after suffering a torn ACL in last year’s Thanksgiving […]
The 49ers did not play good football on either side of the ball in their Week 8 loss to the Houston Texans, with failings on both sides extremely apparent during the 26-15 defeat. Given the level of injury adversity the 49ers are dealing with, it was no surprise to see a game like this finally […]
The Minnesota Vikings’ run defense has been a sore spot this season. The Defensive Interior, for the most part, has not performed up to expectations. Kwesi Adofo-Mensah invested heavily in a few high-priced, but oft injured, defensive linemen this past offseason. Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave have not lived up to their contracts. PFF has […]
The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to sign wide receiver Tyler Lockett, according to NFL media’s Tom Pelissero. The Raiders have been looking to add a veteran wide receiver since the offseason, leading many to speculate that Lockett might land in Las Vegas during free agency this past spring. He spent 10 years with the […]
Life is too short to be looking at mock drafts in October, but that is the life we have chosen as Tennessee Titans fans. Last year, we had the debate about whether or not we should cheer for losses to help the draft position. The sad thing about this year is that there really isn’t […]
Sloppy play continued to spoil the Chicago Bears’ efforts this week, this time too much to overcome. Let’s get to my notes. Offense: Defense: Special Teams: What about you? What were some of your top takeaways from the loss in Baltimore?
The Steelers haven’t had a lot to celebrate over the last two weeks, dropping two games in a row to the Cincinnati Bengals and Green Bay Packers, respectively. The latest loss was largely a copy and paste of the defensive woes from Week 7. There was a small number of quality performances that should be […]
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links … Roob’s Observations after Eagles avenge loss to Giants with unstoppable offense – NBCSPIt’s been an up-and-down first couple months for Kevin Patullo – mainly down – but he was fantastic Sunday. We saw variety in run calls, we saw a nice mix of run and […]
If you are still trying to piece together how that Week 8 Chicago Bears loss happened, just know that you are not alone. All Caleb Williams had to do was outperform Tyler Huntley and the Bears would’ve had a real shot at winning this game. And in the first quarter, he did. But then, the rest of the game happened. It should not sit well with anyone at Halas Hall that the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft was outplayed by a journeyman backup. Granted, Huntley is one of the league’s...
I sincerely hope that you are spending the entirety of your day thinking of new and exciting ways to hate the Florida Gators. You could certainly do so on a boat, with a goat, in a house, with a mouse, in a box, with a fox, on your belly, or with Brian Kelly. Actually that […]
The bye week is over for the Las Vegas Raiders and they are back at him to face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1:05 p.m. PT. Let’s take a quick look at the Jaguars: Record: The Jaguars are 4-3 and are also coming off their bye week after […]
The New Orleans Saints opened their divisional account when they hosted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Here’s a quick look at all that went down. First Quarter Spencer Rattler got the Saints up and running on the game’s first drive with a pair of 10-yard passes to Rashid Shaheed and Devaughn Vele, but his […]
The Denver Broncos wiped the floor with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. It was more of requirement for them to fulfill as a game on their schedule than one that was up for grabs. While the Cowboys put the first points of the day on the board the Broncos made sure to be the team […]
