Jordan Love stole the spotlight on Sunday Night Football, tossing three touchdown passes — including two to breakout tight end Tucker Kraft on National Tight Ends Day — as the Green Bay Packers beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 35-25 at Acrisure Stadium.
Love Outduels Rodgers as Packers Top Steelers on SNF, 35-25
Facing his former mentor for the first time as a starter, Love looked every bit like the franchise quarterback Green Bay believed he could be. He completed 29 of 37 passes for 36...
A member of the practice squad in Foxborough is moving on to Nashville. The Tennessee Titans signed outside linebacker Truman Jones to the 53-man roster on Monday, as announced by his agency, JL Sports. The move leaves the New England Patriots with an open spot among the group of 17. It also leaves Mike Vrabel […]
Sean McVay told the Rams media on Monday that star wide receiver Puka Nacua is going to practice on Wednesday and be “ready to go” to face the New Orleans Saints in Week 9. That would mean that Nacua only missed one start, a 35-7 win over the Jaguars, and that L.A. has survived his […]
In Week 7, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young injured his ankle against the New York Jets, forcing backup Andy Dalton into the game to finish out the 13-6 Panthers win. Last week, without Young, Carolina was smoked by the Buffalo Bills to the tune of 40-9. Now, the Panthers are hoping that Young will return […]
The NFL’s Most Valuable Player award is essentially a quarterback honor in modern days. Generally, the award goes to a quarterback who leads his team to a playoff spot by putting up gaudy numbers and delivering in big moments on national television, with additional weight being placed on the games down the stretch in the […]
The Buffalo Bills soundly defeated the Carolina Panthers 40-9 on Sunday afternoon. This was a much-needed win for the team, as it had dropped back-to-back games in Weeks 5 and 6 and fell behind the New England Patriots in the AFC East division race. Head coach Sean McDermott now sports a 9-0 record when coming […]
It was a night of reunions as the Green Bay Packers traveled to Pittsburgh to take on their former franchise QB, Aaron Rodgers, and the Steelers. It had all the makings of a highly anticipated game: both teams are at the top of their respective divisions, both starting QBs are having good seasons, and we […]
On Friday, we began the latest iteration of McCovey Chronicles’ most time-honored tradition: the Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List, in which we will work as a community to rank the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization. In the introductory post, everyone selected a group of nominees to choose from, and today […]
It’s a lot more fun to write about the Buffalo Bills when they play well and holy moly is it going to be fun this week! The Bills took on one of the best run defenses in football and made that statement look like it should include the word “allegedly.” There’ll be plenty of film […]
The Tennessee Titans are trading Roger McCreary to the Los Angeles Rams, according to Adam Schefter: I need someone to make the value they got back here make sense. This is the second trade they have made where they ended up swapping picks (Jarvis Brownlee was the first). They are giving up assets without actually […]
The Colts have been the surprise story of the first half of the season. Some other teams have had some moments, but no team has put positive weekly results on the field, as well as the Colts have. We still have our detractors who most often want to put our strength of schedule as a […]
The Los Angeles Rams have finally addressed their need at cornerback, trading with the Tennessee Titans for Roger McCreary. The Rams and Titans agreed to a pick swap of day three choices, essentially meaning that this trade boils down to Tennessee wanting to get rid of a player who L.A. feels could help them over […]
Aidan O’Connell is getting healthy and the Las Vegas Raiders will soon have a decision to make. Last week, Las Vegas coach Pete Carroll said he was hopeful O’Connell will be ready to return this week. Thus, the team could activate his 21-day window to remove him from the injured reserve. He has been on […]
The Dallas Cowboys just don’t have it in them to win two in a row. For the third time this season, they have followed up a good win with a disappointing loss, this time losing to the Broncos 44-24. Any time this team provides us with an ounce of goodness, they turn around and remind […]
The San Francisco 49ers continue to see-saw back and forth in the win and loss column. Week 8’s loss to the Houston Texans wasn’t all that shocking, given the quality of the opponent and the road team’s injuries. All is not lost for the 5-3 Niners. If you’re going to drop a game, let it […]
The official snap counts from the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 8 win over the New York Giants are in! Let’s take a look and run through some analysis. OFFENSE DEFENSE SPECIAL TEAMS DID NOT PLAY INACTIVE: A.J. Brown, Cam Jurgens, Azeez Ojulari, Adoree’ Jackson, Sam Howell ACTIVE: A.J. Dillon
When it comes to the NFL Draft discussion, players in the FBS have dominated the conversation. However, there is another brand of Division I college football also taking place and being done at a high level. Over the past decade, North Dakota State has dominated the FCS football landscape and they look to be favorites […]
Going into Sunday, the Chicago Bears had a chance to rid themselves once again of the demons that haunted them in 2024, breaking through a (4-2) start with an additional win to match their 2024 win total seven games into the season. Instead, the team will leave Baltimore with many more questions than answers after […]
Each week, we look at the opening odds for the Tennessee Titans. Each week, they are a double-digit underdog. This week, they are a 10.5-point underdog at home against the Los Angeles Chargers over at FanDuel Sportsbook. That number isn’t big enough. I wouldn’t bet the Titans at anything less than +21.5. The Chargers come […]
Before the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 7 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, every member of our contributor panel picked the Chiefs to win. Half of them expected a blowout — and as a group, they thought Kansas City would win 33-18. While that aggregate prediction also called for a blowout, it nonetheless carried 36 […]
The Jacksonville Jaguars (4-3) will face the Las Vegas Raiders (2-5) at 4:05 p.m. EST on Sunday, Nov. 2, at Allegiant Stadium. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Jaguars are 3-point favorites and the total is set at 43.5 points. Both teams will be fresh off their bye weeks. “Obviously no one wants to go into […]
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 […]
