The Cleveland Browns were still in the playoff hunt. Maybe not for a Wild Card seed, but the division title was just a few games away. No, really. RELATED: BROWNS VS. 49ERS: SPECIAL TEAMS BLOW IT AGAIN The San Francisco 49ers are a good team. Not great, but much improved since last season. And so […]
The Carolina Panthers were in first place for a few minutes in the NFC South but after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won a moments after the Panthers did, the Bucs are back in front. The two teams play twice in the final three weeks of the season, so there is plenty of opportunity still. Elsewhere […]
As promised on Wednesday, the SnakePit Awards get under way today, beginning with the Play of the Year.

Recap of the game.
The Seattle Seahawks (9-3) have pulled up alongside the Los Angeles Rams (9-3) in the NFC West race.

Josh Allen, the Buffalo Bills’ reigning NFL MVP quarterback, is no stranger to NFL records. Now, he has another. With his latest rushing touchdown, Allen has surpassed former Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton as the leader in rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in NFL history. Allen scored his 76th regular-season rushing […]
The San Francisco 49ers took care of business in the cold on Sunday, beating the Cleveland Browns 26-8 to improve to 9-4 on the season. That, paired with the Los Angeles Rams loss to the Carolina Panthers, put the 49ers just a half-game back in the NFC West with five weeks left to go. The […]
The Los Angeles Rams (9-3) just lost to the Carolina Panthers (7-6) in perhaps the biggest upset of the week and one of the bigger updates of the season, and per usual Sean McVay had to address the media after the latest blunder to address how the team is feeling after the upset, how the […]

Let’s take […]

Refs screw up call – cost Colts game against Texans! Offense fails late!
Cam Ward and the Tennessee Titans’ offense looked like they were taking some big steps forward over the last two weeks. All of that progress completely disappeared in today’s 25-3 loss at home to the Jacksonville Jaguars. After coming out on their first possession and moving the ball, they were unable to get anything going […]
Nate Thomas isn’t a household name, backups in general usually aren’t.

Tensions are always high during NFL games. Whenever the San Francisco 49ers get into a skirmish, Jauan Jennings is usually in the center. After former Niner Maliek Collins went down with an injury, there were reportedly words exchanged between Jennings and Cleveland’s defenders. One player, defensive tackle Shelby Harris, took whatever Jennings said personally: He’s […]
