With December football in full effect, the Chicago Bears find themselves in a spot that they haven’t been in for five years: Meaningful games. Going into the season, most Bears fans would have taken a winning record with clear improvements across the board. Sprinkle in the feeling of being “In The Hunt”, and I’m not […]
Following the Kansas City Chiefs’ terrible 20-10 loss to the Houston Texans, Arrowhead Pride user Belohawks scoured the Internet for the most appropriate news headlines. Texas-Sized Loss for Kansas City in the Playoffs’ Race Winter’s realistic dreariness settles in. Fourth Downers Bummer decisions and agonizing execution doom results. Bad Beat: Defensive Front Four-of-a-Kind Not Enough […]
I didn’t catch the Bulls game last night as I was boots on the ground at Lambeau Field watching the Bears come up frustratingly short of pulling off an upset. And, well, I’m glad I didn’t. Another game down, and another ugly loss in the books for Billy Donovan’s crew. Bulls Bullets Yet again last night, the Bulls were plagued by turnovers. Josh Giddey and Coby White each had four, which accounted for over half of the team’s 15 giveaways. The Bulls average 15.1 turnovers per game, w...
Jets hit the ice for practice in Winnipeg to get ready for the Stars.
The Cleveland Browns opened as 7.5-point underdogs on the road against the Chicago Bears ahead of their Week 15 match-up, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The over/under on the game is 40.5. The Browns (3-10) are coming off of a 31-29 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Special teams performed poorly again, but the defense joined the […]
The Los Angeles Rams needed a get-right game heading into Week 14 following a loss to the Carolina Panthers. That’s exactly what they got, beating the Arizona Cardinals 45-17. Whenever the Rams have needed to get back on track, the Cardinals have played that role well. Matthew Stafford was back to his MVP self while […]
Another Sunday and another loss for the Las Vegas Raiders, dropping their 11th division game in a row and fourth consecutive contest to the Denver Broncos. But let’s check in and see how Week 14 fared for a few old friends: Keisean Nixon, Josh Jacobs and Jakobi Meyers. Keisean Nixon Nixon has gone from being […]
Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza would be a perfect fit for the Miami Dolphins, but they won't have a chance to draft him.
The Green Bay Packers are fortunate that, despite a great rushing performance from his team throughout the entire second half, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson decided instead to put Sunday’s game in Caleb Williams’ hands on the critical fourth-and-one. Now, Green Bay has two weeks to make sure that doesn’t happen to them again […]
The Atlanta Falcons are keeping ugly company these days. With their ninth loss of the season, our favorite team is now: This is a terrible era by any standard, and if it’s not quite up there with the longest and most depressing historic stretches in NFL history, there’s still time for the Falcons to get […]
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry used an interesting analogy during the preseason to describe the challenges a rookie quarterback faces in moving from college to the NFL. Berry compared the transition to someone being “fluent in English, and now you have to learn Mandarin,” specifically referencing the steep learning curve Shedeur Sanders would have […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are 7-6 and sit alone at the top of the AFC North. They control their own playoff destiny, meaning as long as they win and take care of their business, they don’t have to rely on any outside help to secure a playoff spot. Pittsburgh will host the Miami Dolphins in Week […]
Well, that was easy. The Miami Dolphins defeated the New York Jets in Week 15 by a score of 34-10. The score was an honest one, which is to say that the Dolphins completely dominated the Jets, and fully deserved their fourth successive win to improve to 6-7. Led by their defense and stellar run […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers always do just enough to keep you from completely bailing before the season is over. After consecutive losses that saw the team drop to 6-6, the Steelers went on the road to Baltimore and defeated their arch-rival to take over the lead in the AFC North, and there were plenty of performances […]
Very little of Keisean Nixon’s time in Green Bay has gone according to plan. When Nixon was signed in 2022, he wasn’t supposed to be the Packers’ top cornerback. He wasn’t supposed to be a regular contributor as a slot defender. He wasn’t even supposed to be a kick returner. He was supposed to be […]
I think I speak for the entire city of Jacksonville when I say each and every one of us would watch 1,000 more games in the rain if what we saw Sunday would be the result. Looking to take sole control of the AFC South and the team’s playoff destiny, the Jacksonville Jaguars decimated the […]
First ever NHL recall for the goalie prospect.
Iran will play Egypt in Seattle on June 26 for LGBTQ Pride at the World Cup. It's an opportunity to showcase their horrific anti-gay policies. The post Why Iran vs. Egypt is the best World Cup Pride Match possible appeared first on Outsports .
Each week, I dive into the film of the Eagles’ upcoming opponent to get a feel for who they really are. Think of it less as a stats preview and more as an overview of what shows up repeatedly on film, and what the Eagles will be facing. Pass Defense Few defenses in the NFL […]
This week we are joined by Brandon Lee Gowton of our Eagles sister site, Bleeding Green Nation, to help us preview this week’s primetime matchup. BLG is one of the best in the business so it’s always a pleasure to gather some insight from him into the team he knows best. This is a pretty […]
I have no flowery intro today’s installment of BN Bears Bullets. There is too much to disect to be wordy elsewhere. Mondays are better when the Bears win. Air is fresher and more crisp. The sun shines a little more brightly than it usually does. Coffee tastes better. Folks in the comments section are kinder to each other. I missed not having a “Good, Better, Best” post to do last night. Sigh . WEEK 14 BEARS COVERAGE: Instant Grades | Game Recap | The Nightcap That one stun...
The Las Vegas Raiders will are back on the road as they visit the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. Kickoff is set at 10 a.m. PT. Let’s take a quick look at the Eagles: Record: The Eagles are 8-4 going into Monday night’s game at the Los Angeles […]
The San Francisco 49ers will host the Tennessee Titans in Week 14. The Titans just outlasted the Cleveland Browns 31-29. We watched those same Browns struggle to move the ball at home against the Niners a week ago. Against the Titans, the Browns mustered 412 yards of offense, 351 through the air, and averaged 6.4 […]
It has been a few days. Sometimes that helps. The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Detroit Lions four days ago and for perspective since then a lifetime has happened for some college football fanbases with the College Football Playoff being revealed (sorry Notre Dame fans). Maybe you enjoyed the weekend off from the Cowboys by […]
It finally happened. In his fifth game with the Seattle Seahawks, Rashid Shaheed had a sizable impact on the game from start to finish. He was active in the passing game, he continues to have an effect on the run game, and then of course the play that everyone will remember. Coming out of halftime, […]
