In 2023, the NFL Player’s Association released their first ownership grades, giving a letter assessment to NFL owners about their treatment of players in multiple categories such as food, number of trainers, how they treat families on game day, and more. In the two-plus years since, NFL owners who have received poor grades in the […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to host the Cincinnati Bengals for the second of two matchups on the season. Pittsburgh dropped the first game to the Bengals 33-32 in Week 7 in a shootout that featured nearly 600 passing yards and seven touchdown passes. Ahead of the game, though, the Steelers have made a roster […]
Now that Brock Purdy is all but returning as the starter for the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, Mac Jones will return to QB2. A role he may be underpaid for. The 49ers could not have brought in a better backup to Purdy, and Jones is under contract through 2026. Obviously, […]
Man do I hate Thursday Night Football. My disdain for the NFL’s decision to go for a money grab by making teams play before they’ve had a chance to fully recover or install an adequate gameplan is well documented on this site. No need to rehash any of it again. And I haven’t watched a […]
First quarter On the Kansas City Chiefs’ first play from scrimmage against the Denver Broncos, quarterback Patrick Mahomes connects with wide receiver Hollywood Brown for a huge 38-yard gain to flip the field. Mahomes follows it up by hitting wide receiver Rashee Rice over the middle, moving Kansas City inside the red zone at the […]
The San Francisco Giants have kept their cards remarkably close to their chest during Buster Posey’s year-plus tenure. The Willy Adames signing a year ago was surprising, and the Rafael Devers trade was downright shocking. On the surface, Posey and the ownership crew have been a little bit more open going into their second offseason. […]
NFL Best Bets: Week 11 It is Week 11 of the NFL season, which means two things: the playoff picture is sharpening and Hallmark is officially in Christmas mode. I’m not sure which one I’m more excited about. Last year, Hallmark rolled out a Chiefs-themed holiday story with actual players in it. This year I […]
We use our Las Vegas Raiders’ Tuesday Community Question to explore many facets of the franchise. Sometimes, we delve into the rich history of the organization. That’s where we went this week as we asked you to simply name a great Raider of the past. As you know, I love Raiders’ history. The great names […]
Every year, Lane Kiffin is one of the hottest names in college football coaching searches. Kiffin went through a lot of ups and downs as a young coach, but has really settled in at Ole Miss and done a fantastic job there. He is in his sixth season in Oxford and has compiled a 53-19 […]
The second half of the 2025 season starts with the Eagles soaring above their rivals in the NFC East. The next eight weeks may be little more than a formality for the presumptive division champions, but they haven’t clinched anything yet. And at this point, the Cowboys seem to be the only team with a […]
Coming off an embarrassing 30-13 loss at the hands of the Miami Dolphins, the Buffalo Bills are in need of a bounce-back game in the worst way. Given that their opponent, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, are among the NFC’s top teams this season, it doesn’t seem like the ideal scenario for said bounce-back game to […]
The Chicago Bears have been rolling since week 3, winning 6 of 7 games, but they got off to a bumpy start to the season when they dropped their first two games. One of those games was against the Minnesota Vikings. We don’t need to revisit how poorly that fourth quarter went, but the Bears […]
The New England Patriots needed a quick turnaround coming off their win in Tampa on Sunday, and they successfully managed it. Taking on the visiting New York Jets on Thursday Night Football, the team of head coach Mike Vrabel celebrated its eighth win in a row to improve to 9-2 on the year — securing […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have hit the must-win portion of their schedule. If they lose to the Cincinnati Bengals, they fall to 5-5 and give the Baltimore Ravens a chance to take first place in the AFC North before Sunday ends.

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 Game When the Lions are in […]
Since eclipsing 30 points in every game during a 4-0 start to the 2025 NFL season, the Buffalo Bills’ offense has not resembled the high-flying juggernaut Bills fans have come to expect during the Josh Allen era in Buffalo. Over the last five games, the Bills (6-3) have averaged 23 points per game while going […]
The Buffalo Bills host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a critical game for both teams. The Bills are in second place in the AFC East, and with the New England Patriots playing as well as anyone right now, the Bills need a win to keep pace with their division rival. For the Bucs, a win […]

This might be the last good-weather Friday we get this calendar year. I hope you make the most of it. The 6-3 Bears travel to Minnesota with revenge on their mind as they face the Vikings. One path that Chicago’s football team can take toward evening the season series with Minnesota is by launching deep balls. This clip with ESPN’s Mina Kimes and Benjamin Solak comes with good points: The most explosive team in football right now is….the Chicago Bears?! On the pod @benjaminsolak...
The San Francisco 49ers suffered a huge blow to their defense a few weeks ago when Fred Warner was ruled out with a season-ending ankle injury. It was a crushing blow, given that the 49ers had already lost defensive end Nick Bosa for the season, as San Francisco was hoping to have its stars bridge […]
The 2-7 Las Vegas Raiders host the 3-5-1 Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. Here are five keys to game: Take advantage of Dallas’ defense: The Cowboys have a solid offense, but they are struggling because of a rough defense. Dallas has allowed 30 or more points in five of their game. That is staggering and […]
NFL.com – 31 (-1) “Tyler Shough leveled up from his first start to his second, delivering some big throws in a statement road victory at Carolina. The Saints only scored 17 points, running their streak of games under 20 points to five, but it was arguably their best offensive showing, even after they traded away two starters at the deadline (WR Rashid […]
The Washington Commanders held their third, and final practice of the week in Spain as they prepare to play the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Two players are listed as questionable, and they both picked up new injuries during the week. TE Ben Sinnott was on yesterday’s report, and he was limited with an ankle injury, […]
They may not have shown the urgency one would expect, but the New York Jets still found themselves in a position to cut into their 13-point deficit just outside the two-minute warning of their Thursday night game against the New England Patriots. A conversion and possible touchdown would have allowed them to stay in the […]
