The San Francisco 49ers are getting some much-needed reinforcements this week, as starting quarterback Brock Purdy and wide receiver Ricky Pearsall are both returning from multi-week injuries. Purdy has been out since Week 4 after re-aggravating a toe injury, while Pearsall has missed the same amount of time with a knee injury. For Pearsall, the […]
It’s been a topic of discussion going back to the start of last season. It’s no secret that Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is coaching for his job for the remainder of the season, and with the team being 2-7 after an unpredictable loss to the New York Jets, local media and fans want […]
The Indianapolis Colts are on the bye in Week 11, and while they entered it in first place in the AFC, they have already lost their position after one game. The New England Patriots became the first nine-win team in the NFL on Thursday night, defeating the New York Jets, and taking sole possession of […]
The Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles face off on Sunday night in a game that is bound to have huge implications for the NFC playoff race. The Eagles currently hold the top seed in the conference, and with such a comfortable lead in the NFC East, their playoff hopes are not in doubt. It’s just […]
Shh…Don’t tell anyone, but Tyler Warren might be my favorite Colts player. Yes, Jonathan Taylor is stealing the headlines right now. Stealing…? Ok, not stealing, but you get the idea. All the talk is about Taylor and well deserved. He is ripping off huge runs, breaking franchise records, and carrying this team at times. The […]
Last week, I wrote about how Cardinals legend Albert Pujols was brought up in the Eric Kay trial. An ex-Angels club employee allegedly had videos of Pujols making Kay do dares such as being hit on the knee with a 90-mph fastball. The former employee also testified that Pujols was paying kay to do the […]
Every week, we’re digging into the trenches, offense and defense, because that’s where the real action happens. In this installment, we’re shining a spotlight on the offensive line, who’s holding it down, who’s opening holes for the running backs, and who’s keeping Dak Prescott clean. Let’s get to it. Left Tackle Tyler Guyton (2025 Stats: […]

The Jets lost to the Patriots on Thursday Night Football 27-14. I think we all need to acknowledge is the quality difference in these teams and the difference in where these teams are in their respective cycles. You might say those are excuses. I’d say calling the Patriots a better team is hardly excuse-making. It’s […]
It’s the heavyweight battle of the century, or at least the season: the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks battle it out for the NFC West lead. Both teams have displayed impressive offensive prowess and defensive dominance through the first half of the year, so expect a classic between these Super Bowl contenders. Before the […]
The Green Bay Packers have dealt with more changes and uncertainty on their offensive line in 2025 than they have for some time. Yes, David Bakhtiari’s bouncing in and out of the lineup after his torn ACL was a challenge, but the rest of the line had stayed largely healthy during the few years when […]
I was prepped to do some of my usual analysis on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ahead of the Buffalo Bills’ Week 11 game against them this weekend. There’s some good stuff there too. For instance, Tampa Bay’s points per drive ranks 16th in the league. Pretty mid for a 6-3 team. Even with their recent […]
The Buffalo Bills played terrible football in Week 10. Everyone paying attention to the sport understands this to be true. It was a full team effort, the kind that sticks to your teeth like frozen spinach slathered on a pizza. Awful. There’s little reason to offer you as a reader too much of a build-up […]
Dan Quinn spoke to reporters in Madrid, Spain after today’s practice. The team is using Real Madrid’s facilities as they prepare to play the Miami Dolphins for the NFL’s first game in the country. He named LT Laremy Tunsil, DT Johnny Newton, and LB Nick Bellore as the team captains for Sunday’s game. Joe Whitt […]
Ahead of this year’s training camp, New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel explained that he was looking at his team’s performances in three distinct categories. There is the good, the bad, and, as he called it, the s—t that gets you beat. On Thursday night against the New York Jets, there were shades of […]
The Miami Dolphins defensive line hasn't been good all year, but they are starting to show signs of life. Against the Buffalo Bills, they were nearly flawless.
The San Francisco 49ers started it all. It’s their fault. In Weeks 1 and 2, the Arizona Cardinals defeated the New Orleans Saints and the Carolina Panthers to begin this season 2-0-0. Their next contest was on the road against the 49ers. RELATED: CARDINALS OPEN AS HOME UNDERDOGS In the fourth quarter, the score was […]
Braves History 1957 – Milwaukee Braves outfielder Hank Aaron is named National League Most Valuable Player with 239 votes. Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals is a close second with 230, and his teammate Red Schoendienst finishes third with 221. 2001 – Larry Bowa, with an 86-76 record, is named the National League Manager […]
State of the NFC South: Entering Week 11 The Saints are the only team that has won for a change EXCLUSIVE: Will Clapp assuming leadership role during injury recovery Exactly what you want from a veteran. Colts, Bears Almost Landed Saints Star CB At Deadline: Insider Another trade deal could have happened at the deadline.
Cincinnati Bengals (3-6) The Bengals are returning from their bye week on the heels of back-to-back catastrophic losses, in which they scored 80 combined points but blew two late leads. Cincinnati’s defensive woes have been the team’s downfall for most of the season. They did receive very positive news earlier this week that star quarterback […]
Last year, the Los Angeles Rams beat Sam Darnold and Minnesota Vikings twice, and this year Darnold is playing with the Seattle Seahawks, so will Darnold be better with the Seahawks? The same? Or worse? And, is Darnold in a better system in Seattle than he was in with the Vikings? I think it’s fair […]
Those who know me well will tell you that two of my favorite things to watch and discuss are the Buffalo Bills and Ted Lasso. Sometimes I’ll throw on a favorite episode to pass the time, or to help me forget about a humiliating loss by the Bills — like last Sunday. Earlier this week […]
Coming off two straight losses, after having arguably their worst rushing performances of the season in back-to-back weeks, the Green Bay Packers need a get-right game badly. Thankfully, the football Gods have a gift for Matt LaFleur’s squad: the New York Giants, who are on pace for a historically bad run defense. How bad is […]
Hello CSR! Welcome to Brian Answers, part two of your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! As I expected, most of the questions that came in this week were heavily centered around the future of Bryce Young, and by association the future of the coaching staff. We mixed in some Christmas fun along the way […]
Looking back on Week 1 is hard — the Chicago Bears dominated a middling Minnesota Vikings team before losing late. At the time, it felt like equal parts the Bears folding to their old ways and the Vikings maintaining a winning mettle. But in retrospect, given the shape of the season, it sure feels like […]
