For the sixth-straight week, Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers offense scored 20-plus points; however, the veteran quarterback wants more. Many doubted Pittsburgh before their Week Nine tilt against the Indianapolis Colts, but after a strong performance on both sides of the ball, the team improved to 5-3. The defensive unit had its best outing […]
It was supposed to go better than this, right? He was supposed to be the hot ticket offensive coordinator candidate. Five field goals. Just five field goals with the same bad offensive line that the Texans have had since the start of the Ryans era. It was supposed to be better. The days of basic […]
The Washington Commanders released their final injury report for today’s game on Saturday and then made two roster moves today. WR Treylon Burks and DT Sheldon Day were elevated for today’s game. Burks gets his first opportunity on the active roster after being signed more than two weeks ago. This is Day’s third, and final, […]
Six turnovers will never cut it against an NFL opponent and the Indianapolis Colts found out the hard way in Sunday’s 27-20 road loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium. Quarterback Daniel Jones began with a promising start after he engineered a 13-play, 79-yard masterpiece on the opening drive. Jones converted a pair of […]

The L.A. Rams stared a rebuilding team in the face on Sunday and Matthew Stafford showed the Saints how far they have to go before they’ll ever contend for the Super Bowl again.

The Seattle Seahawks overhauled a good portion of the the skill positions on offense during the offseason. DK Metcalf was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers, while Geno Smith was shipped to the Las Vegas Raiders, and Tyler Lockett and Noah Fant were released. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Ken Walker, Zach Charbonnet and AJ Barner remain, but the […]
The Indianapolis Colts‘ offense had been historic, with the Steelers’ defense trending in the complete opposite direction. Of course, some outside factors may have played a factor — outdoor stadium, the Colts are historically bad in Pittsburgh, the offense was due for a poor showing, etc. Regardless, the Colts’ offense came back down to earth […]
The Seattle Seahawks (5-2) return from their bye week to face the Washington Commanders (3-5) on Sunday Night Football.

The San Francisco 49ers fought their way to another victory, beating the New York Giants 34-24 on the road to improve to 6-3 and remain firmly in the NFC West race.

Have a day, Colston Loveland! The Chicago Bears are back in the win column with their Week 9 triumph against the Cincinnati Bengals. And, naturally, that means the return of the behind-the-scenes look at what goes down in the winning locker room. Ben Johnson’s second road win as a first-year head coach was a memorable one. It wasn’t for the faint of heart. However, it is one we’ll be talking about for a while thanks to the heroics of rookies Colston Loveland and Kyle Monangai. BEARS ...
The Pittsburgh Steelers ended their two-game losing streak in emphatic fashion against the Indianapolis Colts. Their defense, which was ice cold and ranked dead last in stopping the pass, forced six takeaways and held the NFL’s best offense to seven points through three quarters and defeated Indianapolis 27-20. It was as close to a must-win […]
As a Toronto Blue Jays fan, I did not expect to feel further disappointment after losing Game 7 of the World Series in extra innings. Leave it to the Detroit Lions to make a bad weekend even worse for me. Coming off a bye week, the Lions were heavily favored against the Minnesota Vikings—they were […]
Safety Kyle Dugger officially joined the Steelers on Thursday. On Sunday, he was in the starting lineup. For the new addition’s efforts in Pittsburgh’s 27-20 win over the Colts, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin awarded Dugger a game ball. “Can’t say enough about Kyle Dugger,” Tomlin said in his postgame press conference. “Just gave him […]
The Buffalo Bills lead the Kansas City Chiefs 21-13 at halftime in a game that’s felt completely one-sided despite the one-score difference. The Bills marched down the field with a methodical seven-minute touchdown on the opening possession. Back in the day, no team would have dared give Josh Allen the chance to take an early […]
A 17-yard completion from Drake Maye to Hunter Henry sealed the New England Patriots’ sixth straight victory on Sunday. But despite icing the game with the ball in his hands, Maye left the field knowing things needed to be better. “I’ve got to play better for this team down the road,” he said. “I think […]
The Eagles will come back from their Week 9 bye and face off against the Packers on Monday Night Football. Vic Fangio may have one less offensive weapon to game plan for, after Green Bay tight end Tucker Kraft was carted to the locker room with a knee injury on Sunday. After the Packers lost […]
The Eagles added a bit more depth to the cornerback room during the bye week by trading for Michael Carter II and Jaire Alexander, and while the team is still looking for a solid CB2, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio spoke about the state of the secondary before adding these new options. Coming off their Week […]
Happy birthday, Jordan Love; sorry your party’s so lame. The Green Bay Packers debuted their new throwback uniforms this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers and their depleted offensive line and…lost, by a score of 16-13. You’d think the Packers’ defensive front would feast in a game like this, correct? WRONG! For the first time in […]
The Los Angeles Rams lead the Saints 20-10 at halftime but they could be leading by a lot more if not for special teams miscues. What else is new? The Rams have a missed extra point by Joshua Karty and then later Karty missed wide right on a field goal try that would have been […]
I’ve written and re-written this post in my head more times than I’d care to admit. But all is well that ends well with a Chicago Bears victory in Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals. It was absurd, ridiculous, and unthinkable. There were unfathomable plays, irredeemable mistakes, and events that occurred that words cannot accurately describe. But I’ll do my best to put words together in a way that they make sense as I go about recapping this game. FINAL: Chicago Bears 47, Cincinnati Be...
The Green Bay Packers lost to the Carolina Panthers. It sucked. I don’t want to think about the game too deeply right now. Instead of breaking down the game, let’s just take you through the Packers’ Week 9 snap counts. We can start this week’s autopsy with who was on the field on offense and […]

Interior Defenisve Line Osa Odighizuwa (2025 Stats: 325 Total snaps, 21 Total Tackles, 3 TFL, 20 Pressures, 1 Sack) Grade: 55.3 Solomon Thomas (2025 […]
The Detroit Lions got beat up in more ways than one in their Week 9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Not only did they lose on the scoreboard, 27-24, but the team went through a myriad of injuries during the game. Here’s a look at each injury and the latest news on each player. Christian […]
Slides should be fun, but there’s nothing fun about the Atlanta Falcons losing streak. The team lets a close contest slip away. Here’s the Week 9 snap reactions. Penix and London return Penix looked healthy and boosted the offense today. It wasn’t perfect; he’ll want that intentional grounding play back, but the quarterback showed some […]
