No matter who they face, the New England Patriots tend to strike fear into opponents and their fanbases. They are a modern dynasty, perhaps one of the great in football history. Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre thinks another team should be thought about in the same light: the New Orleans Saints. Favre — a […]

It didn’t take long for New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley to become a star in the NFL. In his first season, he made the Pro Bowl while acting the part of a blossoming superstar. In his second season, however, he didn’t repeat. Though the No. 1 overall pick in many fantasy football drafts, […]

After the Denver Broncos’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, outside linebacker Von Miller wasn’t too pleased with the results his only NFL team has produced. However, rather than dwell on the situation of not going to the playoffs since 2015, the Pro Bowler sees light at the end of the tunnel. Miller cites the […]

Julian Edelman didn’t earn the nickname The Squirrel without reason. The same can be said about Slottie Pippen or Minitron. The New England Patriots’ go-to receiver is as tough as they come. Edelman’s 2019 campaign is a testament to his toughness that earned him the litter of nicknames. Throughout the year, the star 33-year-old has […]

The Los Angeles Chargers aren’t sending a running back to the Pro Bowl. Last year’s Pro Bowl back Melvin Gordon was not the one snubbed from the Bolts’ backfield, however. It was Austin Ekeler, his early-season replacement and a growing star in Los Angeles. However, Ekeler doesn’t feel as if he was snubbed. His goal […]

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard underwent successful surgery on his left knee, coach Brian Flores confirmed on Thursday. The coach declined to talk more on the matter, he said in the press conference. Howard has undergone two knee surgeries in the past, one on each knee. However, that did not stop Miami from signing him […]

On Wednesday, for the first time in his career, Dak Prescott was a limited participant in Dallas Cowboys’ practice. The star quarterback suffered an AC joint injury, as Ezekiel Elliott told reporters, and it appears as if that will carry over to Thursday. Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett indicated on Thursday that Prescott is likely […]

Tom Coughlin has been relieved of his duties as Executive Vice President of Football Operations of the Jacksonville Jaguars, the team announced. Said Jaguars owner Shad Khan in an official statement: “Within the past hour I informed Tom Coughlin that he was being relieved of his duties as Executive Vice President of Football Operations of […]

During the Dallas Cowboys’ 42-21 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Fox analyst Troy Aikman said that quarterback Dak Prescott has a “hairline fracture on the top of his index finger.” However, according to Todd Archer of ESPN, that’s not quite the case, as his sources indicate that the quarterback is not dealing […]

Dak Prescott channeled his inner Tony Romo. Like the now-CBS sportscaster, Prescott showed he is a master of escaping pressure and finding the open guy. While evading from pressure via Los Angeles Rams outside linebacker Dante Fowler Jr., Prescott was looking downfield. That paid off. He found former Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin wide-open. Austin, […]

Jason Witten only needs one hand. The veteran tight end started out the scoring of the Dallas Cowboys’ tilt with the Los Angeles Rams with a clean one-handed touchdown catch. Dak Prescott targeted Witten, but the throw was a tad inaccurate. The 37-year-old tight end made a beautiful adjustment to catch it, though, for the […]

The Denver Broncos were rolling. They entered Sunday’s bout with the Kansas City Chiefs as a confident team, having won two in a row — against the Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans — with rookie Drew Lock as their starting quarterback. Then, on a snowy Missouri day, they came back to earth. In the […]

The Cleveland Browns must defeat the Arizona Cardinals to keep their already slim playoff hopes alive. After a quarter and some change, it did not look like they would do THAT. The Dawg Pound found themselves in a hole, down 14-0 early. That’s before Nick Chubb decided to do Nick Chubb things, of course. In […]

While the NFL ponders what punishment to doll out to the New England Patriots for their videotaping of the Cincinnati Bengals’ sideline during their loss to the Cleveland Browns, FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer released a bombshell: the video of the Patriots’ video team recording the Bengals’ sideline. Watch below. Breaking video: Footage of the #Patriots […]

The Washington Redskins need a new head coach. The now-retired Urban Meyer remains as one of the hottest candidates to enter the NFL as a head coach. On Sunday, before Washington’s tilt with the Philadelphia Eagles, Meyer was spotted with Redskins owner Dan Snyder at FedEx Field, per Ross Tucker of The Athletic. 👀 Urban […]

San Francisco 49ers’ George Kittle is destined to get paid. The game-changing third-year tight end has one year left on his rookie-scale deal, worth $735,000. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, “few around the league believe that Kittle will play next season under those terms.” Kittle, a 2017 fifth-round pick, is expected to reset the […]

Janoris Jenkins will watch Sunday’s slate of games from his couch. The New York Giants released the 31-year-old cornerback on Friday. Next Sunday may be a different story, however. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, there is “every reason to believe” that Jenkins will be on a roster next Sunday, specifically for a playoff contender. […]

Carson Wentz has an excuse. While the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback hasn’t exactly wowed with his play alone, he certainly isn’t benefiting from the personnel around him. With Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson done for the season and Nelson Agholor unable to stay on the field for stretches, he is dealing with a patchwork receiving corps, […]

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green has not played all season long with an ankle injury. He will not return in Week 15 either. With two weeks left in the season and the Bengals playing for draft positioning, the general belief is that Green will not return for the rest of 2019. However, there is […]

The NFL is likely to punish the New England Patriots for admitting to violating league policies last week, according to Mark Maske of The Washington Post. The league is contemplating disciple for infractions of game-day rules. The Patriots admitted to violating league game-day policies last week when a staffed video crew shot footage of the Cincinnati Bengals’ […]

Eli Manning returned to the gridiron in Week 14, starting in a New York Giants loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on “Monday Night Football.” With rookie quarterback Daniel Jones not quite healed from his high ankle sprain, the 38-year-old will start again on Sunday, in a home game against the Miami Dolphins. Many believe that […]

Linebacker Joe Schobert is in the midst of another Pro-Bowl-worthy campaign. However, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the Cleveland Browns have not made an effort to re-sign him and are willing to let him walk in free agency. Per Cabot, Schobert has reportedly not heard from the front office in months. When he […]

T.Y. Hilton could return to the Indianapolis Colts’ lineup on Monday, for their bout with the New Orleans Saints on “Monday Night Football.” On Saturday, Indy flagged Hilton as a game-time decision for the prime time spectacle. Hilton suffered a non-contact injury in practice on Oct. 30. He missed the next three games, only to […]

As if stadium beer prices weren’t enough, Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters will pay $14,037 for his afternoon beer at Orchard Park, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. In the waning moments of the Ravens’ win over the Bills in Buffalo last Sunday, Peters celebrated with a cold one. He jumped into a […]

After his release by the Arizona Cardinals, Terrell Suggs is available to 32 teams, but he wants to be with just one of them. Suggs, who is eligible to be claimed on Monday at 4 p.m. ET, wants to play with the Baltimore Ravens. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Suggs, 37, will “strongly consider” […]

A day after the Miami Dolphins gave him a four-year, $40 million extension, DeVante Parker got more good news. The NFL cleared him from concussion protocol. The Dolphins took him off the injury report and he will play on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, according to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald.  Fellow wide receiver Albert […]

There isn’t much to complain about in B-More. The Baltimore Ravens, at 12-2, are sitting pretty, also known as the top of the AFC. They are one of the NFL’s most entertaining teams, have superstars on both sides of the ball, are young, and have the likely MVP in second-year quarterback Lamar Jackson. However, not […]

The Antonio Brown saga is never-ending. Before the police came knocking at his door — which he filmed on an Instagram Story — there was more Twitter drama in a cycle of AB drama that fuels the internet. On Friday, Brown’s ex-girlfriend/birth mother to his child Chelsie Kyriss took to Instagram to threaten to expose […]

Come seasons end, who will lead the Miami Dolphins in rushing? It’s not Kenyan Drake, he’s long gone. Nor is it Mark Walton (also long gone). How about promising second-year tailback Kalen Ballage? Nope, he’s on the injured reserve. What about his replacement, Patrick Laird? Possibly, but not as possible as this candidate: Ryan Fitzpatrick. […]

For another week, the Philadelphia Eagles will be without their starting running back and wide receiver. On Saturday, Philly downgraded running back Jordan Howard and wide receiver Nelson Agholor from questionable to out on Sunday against the Washington Redskins. Defensive end Derek Barnett will join the two as players not playing. Howard has dealt with […]

The Antonio Brown saga continues. On Saturday morning, the mercurial former NFL wideout updated his Instagram followers on his life. On his Instagram Story, he showed multiple vehicles and officers outside of his residence. Naturally, he said “f-ck the police!” Watch below, as Brown broadcasts his situation to his 3.7 million followers (NSFW). Odd situation […]

The New Orleans Saints have a go-to receiver. His name is Michael Thomas. He is very good at football. That’s not the problem with their offense. No. Drew Brees, Teddy Bridgewater, or whoever commands the offense in 2020 and beyond will have a reliable superstar option in Thomas. However, outside of him, there isn’t much […]

The homecoming of Terrell Suggs was cut short on Friday. The Arizona Cardinals waived the 37-year-old future Hall of Famer. They do so out of respect, as it was mutual. On Friday, after Suggs’ release, Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said the breakup was “mutual.” He noted that “the respect was both ways,” according to […]

The New England Patriots aren’t rolling as they usually tend to do in December. Instead, they’ve lost back-to-back games and three out of their last five. They are struggling when they shouldn’t. Their quarterback Tom Brady is looking to hit a positive note. Heading into their matchup with the 1-12, he inspired through social media […]

What is Jerry Jones going to do? Nobody quite knows who will lead the Dallas Cowboys from the sidelines in 2019. The likeliest scenario is that it won’t be their current head coach, Jason Garrett. It may also not be one of those highly touted college ones. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones does not sound too […]

After John Johnson went to the injured reserve, the Los Angeles Rams thrust rookie safety Taylor Rapp into the starting lineup. Thus far, that’s proven to be a move worth making again, at least, according to his teammate Eric Weddle. Weddle, a 13-year veteran and six-time Pro Bowler, sees a player in Rapp far more […]

With no Matthew Stafford, T.J. Hockenson and Kerryon Johnson, the Detroit Lions’ offense is nearly unwatchable. However, there is a keyword there: nearly. Kenny Golladay has flourished. Wide receiver Kenny Golladay is the saving grace for an anemic offense led by an undrafted rookie quarterback (David Blough) and a rookie running back they plucked off […]

The Seattle Seahawks have downgraded defensive end, Jadeveon Clowney, from questionable to out for Sunday’s matchup with the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, according to John Boyle of the team’s official website. Clowney has been dealing with the flu as well as a core muscle injury. The flu is nothing new to the Seahawks, as it’s […]

Todd Gurley knows the score. The Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams enter their Sunday tilt in different positions. The Cowboys, after losing to the Chicago Bears, sit at 6-7. The Rams, who are on a two-game win-streak, are 8-5. Which team is currently slated to go to the playoffs? The losing one. The Cowboys, […]
