The Philadelphia Eagles are rewarding one of their own. On Wednesday, Philly signed kicker Jake Elliott to a five-year, $21.8 million extension, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. He will get $10.5 million guaranteed and is now the third-highest paid kicker in the NFL in terms of per year salary and total guarantees. The […]

The Cincinnati Bengals, on his birthday, benched their long-time starting quarterback Andy Dalton for rookie Ryan Finley. After three weeks of Finley play, where he went 0-3, head coach Zac Taylor reversed course, announcing that Dalton would start against the New York Jets on Sunday. Not only did the Bengals bench Dalton on his birthday, […]

When the flu bug comes around, it rarely leaves. In New England, the Patriots are witnessing that. In preparation for their Week 13 Sunday Night Football bout with the Houston Texans, the New England Patriots witnessed eight players not practice due to “illness.” Included in the eight players not practicing due to illness (among others): […]

With right tackle Bryan Bulaga not practicing on Wednesday (right knee), the Green Bay Packers needed help at the position if he can’t play on Sunday against the New York Giants. It appears as if they got that. According to the NFL’s official transaction wire, via ESPN, the team was awarded offensive tackle Jared Veldheer […]

The New Orleans Saints’ offensive line will not be at full-power for their Thanksgiving day bout with the Atlanta Falcons. According to Katherine Terrell of The Athletic, left tackle Terron Armstead, left guard Andrus Peat and fullback Zach Line will all be out for the turkey day tilt. Armstead suffered a high ankle sprain early […]

It’s a Lamar Jackson world, and we are all living it. Very early in the fourth quarter of the Baltimore Ravens beatdown of the Los Angeles Rams, the second-year quarterback put up his fifth touchdown of the day en route to a blowout. Watch below. On third-and-goal, Jackson found Willie Snead for a touchdown out […]

Is there anyone that can stop Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens? If there is, they haven’t played them. Jackson and Co. got going early against the Los Angeles Rams on “Monday Night Football.” The dynamic second-year quarterback found his rookie wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown for another touchdown. Watch below. TD No. 2 for […]

Robert Griffin asks the following question: Baltimore Ravens fans, are you ready? Ready for football. What type? The Monday night type. Yes/no, whatever,  you should be, especially after watching Robert Griffin III’s hype-up before the game against the Los Angeles Rams. Watch below. Griffin — a former Heisman Trophy winner and backup to another former […]

Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey, Clay Matthews, and Eric Weddle. Who? In their first drive of “Monday Night Football” against the Los Angeles Rams, the Baltimore Ravens, in nine plays, marched down 55 yards down the field in 5:48 minutes to get the first points on the board. Watch below. Lamar Jackson and Marquise “Hollywood” Brown […]

The Green Bay Packers fell on their faces on “Sunday Night Football.” They were severely outplayed by the San Francisco 49ers, losing 37-8 in an expected battle between two of the NFC’s juggernauts. There is no other way to put it. Their head coach, Matt LaFleur, concedes. “We got schemed up and they did a […]

The Carolina Panthers were close to performing a comeback upset over the New Orleans Saints. Tied 31-all with 1:56 left, Ron Rivera and Co. looked like they had the lead in the bag when they lined kicked Joey Slye up to boot in a 28-yard go-ahead field goal. He missed. On the other side, the […]

After losing to the New England Patriots in Foxborough, the Dallas Cowboys are 6-5. Inside of that record is a scary number: going winless against teams with a winning record. Head coach Jason Garrett says that doesn’t matter to his team. “It really doesn’t matter to us,” Garrett said after the game, via Charean Williams […]

In an era in which quarterbacks are given free yards for taking a scratch, other positions continue to get hit, sometimes on cheap shots and don’t see anything in return. Sunday’s Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars divisional tilt epitomized that. Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan was trying to move the pile in a Derrick Henry […]

Sunday’s New Orleans Saints vs. Carolina Panthers bout included an unnecessary hit from Cameron Jordan, at least to the perspective of the spectator. Saints linebacker Demario Davis spun quarterback Kyle Allen to the ground. Jordan tried to get in the play, except he did so after the whistle. He jumped into the action to try […]

The Green Bay Packers got on the board with a Davante Adams sweep play. The San Francisco 49ers quickly answered back with their own playmakers in Jimmy Garoppolo and George Kittle. Garoppolo found a wide-open Kittle in the middle of the field for a 61-yard touchdown. Watch below, Kittle is making his mark in his […]

The turnaround wasn’t that. After winning two in a row, the disappointing 2019 Atlanta Falcons came back down to earn, losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 35-22 fashion, in turn, falling back to the gutters of the NFC South with a 3-8 record. Quarterback Matt Ryan shared some thoughts about the disappointing record. Via […]

Don’t look now, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the most productive wide receiver duo in the NFL. On Sunday, in a win over the Atlanta Falcons, their dynamic duo of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin each surpassed 1,000 yards in the NFL season — an impressive feat considering the Buccaneers have played 11 games. […]

The Oakland Raiders weren’t supposed to lose to the New York Jets, no matter if they were playing in New Jersey or not. However, the harsh reality, for the Black Hole, is that they did just that, as the Jets surprised them in a 34-3 curb-stomping at MetLife. The Raiders played sloppy football in the […]

Yards are not easy to come by in Foxborough. They are harder to get against a No. 1 ranked New England Patriots defense. Add poor, rainy conditions to the mix, and they are nearly impossible. Luckily, in their Week 12 tilt with the Patriots, the Dallas Cowboys found a method to move the chains. Pass […]

Like DeAndre Hopkins (who only fears god), the Seattle Seahawks fear nothing. After beating the Philadelphia Eagles 17-9 in South Philly, quarterback Russell Wilson made that clear. On the Seahawks being 9-2, Wilson shares what his team fears (hint: it’s nothing). “We don’t fear anything, don’t fear any situations,” Wilson said, via Gregg Bell of […]

Though the Philadelphia Eagles dropped a game against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, tight end Zach Ertz left as a winner. At least, individually. In the loss, Ertz became the second-fastest tight end to ever reach 500 receptions, according to NFL Research. He did so in 102 games, just one game behind Kellen Winslow, who […]

A.J. Brown was jealous. After watching his Tennessee Titans teammates, Derrick Henry and Ryan Tannehill, gash the Jacksonville Jaguars’ defense with their legs, the rookie wide receiver must have felt as if he should be getting some points on the board with his. That’s exactly what he did. With 7:07 left in the third quarter […]

Jacksonville Jaguars’ ownership has changed. No longer does Shad Kahn own the team. The new owner lives in Nashville. His name? Derrick Henry. His occupation? Gash the Jaguars’ defense as a member of the Tennessee Titans. After a not-so-lively first half of play, the Titans woke up to get some more points on the board. […]

Dwayne Haskins got his first win as an NFL starter on Sunday. Naturally, the Washington Redskins rookie quarterback was excited. So excited, in fact, that he missed the game’s best formation: the victory, kneel-down one. Instead, Case Keenum filled in. Where was Haskins? Taking selfies. While Keenum took the duties of accepting a negative rush, […]

Carson Wentz has struggled against good teams as of late. With the Philadelphia Eagles’ 17-9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the books, the fourth-year quarterback is now 3-8 against winning teams over the past two seasons, according to ESPN Stats and Info. Wentz was 9-8 against winning teams in his first two seasons in […]

Ryan Tannehill is the definition of sneaky athletic. Tannehill, the Tennessee Titans starting quarterback and former Texas A&M wide receiver, got the team’s Week 12 divisional tilt with the Jacksonville Jaguars going with a 21-yard touchdown run. Watch below. Tannehill drops back, rolls out, doesn’t find anything then turns on the burners. Rather than slide […]

Heading into their matchup with the New England Patriots, the Dallas Cowboys knew that a certain defender would be a problem. That defender being All-Pro cornerback Stephon Gilmore, who has been on a rampage as arguably the best corner in the NFL in 2019. In the second quarter of their highly anticipated bout, Gilmore made […]

The referees hate the New Orleans Saints. In the Saints’ 34-31 win over the Carolina Panthers, the officiating crew on the scene gave the home crowd a cruel reminder of the NFC Championship no-call defensive pass interference. Ron Rivera challenged a no-call on Saints safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson — Rivera got it. The officials, after a […]

While the Philadelphia Eagles field a team devoid of much of their star talent, the Seattle Seahawks will be without their best pass-rusher for the Week 12 tilt. The team announced that defensive end Jadeveon Clowney is officially inactive against the Eagles. Seahawks inactives vs. the Eagles pic.twitter.com/DBk38HOWd5 — Seahawks PR (@seahawksPR) November 24, 2019 […]

Some Cleveland Browns fans don’t seem to be taking Myles Garrett’s suspension well. Before the Browns’ Week 12 tilt with the Miami Dolphins, a select few fans were seen using a Pittsburgh Steelers helmet to strike a Mason Rudolph piñata. Watch below. In Cleveland, a Browns fans is using a Steelers helmet to swing at […]

Officially, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be without their two top offensive weapons against the Cincinnati Bengals. Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and running back James Conner (shoulder) were officially ruled as inactive for the Week 12 divisional tilt. Quarterback Paxton Lynch, cornerback Artie Burns, linebacker Tuzar Skipper, offensive lineman Chukwuma Okorafor and tight end Zach […]

Following reports of being inactive against the Detroit Lions, the Washington Redskins will activate Josh Norman for the Week 12 tilt, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. In turn, cornerback Aaron Colvin will be inactive. Update: Washington changed its mind today and decided to make CB Aaron Colvin inactive instead of Josh Norman, who now […]

The Philadelphia Eagles will be without wide receiver Nelson Agholor and running back Jordan Howard for Sunday’s must-win tilt with the Seattle Seahawks. Wide-out Alshon Jeffery could join them. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, it is now “iffy” that Jeffery plays against the Seahawks. The veteran receiver missed Week 11’s loss to the New […]

The Dallas Cowboys have yet to extend head coach Jason Garrett. If America’s Team does not find the success they are looking for under him in 2019, they may let him walk after his contract ends following the season. If so, the New York Giants could come calling. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, […]

Poor play isn’t enough for the Chicago Bears to give up on Mitchell Trubisky. Despite showing stark regression from year three to year two, Chicago has “serious confidence” in their 2017 No. 2 overall selection, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. In Week 11’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Chicago failed to trot […]

There aren’t many bright spots to the New York Jets’ 3-7 2019 campaign. But, there is Jamal Adams. Adams, a third-year safety out of LSU, has taken the league by storm for his hard-hitting personality, aggressiveness, well-developed game and fearlessness. His next opponent, the Oakland Raiders, notices. Raiders head coach Jon Gruden, in preparation for […]

A week after Colin Kaepernick’s workout in Riverdale, Ga., there has to be an NFL team to reach out to work with him, visit him or sign him, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Kaepernick, 32, remains jobless, as he has since the end of his 2016 campaign with the San Francisco 49ers. He pioneered […]

Officially, cornerback Josh Norman is questionable for Week 12’s tilt with the Detroit Lions. However, he’s not going to play in Sunday’s game. Not due to injury; the Washington Redskins’ well-paid defender simply isn’t playing up to his contract. According to Erin Hawksworth of 106.7 The Fan, Norman will be a healthy scratch against the […]

Wide receiver Robert Woods was a surprise inactive for the Los Angeles Rams in their Week 11 win over the Chicago Bears for personal reasons. While he did return to the team on Thursday, his status for Monday’s game with the Baltimore Ravens is unknown. “It’s looking good, but like we’ve said and kind of […]
