The Kansas City Chiefs started this season off as well as humanly possible. Alex Smith had swag, Andy Reid wasn’t messing up with clock management, and all seemed well in the world. So well, in fact, first round NFL Draft pick Patrick Mahomes became a bit of an afterthought. That was so a few weeks […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston, who is currently out due to a shoulder injury, is apparently receiving some good news from those tasked with monitoring his throwing arm.

The Dallas Cowboys are not exactly having a season that lives up to its owner’s standards. And yet, Jerry Jones is out here publicly defending head coach Jason Garrett.

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski really is a polar bear who catches passes from Tom Brady. He’s plenty of other neat things too, but let’s not distract from the message about to be inserted into your cranium. Rob Gronkowski is threatening Tom Brady. Sound the alarms! Call the police! A giant human is […]

Some not so great news coming out of the New York Giants National Football League franchise. It is being reported that defensive back Janoris Jenkins left the team’s Thanksgiving Day game in a walking boot. This came via Art Stapleton of USA Today, as he tweeted that cornerback Janoris Jenkins wore a walking boot as […]

There’s no Aaron Rodgers currently behind center for the Green Bay Packers. Due to that, previously unknown gunslinger Joe Callahan is the backup for the storied National Football League franchise. With that comes a rather obvious question. Who in the heck is Joe Callahan? Well, according to him, he’s the man ready to play if […]

The Seattle Seahakws fan base would probably like some clarity in regard to the injuries of both Kam Chancellor and Cliff Avril.

Oakland Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio insists that Khalil Mack and Bruce Irvin‘s absence from practice this week had nothing to do with Ken Norton Jr.’s firing.

The Dallas Cowboys aren’t exactly having the type of season most expected the storied National Football League franchise to have. Head coach Jason Garrett knows this, but doesn’t believe massive amounts of tinkering will be had between now and the rest of the voyage. “Certainly we’re always looking at ourselves and things that we can do better, […]

Add Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins to the list of players who are not thrilled with the playing conditions at FedEx Field. “It probably doesn’t look like a professional NFL field should,” Cousins said Friday on 106.7 The Fan in D.C., via NBC Sports Washington. “If you think the field is rough now on Thanksgiving, […]

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Blaine Gabbert is supposedly, suddenly, good at football for some reason. This is at least according to people who want that narrative to be spun as such. For those unaware, Blaine Gabbert is most known for being a bust. After that, he’s probably most known for being a huge bust. Basically, he’s […]

Houston Texans quarterback Tom Savage isn’t likely on a lot of fantasy football teams. Not only is the veteran gunslinger not exactly locked in as an every week starter, but his numbers leave a lot to be desired. He’s also a bit turnover prone. According to Tom Savage, he’s not actually turnover prone, though. From […]

The Oakland Raiders recently fired its defensive coordinator. John Pagano has been tasked to fill that role for the rest of the season. Those are the facts as we know them. For John Pagano, though, he has to turn the idea of a currently iffy Raiders defensive into something far more competent. “I talked to these […]

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is having an objectively down season. Despite it being like this for a few years now, it will still be a very interesting offseason for the Giants, as the QB and franchise will need to figure out what to do moving forward. As for the right now, Eli Manning […]

Find you a person as irrationally confident as Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry. The receiver, for those unaware, had previously stated that Miami would sweep the New England Patriots this season.

The Detroit Lions suffered a brutal hit to its playoff chances against the Minnesota Vikings on Thanksgiving. While an optimist might look at the near come from behind victory as a reason to smile, cornerback Darius Slay prefers the Lions never put themselves in that position to start with. Slay, who did explain that he’s […]

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden apparently doesn’t care what the data looks like. He only cares if his team manages to leave games with a victory. Hooray, illogical thinking that could mask giant issues for a National Football League franchise! “It’s always really pretty when you win,” Gruden said, via the Washington Post. “It doesn’t matter […]

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen had himself a great Thanksgiving Day game. By the time it was all said and done on Thursday, the veteran defensive standout finished with two sacks. Even better? He got to do this almost immediately after welcoming his child into this fine world. “I’ve got three boys now — oh my […]

The Dallas Cowboys are struggling. Quarterback Dak Prescott, now in his second season, is also struggling.

Remember when John Elway was calling players on the Denver Broncos roster soft?

We can now add the release of defensive back Lorenzo Doss to that discussion. Lorenzo Doss […]

The Minnesota Vikings have a lot of things to be grateful for a day after Thanksgiving. One of the more surprising things the Purple People Eaters should feel blessed about concerns head coach Mike Zimmer falling short of the coach getting himself fined. In what ended up being an entertaining game against the Detroit Lions, […]

New England Patriots veteran Tom Brady is arguably the greatest quarterback in the history of football. He also ages as well as any human who has ever walked the planet. Apparently, part of the reason Brady hasn’t aged out of the National Football League quickly is that he’s not pushed too hard to practice just […]

Numbers never lie. Well, sometimes they might be misleading, but whatever. It is especially a whatever type of situation if you want to start praising Los Angeles Chargers defensive back Casey Hayward. For those unaware, Casey Hayward has been dominant the last six seeks. How dominant? I’m glad you asked. Lowest passer rating allowed by […]

The 2018 NFL Draft quarterback pool is a confusing one. No one really seems sure who is exactly what. That being said, at least according to some scouts, presumed top prospects Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold are actually better off staying in school instead of turning pro. This is at least hinted at in a […]

Earlier this week, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton posted a message on social media that included his mugshot. While the messaged had to be decoded, as the gunslinger uses “special” fonts for some reason, it appeared to be mostly about second chances. After people have reacted to it, Cam Newton has since gone on to […]

The Seattle Seahawks would like running back Thomas Rawls to take an approach to work that we wish all our bosses requested us to do. The Seahawks want Thomas Rawls to try less hard. Yes! Greatest bosses ever! OK. So, uh, wait a second. There’s context to that. It comes in the form of Tom […]

New Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave, who replaces the recently fired Mike McCoy, apparently has a plan for the team’s inept offense.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman was recently demoted. Due to some inept play on the outside this season, the Ravens sent him to the bench.

Datone Jones entered the National Football League with plenty of hype in 2013. Fast-forward a few years, and now the former first round draft pick has been waived by his third different team in a single season. This time, the San Francisco 49ers unceremoniously dumped the defensive player. For those unaware, Datone Jones was the […]

That experiment didn’t last long. The Buffalo Bills have announced that Tyrod Taylor is back as the team’s starting quarterback. Who knew that a historically awful performance by a backup quarterback would result in such a thing? Oh yeah … just about everyone. Nathan Peterman started last weekend for the Bills. He was awful. Not just […]

The Kansas City Chiefs fired John Dorsey back in June. At the time, despite Dorsey himself saying he was mostly just a caretaker at that point, it came as a shock to those who follow the National Football League. A few months removed from that, and John Dorsey wants back in the game. “Hopefully when […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars are sneaky good this season. A real and legitimate playoff team. This is largely due to its defense and players like defensive lineman Calais Campbell. How has this all worked out so well for the Jaguars? There are a variety of reasons, but the coupling of a good running game with a great […]

Whatever you do, under zero circumstances, do not question where Ben Roethlisberger places his priorities, apparently.

This week, he used the platform to go after his critics. “In a way […]

The Arizona Cardinals once hoped running back Chris Johnson would help solve a lot of team issues. Since the veteran back lost his job to Adrian Peterson back in October, he’s instead helped to flame the fire. Taking to the mean streets of Twitter this week, Chris Johnson has posted the following messages (H/T Pro […]

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is a polarizing figure. Between his college career that had scandal surrounding it, to his sometimes weird postgame press conference behavior, you either love or hate the guy. Deep breaths, guys. You’re about to either be infuriated over a supposed hypocrisy or feel the heartfelt message wash over you like […]
