The New York Jets have been one of the most impressive teams this season relative to expectations. Many felt like this team had the makings of a young rebuilding team: the talent is available, but they’ll struggle to win games. However, five weeks in, and New York is in the mix for the AFC East […]

The Seattle Seahawks lost in more ways than one in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints. For one, they lost in heartbreaking fashion, losing 39 – 32. However, during the game, one of their best offensive weapons, Rashaad Penny went down with a serious injury. The running back was taken off the game immediately. […]

No one could’ve predicted that this would happen. After five weeks of NFL action, the Philadelphia Eagles remain the only undefeated team in the league. Many expected this team to be solid this season after their offseason acquisitions. No one, though, expected Jalen Hurts to become one of the best QBs in the league this […]

The Buffalo Bills are just so clearly ahead of most teams in the league today. That fact was painfully obvious during their Week 5 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Against a battered Pittsburgh team, Josh Allen showcased his might, throwing beautiful spirals that exposed the Steelers’ soft defense. Would you believe it, though, if someone […]

Well, this wasn’t how the New York Mets’ season was supposed to end. The team from Queens had one of the best seasons in recent memories, eclipsing the 100-win mark. They led the NL East for most of the year… only to squander a 10.5 game lead to the Atlanta Braves. The Mets were then […]

Oh, Antonio Brown. A year ago, the wide receiver was on top of the NFL world, having won his first Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After years of off-field drama, it seemed like Brown has started to turn his image around. Now, Brown is not on an NFL roster after his bizarre exit […]

Somehow, some way, the Cleveland Browns are in the mix for the AFC North. After four games, the team is tied with the Cincinnati Bengals and the Baltimore Ravens for first place in the division. With Deshaun Watson still out due to his suspension, Cleveland should try their best to win as much games as […]

The Detroit Lions are having an absolutely bonkers season for all the wrong reasons. After struggling on offense last year, this season is shaping up to be their best offensive output in years.

Brian Robinson’s Week 5 return from injury is incredible in many ways. The Washington Commanders rookie was shot twice in the leg during the preseason in an attempted robbery incident.

The AFC North is a complete and utter mess four weeks into the season. The Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens, and Cleveland Browns are all tied at 2-2 four weeks into the season. Because of that, the Week 5 matchup between Cincy and Baltimore holds a lot of weight. Winning here would give either team a […]

Heading into the 2022 season, the wide receiver position seemed to be one of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ biggest strengths.

Kadarius Toney’s stint with the New York Giants has been a disappointment, to say the least. The former first-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft has struggled to make an impact on the rebuilding team.
