Is anyone surprised the Cleveland Browns did not pan out in 2019? This was the most predictable team failures in years. There are plenty of reasons why the Browns will notch another losing season. First, Baker Mayfield was highly overrated coming into the season and there is no reason why. Many thought that the addition […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars have no sense of direction at the moment. Doug Marrone may or may not be out of town and the team recently parted ways with Tom Coughlin. Rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew has been starting games for Jacksonville with Nick Foles on the bench. The Jaguars gave Foles a four-year, $88 million deal. […]

It is hard to remember a more criticized draft pick than the New York Giants’ No. 6 overall selection of Daniel Jones. It all began during the 2018 NFL Draft when the Giants opted to take Saquon Barkley at No. 2 rather than go for a quarterback. Ultimately, they ended up with Jones and are […]

Hindsight is always 20/20, especially when discussing sports. The 2005 NFL Draft is a perfect example when looking at it in 2019. This draft featured one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game. The San Francisco 49ers held the first pick in the draft and were in need of a quarterback after a […]

If you are active on Twitter, then you are aware that Dez Bryant is interested in a return to the NFL. The former star wide receiver has not been shy about putting his feelings out there about playing again. During a full slate of Week 16 games, Bryant responded to a tweet expressing his interest […]

If you would have said on December 26, 2015 that the Washington Redskins would be in need of a tight end in a few short seasons, you would have received some crazy looks. That was the night a 25-year old named Jordan Reed caught nine passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns to help the […]

Right when people started to believe in the Los Angeles Rams, they delivered one of their worst performances of the season. After winning two in a row to get to 8-5, the Rams went to Dallas and fell behind immediately. The final score was 44-21 in favor of the Cowboys, but even that score felt […]

The New England Patriots are in desperate need of anyone to step up on the offensive side of the ball. Their skill positions have been weak all season. The Patriots are coming off of a 34-13 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The schedule granted them another game against one of the worst teams in the […]

Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore has a chance to do something that has not been done since 2009. That is winning the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award as a cornerback. Charles Woodson was the last to accomplish this feat and Gilmore is a strong candidate 10 years later. The New England Patriots have been […]

The New England Patriots should have interest in Oklahoma’s Jalen Hurts. After an outstanding season, Hurts might have played himself into the top three rounds of the 2020 NFL Draft. The already deep quarterback class is now deeper with Hurts in the conversation. Before 2019, Hurts wasn’t on the radar of draft pundits. He received […]

The 2018 NFL Draft saw both New York football teams pick in the top three. Both teams entered the draft needing help at many positions but especially quarterback. After the third pick, one team got their franchise quarterback and one did not. The first mistake of the draft was made when the Cleveland Browns took […]

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees made some more history during a Monday night win over the Indianapolis Colts. Brees entered the game two touchdowns shy of Peyton Manning’s all-time touchdown record of 539. Midway through the third quarter, Brees would connect with Josh Hill for his third touchdown of the night and No. 540 […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are back. They have won four games in a row to get to 10-4 on the season. This marks five straight seasons with 10 or more wins and four straight AFC West titles. This year, the Chiefs will look to finally make it to the Super Bowl. To do so, they […]

The Washington Redskins have not had a successful head coach since Joe Gibbs’ first tenure in the 1980’s. Names like Jim Zorn, Norv Turner, and Steve Spurrier have been given the chance to turn the team around and they have all failed. Most recently, the Redskins parted ways with Jay Gruden after four and a […]

The Cleveland Browns’ disastrous season continued in Week 15 with a 38-24 loss in Arizona. The hype surrounding this team was extremely unwarranted and they are proving that they were clearly overrated. Cleveland still has an outside shot to make the playoffs, but a loss to the Baltimore Ravens next week would end those hopes. […]

The Minnesota Vikings are a dangerous team in the NFC. They are currently 10-4 and one game behind the Green Bay Packers in the NFC North. The two teams will matchup in Week 16 in the biggest game of the season for both sides. Minnesota will have to figure out their secondary if they want […]

Aaron Rodgers has been one of the best quarterbacks in football since he became the starter in Green Bay. He has also been one of the most marketable players in all of professional sports since that time as well. Rodgers and State Farm have teamed up to make some of the best commercials over the […]

The Dallas Cowboys picked up a much needed Week 15 win. They defeated the Los Angeles Rams in blowout fashion to get back to .500 and remain atop the NFC East. Dallas had one of their rookies, Tony Pollard, show promise during the win. Pollard was drafted in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL […]

There is some serious running back talent in the NFL this season. The position is as deep as it has been in a long time. Coming into the season, there was a clear top four on paper but Seahawks running back Chris Carson is starting to insert his name into the conversation. Saquon Barkley, Christian […]

Ole Miss receiver DK Metcalf was thought to be one of the top pass catchers in the 2019 NFL Draft. He finished with 50 catches for 1,228 yards and 14 touchdowns in his final collegiate season. Pair those numbers with a 6’4, 230-pound frame and he seems like a can’t miss prospect. Metcalf ended up […]

LSU swept the college football awards this season. They were the best team in the nation led by the best quarterback in Joe Burrow. But let’s not forget that they also had one of the best defensive players overall in safety Grant Delpit. Delpit was awarded the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s best defensive […]

The last time the Kansas City Chiefs met the Denver Broncos, it was a bittersweet game. The Chiefs picked up a blowout 30-6 victory, but Patrick Mahomes suffered a dislocated kneecap. This time around, Mahomes is healthy and the Broncos will have a new quarterback under center. Kansas City is coming off a win in […]

Are there problems in New England? The Patriots seem to be right on schedule with their season-long cycle. They breezed through the early part of their schedule. Now, New England has lost two in a row and everyone is starting the claims that Tom Brady’s career and the team’s reign of dominance are over. Let’s […]

John Elway has not made any ridiculous claims during his time as general manager of the Denver Broncos. His worst might have been when he said that Joe Flacco was entering his prime when he signed the 34-year old before the season. Flacco was placed on IR with a herniated disk in his neck. Denver […]

One of the more lopsided Week 15 matchups on paper will feature the Baltimore Ravens and New York Jets on Thursday night. The Ravens have won nine in a row and are currently the hottest team in the league. The Jets are coming off an unimpressive win over the Miami Dolphins. The Jets have an […]

Alabama could have three wide receivers selected in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Henry Ruggs III is one of them and he is an extremely attractive prospect. He would be a fit on any team, but the Indianapolis Colts could use another weapon on the outside. Ruggs might be the fastest receiver […]

If it seems like Khalil Mack is having a down year for the Chicago Bears, he is not. Mack has not been drawing his normal headlines but he is still playing like a top-two defensive player in the league. Mack currently has 7.5 sacks, five forced fumbles, and 41 tackles on the season. He is […]

Le’Veon Bell did his career no favors over the last few years. First, he took a year off in hopes of a big contract. He ended up signing for less than what the Steelers offered. Second, he signed with the New York Jets where players go to drift off into mediocrity. That is exactly what […]

The Baltimore Ravens just keep on winning. They picked up their ninth straight win in Week 14 when they defeated the Buffalo Bills. The Ravens will be playing on a short week in another winnable game. Baltimore will take on the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football in Week 15. This should be the […]

After 16 years of Ben Roethlisberger, can the Pittsburgh Steelers really turn to an undrafted rookie out of Samford? When watching Mason Rudolph play, it is easy to accept Devlin Hodges. Hodges has played in five games this season making three starts. The Steelers are 3-0 in those games. He has thrown just two interceptions […]

Does anyone believe that Jacoby Brissett is the best option long-term for the Indianapolis Colts? After Andrew Luck announced his retirement, the Colts had no choice but to turn to Brissett. As the season comes to an end, Indianapolis may be looking for a new quarterback earlier than they hoped. Winning and losing is the […]

The Philadelphia Eagles and Miles Sanders are somehow alive in the NFC East. After a 23-17 overtime win on Monday night against the New York Giants, Philadelphia has a chance to host a playoff game. As embarrassing as it is, it’s true. They have three games left against divisional opponents. First it is the Washington […]

The Los Angeles Rams’ offense is finally starting to click, but Cooper Kupp needs to join the parade. After looking lost for much of the season, the Rams have won two in a row and have scored 62 points combined in both games. In Week 15 against the Dallas Cowboys, the offense will have to […]

It was clear after a 45-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens that something had to change in Los Angeles. Finally, the Rams have realized that giving the ball to Todd Gurley will open things up for the rest of the offense. The Rams won their last two games handily and put up 62 points combined, […]

Chris Carson came into the season as the Seattle Seahawks’ main ball carrier. This has remained true through 13 games. He has carried the ball 246 times for 1,057 yards and five touchdowns. He will have to take his game to another level when the Seahawks take on the Carolina Panthers. Rashaad Penny has not been […]

It is amazing to think that the Jacksonville Jaguars are two years removed from an AFC Championship Game appearance. In 2017, the Jaguars finished 10-6 and saw their season end in Foxborough like many teams have during the Bill Belichick era. Here in 2019, Jacksonville has quickly fallen from grace and seems to have no […]

The race for the AFC West title is over. Once again, it will be the Kansas City Chiefs representing the division in the postseason. At 9-4, the Chiefs have a three-game lead and are coming off their biggest win of the season. Kansas City has flown under the radar this season, but they are a […]

One team is going to get great value for a three-year starter who saw nothing but success at Georgia. Jake Fromm led the Bulldogs to three straight SEC Championship Games, winning one of them. Georgia made a National Championship Game appearance during Fromm’s freshman year. Now, Fromm will enter the NFL Draft in 2020 and […]

Eli Manning began the final stretch of his farewell tour as a New York Giant in Week 14. With Daniel Jones out due to an ankle injury, Manning stepped in to start against the Philadelphia Eagles. It was a tale of two halves for Manning and the Giants. They led 17-3 at halftime. Manning tossed […]
