The Washington Redskins are 0-2 in the 2019 preseason so far. However, they haven’t been all bad. You really can’t focus on record at all when it comes to the preseason. In fact, the year the Detroit Lions went 0-16 they were undefeated in the preseason. With that in mind, records don’t matter yet. It’s […]

The Washington Redskins fell to the Cincinnati Bengals by a final score of 23-13 in their second preseason game of 2019.

The New England Patriots got some great news and an absolutely huge boost recently when wide receiver Josh Gordon was reinstated.

Gordon possibly hasn’t passed his physical yet […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected wide receiver Diontae Johnson in the third-round (66th overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft.

Diontae Johnson missed the first […]

The Houston Texans and Detroit Lions squared off on Saturday in a preseason Week 2 matchup. Jerell Adams took center stage in the Texans’ 30-23 win.

The Los Angeles Rams traded up in the third-round of the 2019 NFL Draft to select running back Darrell Henderson. For a lot of people, this meant that Todd Gurley’s injury was clearly serious. However, there’s another glaring reason why they might have done this. Darrell Henderson is really good. In College at Memphis, Henderson […]

Jarrett Stidham did what he could in his second preseason game. The New England Patriots have the greatest quarterback of all time on their roster. Even if you don’t agree with that statement, you probably don’t think it’s much of a stretch. Of course, that quarterback is Tom Brady. However, he didn’t play on Saturday […]

It didn’t take long for Cleveland Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett to reach elite status in the NFL. He was the first-overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. That year, he picked up seven sacks in 11 games. Last season, he appeared in all 16 games and upped his numbers to 13.5 sacks and added […]

The biggest story surrounding the Indianapolis Colts this preseason has been Andrew Luck and his injury.

The Washington Redskins second preseason game of the year came on Thursday, against the Cincinnati Bengals at FedExField. Although they lost, it’s not always about the final score in the preseason.

The Dallas Cowboys and running back Ezekiel Elliott aren’t seeing eye-to-eye in regards to his contract, which is why Elliott is not with the team yet. Despite not being with the team, Elliott is apparently ready to go. Any worries about him being overweight or out of shape should be relieved substantially thanks to this […]

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is one of the greatest of all-time. There’s really no debating that at this point. When it’s all said and done, there will likely be a lot more people claiming he is the GOAT than not. Not only is Brady a great talent, he’s someone that is seen as a […]

The Arizona Cardinals drafted Larry Fitzgerald with the third overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. Not only has the wide receiver lived up to expectations, he’s somehow shattered them.

When the Los Angeles Rams signed Sean McVay to be their head coach, he was the youngest ever to be given that position in the NFL. Things have worked out brilliantly for the Rams.

The Los Angeles Rams found themselves just one win away from raising a Super Bowl trophy last season. Now they’ll be entering 2019 as one of the favorites to find themselves back in the biggest game of the year. A major reason for that is the ridiculously talented and loaded roster they have. That leaks […]

The Los Angeles Rams found themselves in the Super Bowl last season, but fell just short of winning the most prestigious title in football. Now they head into 2019 as one of the favorites to get back to the promised land. However, to do so they still have a long way to go. A much-overlooked […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers don’t have to worry about cuts for a few weeks – just like the rest of the NFL. However, apparently head coach Bruce Ariana doesn’t need to wait. He’s already got most of the cuts locked and loaded. According to Josh Alper of ProFootballTalk.com, Arians says it would be easy to […]

The Indianapolis Colts enjoyed a strong 2018 highlighted by the return of quarterback Andrew Luck. They managed to go 10-6 on the year, making the playoffs as a wild card team.

The New York Giants square off with the Chicago Bears on Friday for a preseason week 2 matchup. Although the Giants were one of the worst teams in the NFL last year (and lost Odell Beckham Jr. this offseason), there’s a lot to be excited about when it comes to their future. That was shown […]

Adrian Peterson is the running back for the Washington Redskins. You could see why he’d want their superstar left tackle back on the team. For now though, everyone has to deal with the fact that Trent Williams isn’t there. The Redskins have clearly prepared for the situation as they signed Donald Penn as a very […]

Anyone that’s been following the news lately knows about Antonio Brown and helmets. The Oakland Raiders wide receiver has taken issue to the fact that he can’t wear his old helmet. The NFL has a list of approved helmets, and his isn’t on that list. Even worse for him, he’s tried some of the approved […]

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is quickly emerging as one of the best in the NFL. With that, he’s become a fantastic fantasy football option as well. However, that doesn’t mean he’s the best option – and even he seems to feel that way. In a celebrity fantasy football draft for the “Fantasy Footballers” […]

The Arizona Cardinals hit the news on Sunday for something that happened late Saturday night. Sadly, it didn’t have anything to do with a preseason game.

The New England Patriots selected Chase Winovich in the third-round (77th overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft. Coming out of Michigan, the pass rusher brings absolute raw intensity to the field.

Houston Texans superstar DeAndre Hopkins is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. He uses his elite athleticism to get open and make catches most couldn’t.

The Oakland Raiders traded for wide receiver Antonio Brown this offseason knowing he’s been known to stir it up a little bit. That being said, they probably weren’t expecting all these issues over a helmet. That’s exactly what’s happening though. The NFL has a set list of approved helmets, and the one that Brown wears […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have an exciting wide receiver corps. That corps includes Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson, and Nelson Agholor. It also boasts Mack Hollins and rookie J.J. Arcega-Whiteside.

Nick Foles will forever be a legend in the city of Philadelphia. The quarterback filled-in for Carson Wentz and led the Philadelphia Eagles to a crazy Super Bowl run two years ago, helping the team win their first Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.

Once upon a time, Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson was a fantasy football superstar. In his rookie season (2015) Johnson scored eight rushing touchdowns (581 yards).

The Cincinnati Bengals had arguably the worst defense in the NFL last season. That included giving up the most yards (6,618) and averaging the third most points allowed per game (28.4).

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden seems to be high on quarterback Nathan Peterman. It’s something quite a few people have poked fun at, since Peterman has had two disastrous seasons in the NFL.
