After feeling that criticism from Thielen and then apologizing to him, Cousins seemed determined to […]

Offensive linemen are some of the toughest guys in the league.

Saying this season has been a struggle for the Denver Broncos would be an understatement.

It almost seems that hurdling a defender is commonplace in today’s NFL. However, it is still impressive when you see a 6’5, 256-pound tight end jump over another human being. Mark Andrews of the Baltimore Ravens has been one of Lamar Jackson’s favorite targets. With plays like this against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he might see […]

He might be the smallest guy on the field, but Marquise Brown is the Baltimore Ravens’ biggest receiving threat.

There is no way around it, without Davante Adams in the lineup the Green Bay Packers will be limited in what they can do offensively against the Dallas Cowboys. That said, they still have a guy named Aaron Rodgers who can make things happen with anyone he has on the field. Looking at last weeks […]

Since coming out of retirement, Jason Witten has been a solid piece for the Dallas Cowboys. Although he doesn’t look like the Hall of Fame tight end he once was and hasn’t really been all that productive, the Cowboys weren’t expecting him to return to 2010 Witten. This week’s matchup however, Witten will be needed […]

If someone were to ask you before the season started who would be the last undefeated NFC team heading into Week 5, very few would have said the San Francisco 49ers — not even Jimmy Garoppolo.

It is never a good sign when your two best receivers are disgruntled.

Although the season hasn’t exactly gotten off to the start […]

After suffering a close loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers don’t plan on dropping two in a row. The road to becoming 4-1 will not get any easier as they face a Dallas Cowboys team that is in a very similar position. With Davante Adams out for Sunday’s game, […]
