There is expected to be so much snow that the Packers organization […]

Having veterans who are experienced in the playoffs is pertinent for a team. That’s what the Philadelphia Eagles have in defensive back Malcolm Jenkins. Having been a part of two Super Bowl-winning teams in the New Orleans Saints in 2010 and the Eagles in 2018, the 32-year-old safety is providing all sorts of leadership to […]

Tom Brady certainly has his fair share of critics in the media, especially with his performance this season. One of his many consistent critics is Hall of Fame tight end and Undisputed’s Shannon Sharpe, who went on air to call out the New England Patriots’ quarterback.

The playoffs are Tom Brady’s time. With the 42-year-old quarterback going into his 17th season of making the playoffs as the New England Patriots’ starting quarterback, Brady has plenty more records to post up for himself. And it’s not just because of the possibility of him getting an unprecedented seventh Super Bowl win either. Here […]

It has been a strange season for Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum. From being the starting quarterback at the start of the season to having his head coach be fired midway through the season.

Minor injuries can have a serious weight on the performance of a player’s abilities in a season.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is looking to move past his cold return last week against the New York Jets after his four-week absence.

There’s plenty of frustration going on with the Cleveland Browns. From the dysfunction of the front office in sticking with their head coach who’s in over his head to high-profile players actively asking other teams to trade for them. And there are even the little things that offensive coordinator Todd Monken goes through, such as […]

Usually, in situations where the season is over for a team, they would play their younger players for them to gain experience. However, for head coach Brian Flores of the Miami Dolphins, he’s sticking with 37-year-old Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback over 22-year-old Josh Rosen. Fitzpatrick has started 11 regular-season games to Rosen’s three. And although […]

Rookie quarterback Will Grier will be making his first career start against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. He’ll be taking over for the team that he grew up rooting for as a kid, the Carolina Panthers, a dream for anyone at a young age. It comes after the Panthers chose to shut down 2015 MVP […]

Since the start of the 2019 season, opposing defenses have been unable to figure out how to defend quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Season-ending injuries are a terrible reality for players who are highly-touted draft picks.

The Chicago Bears came away with a 31-24 Thursday night win over the Dallas Cowboys. However, they are coming out of it with a serious loss of starting linebacker Roquan Smith. #Bears star LB Roquan Smith is feared to have torn his pec in last night’s win over the #Cowboys, sources say.

The New Orleans Saints seem to always have a trick up their sleeve with their offense.

The Detroit Lions are stuck with a 3-8-1 record after losing their annual Thanksgiving game. There’s plenty of blame to go around in the Motor City.

Los Angeles Rams wideout Robert Woods missed last week due to a personal matter. It’s something private and probably something he won’t discuss for some time either. However, he is very thankful to the Rams organization for giving him support during that time. “I just appreciate the Rams organization allowing me to deal with my […]

Number one receivers always enjoy having that complementary number two guy playing with them. Much like with Jerry Rice and John Taylor or Lynn Swann and John Stallworth, it helps to have that other option to take the pressure off of yourself. And that’s what DeAndre Hopkins has with Will Fuller. When Will Fuller came […]

Everyone has had a take on the situation on what had happened one week ago when Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett hit Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph over the head with his own helmet.

It was an unconvincing return from injury for Indianapolis Colts receiver TY Hilton. He hadn’t played a game since injuring his calf in a practice on October 30.

Not only has it been titled as […]

The game between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers took a bizarre turn at the end of the game.

It was instead about the actions of their 2016 first […]

The incident between Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph and Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett is the biggest talking point so far this season.

The end of the Thursday Night game between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers was a bit shaky for everyone aware of what happened. The biggest story for Cleveland wasn’t quarterback Baker Mayfield’s three-touchdown performance or how the defense forced four interceptions and four sacks in the 21-7 victory over Pittsburgh. Instead, it’s about the […]

It’s looking as if Sam Darnold is having a terrible sophomore slump. And it’s been a slump for the books. After an average performance in which his New York Jets lost to the Buffalo Bills in a close contest, he came down with mononucleosis. He missed the next four games before returning to a 0-4 […]

And Sanders is noticeably happier to be on his new team with his new quarterback. Especially […]

The San Francisco 49ers are coming off of a 28-25 win against the Arizona Cardinals helping their record reach 8-0.

[…]

The San Francisco 49ers are the hottest team in the league right now. And it shows with their impressive 8-0 start to the season. However, there is a very interesting statistic that can attribute how impressive this beginning to San Francisco’s season is. The 49ers are 8-0. That's the 2nd-best start in the Super Bowl […]

Teams are hoping to do everything in their power to make the trades necessary to get themselves to improve.
