The San Francisco 49ers cruised past the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14 to move into the top seed in the NFC playoff picture, and with each passing week, their defense is getting stronger and stronger.

The New England Patriots opened Week 14’s action on Thursday Night Football with a 21-18 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers to push their record to 3-10 on the season.

The Houston Texans already suffered a pretty significant blow to their offense this past week after it was revealed Tank Dell would miss the rest of the season with a fractured fibula.

With a 7-5 record, the Cleveland Browns are currently holding onto the fifth seed in the AFC playoff picture heading into their Week 14 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

There are a lot of talented baseball players making the jump to the MLB this offseason from Japan, and it sounds like another player wants to join that club in Roki Sasaki.

The Houston Rockets picked up a surprising upset victory over the Denver Nuggets on Friday night, registering a 114-106 victory over the defending champions.

UFC 296 is right around the corner, and the headlining fight of the night will pit Colby Covington against Leon Edwards. This fight unsurprisingly has a lot of hype surrounding it, and Covington’s recent shots at Edwards will surely only make this more enticing for fans who are looking to tune in. Covington and Edwards […]

The Washington Capitals have gotten off to a decent start this season, posting a 12-8-3 record through their first 23 games. The problem is that the Caps have lost their last three games, and they haven’t played particularly great in any of those losses. Thankfully, it looks like they could be set to get veteran […]

The Charlotte Hornets have a lot of potential on their roster, but to this point, they haven’t done much to showcase it this season, crawling out to a 7-13 record to start the new campaign. They did manage to get back in the win column on Friday night against the Toronto Raptors, though, and according […]

Friday afternoon was a hectic day for Shohei Ohtani, even though he didn’t actually do anything.

[…]

The New York Knicks have had a decent start to the 2023-24 campaign, although their 12-9 record currently only has them sitting in seventh place in the Eastern Conference. As always, there are an abundance of trade rumors swirling around the Knicks, and it looks like one guy who is drawing a lot of interest […]

While everyone was paying attention to the Juan Soto blockbuster trade on Wednesday night, Eduardo Rodriguez ended up flying under the radar and signed a four-year, $80 million deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. For a D-backs team fresh off an unexpected World Series appearance, adding another top starter in Rodriguez at a fairly reasonable price […]

The Washington Nationals are mired in a rebuild, but that doesn’t mean they can’t add some help on the free agent market this offseason. The Nationals aren’t going to be looking to dish out hundreds of millions of dollars for guys like Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, but instead, they will look to find high […]

The San Diego Padres 2023 campaign didn’t go according to plan, and as a result, they decided to complete a blockbuster trade sending Juan Soto to the New York Yankees less than two full seasons after they picked him up from the Washington Nationals. It certainly wasn’t what AJ Preller and company anticipated would happen […]

The Buffalo Bills have a must-win Week 14 contest with the Kansas City Chiefs on deck, and they are going to need all the help they can get if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive and walk away with a victory. Luckily, it looks like they could get a pair of players back […]

Not much has gone right for the Buffalo Bills this season, and they seemed to have taken another big hit when Von Miller was arrested in Dallas last week on domestic violence charges.

The Washington Commanders have not had the 2023 campaign that they were likely expecting, and some big changes could be getting made this upcoming offseason.

The Boston Red Sox could be in store for an explosive offseason, and they made their first big move of the Craig Breslow era on Tuesday night.

The Los Angeles Angels are doing everything they can to avoid losing two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani in free agency this offseason, but they ultimately may come up short in their quest to do so.

The St. Louis Cardinals have been busy early on this offseason as they attempt to bounce back from their ugly 2023 campaign, but their work isn’t done just yet.

The New England Patriots have only allowed their previous three opponents to score a combined 26 points oin them, and yet, they have managed to lose all three of those games. The Pats are arguably the worst team in the NFL this season, but they still have five more games to play before they can […]

The Buffalo Bills offense hasn’t exactly looked like they were expected to this season, and one guy who has felt that more than others is Leonard Fournette. Fournette was signed at the end of October to shore up the Bills running back depth, but he’s spent each game since his signing sitting on the sidelines […]

As is often the case with free agency in the MLB, teams are waiting for the biggest names to come off the board before targeting other players.

The New York Jets have quickly fallen out of the playoff race in the AFC thanks in large part to their awful quarterback play.

The Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys are battling for the top spot in the NFC East, but they also were battling for the signature of Shaquille Leonard over the past week. The Eagles have had a leg up on the Cowboys all season long, and they managed to come out on top in their pursuit […]

The Kansas City Chiefs suffered a surprising 27-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football in Week 13, pushing their record to 8-4 on the season.

The Cleveland Browns have had all sorts of problems at the quarterback position throughout the 2023 season, with Deshaun Watson, P.J. Walker, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson constantly rotating as the team’s quarterback. With Watson out for the season with a shoulder injury and Thompson-Robinson in concussion protocol, it looks like Cleveland is now going to turn […]

The Phoenix Suns were without Devin Booker and Bradley Beal for their battle with the Denver Nuggets, but still nearly managed to come out on top when all was said and done. That was thanks in large part to big games from Jusuf Nurkic (31 PTS, 6 REB, 2 AST, 13-22 FGM) and Kevin Durant […]

The Boston Celtics 125-119 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night was likely a closer contest than the team would have liked given that the Sixers were without Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, but a win is a win, and the Celtics pushed their record to an NBA-best 15-4. Of course, Jayson Tatum getting […]

The Toronto Raptors are one of a handful of NBA teams that seem to be stuck in the middle right now. The Raptors have a lot of talent on their roster, but they have only managed to pick up nine wins in their first 20 games. Head coach Darko Rajakovic is still figuring things out […]

The Dallas Mavericks have had a pretty solid start to the season, but losing to the downtrodden Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night 108-94 wasn’t exactly a great look.

The Chicago Bulls have had quite a disappointing start to their 2023-24 campaign, limping out to a 5-14 record over their first 19 games. Making matters worse, they are dealing with quite a few injuries as their losses begin to pile up, and it looks like Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan’s statuses are up in […]

The 2023 season hasn’t been a fantastic one for the Green Bay Packers, but after winning three of their past four games, it’s beginning to look like they could go on a late season run.
