They have the chance […]

The Los Angeles Chargers are in a state of transition—hopefully one for the better. The Chargers let go of head coach Brandon Staley in December after a 63-21 drubbing on national television by the Las Vegas Raiders en route to a disastrous 5-12 season. But they did hire former Michigan Wolverines and San Francisco 49ers […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are inevitable. For the third time in five seasons, the Chiefs are Super Bowl Champions, twice at the expense of the San Francisco 49ers. These were hardly the best version of the Chiefs that the NFL has seen seen either. During the regular season, Kansas City was ‘only’ 11-6 with a […]

The Washington Commanders are in a good place to begin their rebuild.
