In his fantastic Hall of Fame speech, Pittsburgh Steelers iconic safety Troy Polamalu said the biggest compliment a Steelers great can give a current player is “You could have played with us.” These six words mean that a current-day player is so good, so tough, and so impactful that he would have fit in any […]

The Chicago Bulls are getting hit with Zach LaVine trade rumors left and right. The All-Star guard is the team’s most valuable asset, and after a 4-7 start to the 2023-24 campaign, it’s time to start turning some of those assets into future draft picks for a complete rebuild. The Milwaukee Bucks should be one […]

This game left Buffalo at 6-6, with their playoff chances […]

The Buffalo Bills dropped to a disappointing 5-5 on the season after a brutal Monday Night Football loss in Week 10 to the Denver Broncos.

As the Los Angeles Rams get ready to come off their bye and take on their NFC West rival Seattle Seahawks in Week 11, the team got some great news on the Matthew Stafford injury update front. As of the Monday before next weekend’s slate, head coach Sean McVay fully expects his starting quarterback to […]

The New Orleans Saints lost a tough one in Week 10 to the Minnesota Vikings and could have lost several key players on both sides of the ball for even longer.

The Los Angeles Chargers lost a barn-burner in Week 10 to the Detroit Lions 41-38.

Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys whooped their once-rival New York Giants 49-17 in Week 10. That brings the aggregate Cowboys-Giants score to 89-17 on the season.

The NFL Week 10 slate started with a brutal matchup between the Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers on Thursday Night Football.

The Buffalo Bills Week 10 matchup with the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football is a crucial one for the team. This is as close to a must-win game as a team can have in the middle of the season as dropping to .500 could tank their playoff chances. With that in mind, here are […]

A professional footballer is lucky if they get to play with a generational player like Lionel Messi or Erling Haaland in their career. By definition, there aren’t many generational stars around at the same time, so many players don’t get that opportunity. For Argentina and Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez, fate gave him the chance […]

These days, it seems like everyone is weighing in on the Michigan football sign-stealing scandal and head coach Jim Harbaugh.

As the Michigan football sign-stealing scandal rages on, there is more drama building each day, both serious and ridiculous. Toward the latter end of that spectrum, it appears that the lawyers for head coach Jim Harbaugh blatantly ripped off a Michigan football fan’s blog post in a letter they sent to the Big Ten. On […]

For the Indianapolis Colts Week 10 matchup, they head across the Atlantic Ocean to square off against the New England Patriots at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Germany.

The Michigan football sign-stealing scandal continues to rage on, and the latest person to lash out at Jim Harbaugh and his program is Illinois head football coach Bret Bielema. “If something’s been going on off-campus like it’s been noted they were going to our games before we played that game last year, that’s sickening. It’s […]

Houston Texans rookie quarterback CJ Stroud is having a phenomenal season, making him the favorite to win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.

The Buffalo Bills are in a slump. They’ve lost three of their last five, and the New York Giants gave them everything they could handle a few weeks ago. The scariest part for Bills fans heading into Monday Night Football in Week 10 against the Denver Broncos is that the team, including head coach Sean […]

The Las Vegas Raiders dismantled the New York Giants in Week 9 30-6 under interim head coach Antonio Pierce. This win showed a lot about the 2023 Raiders as a team, but mostly, it illustrated just how incompetent fired head coach Josh McDaniels was. Raiders owner Mark Davis never should have hired McDaniels in the […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Tennessee Titans in Week 9, 20-16. However, the Steelers could have just as easily lost after wide receiver George Pickens’ touchdown was called back because the receiver failed to drag his toes in the end zone.

Las Vegas Raiders interim head coach Antonio Pierce got his first NFL victory in Week 9 after taking over for Josh McDaniels, coaching his team to a 30-6 blowout of the New York Giants.

The Buffalo Bills lost to the Cincinnati Bengals 24-18 on Sunday Night Football in Week 9, and despite the one-score final, the game was never really that close after it started 7-7.

The New York Jets wasted a stellar defensive performance on Monday Night Football in Week 9 because Zach Wilson and the offense couldn’t move the ball, and the team lost to the Los Angeles Chargers 27-6.

The Cincinnati Bengals picked up a huge AFC win on Sunday Night Football in Week 9, beating the Buffalo Bills 24-18.

The Baltimore Ravens got a Lamar Jackson injury scare during their 37-3 demolition of the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9.

New Minnesota Vikings quarterback Josh Dobbs wasn’t supposed to see the field in Week 9 vs. the Falcons. The QB who came over at the NFL trade deadline from the Arizona Cardinals would only get in the game in the somewhat unlikely case that rookie starter Jaren Hall got hurt and knocked out for the […]

The Atlanta Falcons lost a shocker in Week 9 to Joshua Dobbs and the Minnesota Vikings. One of the big talking points after the game was Falcons coach Arthur Smith and his usage (or lack thereof) of rookie running back Bijan Robinson. When asked about barely using the No. 8 overall pick, Smith didn’t really […]
