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. Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe reacted strongly to this big play, calling […]

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. Pierce came into the job with only his head coaching experience coming from high school. On Tuesday, the last interim NFL […]

The Detroit Lions are coming off their bye week to take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. The Lions come in at 6-2, and star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson says the team does have a goal to win the NFC this season and get the No. 1 seed for the playoffs. Hutchinson spoke […]

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. Josh Allen and the Bills offense couldn’t move the ball effectively and consistently, and the banged-up Buffalo defense simply couldn’t stop Joe Burrow, […]

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. Despite the monumental struggles, the Jets QB insists he’s better than ever, and it’s frustrating that it’s not showing […]

The Cincinnati Bengals picked up a huge AFC win on Sunday Night Football in Week 9, beating the Buffalo Bills 24-18. However, it’s not all good news for Joe Burrow and company, as star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase may have picked up an injury that could even cost him a game. In the third quarter […]

The Baltimore Ravens got a Lamar Jackson injury scare during their 37-3 demolition of the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9. The MVP-candidate QB came up limping after a run and didn’t look 100 percent for the rest of the game. However, on Monday, head coach John Harbaugh eased Ravens fans’ fears with two words about […]

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 […]

The Cleveland Browns beat the Arizona Cardinals 27-0 in Week 9 but also suffered a major loss in the process. The latest Jedrick Willis injury update is that the Browns are going to be without their starting left tackle for a while. Reports out of Cleveland are that Willis has an MCL injury and is […]

The Miami Dolphins lost their Week 9 game in Frankfurt, Germany, to the Kansas City Chiefs 21-14.

The New York Giants dropped to 2-7 on the season after a Week 9 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, a team that fired its head coach just four days prior. Plus, the team lost quarterback Daniel Jones for the season with a torn ACL. For a team that made the postseason and won a […]

The Buffalo Bills lost to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9 because the Bengals were the far superior team. That said, the officiating in this Sunday Night Football game was bad, and the worst call came on a Josh Allen intentional grounding call right before halftime. After the game, the Bills QB said that call […]

The latest Green Bay Packers injury update isn’t great for a pair of defensive starters heading into the team’s Week 9 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. Linebacker Quay Walker and safety Rudy Ford are both questionable for the game. “Per Matt LaFleur, Rudy Ford (calf) and Quay Walker (groin) are questionable for Sunday vs. […]

Who are the Las Vegas Raiders players who should have been traded at the 2023 NFL trade deadline? How about Jimmy Garoppolo, Josh Jacobs, Hunter Renfrow, Davante Adams, and basically everyone not named Maxx Crosby? Ok, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but for a team that was just hours away from firing head […]

As the Miami Dolphins prepare to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in a Week 9 showdown over in Frankfurt, Germany, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel is taking his team’s 2023 success in stride. He told the media ahead of one of the most highly-anticipated NFL games of the season that win or lose, he’s […]

The person who will benefit the most from Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis firing head coach Josh McDaniels ahead of Week 9 might be wide receiver Hunter Renfrow. The Pro Bowl wide receiver regressed horribly under McDaniels, but now that the coach is out, Renfrow has a new lease on his football life, and […]

Las Vegas Raiders star wide receiver Davante Adams was brutally honest when it came to the head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler being fired ahead of the team’s Week 9 game against the New York Giants. While the All-Pro pass catcher wasn’t celebrating people losing their jobs, he did admit that he […]

The NFL Week 9 schedule kicked off with an intriguing young quarterback matchup with banged-up second-year signal-caller Kenny Pickett and the Pittsburgh Steelers taking on Week 8 sensation rookie Will Levis and the Tennessee Titans, with the Steelers pulling out another tight win. We wrap up the week on Monday with the should-be-better Los Angeles […]

Bill Belichick is undoubtedly one of the greatest head coaches in NFL history. That said, things may have run their course with Belichick at the helm of the New England Patriots. But while a parting of ways may be best for all involved, Pats owner Robert Kraft isn’t likely to fire his legendary coach. If […]

The New Orleans Saints have made a roster move after losing linebacker Jaylon Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders ahead of the team’s Week 9 matchup with the Chicago Bears.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and former New England Patriots QB Tom Brady were rivals back at the beginning of Allen’s NFL career and the end of Brady’s tenure in New England.

The Buffalo Bills are signing free agent Pro Bowl defensive tackle Linval Joseph to their 54-man roster for the remainder of the 2023 season. This move comes as the injuries continue to pile up on the defensive side of the ball for Buffalo. To make room for Joseph, the Bills put cornerback Kaiir Elam on […]

The Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis fired head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler in the middle of the night between Halloween and November 1. The firing was justified as the Raiders slipped to 3-5 on the season after an embarrassing Monday Night Football loss to the Detroit Lions, which dropped McDaniels […]

Paolo Banchero and the Orlando Magic lost 118-102 to the Los Angeles Clippers Tuesday night, and a big reason for that was Banchero struggling to score efficiently. After the game, the second-year Magic star acknowledged he’s struggling so far early in the season, but says he’s ultimately not concerned. “‘My main focus is trying to […]

The latest Ryan Tannehill injury update seems to confirm what most Tennessee Titans fans already knew. Head coach Mike Vrabel says it doesn’t look like his longtime starter will be able to answer the bell when the Titans take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9, so rookie sensation Will Levis will be the man […]

The Washington Commanders sent defensive end Montez Sweat to the Chicago Bears at the 2023 NFL trade deadline, and they might not be done yet.

The Las Vegas Raiders lost their second consecutive game in Week 8 to the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football, dropping the team to 3-5 on the season.

The Chicago Bears made a shocking NFL trade deadline move by dealing for Washington Commanders’ star pass rusher Montez Sweat. “Trade: Commanders and Bears have agreed to a trade that is expected to send DE Montez Sweat to the Chicago for a 2024 second-round pick, per sources,” ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported on Tuesday. […]

The Las Vegas Raiders are struggling after their 26-14 loss to the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football in Week 8. The Raiders offense has been especially bad, struggling to get two of the best offensive weapons in the league, running back Josh Jacobs and wide receiver Davante Adams, involved. After the loss, reporters asked […]

The New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks just pulled off the first major trade during the final 24 hours before the 2023 NFL trade deadline. The Leonard Williams trade may have been the first deadline deal this season, but it likely won’t be the last, maybe even for these teams. At 2-6, the Giants’ season […]

The Ryan Tannehill era as the Tennessee Titans starting quarterback is officially over and the Will Levis era is here after the rookie quarterback led his team to a 28-23 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8. This victory moved the Titans to 3-4 on the season and put them into a tie for […]

The Buffalo Bills are signing free-agent running back Leonard Fournette ahead of their huge Week 9 Sunday-night matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. “BREAKING: Leonard Fournette tells me he’s in Buffalo and is planning to sign with the #Bills today, pending a physical,” Bleacher Report NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported on Monday. “‘Playoff Lenny’ had nearly […]

Ahead of the Texas-BYU football game this weekend, Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian said he’d play both Maalik Murphy and Arch Manning at quarterback with starter Quinn Ewers out with an injury.

Duke basketball got some incredible news on Monday when top recruit Cooper Flagg committed to the Blue Devils over the UConn Huskies.

Two confounding teams kicked off the NFL Week 8 schedule when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took on the Buffalo Bills. While Josh Allen played well despite an injury, the Buccaneers still had a chance to win at the end, only to fall short on a wild Hail Mary attempt. In the other primetime matchups this […]

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill is officially out with an ankle injury for the team’s Week 8 game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow is firmly on the trade block as the October 31 NFL trade deadline approaches.
