The Dallas Cowboys’ problem has never been offense. It’s always been about survival. The Cowboys can clearly score with anyone. Dak Prescott remains one of the league’s most productive passers. Even the offensive line, while evolving, still holds firm enough to move the football. Of course, this is not a seven-on-seven league. In 2025, the […]

The San Francisco 49ers don’t have a talent problem or a culture problem. They don’t even have a quarterback question anymore. What they have is a recurring postseason problem that keeps resurfacing when the competition stiffens and the trenches get violent. For years, the 49ers have built one of the league’s most explosive offenses. They’ve […]

With fewer than two dozen games remaining before the NBA postseason slate is set, the Atlanta Hawks are soldiering on despite a young roster logging heavy on-court miles.

The Colorado Avalanche could’ve rested on their laurels after a great start to the 2025-26 season, but a sputtering end to the pre-Olympic break has them changing some things around as soon as the trade freeze ends.

The Kansas City Chiefs are not used to this feeling. For a decade, the franchise operated from a position of inevitability. January football was assumed. Arrowhead was a fortress. Patrick Mahomes was the ultimate eraser of flaws. 2025, though, shattered that illusion. For the first time since 2014, the Chiefs missed the postseason, and the […]

The good news for the Tennessee Titans is that they have salary-cap space. And one free agent could give them a boost. However, when considering one free agent who would fix the Titans’ biggest flaw heading into the 2026 season, it’s not the guy some NFL observers have tabbed. Yes, receiver Alec Pierce would give […]

Of course, even champions have weaknesses. The defending champion Seattle Seahawks are no exception. When you lift the Lombardi Trophy, the league doesn’t give you a grace period. Rivals study you. They dissect you. They hunt the smallest cracks in your armor. Seattle’s 2025 run was historic, bordering on mythical. That said, even fairy tales […]

The Buffalo Bills head into offseason free agency with several needs, mostly on the defensive side of the ball. However, the team’s biggest flaw is its lack of a go-to wide receiver.

Any shortcomings mean […]

The Houston Texans are neither rebuilding nor ahead of schedule. They are bona fide contenders with a quarterback who could be among the long-term faces of the AFC.

The Cincinnati Bengals already have the offense. Now they need defensive backbone. For the better part of the last half-decade, Cincinnati has operated under a simple premise.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers need to restore their defensive identity. They do not need a full teardown. One move can do exactly that. They don’t need to reinvent their offense or panic about their quarterback situation. What they need is something far more specific and far more urgent. They need to instill fear. For years, […]

The Cleveland Browns don’t need a splashy skill-position star. They don’t need another headline-grabbing defensive addition. What they need is stability. Cleveland needs the kind that doesn’t show up in highlight reels but determines whether a season collapses or contends. Heading into 2026, Cleveland’s roster isn’t devoid of talent. Myles Garrett is still terrorizing quarterbacks. […]

The Washington Capitals were the best team in the Eastern Conference in 2024-25, but have not been as good this season.

With the NBA Playoffs long out of reach and NBA Draft lottery odds the only scoreboard that matters, Will Hardy has shifted his message to a young Utah Jazz roster. Forget rigid scripts.
