NFL Week 5 ended with several teams exhibiting their mettle (like the Jacksonville Jaguars), while others showed that they weren’t quite ready for the limelight. Additionally, injuries (such as J.J. Watt’s) struck a number of the game’s biggest stars. Here is a look at the highs and lows from Week 5 of the NFL season: […]

Include Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger into the group of J.J. Watt, Odell Beckham Jr., the still-winless clubs of New York Giants and Cleveland Browns as among those that didn’t have a very good Sunday.

One team that many thought would be able […]

The debate prior to the NFL season was that whether the New England Patriots could go undefeated in the 2017 campaign.

The Kansas City Chiefs didn’t just dash the hopes of the Washington Redskins to extend their win streak on Monday.

Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins made a mincemeat of the Oakland Raiders on Sunday and pocketed a 27-10 victory for their second win of the season.

LeGarrette Blount thought that the Philadelphia Eagles signed him in the offseason to help the team boost its rushing attack.

The quarterback market has been at an all-time high lately. Finding quality quarterbacks is so difficult; anybody with mild success will warrant a high draft pick.

Julio Jones is well on his way to having three consecutive seasons with at least 1,500 receiving yards. He’s unlikely to match last year’s insane total of 1,871 (a career high), but at his current pace (a league-leading 1,140 yards), he’ll compile 1,658. For his entire career, coaches have dedicated a significant portion of their […]
