The Kansas City Chiefs Week 17 win vs. the Denver Broncos wasn’t pretty.

The Philadelphia Eagles still own the best record in the NFC and are still on track for the first-seed playoff bye, but the past two weeks have put a damper on what has been such a strong season. Backup quarterback Gardner Minshew hasn’t been able to fill in the shoes of Jalen Hurts, who has […]

Justin Jefferson ran into a brick wall in Week 17, as he barely made an impact on the field in the Minnesota Vikings’ embarrassing 41-17 loss at Lambeau Field to the Green Bay Packers.

Against all expectations, the Pittsburgh Steelers remain in the thick of the playoff hunt following a crucial 16-13 win over the playoff-bound Baltimore Ravens, who were missing Lamar Jackson.

Tom Brady had a massive day in Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers to help the Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially wrap up the NFC South.

How do the Pittsburgh Steelers keep doing this? Every week, they seem to be on the verge of finally being knocked out of the playoff race. Mike Tomlin’s winning record streak will finally come to an end, everyone says. Yet, somehow, someway, Pittsburgh gets out of every week with their postseason dreams still intact. When […]

The Baltimore Ravens’ dreams of nabbing the AFC North crown are growing dimmer and dimmer. A backbreaking loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17 put them in a difficult position for Week 18.

The Baltimore Ravens have secured their slot in the NFL playoffs, but they did not help their chances to win the AFC North division when they suffered a collapse in a 16-13 home loss to Kenny Pickett and the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday night.

The Las Vegas Raiders made a big switch under center ahead of Week 17, with Derek Carr getting replaced by Jarrett Stidham.

FOXBOROUGH – The New England Patriots‘ defense continues to make history, and safety Kyle Dugger was at the center of it against the Miami Dolphins.

It’s been a long time since the Chicago Bears last won a game, but that’s not making quarterback Justin Fields lose his spirit. All he wants right now is to get his team a win before it’s all said and done for Chicago in the 2022 NFL season. The Bears suffered their ninth loss in […]

Miami Dolphins quarterback Teddy Bridgewater suffered a dislocated pinky on his right throwing hand during Sunday’s 23-21 loss to the New England Patriots after leaving the game in the third quarter.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still in this thing.

The 2022 Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t won a game when they were trailing by 10 points or more … until Week 17 against the Baltimore Ravens that is.

FOXBOROUGH – Jakobi Meyers stepped up in the clutch on Sunday. When the New England Patriots began their game-deciding with just under 10 minutes up and leading 16-14, they called on the reliable receiver’s number three times on third down.

After Kenny Pickett himself and his family (maybe?), Stephen A. Smith is probably the most hyped over the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback’s clutch touchdown to beat the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17. With the Steelers trailing the Ravens 13-9 with a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, Pickett got over his rough start and finally came […]

The NFC playoff picture is beginning to take shape after Week 17. There was a lot of shuffling in the standings, both at the top and at the bottom of the National Football Conference.

Derek Carr was benched this week and left the […]

The Las Vegas Raiders may have lost a close one to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17, but for Josh Jacobs, there are still some positive takeaways from the game.

The New York Jets had an impressive start to the season, holding a 6-3 record at the midway point. However, they are now out of playoff contention after a Week 17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

FOXBOROUGH – The New England Patriots went to their little-used second-round rookie right away in their 23-21 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.

The Detroit Lions enter the final week with an 8-8 record after a huge Week 17 win over the Chicago Bears. Rookie pass rushers Aidan Hutchinson and James Houston are a huge reason why.
