David Bakhtiari missed the Green Bay Packers’ Week 13 game against the Chicago Bears after he had to go through an appendectomy, and unfortunately for him, his absence could be longer. When Bakhtiari was ruled out for Sunday’s contest, the expectations were he would be able to make a quick return to the lineup. By […]

When the Philadelphia Eagles took the field against the Tennessee Titans in Week 13, it was supposed to serve as a measuring stick between two franchises with playoff aspirations. Both teams made it to the postseason last year, both have built their offensive identities around a strong running game, and, funny enough, both teams hold […]

Mike White continues to receive praise from his teammates, but coach Robert Saleh is still saying that Zach Wilson will be back on the field as the New York Jets quarterback before this season ends. “I’m still right there with that statement,” Saleh answered when asked Monday if the Jets will turn to the benched […]

With the season all but done for the Green Bay Packers, it’s hard not to imagine if Aaron Rodgers is now playing his last few games with the same team that drafted him some 17 years ago. The reigning back-to-back league MVP is still under contract through 2023, but there’s no denying that retirement has […]

The Baltimore Ravens were dealt a crushing blow on Sunday as Lamar Jackson suffered a knee injury. Tyler Huntley managed to lead the team to a 10-9 win over the Denver Broncos, but it was still a worrisome sign to see Jackson go down. The early diagnosis for the star QB is a knee sprain, […]

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is as tough as they come, and it appears he avoided a serious injury after going down hard on the final snap of the first half against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Prayers up to Trevor Lawrence after he left the field due to an apparent knee injury on this […]

The New York Giants have been cooling off after an unexpectedly hot start to the 2022 season. After winning seven of their first nine games, the Giants had lost their last two contests heading into Week 13 against the Washington Commanders. While they didn’t lose to the Commanders, they also didn’t win, as the score […]

The 2022 season is pretty much over for the Los Angeles Rams at this point, and it’s no surprise that people in the organization are already beginning to look towards 2023. One player who doesn’t really have any choice but to look ahead to the 2023 season is quarterback Matthew Stafford. Stafford was placed on […]

Ja’Marr Chase is a firm believer in Joe Burrow’s 2022 MVP candidacy, per NFL on Twitter. “He (Burrow) should be in the MVP race,” Chase said. “If he’s not in it, he should be. #1 quarterback in the race.” Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals defeated Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs 27-24 on […]

The New England Patriots offense has taken a huge step back in year two of the Mac Jones era, and many fans are beginning to point their fingers at Matt Patricia, who is the Pats new offensive play caller this season. With the offense struggling again in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills, calls for […]

The Las Vegas Raiders Week 13 win over their AFC West rival Los Angeles Chargers makes it three-straight wins for the once-left-for-dead Silver and Black. Now that the team is streaking, it’s time for some Raiders overreactions, baby! Davante Adams is the best wide receiver in the NFL, Josh Jacobs is the MVP, and the […]

Don’t look now, but Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions are roaring their way back into playoff contention. It seemed as if their postseason dreams died the moment they hit a 1-6 record. Since then, though, Detroit has won four of their five games, putting them squarely in contention for a potential Wild Card spot […]

It’s been quite the whirlwind season for former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield — from Cleveland Browns’ starter to Carolina Panthers’ starter, to Panthers’ backup, to waivers, all in a span of five months. After requesting a trade out of Cleveland, Mayfield has had an abysmal season with his new squad, going 1-5 and […]

The Los Angeles Chargers haven’t had the 2022 season they were hoping to have, but they still had a great shot at making the playoffs heading into Week 13. After their 27-20 loss at the hands of the Las Vegas Raiders, though, those playoff chances have taken a huge hit heading into the final five […]

In a not-so-shocking turn of events, Baker Mayfield has been released by the Carolina Panthers. The quarterback has struggled to find consistent production with his new team, yes. However, it’s still a bit surprising for a team to cut bait with a player they traded for before the season started. As you can expect, everyone […]

The Seattle Seahawks absolutely needed to beat the Los Angeles Rams in Week 13 if they wanted to stay in the playoff hunt over the remainder of the season. It was certainly a bit closer than initially expected, but the Seahawks managed to get the win in the end, pulling out a 27-23 victory over […]

Derrick Henry rarely has a bad game because it doesn’t happen always that the opposing team finds success in slowing him down. As a freight train masquerading as an NFL running back, Henry has always gotten his way on the field, but that was just not the case on Sunday when the Tennessee Titans lost […]

The Dallas Cowboys’ Week 13 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts was a tense, nail-biter… for three quarters. Then, in the fourth quarter, the Cowboys absolutely exploded, putting up 33 points and turning the game from a 21-19 contest to a 54-19 laugher. After the incredible late-game outburst in this Cowboys-Colts game, let’s take a look […]

The Carolina Panthers made the stunning decision to release Baker Mayfield on Monday, ending his short-lived tenure with the team. Mayfield had only joined the Panthers this offseason, but after Carolina’s bye in Week 13, the two sides have agreed to part ways. Reports indicate it was a mutual decision between the two parties after […]

The Dallas Cowboys are riding high after a huge win over the Indianapolis Colts. Now, they’re turning their attention to free agent Odell Beckham Jr., who they are hosting for a meeting as he looks for a new home. The Cowboys want OBJ badly as he decides between them, the New York Giants and Buffalo […]

Los Angeles Rams star pass-rusher Bobby Wagner had his first chance to face his former team, the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. While he still has love for the organization, things didn’t exactly end all that well as they decided to not bring him back in order to free up cap space. Needless to say, Wagner […]

The Washington Commanders had a great opportunity to cement themselves as a legit playoff contender in the NFC this season in Week 13 against their division rival in the New York Giants. Instead, the two sides reached a stalemate, and it resulted in both teams walking away with a tie, as the final score settled […]

When the Dallas Cowboys offense took the field for the first time in Week 13, fans noticed a noticeable absence: Ezekiel Elliott. For the longest time, Zeke has been the starter for the team through thick and thin. That’s why it was surprising that Tony Pollard started over Elliott, especially considering Jerry Jones’ hard stance […]

The Kansas City Chiefs had every opportunity to win their Week 13 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. After a touchdown drive by Cincy, Patrick Mahomes drove the offense to their opponent’s 40-yard line. Facing a 4th-and-5 situation, Andy Reid elected to try a 55-yard FG by Harrison Butker. Shortly after, Mahomes was seen slamming his […]

The Los Angeles Chargers have endured a mediocre 2022 season. Inconsistency has plagued them throughout the campaign, as they were recently defeated 27-20 by the Las Vegas Raiders. Safety Derwin James made a brutally honest statement following the loss, per NBC’s Pro Football Talk. “We gotta keep playing,” James said, via the Los Angeles Times. “There’s […]

Well, that’s something we didn’t expect. In another twist to their awful season, the Carolina Panthers are set to release Baker Mayfield, according to Ian Rapoport. Mayfield was traded to the team during the offseason, but he struggled mightily for the team when he started for them. Sources: The #Panthers are expected to release QB […]

Don’t look now, but Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals are on the rise. If there were any doubts about how legitimate the Bengals were after defeating consecutively the Carolina Panthers, Pittsburgh Panthers, and Tennessee Titans, Cincinnati’s put most of those to sleep with a massive 27-24 win at home over the Kansas City Chiefs […]

The Minnesota Vikings strange winning ways continued in Week 13 with their victory over the New York Jets. The Vikings never like to make things easy for themselves, and barely managed to pull out a 27-22 victory over the Jets. Minnesota’s record on the season is now 10-2, but they always seem to find a […]

There is no quit in the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their hopes to make the 2022 NFL playoffs might be dim, but they’re mathematically still in contention to join the postseason fray. For Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson, the goal is to win all the games remaining on his team’s schedule in the regular season (h/t Matt […]

The Cincinnati Bengals Week 13 matchup with the Kanas City Chiefs was a rematch of last year’s AFC Championship Game between two of the current best teams in the AFC. It was also a matchup of two of the best quarterbacks in the leagues with Joe Burrow vs. Patrick Mahomes. Cincinnati came away with a […]

It’s not everyday that the reigning “Mr. Irrelevant” will get to start for an NFL team, but here we are. After Jimmy Garoppolo’s season ended with a foot injury, the San Francisco 49ers are turning to Brock Purdy to lead the team. Purdy was the final pick of the 2022 draft, and is the third-string […]

Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings got the better of the New York Jets Sunday,  but that did not hinder Jets cornerback DJ Reed from talking some junk after the game. Reed saw himself matched up on numerous occasions in the contest against Jefferson, who would later hit back at Reed after seeing Reed’s postgame […]

Not much has gone right for the Pittsburgh Steelers this season, but they are in the middle of their best stretch of football of the season. Their latest outing, a tough 19-16 win over the Atlanta Falcons, was their third win in the last four games, and has pushed their record to 5-7 on the […]

The Miami Dolphins saw their five-game winning streak snapped after they lost to the San Francisco 49ers, 33-17, on the road in Week 13 of the 2022 NFL season. This was also Miami’s first loss this season with Tua Tagovailoa as their starting quarterback. The Dolphins are now 8-4, sitting in second place in the […]

The New England Patriots have been a bit… unremarkable this season. Their offense, in particular, ranges from uninspiring to rage-inducing from week to week. Head coach Bill Belichick and coordinator Matt Patricia has caught a lot of flak for the way they have run the New England offense. Now, a certain Hall of Fame QB […]

The Indianapolis Colts had a real chance to steal a win against a good Dallas Cowboys team. Then, the fourth quarter began and everything went wrong for Jeff Saturday’s squad. The Colts’ two-point deficit ballooned into a 35-point defeat thanks to four turnovers (three of which came from Matt Ryan) that each led to Dallas […]

Deebo Samuel fired the ultimate response to Raheem Mostert after the veteran running back recently claimed that the Miami Dolphins have better talent compared to the San Francisco 49ers. For those who missed it, Mostert went viral recently for appearing to take a shot at Jimmy Garoppolo and San Francisco, where he spent six years […]

The San Francisco 49ers can’t catch a break at quarterback. With the latest frustrating news on Jimmy Garoppolo, the team sitting firmly within the playoff seedings with its 8-4 record is left searching for answers. But could one of those answers come in the form of a recovering Trey Lance? For those hoping to see […]

Patrick Mahomes admitted a lot of things didn’t go their way as the Kansas City Chiefs lost to Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals for the third straight time, but he emphasized that’s not the only reason they lost. The Chiefs bowed down to the Bengals, 27-24, in a rematch of last season’s AFC Championship […]
