The Philadelphia Eagles managed to pull out a big 25-20 win over the New England Patriots in their Week 1 action, and a big reason why was because of Darius Slay. Slay had an interception that he returned for a touchdown in the first quarter, and was generally one of their better players on a […]

Although the Carolina Panthers were handed a decisive, 24-10 loss by the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon, there were some positives fans could glean from the first game of the season.

The Dallas Cowboys annihilated the New York Giants last night, 40-0. It was, far and away, the most lopsided score in Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season so far.

Jalen Hurts didn’t put up the mind-blowing numbers we’ve become accustomed to seeing in the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 1 matchup with the New England Patriots. But last year’s NFL MVP runner-up certainly did enough to help his team secure a win. "We're going to learn from our mistakes, I guarantee you that, and we're gonna continue […]

It’s hard to come up with many notes for the Dallas Cowboys after a historic Week 1 romp of the Giants on the road.

Taunting has become an unfortunate part of sports social media culture. Shielded by the protection of a screen, fans can be quite vicious in their critiques of athletes.

Aaron Rodgers might be gone, but the Chicago Bears-Green Bay Packers rivalry is alive and well. On Sunday, the Cheeseheads continued their domination of the Bears, beating them 38-20.

Brock Purdy entered the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 1 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers needing to answer several questions — for his team, for his fans, and for himself.

The Philadelphia Eagles opened their 2023 campaign with a 25-20 victory over the New England Patriots, but it wasn’t a particularly encouraging victory for the defending NFC champions.

The Seattle Seahawks were expected to come out on Sunday in their season opener and comfortably handle a Los Angeles Rams team that was missing their best receiver in Cooper Kupp. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the total opposite.
