The New Orleans Saints (4-10) may be out of the playoff picture, but late in the season, clarity at quarterback has become their most important objective.

Head coach Kellen Moore […]

The Seattle Seahawks (11-3) added a highly unusual entry to their record books with an ugly 18-16 win over the Indianapolis Colts (8-6) at Lumen Field in Week 15.

The Indianapolis Colts came up just short Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, falling 18-16 on a last-second field goal, but the result hardly told the full story.

With 1:04 left in the fourth quarter and the Cowboys only down by eight points, Reichard made sure that there would not be a miracle comeback with […]

The Green Bay Packers didn’t lose in Denver because the Broncos were invincible. They lost because once adversity hit, everything just crumbled. What began as a poised, confident road performance turned into a bruising reminder of how fragile margins can be in December. A nine-point second-half lead disappeared. Their offense sputtered, the defense collapsed, and […]

The Denver Broncos have spent much of the season fighting skepticism, but Sunday night delivered another emphatic statement.

Philip Rivers is back! In a shocking turn of events, the Indianapolis Colts brought back the 44-year-old veteran for one more game in the wake of their quarterback injuries. Rivers played decently, definitely way above what many expected from a mid-40s retired player playing in his first game in five years. Unfortunately, the Colts weren’t […]

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle saw a rare “diabolical” side of Brock Purdy Sunday. At least on the scrambling end versus the Tennessee Titans.

Philip Rivers didn’t hold back his thoughts following his return to the NFL in the Indianapolis Colts’ Week 15 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon.

The Washington Commanders’ 2025 season has unraveled quickly, and injuries have played a central role in the downturn.

The Kansas City Chiefs have been the dominant team in the AFC for a decade. Their run of success came to an end in Week 15 as they suffered a 16-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers at home. That loss left the Chiefs with a 6-8 record and it eliminated them from playoff consideration […]

The Dallas Cowboys caught the Minnesota Vikings sleeping, all thanks to Brandon Aubrey. Early in a tense Week 15 matchup, Dallas special teams coordinator John Fassel reached deep into the bag, and kicker Aubrey delivered one of the most unexpected moments of the game.

It has been a challenging campaign for Minnesota Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy, to say the least, and his ongoing struggles continued early against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on Sunday. McCarthy’s first throw of the primetime matchup was deflected by the Cowboys, with the ball going to Quinnen Williams. If that was a sign […]

Josh Allen may have just ripped the MVP narrative away from Drake Maye’s hands. The reigning MVP did it in spectacular fashion, too.

Well, this is not ideal for the Green Bay Packers. The Packers made a big splash this season by trading for former Dallas Cowboys star and All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons.

The Tennessee Titans haven’t had much to cheer about throughout the 2025.
