The wins and losses don’t count just yet in the NFL preseason, but the hits don’t hurt any less than an actual game.

The Minnesota Vikings Came to town to go to battle with the Las Vegas Raiders. Sunday was a great day, especially if you find yourself rooting for the Silver and Black.

The Dallas Cowboys have a problem with their wide receiving corps, but despite that, signing Antonio Brown is a move they should definitely avoid. Dallas will once again look to make it THE year.

Los Angeles Lakers team owner Jeanie Buss recently made a guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and it was an opportunity for her to talk about other things aside from her team’s rather unproductive offseason. Well, not really. During her interview, which was done by fill-in host Desus Nice, Buss was asked about the weirdest thing […]

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has been picked by many experts around the league to be a breakout player in 2022.

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald is without a doubt one of the best players in the game today. It’s also true that he was integral in the Rams’ Super Bowl conquest last season. At this point, however, despite his willingness to commit his future to the Rams, it remains unclear if the eight-time […]

The New England Patriots dominated the AFC East for 18 seasons but Tom Brady’s departure from the Patriots in 2020 created a power vacuum.

The Dallas Cowboys’ first preseason game of the year left a lot to be desired. The secondary got shredded by Josh Johnson and the rest of Denver Broncos backup wideouts.

The Pittsburgh Steelers started their post-Ben Roethlisberger era with a solid 32-25 preseason win versus the Seattle Seahawks. The quarterback depth led by rookie Kenny Pickett went 26-37 for four touchdowns and zero interceptions.

FOXBOROUGH – Christian Barmore has arguably been the best player so far in Patriots training camp. The second-year defensive tackle has won many of his battles against New England’s offensive linemen in 1-on-1 drills, which Barmore said is his favorite thing about training camp. Barmore’s also played a role in the offensive line’s struggles in […]

The Kansas City Chiefs have reigned supreme over the AFC West for over half a decade. They have finished with the best record in the division for each of the last six seasons. At times, this Chiefs team has looked unbeatable. Quarterback Alex Smith was responsible for two of the team’s top finishes. Even with […]

The San Francisco 49ers’ first preseason game was largely successful. After beating the Green Bay Packers, 28-21, they also avoided serious injuries. In addition, there weren’t many below-par performances. Still, there were a few 49ers players who noticeably struggled. This is quite important since these guys are still in the mix of the roster spot […]

The Seattle Seahawks have had quite the tumultuous offseason, highlighted by the trade of franchise cornerstone Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos.

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker had a storied collegiate career. Now he looks to make his mark in the NFL. He looked to be a solid ball carrier during his two seasons at Wake Forest. Once he arrived at Michigan State in 2021, he unlocked a new level of his game. In his […]

Antonio Brown’s time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have ended up in a messy way, but it looks like the veteran NFL wideout has moved on from the controversy.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have added a much-needed boost to their pass rush by signing a familiar face in Carl Nassib to a one-year contract, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed. The 29-year-old defensive end previously played two seasons with the Buccaneers (2018, 2019) after being claimed […]

With Jets quarterback Zach Wilson suffering a knee injury in New York’s preseason opener, that opens the door for backup passer Joe Flacco to potentially step into the starting lineup until the second-year starter is back under center. Wilson is reportedly expected to be out between two-to-four weeks, which could sideline him for the Jets’ […]

Los Angeles Rams fans were concerned following previous reports of quarterback Matthew Stafford’s elbow giving him trouble.

The New England Patriots’ offensive play-calling situation has been a big concern throughout the offseason and training camp; unfortunately, it seems head coach Bill Belichick still has no answer on who will take over the said duty.

The Los Angeles Rams will be without Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson for some time after the two were forced out of practice with injuries. In a rather concerning update from head coach Sean McVay, he noted that the two running backs are currently suffering from “soft tissue” injuries. With that, they will be unable […]

Bill Belichick is never one to hold back how he truly feels. In media interviews, Belichick does not opt for the crowd pleasing answer.

FOXBOROUGH — The New England Patriots hit the practice field again on Monday, their first practice since their preseason-opening loss to the New York Giants.

FOXBOROUGH — New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick made it clear that the team is going through a process in determining who calls the offensive plays after Matt Patricia and Joe Judge split those duties in Thursday’s preseason opener against the Giants.

While Odell Beckham Jr. continues to search for his next opportunity in the league, the talented wide receiver has been awfully supportive of his fellow NFL players via social media.
