The Bears face a crucial game in Week 9 as they travel to Cincinnati to face the explosive but defensively porous Bengals.

Matthew Stafford and the offense have ben humming and the defensive front is strong, covering […]

The Cincinnati Bengals took a 15-point lead into the fourth quarter against the previously winless New York Jets in Week 8. Joe Flacco led Cincinnati’s offense to a season-high 38 points. But it was not enough. New York came roaring back for the 39-38 win as the Bengals’ defense collapsed. Trey Hendrickson was forced to […]

The Chicago Bears have signed veteran defensive back CJ Gardner-Johnson, adding much-needed experience to a secondary decimated by injuries. The 27-year-old has already played for four teams since the end of last season, the Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Texans, Baltimore Ravens, and now the Bears. After winning Super Bowl LIX with Philadelphia, the team traded him […]

The New Orleans Saints’ season has officially gone off the rails. They are 1-7 following a 23-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Sunday.

The 2025 Las Vegas Raiders are playing like one of the worst teams in the NFL. They are 2-5 and have struggled to do much of anything well, especially on offense. There is a glimmer of hope for this offense as we prepare for Week 9 because Brock Bowers is back practicing. It remains to […]

The Minnesota Vikings are coming off a tough loss to the Los Angeles Chargers last Thursday night. Vikings quarterback Carson Wentz was playing the entire game in serious pain.

When news broke that Howie Roseman traded John Michie II and a sixth-round pick to the New York Jets to reunite Joe Douglas with former fifth-round pick Michael Carter II – plus a seventh-round pick – it got Philadelphia Eagles fans hyped.

The on-camera sidestep that sent Vikings fans into a tizzy last Thursday might have foreshadowed this: J.J. McCarthy looks ready to get back under center.

The Broncos got encouraging news on Patrick Surtain II after he exited the Cowboys win with a pectoral strain: tests ruled out a tear, and the star corner is considered week-to-week, a “solid” outcome that keeps Denver’s defensive ceiling intact.

NFL players have their highs and lows, and midway through the 2025-26 season is definitely a frustrating time for wide receiver Jauan Jennings of the San Francisco 49ers.

Purdy has […]

The Detroit Lions are in a good position to get back in the playoffs in 2025. Detroit is 5-2 coming out of their bye week and face a fairly winnable game against Minnesota in Week 9. But this game will not be a cake walk just because Detroit is favored to win. Just like last […]

Philadelphia’s latest secondary move zeroes in on role fit as much as need. Michael Carter II has primarily lived in the slot, where short-area quickness and communication are king, and that’s exactly where the Eagles have been patching snaps. The former Jets defensive back missed time earlier this month with a concussion, but the evaluation […]

Recently, the Cleveland Browns dropped to 2-6 on the young 2025 NFL season with a blowout road loss at the hands of the New England Patriots.
