For the most part, Derek Carr has had a highly effective season quarterbacking the Las Vegas Raiders. His yardage totals aren’t prolific, but Carr has been dependable in the pocket. He has tossed 19 touchdown passes against three interceptions, with a completion percentage of nearly 70% and a QB rating of 104.9 — which would […]

The Cleveland Browns came away with a 27-25 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday behind quite a performance from Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry.

The 2020 NFL season hasn’t been what the San Francisco 49ers have expected, to say the least.

But, a lot […]

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill and dual-sports legend Bo Jackson share almost nothing in common. Hill is a diminutive wide receiver whose one and only profession is football.
