The Oakland Raiders weren’t supposed to lose to the New York Jets, no matter if they were playing in New Jersey or not. However, the harsh reality, for the Black Hole, is that they did just that, as the Jets surprised them in a 34-3 curb-stomping at MetLife. The Raiders played sloppy football in the […]

There was a pretty notable personnel move on the Washington Redskins in Week 12. At first, Josh Norman was inactive. Not long after that though, they decided to activate the cornerback, making Aaron Colvin inactive instead. However, Norman wasn’t in for the defense. Despite being their number one cornerback for most of the year, he […]

It was a great night for New York Jets fans as their team obliterated the visiting Oakland Raiders, and Sam Darnold was really feeling it. The second-year quarterback said he felt the atmosphere change during and after they overwhelmed the Raiders, 34-3. The team played good football on both sides of the field as Derek […]

Yards are not easy to come by in Foxborough. They are harder to get against a No. 1 ranked New England Patriots defense. Add poor, rainy conditions to the mix, and they are nearly impossible. Luckily, in their Week 12 tilt with the Patriots, the Dallas Cowboys found a method to move the chains. Pass […]

The New York Jets enjoyed a dominant performance against the Oakland Raiders as they won by a comfortable 34-3 margin. However, Jamal Adams was far from happy with how Raiders fans treated the team the entire game. Fans clad in black and silver didn’t hide their disdain for the Jets as they made their run […]

Like DeAndre Hopkins (who only fears god), the Seattle Seahawks fear nothing. After beating the Philadelphia Eagles 17-9 in South Philly, quarterback Russell Wilson made that clear. On the Seahawks being 9-2, Wilson shares what his team fears (hint: it’s nothing). “We don’t fear anything, don’t fear any situations,” Wilson said, via Gregg Bell of […]

The Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars were in a pretty tight game in the third quarter of their Week 12 matchup. With the Titans up 14-3, it was still anyone’s game. Running back Derrick Henry changed that quickly though. It all started with a 74-yard touchdown run from Henry. Then the Jaguars fumbled the kickoff. […]

Let’s compare Le’Veon Bell of the New York Jets to a rising running back in the NFL. Start here: The Oakland Raiders selected running back Josh Jacobs in the first-round (24th overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft. In his rookie year, Jacobs has done more than impress, he’s flat out balled. The running back has […]

Though the Philadelphia Eagles dropped a game against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, tight end Zach Ertz left as a winner. At least, individually. In the loss, Ertz became the second-fastest tight end to ever reach 500 receptions, according to NFL Research. He did so in 102 games, just one game behind Kellen Winslow, who […]

A.J. Brown was jealous. After watching his Tennessee Titans teammates, Derrick Henry and Ryan Tannehill, gash the Jacksonville Jaguars’ defense with their legs, the rookie wide receiver must have felt as if he should be getting some points on the board with his. That’s exactly what he did. With 7:07 left in the third quarter […]

Jacksonville Jaguars’ ownership has changed. No longer does Shad Kahn own the team. The new owner lives in Nashville. His name? Derrick Henry. His occupation? Gash the Jaguars’ defense as a member of the Tennessee Titans. After a not-so-lively first half of play, the Titans woke up to get some more points on the board. […]

Dwayne Haskins got his first win as an NFL starter on Sunday. Naturally, the Washington Redskins rookie quarterback was excited. So excited, in fact, that he missed the game’s best formation: the victory, kneel-down one. Instead, Case Keenum filled in. Where was Haskins? Taking selfies. While Keenum took the duties of accepting a negative rush, […]

Carson Wentz has struggled against good teams as of late. With the Philadelphia Eagles’ 17-9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the books, the fourth-year quarterback is now 3-8 against winning teams over the past two seasons, according to ESPN Stats and Info. Wentz was 9-8 against winning teams in his first two seasons in […]

Mason Rudolph has become more known for his brawl with Myles Garrett than his abilities as a quarterback. And now that a new angle was added to the feud, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback adamantly defended himself against such allegations. During the appeal for the indefinite suspension he was hit with, Garrett accused Rudolph of slinging […]

Ryan Tannehill is the definition of sneaky athletic. Tannehill, the Tennessee Titans starting quarterback and former Texas A&M wide receiver, got the team’s Week 12 divisional tilt with the Jacksonville Jaguars going with a 21-yard touchdown run. Watch below. Tannehill drops back, rolls out, doesn’t find anything then turns on the burners. Rather than slide […]

Heading into their matchup with the New England Patriots, the Dallas Cowboys knew that a certain defender would be a problem. That defender being All-Pro cornerback Stephon Gilmore, who has been on a rampage as arguably the best corner in the NFL in 2019.

The referees hate the New Orleans Saints. In the Saints’ 34-31 win over the Carolina Panthers, the officiating crew on the scene gave the home crowd a cruel reminder of the NFC Championship no-call defensive pass interference.

The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals, 16-10, on Sunday to keep their playoff hopes in the AFC alive.

The New Orleans Saints continue to find themselves in situations when the referees become a difference-maker.
