The Washington Redskins are an absolute mess on both sides of the ball, but they have been particularly horrid on offense.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams has been sidelined for the last three games due to a toe injury, and while he is improving, he is not yet 100 percent.

The Atlanta Falcons are in a serious bind of uncertainty at 1-6 going into the halfway point of the season. They’re starved for answers and are scrambling to get everything back on track.

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate will be facing his former Detroit Lions club on Sunday, a team that traded him to the Philadelphia Eagles midway through last season. The Lions moved Tate because the two sides could not come to terms on a contract extension, but Tate is taking a positive approach and […]

The New England Patriots made a rather surprising move earlier this week, placing wide receiver Josh Gordon on the injured reserve list due to a knee injury. The thing is, it is believed that Gordon’s injury is not that severe, which makes the Patriots’ decision to put him on injured reserve peculiar. The move is […]

The Washington Redskins fell to 1-7 after their loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night, their latest defeat in what has been a disastrous season in the D.C. area.

The production of Pro Bowl tight end Jimmy Graham has taken a dip recently. At the start of the 2019 season, he wanted to “shut a lot of people up.” After a 2018 campaign in which he came away with 55 catches for 636 yards and two touchdowns, he hasn’t done too much to end […]

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen is expected to return when the Vikings take on the Kansas City Chiefs next week, according to Chris Tomasson of The St. Paul Pioneer Press.

The Los Angeles Rams are hungry to win football games. They’re currently situated in third in the NFC West, but it’d be foolish for any team to easily count them out of making the playoffs. They managed to retain most of their core and are still a nightmare to face if they get their act […]

Fresh off their bye week, the Cleveland Browns head to Foxborough to face the undefeated New England Patriots, and the season, which began with so much hype, has not gone as planned for Cleveland. They are now 2-4, and have been blown out twice. Baker Mayfield has just seven touchdown passes compared to a league-leading […]

The Washington Redskins are experiencing some dreadful offensive woes. After their 19-9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, the team has gone without a touchdown over nine straight quarters (touchdown pass by Case Keenum to Terry McLaurin). And to add on to illustrate how awful the lack of production is for the Redskins, the Washington Nationals […]

It has been an unpredictable year in football, in part due to road teams enjoying unprecedented success. Road teams are winning 56.2 percent (59-46-1) of all contests, the best mark for visiting clubs through seven weeks of NFL action since 1984. Before Week 8 of the NFL season begins, let’s kick it off with three […]

It wasn’t long ago that there was talk about wide receiver Stefon Diggs potentially wanting to be traded by the Minnesota Vikings. Since then, he has put together some very impressive performances. Over his last three performances, Diggs has managed to total 453 receiving yards and that is the most receiving yards within a three-game […]

The Minnesota Vikings have been on a four-game winning streak since starting the season with a 2-2 record. A key reason for their recent success has been the play of Kirk Cousins. After the Vikings’ 19-9 win over the Washington Redskins on Thursday Night Football, head coach Mike Zimmer highlighted the individual contributions that Cousins […]

The Chicago Bears have been one of the NFL’s biggest disappointments to date. They made their way to a wild card berth last year before the infamous ‘Double-Doink’ knocked Matt Nagy and Co. out of the playoffs. Heading into 2019, expectations were an NFC North title, at the very least. As of now, the Bears […]

The Minnesota Vikings’ offense put together a solid performance in their 19-9 win over the Washington Redskins on Thursday Night Football.

Cousins concluded his performance by completing 23 of his 26 pass attempts, resulting in an 88.5 percent completion percentage and 285 […]

The Washington Redskins’ matchup with the Minnesota Vikings provided a homecoming for running back Adrian Peterson. It is only fitting that he managed to make history in front of a familiar crowd. Peterson has managed to join some elite company after passing Hall of Famers Jerome Bettis and LaDainian Tomlinson on the NFL’s all-time rushing […]

The Green Bay Packers look like they’re playoff-bound at this point with the way they’ve been playing. However, every team wants to have depth in important positions. The wide receiver position is a position that they have good talent in, but additional depth could spell the difference between a Super Bowl title and another disappointing […]

The Dallas Cowboys made a very New England Patriots-like acquisition on Thursday. Surprisingly, the team they made the swap with was the Pats themselves. Dallas dealt away a conditional seventh-round pick for pass-rusher Michael Bennett. At first look, this isn’t a particularly good trade for either team. Bennett played just 30% of New England’s defensive […]

The Washington Redskins did a solid job of staying within striking distance during the first half of their showdown against the Minnesota Vikings. Unfortunately, it appears they have been forced to make some significant changes under center. According to ESPN’s Courtney Cronin, quarterback Dwayne Haskins is slated to start the second half with quarterback Case […]

The NFL has been experiencing a tight end deficiency in recent years. The amount of quality, league-ready tight ends have taken a dive in the last five years, due mostly to the spread offenses implemented in college offenses. These schemes essentially turn the position into a big wide receiver, making complete tight ends harder and […]

The Minnesota Vikings struggled to get anything going on offense early in their Week 8 matchup against the Washington Redskins. Fortunately, running back Dalvin Cook has been able to make his presence felt. Cook was able to help secure a 13-6 lead going into halftime with a four-yard touchdown run, via NFL Twitter: This @dalvincook […]

The New York Jets just can’t seem to catch a break.

Celebrity relationships are often tricky. They seem liable to end at just about any time. It seems Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey is no exception. News recently broke that Ramsey had ended things with his pregnant girlfriend Breanna Tate. Ms. Tate is coincidentally the sister of New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate. Golden […]

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore is an institution. He currently has the fourth-most rushing yards in history, behind all-time greats Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, and Walter Payton. Throughout his career, Gore has certainly made an impression on his teammates. Former San Fransisco 49ers guard Alex Boone spoke out about Gore when he appeared on […]

Adrian Peterson will face his former team in the Minnesota Vikings On Thursday night, but one of his former teammates didn’t appear to be a fan of his. While speaking on the Purple Daily podcast, Alex Boone absolutely ripped Peterson for how he acted in Minnesota. “Adrian Peterson to me was the definition of why […]

The Los Angeles Chargers didn’t envision their season going the way it has and the last thing they need is an injury to one of their key contributors.

The Denver Broncos are 2-5 to begin the season, and Von Miller hasn’t been getting the sack numbers that he’s accustomed to. Despite the early struggles, Miller is ready to ‘get spicy‘ to spurn his sacking woes. I am rushing hard, trying to get there, getting pressure, getting close, but just not making that play,” Miller […]

The Oakland Raiders are preparing for the Houston Texans in Week 8 and they’ve been doing so without Josh Jacobs.

Last week, during Oakland’s game against the Green Bay Packers, Jacobs had to go to the locker room to get his […]

Cleveland Browns’ Jarvis Landry attempted to backtrack his comments that guaranteed a win over the New England Patriots on Sunday, but it appears he was too late.
