The Green Bay Packers have been one of the most impressive defensive units in the NFL just one season after ranking 18th in total defense.

However, Packers linebacker Za’Darius Smith has […]

The Indianapolis Colts were supposed to be Super Bowl contenders this season.

At […]

This was the year for the Indianapolis Colts. They felt good about their team entering the season and were in line to make some serious noise.

There has been a lot of chatter about whether or not the Washington Redskins should go to Dwayne Haskins at quarterback after a miserable 31-15 loss to the Chicago Bears on Monday night put the team in an 0-3 hole.

The Denver Broncos have gotten off to an unenviable 0-3 start this season, and on Sunday, they will take on the suddenly revitalized Jacksonville Jaguars at home. To be fair to the Broncos, their schedule has not done them any favors early on, as they have played the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers in […]

The Washington Redskins sure are a roller coaster ride. Just yesterday it was announced that Colt McCoy would be practicing this week, but he isn’t ready to return to game action yet.

The Jacksonville Jaguars and cornerback Jalen Ramsey have made for some interesting storylines this year. While the team is struggling, Ramsey is still at the top of his game.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams did not practice on Wednesday due to a knee injury, according to Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk.

The Carolina Panthers were in desperate need of a spark after an 0-2 start. Cam Newton was inaccurate as usual through the first two games.

When a team loses their starting quarterback, they usually do not have a former Pro Bowl player as a backup. For the New Orleans Saints, that is their reality.

Is it hard to make judgments of the Green Bay Packers early on. Matt LaFleur is undefeated so far as a head coach, but he is hard to predict.

In March, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh stated that their division rival, the Cleveland Browns, contained more talent on their roster than anyone in that division. When asked about that statement today, Harbaugh walked it back a bit. Per Charean Williams of NBC Sports, Harbaugh told reporters that his answer was “an offseason question.” […]

The new-look Pittsburgh Steelers are now completely in play. There is no more Antonio Brown. JuJu Smith-Schuster is now the No. 1 receiver.

The New England Patriots are off to a fantastic 3-0 start. Not only are they winning, but they’re also dominating their opponents.

Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens took all the blame for Sunday night’s questionable play-calling during their final drive against the Los Angeles Rams, but he wasn’t going to let former NFL head coach Rex Ryan criticize his second-year quarterback.

In Week 4, the undefeated Los Angeles Rams will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in front of their home crowd at the LA Memorial Coliseum.

Most scrutiny related to the Philadelphia Eagles struggles over the first three games of the regular season concerns offense, but that’s not entirely fair.
