The Baltimore Ravens are getting to the quarterback. Through three weeks of play, they lead the NFL in quarterback hits (29). However, their lack of depth — after losing Terrell Suggs and Za’Darius Smith to free agency — is all too apparent. The problem in Baltimore isn’t the starters. Starting weakside outside linebacker Matt Judon […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars just recently captured the team’s first win of the 2019-20 regular season with a Thursday evening win over the rival Tennessee Titans. However, the back-and-forth between the AFC South franchise and All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey continues to take centerstage in Jacksonville. After requesting a trade away from Jacksonville prior to the team’s […]

There’s a lot of new for the Cleveland Browns. New wide receiver, new sense of hope and a new head coach. That newness is all too apparent in their 1-2 win-loss record. Freddie Kitchens, the much-praised new head coach, is shouldering his fair share of the blame; for a good reason. On multiple instances, Cleveland […]

There was a ton of hype surrounding Baker Mayfield as a top-tier option in fantasy football in 2019. Instead, the confident quarterback has struggled as the Browns have fallen to 1-2 to begin the season. With that in mind, what should we expect from Mayfield in Week 4 versus the Baltimore Ravens? In the three […]

Ladies and gentlemen, we (reportedly) have a trade! According to a Tuesday evening report from Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Seattle Seahawks have agreed to trade tight end Nick Vannett to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Chicago Bears defensive lineman Akiem Hicks left Monday night’s 31-15 win over the Washington Redskins early with a knee injury. However, fret not: Chicago is not concerned about the injury. In optimistic Matt Nagy fashion, the Bears coach doesn’t believe Hicks is dealing with a serious injury. He said during Tuesday’s press conference: “I really […]

The Detroit Lions defeated the Philadelphia Eagles by the score of 27-24 on Sunday afternoon in the “City of Brotherly Love.” While Detroit’s recent surge and Philadelphia’s continued struggles immediately stood out following the Week 3 NFC clash, so did the game’s NFL officiating crew, unfortunately. It has since been uncovered that Sunday’s referees missed […]

The Washington Redskins were embarrassed on national television. They fell to 0-3 on the season after being beaten down by the Chicago Bears, 31-15. With yet another miserable season in the works, it is time for the Redskins to dismiss head coach Jay Gruden. Washington hired Gruden in 2014 to be its head coach after […]

Be advised: if you point your finger, Cameron Heyward, of the Pittsburgh Steelers, will break it. The Steelers are 0-3. With their winless record, the pointing of the fingers begins. Heyward makes it clear that no one in their locker room can point fingers or take the blame alone. Their slow start isn’t an individual […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t envision their season beginning the way it has. After Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, Vance McDonald’s arm was in a sling on Tuesday. Earlier in the offseason, the Steelers decided to let Jesse James walk in free agency. Following his departure from the team, Pittsburgh didn’t sufficiently fill his […]

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are fresh off of a 27-16 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday afternoon. With that win, the Packers moved to 3-0 on the young season.

The Cleveland Browns were without defensive backs Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams on Monday evening against the Los Angeles Rams, a game that the latter won by the score of 20-13.

The Green Bay Packers spent a boatload of money this offseason to improve their pass rush. Just three weeks into the season, their spending has paid dividends. Green Bay leads the NFL in defensive pressure percentage. According to Next Gen Stats, the Packers have gotten pressure on 39 percent of their snaps this season, after […]

Grit. Dee Ford has that. The San Francisco 49ers pass-rusher is dealing with a lingering knee injury that might require surgery in the offseason. Is that going to stop him from playing? N-O. Ford didn’t play the second half of the 49ers’  41-17 route of the Cincinnati Bengals as he aggravated the injury that gave […]

The Washington Redskins are 0-3, and 2019 first-round NFL Draft pick Dwayne Haskins has yet to see the field. Jay Gruden is getting questions about this, as he should. With the Redskins failing to remain competitive for the majority of the campaign thus far, veteran quarterback Case Keenum will probably not remain under center for […]

The Washington Redskins are 0-3, coming off of an ugly “Monday Night Football” loss and haven’t shown many signs of things getting better. As is the nature of the NFL, the head coach, Jay Gruden, is the man that should be feeling the heat on his seat. His job could be should be in jeopardy. […]

The Denver Broncos are living in a “world of suck,” as wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders put it on Sunday.

Despite a young roster and aging quarterback, Sanders believes Denver can compete, only if […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have been riddled with injuries on offense. They’ve gotten off to a 1-2 start this season. They need Carson Wentz to transcend their limitations. Nonetheless, the Eagles will have a quick turnaround as they prepare to face the undefeated Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football. The player who is set to […]

The San Francisco 49ers are 3-0, but are they any good? While they are undefeated, San Francisco’s opponents are a combined 1-8, as pointed out by a Sacramento Bee article. That article, which points to the 49ers’ lack of intimidating competition, essentially points to the questioning of how good the team is, despite being undefeated. […]

It is noticeable that a Hall of Fame quarterback nicknamed “The Gunslinger” is praising the poise and tranquility of a rookie quarterback making his starting debut. That is exactly what Brett Favre did, stating how impressed he was with Daniel Jones in a 32-31 comeback win for the New York Giants over the Tampa Bay […]

How does Jay Ajayi fit into this picture? Right when there seemed to be a spark of hope in New York with the surprisingly terrific debut of Daniel “Danny Dimes” Jones, Giants star running back Saquon Barkley went down with an ankle injury.

It seems that Jordan Reed’s status has been in question for years, as the Washington Redskins tight end has been dealing with concussion problems for the past few seasons.

The Seattle Seahawks had an enormous chance to go 3-0 with a win over the Drew Brees-less New Orleans Saints. Instead, they fell behind early and were not able to climb back in. They now sit at 2-1 preparing to take on a mediocre Arizona Cardinals’ team. Right now, the Seahawks are not the perfect […]

The 2019 NFL season has seen seven teams get off to a 3-0 start. However, it appears only the New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs, and Los Angeles Rams boast more than a 0.1 percent chance of staying undefeated through the rest of the year. The Patriots are the current favorites to go 16-0 following […]

After an exciting Monday night victory against the Washington Redskins, Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen gave his Instagram followers a little too much access inside the locker room, according to the New York Post. As Cohen placed his phone on the ground, he went live on Instagram but didn’t notice his teammate Kyle Long […]

One could argue that Carolina Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen looked as impressive as any other quarterback on Sunday. The sophomore signal-caller threw for four scores, making pinpoint throws that showed why he was a five-star recruit coming out of high school. With Cam Newton obviously still struggling with injuries and with the way Allen was […]

It looks like the Washington Redskins will be getting some extra quarterback help in practice this week. Veteran Colt McCoy is nearing a return and according to Charean Williams of ProFootballTalk.com, is expected to return to practice this week. The Redskins need quarterback help.

The Green Bay Packers are one of just a handful of teams that remain undefeated less than a month into the regular season.

But it’s not offense, LaFleur’s specialty, that’s driving his team’s success, or even the play franchise quarterback Aaron Rodgers. […]

The Green Bay Packers have managed to get off to a flawless start to the 2019 NFL season.

According to Matt Schneidman of The […]

The Washington Redskins are now 0-3 to start their 2019 NFL season, and many are beginning to question if Jay Gruden will remain with the team throughout the year.

The New York Giants were dealt a crucial blow with the ankle injury to running back Saquon Barkley in Week 3 of the 2019 NFL season. Barkley was initially expected to be out anywhere from 4-8 weeks while dealing with a high ankle sprain. Given the severity of the injury, many assumed the timetable for […]

We’re officially through three weeks of the NFL season. That means we’re through three weeks of the Fantasy Football season as well. For anyone that drafted Todd Gurley, you might be a little upset so far. A lot of people thought the Los Angeles Rams running back would take a step back this year. The […]

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has managed to pick where he left off during his MVP campaign in 2018 with a stellar start to the 2019 NFL season.

From Jared Cook to Darren Waller. In 2018, Cook totaled 68 catches for 896 yards and six touchdowns for the Oakland Raiders. Cook is now in New Orleans and the Raiders seem to have a new star tight end. Waller began his career with the Baltimore Ravens where he was not used that often. Last […]
