Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen did not exactly have a great rookie campaign this past season, throwing for 2,074 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions while completing just 52.8 percent of his passes and registering a passer rating of 67.9 in 11 starts. Obviously, part of Allen’s problem was accuracy, and the Bills understand that […]

The Atlanta Falcons are just a few seasons removed from becoming NFC Champions and making an appearance in the Super Bowl.

With the Falcons continuing […]

The New Orleans Saints finished the 2018-19 campaign as the runner-ups in the NFC behind only the Super Bowl-bound Los Angeles Rams.

The Arizona Cardinals are on the clock… As it stands today, the Cardinals own the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. However, with the NFC West franchise already selecting former UCLA Bruins quarterback Josh Rosen with their top pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, it is possible that Arizona trades away the […]

It has been several years since veteran NFL running back Adrian Peterson has suited up in purple and gold.

According to Mike DiRocco of ESPN, the Jaguars could […]

The Cleveland Browns are most definitely on the upswing.

The Pittsburgh Steelers managed to miss out on the NFL playoffs this past season, thanks in part to the tumultuous locker room atmosphere that continues to swirl to this day.

SiriusXM NFL’s Alex Marvez reported the […]

The Washington Redskins encountered quite the underwhelming and tumultuous campaign in 2018.

Keenum […]

That is not stopping Arians from speaking highly about what could be from his 25-year-old […]

Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan doesn’t think age matters when it comes to coaching in the NFL.
