Despite Aaron Rodgers’ absence, the Green Bay Packers are still holding up in the NFC playoff race. At 5-4, the Packers still have a shot at reaching the postseason for the ninth consecutive year.

Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Richie Incognito isn’t exactly known to bring sane takes to the world of complex subjects. In fact, outside of being known as an outstanding player at his position, he’s most recognizable as the guy at the forefront of a bully scandal a few years back. And yet, here we are, with […]

Don’t worry Buffalo Bills fans. Running back LeSean McCoy is as confused as you are about the team benching quarterback Tyrod Taylor. “I think everybody was kind of surprised,” McCoy said to reporters. “Nobody really knew until today.

Yes. The NFL should be worried. No. It is still going to take a lot of time. However, with a report confirming that CTE has been confirmed within the skull of a live person, people need to start getting concerned. Oddly enough, add a dash of hope in that emotional cocktail as well. Pople who […]

The New Orleans Saints already have one of the most prolific passers in NFL history in Drew Brees. However, their surprising 7-2 success this season has been built more on their improved defense, as well as their incredible running back tandem of Mark Ingram and rookie Alvin Kamara. On the surface, everyone already realizes how […]

Jay Ajayi made quite a debut for his new team, the Philadelphia Eagles. The third-year running back had 77 yards on just eight carries, including a 46-yard run for a touchdown against the league-best Denver Broncos run defense in a 51-23 Eagles win. This has, apparently, set well with head coach Doug Pederson. After that […]

Where would the Seattle Seahawks be without their quarterback, Russell Wilson? Probably deeper in the standings and out of the playoff picture.

Letting a team down has been a field of specialty for Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis, but on Wednesday, he decided to call out one of his players for being a big disappointment.

Pittsburgh, […]

Usually, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles doesn’t play in NFL games where he is generally viewed as the better signal-caller, so we understand if he’s feeling a little bit high and mighty heading into his showdown with Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback, DeShone Kizer. When asked about his thought going into the matchup, Bortles offered some […]

The Dallas Cowboys’ defense has taken on two forms this season. With Sean Lee, they’ve stood their ground and helped the team rack up victories.

Jon Gruden coaching rumors are arguably the worst. As written here before, I continue to question why NFL and college teams would want a coach who has been out of the active coaching ranks for so long so badly. I am the exception to the rule, apparently. People can’t get enough of this stuff. Oddly […]

Many people were concerned for Jacoby Brissett after he took a brutal hit to the head.
