Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen is making a significant step towards an eventual return to the field. According to Joseph Pherson of the Charlotte Observer, Olsen is set to begin practicing next week to see how his injured right foot will do after undergoing surgery. “I’m doing good. I’m starting to move around,” Olsen […]

The Arizona Cardinals return from a trip to London with some enervating news. Apart from taking a soul-crushing 33-0 beatdown at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams, they also saw quarterback Carson Palmer suffer a serious arm injury that puts his availability for the rest of the season in jeopardy. It was initially reported […]

The Oakland Raiders spent a first-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft to get cornerback Gareon Conley out of Ohio State in hopes of shoring up their defense against the pass. Unfortunately for the Raiders, Conley hasn’t been able to lend much help to the team, as a right shin injury has kept him away […]

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton has apologized for his disparaging comments regarding the offensive line’s play in the team’s 27-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, per ESPN’s Mike Wells. “First and foremost, I would like to apologize to the team and the O-line,” Hilton said. “It was out of character, frustrated how the game […]

The Denver Broncos used to have a defense that struck fears in the hearts of their opponents. Von Miller and company were not a team anyone in the NFL wanted to see on the other side of the football, but now that may be starting to change. Denver got off to a quick start in […]

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph confirmed Trevor Siemian would remain the team’s starting quarterback, according to the Associated Press’ Arnie Stapleton. Joseph believes the other members of the team, from coaches to the offensive line to skill position players, have to share the blame in not helping put Siemian in a position to succeed. […]

The Carolina Panthers are in a battle in the NFC South. The division title is up for grabs with all four teams in contention with Cam Newton and company trying to keep up with Drew Brees’ New Orleans Saints. Unfortunately for the Panthers, the team took a step back the last two weeks with consecutive […]

There has been a growing level of frustration spewing from Pittsburgh Steelers third-year wide receiver Martavis Bryant about his role in the offense. It has now led to Bryant now calling out of a mandatory team meeting on Monday morning, according to Ed Bouchette of Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Martavis Bryant did not show up for required […]

The 2017 NFL season has turned into a forgettable one for the New York Giants. The once-dominant force in the NFC has struggled from Week 1 onwards with Eli Manning and company looking like a team destined to miss the playoffs. With only one win on the season, the talk of benching veteran quarterback Eli […]

The Dallas Cowboys know that Ezekiel Elliott’s suspension is unavoidable at this point. America’s Team has gotten more out of Elliott than they thought was possible, but they may only have one more game with their star running back before he’s forced out. Owner Jerry Jones is very aware of Elliott’s pending suspension and knows […]

Last season, the Los Angeles Rams limped to the finish line with an interim head coach and an uncertain future. It didn’t take long for the team to find a new head coach in the post-Jeff Fisher era, however, with Sean McVay, formerly of the Washington Redskins, getting the nod. Seven games into his head […]

The Dallas Cowboys are coming off their best offensive performance thus far this season as they put up 40 points in the win over the lowly San Francisco 49ers. Although the Cowboys were firing on all cylinders offensively, the team did suffer a loss on Sunday with veteran kicker Dan Bailey going down with a […]

People had to keep celebrating it, so blame them. Longtime Cleveland Browns offensive lineman, and only reason to even care about the inept franchise, Joe Thomas is officially done for the season. “MRI reveals torn tricep tendon. Surgery soon. Tough break.” The franchise left tackle tweeted. Joe Thomas was taken out in the third quarter […]

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin shoved offensive line coach Tom Cable on Sunday. Now the talented, probably underrated receiver is apologizing for his actions. The shove came during the second quarter. Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said he told Cable to talk to Seattle’s offense on the sideline after it came off the field, […]

First-year Denver Broncos coach Vance Joseph started his head coaching career off well. Then, because no real quarterback, things have started to sour. On Sunday, the Broncos fell to the somewhat OK Los Angeles Chargers. Denver scored exactly as many points in that game as you did, and you aren’t even a team in the […]

Le’Veon Bell won’t be stopped. On Sunday, he had 35 carries for 134 yards and three receptions for 58 yards, including a 42-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter that was a highlight moment of the week type of dilly. On that latter play, Le’Veon Bell stiff-armed the poop out of a Cincinnati Bengals player. Let’s […]

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell had himself a great Sunday. He had 35 carries for 134 yards and three receptions for 58 yards, including a 42-yard catch-and-run in the second quarter. Oh, he is also angry at Cincinnati Bengals defensive standout Vontaze Burfict. “My fullback got kicked in the face. That’s just not football to […]

Martavis Bryant is apparently not too thrilled to be a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. According to a report by ESPN, the talented receiver would like to be traded and he would like that to happen sooner rather than later. “He wants out,” a source close to Bryant said to ESPN. “Point blank.” Um… yikes! […]

Fog is, at least apparently, a rather polarizing topic. Just ask New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones, as the two had different opinions on the heavy fog that settled in when the two teams played on Sunday. Julio Jones doesn’t let a silly little thing like weather bother him: […]

Indianapolis Colts safety Malik Hooker was having himself an outstanding rookie season. Then, because life is evil, it was cut short on Sunday. According to multiple reports, Hooker suffered a torn ACL and MCL and is done for the year. Malik Hooker took to the mean streets of Twitter to address the injury: https://twitter.com/MalikHooker24/status/922294507936284677 Hooker, a […]

When the Miami Dolphins signed then retired quarterback Jay Cutler, people were a bit perplexed. Not only due to the fact that a leopard rarely changes the spots on its coat that late in life, but because Cutler can never finish a season standing upright. Basically, Jay Cutler has a habit of both throwing the […]

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller has become the second-fasted player to ever record 80 sacks in the history of the National Football League. Tickle no one shocked and do not call them Nancy. Von Miller has been an electric, elite pass rusher the moment he entered the league. The only shocking part about him getting […]

The Dallas Cowboys really need Ezekiel Elliott to help be competitive in a dangerous NFC East division. At the same time, it could be argued that whatever playing time Elliott is to miss is the player’s own doing. There’s more to it than that, as one could argue the allegations levied against Ezekiel Elliott trump anything that […]

The Green Bay Packers just aren’t the same without its starting signal-caller. There’s some potential good news on that front, though. Don’t count Aaron Rodgers’ chances of playing this season out just yet. In a report by Adam Schefter of ESPN, doctors have told the Green Bay Packers that in as little as just six […]

Cleveland Browns offensive lineman Joe Thomas saw his body break down before his team got a win this season. It ends a monumental streak Thomas had going as well. Thomas was taken out in the third quarter of the Browns’ matchup with the Tennessee Titans on Sunday with a triceps injury and never returned to […]

When Josh McCown darted an 18-yard pass to Roby Anderson in the second quarter of Sunday’s New York Jets vs Miami Dolphins game, the wide receiver didn’t just find the end zone — he also found himself one of the best seats in the house. Take a look at the footage below. Let the fact […]

The Arizona Cardinals’ trip to London on Sunday isn’t one they’ll fondly remember. Not only because of iffy play, but due to the fact Carson Palmer left with a broken arm. With a chance to win their first two games in a row this season, the Cardinals churned out a letdown performance in a 33-0 […]

The Cleveland Browns literally just reinserted DeShone Kizer back into being the team’s starting quarterback. On Sunday, because Browns, the rookie quarterback was once again benched by Hue Jackson. Cody Kessler was inserted in his place. Let’s make something abundantly clear about this benching: Whatever woes Cleveland has had on offense has almost no direct […]

Chicago Bears talent Eddie Jackson is not exactly a household name, but he sure as hell is trying to change that on Sunday. Without it yet being halftime (at least at the time of this posting), the Chicago Bears stud already has two touchdowns. Worth mentioning, Eddie Jackson plays defense — you know, the side […]

The Green Bay Packers might be down Aaron Rodgers, but another Aaron is trying like hell to help fill the void. Early in Green Bay’s opening drive on Sunday, Aaron Jones went 45 yards untouched to scored a touchdown against the New Orleans Saints. Here is the footage: El TD de Aaron Jones #GoPackGo46 yardas.https://t.co/GyMkiWbHj9 […]

Houston Texans rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson has done a relatively splendid job adjusting to the National Football League. Not too shabby when you consider the fact the Texans didn’t name him the starting QB to start the season. Deshaun Watson is now dominating something other than the gridiron. Through six weeks of the National Football League […]

The New York Jets is the home to tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, who had a NSFW way of describing the differences between what was happening last year as opposed to this season with the team. “It’s f—ing night and day. It’s not the same s–t at all,” tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins told The New York […]

Roger Goodell is whatever you want him to be. He is the NFL’s public lackey, taking the brunt of what owners really want. On the flip side, he could also just be some wacko who has done a poor job in his role since acquiring it. That he, and only he, is responsible for the […]

Joe Haden came to the Pittsburgh Steelers with little hoopla. The former Cleveland Browns cornerback was mostly an afterthought at that point, but things have managed to turn around quickly, as he’s becoming an important member of the Steelers team. Not only as a player. Joe Haden’s importance to the Steelers has as much to […]

During the preseason, Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Leonard Fournette said the National Football League was a bit slower — in terms of game-speed — than he expected. A few weeks into his first real season in the pros, and it appears the game caught up to him fast. Leonard Fournette is not expected to play […]

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank will unlikely be confused with a great philosopher or as a person good with creating outside-the-box thinking. According to Arthur Blank, the Falcons having their Super Bowl rematch with the New England Patriots this week isn’t something the team can’t use to create closure. Not because he believes his team […]

The New England Patriots are often discussed in terms only relative to Tom Brady. But there’s more parts on the roster that equate to the total sum of the Patriots. One of those is wide receiver Danny Amendola, who was once considered a talent injured far too often, but he is now claiming his best football […]

The Denver Broncos were forced to tinker with its roster this week, as injuries have made the franchise adjust on the fly. A direct result off all this tinkering was the release of defensive tackle Kyle Peko, who isn’t to be confused with Broncos starting nose tackle Domata Peko (they are cousins). https://twitter.com/MikeKlis/status/921812579818676224 Injuries have forced […]

New England Patriots defensive standout Dont’a Hightower has heard what people has had to say about the team’s defense. That, basically, the Patriots are lucky to have a dynamic offense, manned by the legendary Tom Brady, because the other side of the ball is rather inept. Dont’a Hightower has also had enough of that tomfoolery. “I […]
