For the 2017 season, the league added an extra game to the NFL International Series, capping those events with the Week 11 clash between the […]

All things considered, Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden is content with having Kirk Cousins as his team’s field general. Having said that, Gruden gushed when talking about the second-year Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz as if he wanted the former No. 2 pick overall on his team. In an interview with Dave Zangaro of […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have dropped to a 2-3 record after suffering consecutive defeats to the New England Patriots and the Arizona Cardinals in the pasts two weeks.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Leonard Fournette has been an integral part of the relatively surprising success the team is having so far this season.

Much has been said about the lack of quality games in the NFL this season, with not one team emerging as a surefire Super Bowl contender just yet.

Odell Beckham Jr. signed a four-year deal with the New York Giants right after he was drafted by the team in 2014.

Without a doubt, the biggest story to come out of Week 6 is the likely season-ending shoulder injury sustained by Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Without Rodgers at the helm of the offense, the Packers are a mere shell of themselves. The 23-10 loss to the Vikings is actual evidence of that sentiment, as […]

New York Giants cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was suspended last week after a verbal spat with head coach Ben McAdoo before walking out of the team’s facility. Rodgers-Cromartie’s indefinite suspension has since been lifted, with the 31-year-old set to return to action this week. While there may be some concern regarding the growing unrest between the […]

The Cleveland Browns are having as much trouble trying to win games as pinpointing which quarterback they will turn to.

This was announced by Browns head coach Hue Jackson on Wednesday, […]

The wait for the anticipated return of Andrew Luck continues, as the former first-overall draft pick suffered another setback to his injury.

The Oakland Raiders are thirsty for a win, but ending a four-game skid as soon as this week might have just become a tougher task.

Many football fans would agree that this 2017 NFL season has not been as entertaining as expected. After six weeks of play, there’s not a single team that remains undefeated. The league’s perennial powerhouses, such as the Patriots, Steelers, Packers and Seahawks, haven’t been as dominant as they once were, either, and NFL ratings are […]

The Houston Texans are off to a strong start this season, and it’s not their defense this time around that’s been the winning formula. Without star defensive end J.J. Watt (fractured leg) along with a handful of other injuries to their stop unit, the Texans have leaned on their offense to do the heavy lifting. […]

The New England Patriots overcame another huge scare in Week 6, beating the division rival New York Jets by a narrow score of 24-17. One could even argue that the Jets might’ve stolen a win had it not been for a controversial call on a scoring play by New York late in Sunday’s game. On […]

Veteran linebacker NaVorro Bowman found little to no downtime after he was waived by the San Francisco 49ers last week, with the neighboring Oakland Raiders quickly snagging him up to bolster their defense on Tuesday.

It’s been rumored that Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant requested to be traded given his lack of involvement in the Steelers’ passing game this season.

There’s nothing like blowing a big lead in a loss to make a team question whether it needed a dramatic shift in the way it’s handling its business.

Is Carlos Hyde on the verge of getting traded? Not really, if you ask San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan who recently dispelled rumors that the team is thinking of trading the running back.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ season looked like it was in big trouble when quarterback Jameis Winston went down with a shoulder injury against the Arizona Cardinals.

The Minnesota Vikings have a lot to be happy about these days. They’re on top of the NFC North despite missing their No. 1 quarterback. They also have the inside track on the division title after Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone and could miss most, if not all, of the season. And to top it […]

The nightmare Green Bay Packers fans hoped would never happen this season has indeed occurred, as star quarterback Aaron Rodgers is in big danger of missing the rest of the season with a collarbone injury.

Former #49ers LB NaVorro Bowman is […]

It’s not fun to be an Aaron Rodgers fantasy football owner right now, as the injured quarterback is going to be as useful to your team as Jared Lorenzen. There are options, however, to soften the blow of Rodgers’ loss, two of which we have listed below. As always, wide receivers and running backs are […]

Since declining his option for the 2017 season with the San Francisco 49ers back in March, veteran quarterback Colin Kaepernick has remained readily available on the NFL free-agent market.

The Denver Broncos had a rough Sunday night. Apart from being the first victims of the New York Giants this season with a 23-10 loss, the Broncos were also bitten by the injury bug, as wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders went down with an ankle injury.
