For the first time since 2009, the New York Giants are playing on Thanksgiving day, and they’re hoping to have explosive wide receiver Sterling Shepard on the field. On the Giants’ official injury report for tomorrow’s game, Shepard is listed as questionable with an illness. Shepard missed New York’s victory over the Kansas City Chiefs […]

Cleveland Browns fans are some of the most loyal in the NFL, supporting a team that only has one playoff appearance since it’s reincarnation in 1999. Their last winning season was 2007, and over the last three years, they have a combined four wins. In their last 29 games, they only have one win. While […]

Datone Jones entered the National Football League with plenty of hype in 2013. Fast-forward a few years, and now the former first round draft pick has been waived by his third different team in a single season. This time, the San Francisco 49ers unceremoniously dumped the defensive player. For those unaware, Datone Jones was the […]

That experiment didn’t last long. The Buffalo Bills have announced that Tyrod Taylor is back as the team’s starting quarterback. Who knew that a historically awful performance by a backup quarterback would result in such a thing? Oh yeah … just about everyone. Nathan Peterman started last weekend for the Bills. He was awful. Not just […]

The Kansas City Chiefs fired John Dorsey back in June. At the time, despite Dorsey himself saying he was mostly just a caretaker at that point, it came as a shock to those who follow the National Football League. A few months removed from that, and John Dorsey wants back in the game. “Hopefully when […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars are sneaky good this season. A real and legitimate playoff team. This is largely due to its defense and players like defensive lineman Calais Campbell. How has this all worked out so well for the Jaguars? There are a variety of reasons, but the coupling of a good running game with a great […]

Whatever you do, under zero circumstances, do not question where Ben Roethlisberger places his priorities, apparently. According to the future Hall of Fame gunslinger, he cares deeply for both football and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Big Ben does a weekly (paid) radio appearance. This week, he used the platform to go after his critics. “In a way […]

The Arizona Cardinals once hoped running back Chris Johnson would help solve a lot of team issues. Since the veteran back lost his job to Adrian Peterson back in October, he’s instead helped to flame the fire. Taking to the mean streets of Twitter this week, Chris Johnson has posted the following messages (H/T Pro […]

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is a polarizing figure. Between his college career that had scandal surrounding it, to his sometimes weird postgame press conference behavior, you either love or hate the guy. Deep breaths, guys. You’re about to either be infuriated over a supposed hypocrisy or feel the heartfelt message wash over you like […]

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning hasn’t exactly played stellar this season. During these tough times, the veteran signal-caller has turned to fiery motivational speeches to help offset that iffy play. “Eli is the heartbeat of our team,” running back Orleans Darkwa. “In pregame he gave a fiery speech that got everybody riled up. To have […]

Green Bay Packers rookie running back Aaron Jones recently made the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Six days before his first National Football League start, he was arrested for charges of speeding, driving without a valid license and operating a vehicle with a controlled substance in his system. He has since pleaded not guilty. While […]

Denver Broncos quarterback Paxton Lynch might look like a sky pirate, but he’s now the starter for the famed National Football League franchise. With that being so, repercussions are now being had with the depth chart. Despite looking like a Twilight actor, as well as the last starting at QB for Denver, Brock Osweiler’s stock is […]

Jimmy Garoppolo not yet playing for the San Francisco 49ers might seem strange since the franchise traded a second round pick for him, but John Lynch isn’t in a huge hurry to receive a return on investment from the deal. “With all our players, we want to set them up for success,” Lynch said, via Eric Branch […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers celebrated their fifth-straight win in Week 11 to move ahead to 8-2 in the 2017 NFL season. Unfortunately, they got a bit of bad news on Monday after the NFL announced the four-game suspension of starting right tackle Marcus Gilbert for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy. As a result, the Steelers will […]

After a slow start to the 2017 NFL season, the Atlanta Falcons finally seem to be back on track following a clutch 34-31 victory over the Seattle Seahawks.

The Tennessee Titans are within range of the top spot in the AFC South with a 6-3 record. They trail only the 7-3 Jacksonville Jaguars for the division lead with still five games left on the Titans’ schedule. Tennessee tight end Delanie Walker isn’t happy, however, about the apparent regression of his team’s offense from […]

Dating back to last season, the Cleveland Browns are just 1-26. They’re winless through 10 games this season. Needless to say, the Browns are the football representation of a dumpster on fire. Equating the franchise to a flaming pile of garbage might not even be enough to convey just how bad this team is. The […]

The Oakland Raiders entered the 2017 NFL season with the expectations of a legitimate run at Super Bowl LII. However, it was evident early in the year that this team still has a way to go before setting the bar that high again. The Raiders have decided to switch things up again following their embarrassing 33-8 defeat at […]

After a dominating 40-17 victory over the Tennessee Titans last week, the Pittsburgh Steelers currently sit at 8-2, good for a tie atop the AFC standings with the New England Patriots.

Just four games into his tenure with the Seattle Seahawks, former All-Pro defensive end and future Hall of Famer Dwight Freeney has been cut by the franchise, the team announced on Tuesday. Another organization could select Freeney off of waivers, but there’s a chance that his NFL career has come to a close. In those contests, […]

At 8-2, the Minnesota Vikings have asserted themselves as a legitimate Super Bowl contender in the NFC, and starting quarterback Case Keenum has exceeded all expectations after taking over for Sam Bradford. When Bradford and star rookie running back Dalvin Cook were lost for the season, a lot of fans and pundits felt a playoff-run […]

It’s been a tumultuous season for the Denver Broncos as they try to move on from the Peyton Manning era, and now the man they spent a first round pick on to replace him, Paxton Lynch, is finally getting his shot. After winning 12 or more games in four straight seasons, including two Super Bowl […]

Heading into the season, most pundits assumed the Dallas Cowboys would be back in the postseason. With a young core headed by Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, as well as stars like left tackle Tyron Smith and linebacker Sean Lee, Dallas appeared poised to contend again in 2017. However, injuries to Smith and Lee, as […]

NFL Week 11  featured a battle of contenders in the NFC. The Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings duked it out for three quarters like they once did in the 1960s and ’70s. However, it was the Vikings that emerged with the win, setting the stage for a late-season run deep into the playoffs. Meanwhile, […]

We bid goodbye to byes in Week 12, as all teams will have games every week of the regular season from this point forward. With regards to fantasy football, this means more available players to choose from as waiver wire pickups. Let’s look through some of the best below. 10. Russell Shepard – Carolina Panthers […]

Vance Joseph is in his first season as a head coach in the National Football League. Despite his Denver Broncos clearly regressing this season, he’s managed to escape a large portion of the accountability. Instead, as the Broncos fired him on Monday, it had been offensive coordinator Mike McCoy playing the role of scapegoat. According […]

Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins has a lot on the line this season. He is basically playing for a potential huge future paycheck. It is why, at least somewhat, it is understandable that he’s losing his marbles over an intentional grounding call. It’s just that, you know, he doesn’t seem to know the rule. “The […]

Chicago Bears tight end Zach Miller, who it was once believed might lose his leg, is now out of the hospital. Clearly good news for both the National Football League veteran and those who prefer their athletes not in hospital beds. Freedom!!!! Guess who’s home!?!? #DayByDay — Zach Miller (@ZMiller86) November 21, 2017 According to […]

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Mularkey wants officials held publicly accountable. The timing of this doesn’t appear to be random. To simplify what happened: The Titans forced a fumble against the Pittsburgh Steelers with less than two minutes to go in the first half. There’s a rule that is meant to prevent the offense from […]

Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid is known as a quarterback whisperer of sorts. That being said, after a great start to the season, the thing he’s most known for is biting him right in the rear. To put it more bluntly: Alex Smith hasn’t exactly been great the last few weeks. In turn, the […]

Despite failing to reach his unrealistic goal of 200 receiving yards in his debut, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook is getting praise from all the right people this week. “The one thing I’m happy with is that it’s not too big,” head coach Doug Marrone said, via the Florida Times-Union. “In other words, Westbrook came in there […]

There appears to be no huge rift within the Denver Broncos. At least not in the realm of perception. Not after Brandon Marshall went out on a limb to protect head coach Vance Joseph with some kind words. “We respect Vance whole-heartedly. We talk about it all the time,” linebacker Brandon Marshall said, via Nicki Jhabvala […]

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is not a fan of international games and volcanoes. No. You read that correctly. There’s no need to read that first sentence over again. Here is Bill Belichick on if he would want to go back to play another game outside the states: “Personally I wouldn’t be in any […]

In case you were somehow unaware, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is good at playing his position in the National Football League. That being said, he’s been on the wrong end of some jokes due to Atlanta collapsing against the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. On Monday night, with a lead over the […]

If you thought we would be talking about Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill this season, you have great wisdom inside that cranium of yours. If you thought we would be doing this in terms of his kicking ability, then you need to tell me what numbers to play for the lottery. Anyway, over the weekend […]

It has been another inauspicious year for the Miami Dolphins after a 4-6 start to the 2017 NFL season. However, the Dolphins finally got the spark on offense they needed in the form of backup quarterback Matt Moore during the second half of their matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Does this mean Jay Cutler should […]

What’s a week without a Pittsburgh Steelers player being issued with a fine or suspension? This time, it’s right tackle Marcus Gilbert, who’ll not see action for the next four games for his infraction of the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substance.
