The New Orleans Saints have gotten out to a strong start this season, currently boasting one of the best records in the league at 7-2 record through the first nine games. A major part of that has been the stellar play of rookie running back Alvin Kamara, who has become a dynamic dual-threat impact player in […]

Dallas Cowboys star running back Ezekiel Elliott is currently in the second week after his six-game suspension was reinstated.

[…]

It has been a few weeks since Green Bay Packers starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a broken collarbone against the Minnesota Vikings that required surgery, forcing him onto the injured reserve list. However, Rodgers has continued to take steps forward in his recovery as he went through some rehab workouts on Wednesday morning during practice, […]

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. Without him, they’ve been gashed to the tune of disappointing losses. Anthony Hitchens hopes to change that trend this weekend. Lee will be out again this Sunday when the Cowboys […]

Injuries continue to crush the Green Bay Packers, but head coach Mike McCarthy expressed some confidence that running back Ty Montgomery will be available this Sunday. While talking to reporters ahead of practice on Wednesday, McCarthy briefly spoke on Montgomery’s availability against the Baltimore Ravens as he continues to deal with a rib injury: McCarthy […]

Given some of the flimsy offensive lines he’s played behind, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers’ durability is truly incredible. Since becoming the starter in 2006, Rivers has started 194 consecutive games for the Bolts, including playoffs. That includes starting in the 2007 AFC championship game against the undefeated New England Patriots with a torn […]

Brett Hundley took home the first win of his NFL career on Sunday as the Green Bay Packers collected a critical victory over the rival Chicago Bears, 23-16.

Per the Minnesota Vikings’ official Twitter account, head coach Mike Zimmer has officially named Case Keenum as the team’s starting quarterback for this Sunday’s game agains the Los Angeles Rams. There had been speculation that Teddy Bridgewater, who was recently activated after his inspiring recovery from a major knee injury, would get the nod ahead […]

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 […]

Welp. Here we are, Buffalo Bills fans. In a place in space and time when the team has decided to bench quarterback Tyrod Taylor in favor of Nathan Peterman. If you had this in some preseason gambling pool, congrats! Also, get help for your gambling problem. The team announced the switch on Wednesday. Bills‏ head coach Sean […]

Many people were concerned for Jacoby Brissett after he took a brutal hit to the head. After he didn’t really miss any game time, and the Indianapolis Colts continued to let him play despite the awful looking hit, the NFL franchise came under heavy scrutiny for maybe not doing more to check out the gunslinger. […]

It has been a tumultuous 2017 NFL season to say the least for the New York Giants. Aside from being ravaged by the injuries all year long, the Giants have struggled to keep up with even the lowest-tier of teams. In turn, many have speculated that head coach Ben McAdoo will be shown the door […]

The Dallas Cowboys saw its offensive line get destroyed last weekend by the Atlanta Falcons. This was due to, at least largely, the absence of talented tackle Tyron Smith. It was clear that the Cowboys missed his abilities. And yet, somehow, Jerry Jones believes the team will be just fine and dandy if Tyron Smith […]

Miami Dolphins coach Adam Gase isn’t about to hurl Xavien Howard under the bus. Despite the second-year talent having a bit of a sophomore slump, Miami’s head coach is backing him, as should all “leaders” when faced with adversity. “The touchdown they had on the last throw [a 22-yarder from Cam Newton to Devin Funchess], there’s not many guys that […]

Currently not in the National Football League on any team, Robert Griffin III claims he could help the Houston Texans, as well as plenty of other teams around the league.

The Dallas Cowboys are quickly falling behind the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East. Following a loss to the Atlanta Falcons last weekend, in which Dallas’ offensive line was eaten alive, things aren’t exactly looking up. Maybe it is why Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is already declaring Sunday as a must-win day. “If we want […]

New York Giants owner John Mara isn’t a household name around the country. In the state of New York, however, he’s about as famous as one can get. It is why it comes as a relatively shocking revelation that he, despite likely being regularly hounded, has been responding to letters sent in by fans. According […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are a different kind of beast this season. Historically speaking, the proud National Football League franchise is reliant upon Ben Roethlisberger and his incredible ability to have, well, many abilities. So far this season, it has been far more a team effort, with Big Bad Ben surrounded by elite skill position players on […]

Greg Olsen plays football for the Carolina Panthers, but is currently out with an injury.

The Baltimore Ravens and starting quarterback Joe Flacco have struggled to find any level of consistency this season, currently sitting at a 4-5 record heading into their Week 11 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The bulk of those issues have stemmed from the sub-par play from their former Pro Bowl quarterback Flacco through the […]

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is putting together yet another Pro Bowl-caliber season that has pushed him further up the list of the best receivers to ever play the game, statistically. According to Pro Football Reference, Fitzgerald is close to passing up a few future Hall of Famers in all-time receiving yards. Right now, […]

Shortly after the Green Bay Packers parted ways with veteran tight end Martellus Bennett last week, he was scooped up off waivers by his most recent employer, the New England Patriots.

After a disastrous start to the 2017 NFL season, the New Orleans Saints have ripped off seven wins in a row to secure their place atop the NFC South.

It has been a rough second season for Washington Redskins running back Rob Kelley that has been marred by injuries.

Adrian Clayborn shines Once upon a time, Adrian Clayborn dominated Big Ten offensive lines, […]

The NFL is currently in the midst of perhaps its most controversial season in league history. On one side of the boycott, there are fans refusing to watch professional football due to player protests while the other side is doing the same after quarterback Colin Kaepernick was seemingly being blackballed from the NFL. Although most […]

2017 has been a year filled with high expectations for the Dallas Cowboys. Unfortunately, things have taken a turn for the worst after their 27-7 thrashing at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons. Things do not get any easier for ‘America’s Team’ either with a Week 11 matchup versus the Philadelphia Eagles. Although the Eagles […]

The Carolina Panthers are coming off their most dominant win of the season, putting up a dominant 45-21 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football. The offense was clicking on all cylinders as quarterback Cam Newton torched the formidable Dolphins defense with four touchdowns and over 90 yards rushing. Carolina received more good news on […]

One of the biggest surprises of the 2017 NFL season is the dramatic rise of the Los Angeles Rams’ offense, and left tackle Andrew Whitworth deserves as much credit as anyone for their success. In their first season back in L.A. under Jeff Fisher, the Rams finished dead last with an average of 14 points […]

The Miami Dolphins aren’t exactly having the sort of season players were likely hoping for, but several key members on the roster still believe the team has talent and should be good. “Adam [Gase] said it really well in the locker room, that’s three weeks out of 16,” quarterback Jay Cutler said after the Monday night debacle […]

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis isn’t really doing injured running back Jeremy Hill any favors. With Hill needing surgery, Lewis is telling the press that the running back doesn’t actually need it (yet). Man, you have to love when someone tells another person what they should or shouldn’t be doing with their body. Especially […]

Somehow forgotten this season, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is good at the game of football. Maybe he hasn’t developed into the top-tier star some were once projecting, but he remains one of the few “actually good” gunslingers in the National Football League. Over the weekend, Cam Newton managed to join some rarefied company, as […]

Cameron Wake is a good player on an iffy team. The Miami Dolphins do have some built in excuses for this substandard season, though, as it lost its starting quarterback before the season even began and replaced him with a retired gunslinger who was close to calling games for FOX. Still, Cameron Wake is a […]

Everyone likely knows the story that surrounded San Francisco 49ers receiver Marquise Goodwin over the weekend. His family suffering from great loss, Goodwin managed to play well despite that and aid Kyle Shanahan and company to the team’s first win of the season.
