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.

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

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.

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. Although Bowman hasn’t been at his best of late, the three-time Pro Bowl selection is still very optimistic that he […]

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. Take for example the Atlanta Falcons, who relived their mini-Super Bowl collapse on Sunday by squandering a 17-point cushion in a 20-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins […]

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.

He also didn’t stray too far from his previous employer, as it is was reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and ESPN’ Adam Schefter that Bowman agreed to play for one year for the Oakland Raiders. 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.

Through the first several weeks of the season with the New Orleans Saints, former league MVP Adrian Peterson was growing quite frustrated with his backup role in limited action.

The San Francisco 49ers suffered their sixth straight loss of the season on Sunday, falling to the Washington Redskins on the road, 26-24. The playoffs are virtually out of reach for the 0-6 Niners, and their fans have less motivation to watch their games other than to focus on rebuilding. But, if there’s someone who’ll […]

New York Giants cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie could be back on the field as soon as Week 7.

[…]

Week 6 was a forgettable one for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who only didn’t just lose to the Arizona Cardinals, 38-33, but they also saw their starting quarterback Jameis Winston go down with a shoulder injury.

After years of searching, the Houston Texans finally have their franchise quarterback in the form of the rookie, Deshaun Watson.

The New England Patriots aren’t the dominant team everyone expected they’d be in their Super Bowl title defense this season. Although the Patriots haven’t been blowing out teams this year, Tom Brady and company have been doing enough to be sitting at 4-2 with six weeks of the 2017 NFL season in the books. Along with […]
