The Dolphins overcame a recent five-game losing streak […]

Imagine saying this at the start of the season: the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to the NFL Playoffs.

The Cincinnati Bengals got the short end of the stick when the NFL decided to rule their game against the Buffalo Bills a no-contest.

The Baltimore Ravens have already clinched a playoff spot this season after missing out on them entirely last season, but that doesn’t mean they are guaranteed to make a deep run. The Ravens are struggling mightily right now, and need to get star quarterback Lamar Jackson back on the field if they intend on winning […]

The San Francisco 49ers have been having a very interesting season. On one hand, they have been decimated at key positions.

Garoppolo then suffered a […]
