The Detroit Lions are riding the momentum of an impressive 2023-24 season. Detroit hopes to maintain its status as one of the top two teams in the NFC during the Fall of 2024. The squad is returning some highly-touted contributors. Yet, there remain questions about the Lions’ wide receiver core. Head coach Dan Campbell was […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are now defending champions for the second straight year. Part of the territory that comes with winning the Super Bowl is that other teams want your players and their championship pedigree. After all, the NFL is a copycat league. Because of that, the Chiefs lost some key contributors in the offseason. […]

The Indianapolis Colts are about to enter one of their most anticipated seasons in recent memory. Hope is alive and well in Indy that the team can succeed in year two under QB Anthony Richardson. If they want a chance to succeed this season, the Colts will need to stay healthy. The NFL’s Guardian Cap […]

The Indianapolis Colts are laying in the weeds in the AFC South. Indy is often overlooked, despite having an exciting young QB and tons of talent all over their roster. If Anthony Richardson can stay healthy in 2024, there’s no telling how successful the Colts could be. Colts QB Anthony Richardson returned to the field […]

The Dallas Cowboys were unsuccessful in their preseason opener this afternoon, losing 13-12 to the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium.

That’s disheartening as starting QB Dak Prescott is in […]

Despite the loss to the Los Angeles Rams, 13-12, to start their preseason, Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons took time to look forward to the 2028 LA Olympics.

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix impressed in his preseason debut against the Indianapolis Colts, which they won 34-30. Despite coming off the bench, Nix played well enough to earn consideration of a starting job over current starter Jarrett Stidham sometime in the next season. Stidham went to the bench in the first quarter, and […]

It’s not often that teams in any sport should find effective contributors, much less high-quality players, in the trenches of the draft. That doesn’t seem to be a problem for the Los Angeles Rams, though, whose sixth-round draft pick Jordan Whittington put in an impressive performance in his NFL preseason debut. The former Texas Longhorn […]

There hasn’t been much of a Denver Broncos quarterback controversy this offseason.

The New Orleans Saints are undefeated after squeaking out a last-second 16-14 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton spoke after the game and talked about what really impressed him with the University of Oregon product. While Jarrett Stidham started the […]

Sometimes, life is bigger than football. New Orleans Saints backup quarterback Jake Haener didn’t let cancer surgery slow him down in their 16-14 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday. The second-year signal-caller was diagnosed with skin cancer in late July, and the resulting surgery put 32 stitches in his face. They will be removed […]

The Denver Broncos shocked the world when they drafted Bo Nix with the 12th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, but the franchise seemed convinced that he was their quarterback of the future.

Reading too closely into the results of a preseason game is a fool’s errand, but don’t tell that to Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott after getting trounced in a 33-6 loss to the Chicago Bears. When asked to surmise what specifically went wrong for the Bills in their NFL preseason opener, McDermott was salient […]

The first-year signal-caller only played the team’s opening drive. […]

Drew Lock left the New York Giants preseason opener with a hip injury in the first quarter, and there was concern about how serious it may have been.

Even with a new head coach in Dave Canales, the Carolina Panthers won’t be changing at quarterback as long as Bryce Young is in town. Still, the Panthers want to ensure they have a proper backup plan in place should Young get hurt. Jack Plummer had the first opportunity to prove he is worthy in […]
