The Dallas Cowboys are playing the Denver Broncos this week. That is a kryptonite of sorts for this franchise. Consider that the Cowboys last beat the Broncos during the 1995 season. That game took place at Texas Stadium though so the last time that Dallas won at Denver was even earlier (1992). The Broncos have […]

Entering May, it looked like Vinnie Pasquantino’s unfortunate and untimely thumb injury of 2024 lingered. Before that game, which was the finale of a three-game series in Tampa, Pasquatch owned one ugly slash line: .177/.242/.327. It’s pretty amazing, then, that he ended the season with an OPS of .798, 20% above league average, while setting […]

NFL.com – 28 (-3) “This was the first game this season where I think you can say Spencer Rattler truly didn’t play well. His four turnovers directly led to a Bears win, and after six losses in seven outings, the window for considering a QB change seems a little more ajar than before.
