Now is not the time to take the foot off the gas. Flying high thanks to a badly-needed two-game winning streak on the heels of three straight deflating defeats, the Eagles find themselves in a solid position entering the final two weeks of the season. With their second straight division title locked up, the Birds […]
The Miami Dolphins fell to 6-9 last week when they lost to the Cincinnati Bengals in yet another embarrassing performance. This year has been anything but productive for Miami, who, despite a four-game win streak in the middle of the year, have struggled to look competitive for much of the year. The third quarter continues […]
There are already rumors that star quarterback Joe Burrow could be traded by the Cincinnati Bengals this offseason and the Las Vegas Raiders have already been connected as a possible suitor. We will talk much more of this topic in the offseason if the trade talks persist. But we wanted to get ahead of the […]
In previous years, poor quarterback play doomed the season in December and January, not giving the Steelers much of a chance in the playoffs. In 2025, Aaron Rodgers is elevating them. The Steelers have won three games in a row and are one win, or a Baltimore loss in Green Bay, away from clinching the […]
Welcome to week 16 of the Cyclone tracker! This is where we follow our resident weather-themed duo in rookie receivers Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, both out of Iowa State (hence, the “Cyclone” twins). As always, there will be analysis, projections, commentary, and relevant updates that happen in real time. Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel statistics vs. Raiders Jayden […]
A rough 2025 season only got worse for the Kansas City Chiefs in a 26-9 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Ahead of a Christmas Day game that will feature the team’s third starting quarterback this year, the collection of power rankings did not pull any punches. Here’s this week’s sampling: NFL.com: 21 (Down from 20) […]
Welcome back everyone to the Hike’s Peak podcast, thank you for coming back to the mountain! It’s time for the bowl season special, as we have the five remaining Mountain West teams ending their seasons this week. We’ll go through all five of those, complete with previews and predictions, and we’ll also go over Utah […]
Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season will begin on Christmas Day — and the latest of Thursday’s three games will match up the (6-9) Kansas City Chiefs and the (12-3) Denver Broncos on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. The last home game of the Chiefs’ season is scheduled to kick off at 7:15 p.m. […]
The Seattle Seahawks rookie class combined for 160 total snaps in Week 16, a number inflated by the game going to overtime. Once again, the workload was heavily concentrated on Grey Zabel and Nick Emmanwori. Rylie Mills, Robbie Ouzts, and Nick Kallerup saw limited action, combining for just 17 total snaps. Connor O’Toole was active […]
Let’s hit another 2026 NFL mock draft. As long as the Giants hold onto the top pick, I still think that someone will end up moving up for it, and they’d be wise to trade back a few spots. Plus, the Bears add a different EDGE, and the Chiefs pick up the most dangerous offensive player in the draft class . 2026 NFL Mock Draft 1. New York Jets (via NYG): QB Fernando Mendoza – Indiana If the Giants end up with the top pick, they will almost certainly deal it. I’m sure they’d ra...

The New England Patriots have locked up another member of their 2026 free agency class. After already keeping cornerback Marcus Jones from the open market back in October, they have now also taken care of offensive lineman Ben Brown. Scheduled to enter restricted free agency next offseason, Brown and the Patriots reached an agreement on […]
The Detroit Lions (8-7) fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-24 in Week 16, a game that delivered a massive blow to the Lions’ chances of making the postseason. Despite being touchdown favorites, the Lions were never able to gain control of the game and once again failed to live up to their potential. Let’s take […]
Some interesting news emerged after Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys game when Brian Schottenheimer noted that Tyler Smith was going to play left tackle for the final two games of the season. This is significant to say the least and requires a bit of a TL;DR on how we got here: Tyler’s deal was a four-year, $96M […]
Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingbury talked to reporters before Tuesday’s practice started. The team is on a short week, coming off a game on Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles, and preparing to host the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, Christmas day. They are likely to be down to their third-string QB with Marcus Mariota getting […]
The Cleveland Browns’ defense allowed 209 yards of offense on the first three drives, all of which results in touchdowns for Buffalo. It was as bad as a defense could look, and I thought it would continue that way the rest of the game. However, over the Bills’ next seven drives, they totaled a combined […]
Christmastime being around the corner means that I get my obligatory annual use of Bears receiver DJ Moore’s Grinch-y Christmas cleats from a few years ago. Don’t worry. I am saving the airing of my Bears Pro Bowl snub grievances ( it is Festivus, after all !) in a post after Bullets gets pushed out the door. Episode No. 14 of The BN Bears podcast is OUT. This might be my favorite pod of the year. Between a Bears win against the Packers, Patrick cutting a promo on completion pe...
The official results of this year’s Pro Bowl Games voting have been announced and the 11-4 Chargers are sending five players to the annual event. Quarterback Justin Herbert, offensive tackle Joe Alt, edge rusher Tuli Tuipulotu, safety Derwin James, and kicker Cameron Dicker were all named to this year’s all-star event with Dicker being the […]
The San Francisco 49ers nearly scored 50 points on the road against the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night. The previous four games felt like “get right” or “tune up” games. We were always going to find out who the Niners really were during this final stretch of games. Against the Colts, we did. Let’s get […]
With two games left in the regular season, the Miami Dolphins are poised for a top-10 pick. Here is who fans should root for in Week 17 to help keep them there.
The Los Angeles Rams are in the playoffs for the third straight year and are fighting for the NFC’s top seed with two games to go. There are plenty of things to be grateful for this season, but in the true spirit of Festivus, it is time for the airing of grievances. Serenity now! Serenity […]
In an edition of the Arrowhead Pride Premier newsletter from June of 2024 — when politicians on both sides of the state line were trying to convince the Kansas City Chiefs to accept each state’s vision for the team’s facilities — I wrote an explainer on the proposals being put forth by Jackson County, Missouri […]
It’s been a while since we’ve done a mock draft roundup, but with two weeks to go in the season, we’re back for another round. The Washington Commanders’ season has been a disaster and they currently sit at 4-11, and are projected to get the No. 7 overall pick in next year’s draft. There will […]
Offense The Ravens lost two offensive starters to injury during their Week 16 defeat against the New England Patriots. Lamar Jackson exited before halftime after 26 snaps, followed by Andrew Vorhees (42 snaps) later in the second half. Neither of them returned, resulting in Tyler Huntley (29 snaps) finishing the game at quarterback and Emery […]
With the holiday season coming around, and the close of the NFL s regular season, it is now time to see the official Pro Bowl Games rosters. Over the past few weeks, the NFL has had fans vote for the players they felt were deserving of the Pro Bowl honor. However, fan voting only accounts […]
