Matthew Stafford seems to be paired with the best defense of his 17-year NFL career. The Los Angeles Rams rank first in Defensive EPA (Estimated Points Added) through seven weeks and Chris Shula’s side of the ball is second in points allowed and 2nd in points per drive allowed. It is the first time the […]
The Baltimore Ravens signed defensive tackle David Olajiga to their practice squad after a workout on Tuesday, per a team announcement. Olajiga, 27, was born in London and came to the NFL via the International Player Pathway program, making him eligible for an extra, 17th spot on the practice squad. He spent the 2024 season […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have released quarterback Logan Woodside from the practice squad, the team announced Tuesday. Woodside spent the preseason with the Steelers, joining the team after Will Howard suffered a hand injury in training camp. He was released on August 22nd and brought back to the practice squad on September 10th. With Skylar Thompson […]
It’s that time of the week again. Grab your banana suit and enjoy these cob nominations. Memphis The Tigers were undefeated. The Blazers have an interim head coach. The unthinkable happens. Florida State Seminoles went to The Farm and got whacked. Was the wrong Norvell fired on Sunday? This is a bit embarrassing. Miami Quarterback […]
The NFL is a week-to-week league, and in our current one the sun is shining a bit brighter on the Dallas Cowboys. Thankfully there is no AT&T Stadium glare to make it impossible to see, though. Things appear to be looking up for the Cowboys, but they can just as quickly turn as we know […]
Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 8 Welcome to the crossroads of the 2025 fantasy football season. Week 8 marks the official midway point where playoff contenders begin to separate themselves from pretenders, and your lineup decisions have never carried more weight. With six teams on a bye in week 8, roster flexibility becomes huge as […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers need to change something on the defensive side of the ball to limit big plays and scoring drives following a disastrous performance against the Cincinnati Bengals last Thursday night. Cincinnati finished with 470 yards of offense and converted 7-of-14 (50%) on third down. The Steelers recorded two sacks of Joe Flacco, but […]
The Baltimore Ravens opened Week 8 as 6.5-point favorites in their upcoming matchup against the Chicago Bears. Of course, that is predicated on Lamar Jackson playing this week after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury. That was the expectation heading into the Ravens’ Week 7 bye, but Jackson did not participate in […]
On Monday, we shared how Brock Purdy was dealing with an “annoying injury” that has made him day-to-day. Also on Monday, head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that it would be a reach to say Purdy is on track to start this week since “No one has said that.” The next two games the 49ers play […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers had plenty of momentum heading into Cincinnati in the midst of a three-game win streak. The Steelers’ offense continued to put up quality numbers, including the second four-touchdown passing performance from Aaron Rodgers this season. The same could not be said of the defense, which surrendered 470 total yards of offense. Despite […]
There’s an old saying in sports, “We win as a team. We lose as a team.” That means when a team isn’t doing well, nobody points fingers. From the top of the organization on down each person asks themselves what they can do better. Let’s just say that in his quarter century of owning the […]
Week 8 brings a much-needed bye for the Las Vegas Raiders, as the team sits at 2-5 and was completely embarrassed by the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday. The Raiders need to regroup and reevaluate where their season is headed, especially since they’re consistently one of the lowest-rated teams in NFL Power Rankings across the […]
1. The Chicago Bears and New England Patriots finished the 2024 season with a combined eight wins. Just seven weeks into this year, they have nine wins combined and only two losses each. They went about it in different ways, with the Bears leaning heavily into offensive culture and scheming under Ben Johnson and the […]
The Bears beat the Saints on Sunday, but didn’t win because of Caleb Williams. They won despite him. Caleb Williams turned in one of his roughest outings of the season in the 26–14 victory, completing just 15 of 26 passes for 168 yards, no touchdowns, and a first-quarter interception that set the tone for an uneven day through the air. It wasn’t disastrous — the Bears’ defense and run game carried the load — but it was a reminder that the young quarterback still has plenty to figure out. ...
It’s probably not going to happen for him this year, because of Bill Belichick joining the pool of coaching candidates, but former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike Holmgren has advanced to the group of 12 for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s coaching candidates going into the next stage of Class of 2026 voting. […]

Week 8: 1-02025: 28-13Mortal Lock: 6-2 Weekly Post-Mortem Just one game last week, but it was a doozy. So, let’s see how well we nailed down Third Saturday. We’re going live a little early this week, because one of the games I want to feature is on tonight. Time for receipts from last week: Told […]
The Buffalo Bills and their fans are hyper-focused on one thing: winning the Super Bowl. That’s true of any NFL team and fan base, but it hits a bit different for a select few franchises where no Lombardi Trophy sits. Buffalo hasn’t even appeared in the big game since the 1993 season, their fourth-consecutive, yet […]
Once again, we are coming off a Tennessee Titans’ loss to look at NFL power rankings. The Titans have actually moved up in a couple these because the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins are so bad. With that being said, if the Titans played either of those teams, do you think they would be […]
Even though he has started five games this season and is tied for third on the team with two touchdown receptions, Mack Hollins has been a relatively quiet member of the New England Patriots’ wide receiver group thus far. Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte are the most productive pass catchers on the team through seven […]
The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced on Tuesday the 12 coaches who advanced to the next round of voting for election into the hall’s Class of 2026. Marty Schottenheimer, who was head coach of the Cleveland Browns from 1984 to 1988, was one of several coaches who made the cut to 12 candidates. Under […]
Sunday night’s 20-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons for the San Francisco 49ers was a masterclass performance from both Kyle Shanahan and Robert Saleh. With both sides of the ball dealing with plenty of injuries, the 49ers put together their best performance of the 2025 season thanks to a solid game plan from Shanahan and […]
The Dallas Cowboys are on the clock. The tick-tock sound you hear is Father Time winding down on the playing career of Dak Prescott. The Cowboys’ franchise quarterback is 32 years old, and realistically speaking, you can probably count on one hand how many good years he has left. And it doesn’t help that he […]
After a rough loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last week, the Detroit Lions needed to make a statement. Back at Ford Field in a primetime game, the Lions hosted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers just to send them packing in a 24-9 win for the home team. Contrary to what the score shows, Detroit’s offense […]
