Fans want AOC back. Backup quarterback Aidan O’Connell is getting healthy and the Las Vegas Raiders will soon have a decision to make. This week, the team activated his 21-day window to remove him from the injured reserve. He has been on the IR since breaking his wrist in August in the final preseason game. […]
After a week of rest and relaxation during the bye, we’re back with another installment of “5 Questions.” This week, we had the pleasure of connecting with Christopher Gates, the site manager over at Daily Norseman, to give us some insight into the Minnesota Vikings. We talked about J.J. McCarthy on the eve of his […]
Welcome back to another edition of 5 Questions, a weekly collaboration with other SB Nation sites to preview the Ravens’ upcoming matchups. This week, the Ravens are playing the Dolphins in Miami, so Kevin Nogle of The Phinsider is on hand to answer Baltimore Beatdown’s questions about Week 6. Also, check out Baltimore Beatdown’s responses to The […]
Welcome to week 8 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. Week 8 Cyclones Tracker: […]
Eddy Pineiro has still only missed one kick since signing with the 49ers, and he received recognition for his consistency on Thursday. Pineiro has yet to miss a field goal in his time with San Francisco, going 17 for 17, with his sole failure coming on his opening extra point for the team back in […]
I think we’ll get a look at how good of a head coach Ben Johnson is with how things go for the team with new defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. Desperate times call for desperate measures. And I’m not sure it gets more desperate than signing Gardner-Johnson , a defensive back who will join his third different team this season. But hey, stranger things have happened. Frankly, I look forward to seeing how this plays out. Given the injury situation in the Chicago Bears secondary, there...
Now that Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season is in the books, it’s time for an incredibly meaningful and serious exercise: NFL Power Rankings! What differentiates these rankings from all the others is that they’re THE only truly accurate ones in the entire universe. Hard to believe, I know. Let’s take a look at […]
Liverpool are a club on the precipice of crisis as October reaches its end, with the defending Premier League champions having now lost six of their last seven games in all competitions and with four straight defeats in the league plummeting the Reds to seventh, level with Aston Villa. Things have been especially difficult for […]
For the first time in a year, a Green Bay Packer has been named the NFC Defensive Player of the Month. This time, it’s newcomer Micah Parsons. This is his second time winning the award, first receiving the honor in September of 2023 as a member of the Dallas Cowboys, though I suspect this won’t […]

It’s been no secret that through the first seven games of the season, Matthew Stafford has been playing at an elite level. Stafford is within the top-10 in many advanced metrics including passer rating and EPA per dropback. The Rams quarterback is also second in PFF passing grade behind only Sam Darnold. He leads the […]
The 49ers have already made one trade they hope will improve a struggling defensive line with the acquisition of Keion White from the New England Patriots, but the consensus is they will try to strike another deal before Tuesday’s deadline. It is expected the defensive front will continue to be the focus for San Francisco. […]
I’m not one to keep up with the new generation’s slang, but I feel like this title wrote itself. The MVP of the NFL Dawgs this week was without question former running back James Cook. Cook had a monster game in which he ran for 218 yards and two touchdowns in a 40-9 blowout victory […]
As we prepare for a big weekend of football, let’s look back at the former Orange on NFL rosters: Arizona Cardinals: Garrett Williams Williams remains out of action. Atlanta Falcons: Matthew Bergeron Bergeron played all 50 snaps in the loss to Miami and was Atlanta’s highest-graded offensive player according to PFF.. Cleveland Browns: Andre Szmyt […]
There’s been a feeling of the Falcons hitting rock bottom continually since 2019. It started with a 1-7 start that season, followed by losing the first five games in 2020, leading to the firings of Dan Quinn and Thomas Dimitroff. While 2021 was a rebuilding year, the season opener at home against Philadelphia ended in […]
The Arizona Cardinals are coming off their bye week and the Dallas Cowboys are coming off a game in which they played as if it was their bye week. Despite the embarrassing loss to the Denver Broncos last week, the Cowboys are still favored at home in this Week 9 matchup with the Cardinals. This […]

NFL.com – 30 (-2) “It wasn’t shocking to see the Saints make a QB switch, even if Spencer Rattler wasn’t truly struggling at the time he came out of Sunday’s defeat. I mentioned the possibility last week because it just felt like they couldn’t keep losing and not eventually find out whether Tyler Shough can play or not. Shough’s results against the Bucs didn’t reveal much. The […]
The Washington Commanders lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, and Joe Whitt talked about the play the pissed him off the most on Monday night, letting Patrick Mahomes get to the outside on 4th on 2 on the Chiefs first drive of the 2nd half. They had two interceptions, but Quan Martin’s forced fumble wasn’t […]
Coming into Week 8, the Ravens knew they had to make some changes. At 1-5, their playoff chances were slipping away, and Lamar Jackson still wasn’t back under center. So, the team went to work over the bye, making several key adjustments that showed up in Sunday’s victory over the Bears. Here’s how Baltimore saved […]
The San Francisco 49ers started the trade deadline carousel early, swinging a deal with the New England Patriots for defensive lineman Keion White, swapping 2026 sixth and seventh-round picks in the process. The 49ers needed defensive linemen after the season-ending injury to Nick Bosa, and that need was only exacerbated with the recent injuries to […]
The Cleveland Browns are on the bye for Week 9. That might make this your opportunity to have a free Sunday and tune away from football altogether, but for others, you might still want to sit back, relax, and watch how real offenses look again. I just picked one map below, the CBS early slot, […]
Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2o23 draft class has fared this season as they have returned from the bye: Tyree Wilson: The No. 7 overall draft pick has played 46 percent of the snaps this season after playing 50 percent last season and 43 as a rookie. He has 13 […]
It is Week 9, and the Cleveland Browns are on the bye after having lost to the Patriots last week. Most of the discussion nationally (and locally for that matter) is when the Browns will pull the trigger and go with Shedeur Sanders as their starting quarterback. Everyone can see clear as day that the […]
What are your Los Angeles Rams (5-2) versus the New Orleans Saints (1-7) final score predictions? I am picking the Rams in this one, and I want to keep my prediction grounded, but in theory, this game could (and maybe should?) get out of hand in favor of the Rams, but I’ll keep my prediction […]
