With the Philadelphia Eagles on deck for the Detroit Lions, the chatter about the infamous tush push has already overtaken Detroit. The short-yardage play has become synonymous with the Eagles offense, as its success rate of 91.3% on third or fourth-and-1 from 2022-24 is a huge weapon on critical plays. So, yeah, the Lions are […]
The Olympic Stadium in Berlin has witnessed its share of historic feats over the past nine decades. Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor turned the page to a new chapter on a global stage Sunday, with a performance that will be remembered as one of the greatest individual showcases of the modern NFL era. Taylor […]
With Jackson Powers-Johnson going on injured reserve and potentially missing the rest of the 2025 season, it sounds like the Las Vegas Raiders’ coaching staff has made the decision to put rookie Caleb Rogers at the top of the depth chart at right guard. “I couldn’t think of a better opportunity week one as a […]
When the New England Patriots selected TreVeyon Henderson in the second round of this year’s NFL Draft, they were hoping to get a home run hitter at the running back position. Against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Sunday, the rookie was just that: Henderson scored touchdowns of 55 and 69 yards and played a pivotal […]
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce could warrant upwards of $20M/year in a new deal this upcoming offseason: “Teams I’ve talked to anticipate [Alec] Pierce will hit a big number in free agency. They think the $20 million per year threshold isn’t out of the question for him. Pierce is […]
In the NFL, context matters. So many things happen over the course of the season, many of which we as fans, and even those in the national media, are not privy to. I don’t like to throw out overused internet fan tropes, but when the Minnesota Vikings aren’t doing well, the “armchair GM’s” get their […]
The San Francisco 49ers were rather quiet in free agency this offseason, letting several veterans walk, while not signing any player to a deal worth more than $5.25 million per year. Instead, the goal was to rely on and develop the team’s younger talent as they cleaned the books in what seemed like a ‘bridge’ […]
Texas A&M notched a third straight road victory thanks to its 38-17 trouncing of Missouri. The Aggies finally get to return home to College Station this Saturday as Texas A&M hosts South Carolina. The struggling Gamecocks come into this contest with a 3-6 record, while the Aggies hope to reach 10 regular-season wins for the […]
While at times it sure didn’t look like the Buffalo Bills made the trip at all, let me assure you that the team traveled to Florida where they were embarrassed by the Miami Dolphins. Buffalo, usually good for one embarrassing loss per season, is now up to three such games by my count. In looking […]
The iconic voice was back in the broadcast booth.
For the first time in 20 years, the NFC East will have a repeat champion. The Eagles can stumble, and are stumbling, their way through the rest of the season, and they will win the division because somebody has to and the rest of the division is declining to participate. The NFC Least is so […]
I asked two weeks ago “What are your expectations for the next 3 games”. 90% were expecting either two wins, or that we would sweep the three games. Due to the klunker in Pittsburgh, we will now have to go to KC and win, if we are going to be correct about our prognostications. We […]
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is having a tremendous year. After a horrific season-ending injury suffered by wide receiver Tyreek Hill against the New York Jets in Week 3, Waddle was primed for much bigger role for the rest of the season. So far, he’s lived up to the task. But, that almost wasn’t […]
The Buffalo Bills’ 30-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins was a stark reminder that even division dominance isn’t guaranteed. What was supposed to be a routine bounce-back after a promising win over the Kansas City Chiefs turned into an offensive sputter and ended with a defensive collapse, allowing Miami to snap a seven-game losing streak […]
Start ‘Em Sit’ Em Week 11 Just when you think you’ve got the NFL figured out, they serve up a wacky week of upsets. Luckily, my Start’ Em Sit’ Em article series is starting to hit its stride. Week 10 reminded us that the NFL is gloriously unpredictable, and some fantasy managers paid the price. […]
Chicago Bears head coach spoke to the media today and delivered some refreshing news: he expects cornerback Jaylon Johnson to return this season. CHGO’s Adam Hoge asked the Bears head coach about Jaylon Johnson and fellow injured cornerback Kyler Gordon: “We should be able to get the back at some point at the end of the season here,” Johnson said. “But kind of to-be-determined on when those clocks will start ticking here. I just saw Jaylon in the weight room. He’s excited about where...
The Detroit Lions opened 2025 with multiple players on injury lists, then saw a few more starters end up on injured reserve in the first half of the season. But over the last few weeks, several of these injured players have gotten healthy, and the Lions have started returning them to practice. On Wednesday, the […]
Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we focus on Seattle Seahawks defensive back Nick Emmanwori, a rookie who may just be Mike Macdonald’s most valuable versatile weapon over time… which Macdonald had […]
The Dallas Cowboys could be seeing a former face in the near future. Earlier this week the New York Giants dismissed Brian Daboll as their head coach, he literally never won a game against the Cowboys, and they are now the second team in the NFL who will officially be looking for a new skipper […]
The Eagles won a close game on Monday night and the offense struggled, but they’re back to work on Wednesday preparing for the Lions. Head coach Nick Sirianni spoke to reporters ahead of practice and talked a lot about A.J. Brown’s production, A.J. Brown’s comments being a distraction, and the fourth down kill shot call […]
A.J. Brown is frustrated. This much has been apparent for most of the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2025 season. Following a win over the Green Bay Packers where he was targeted just three times (twice within the Eagles’ first two drives and then not again until their final offensive play), Brown had the following to say in […]
Somewhere along the way, I obviously did something to perturb Wageranius, the Greek God of Betting.* *Who actually ran a book in Athens during the glory years. Remnants of his parlor still stand right near the Parthenon. His website advert is almost in tact, “BetYourAss.cae” Yes, I’m advised they had some sort of computer thingie […]
Many fans have been wondering when the San Francisco 49ers will see what they have in rookie third-round pick Nick Martin. After all, this is a defense that has struggled mightily since Fred Warner dislocated his ankle a month ago. For much of the season, Martin was a healthy scratch. Martin’s season debut came in […]
The Los Angeles Rams are entering “midnight mode” this Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. What grade would give the Rams black uniforms as they head into Week 11’s monumental matchup for the division lead between two 7-2 teams? As part of the NFL’s “rivalry uniform” series that started this season with eight teams, the Rams […]
The Cleveland Browns have officially signed WR Kaden Davis to the active roster from the practice squad today ahead of their game against the Baltimore Ravens this weekend. Davis, officially in his fourth season after signing with the Denver Broncos as a UDFA in 2022, has been a fan favorite in Cleveland throughout the 2025 […]
