This offseason was among the most impactful in recent memory for the Minnesota Vikings. There was substantial turnover among key positions and big name players. None were more important than a changing of the guard at quarterback. Out with Kirk Cousins and in with Sam Darnold. Now at the halfway point of the season, the…
The Houston Texans are hours away from the NFL Trade Deadline, and they could look to make an upgrade or two while they can. Bleacher Report writer Alex Ballentine suggests that the Texans should trade for New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne. “This loss made it clear that the Texans are going to miss…
At 6-3, the Houston Texans are in control of the AFC South. That doesn’t mean they should feel confident going forward — especially if they hope to make a run in the playoffs. Houston has a talented roster but has sent several players to the IR, including Stefon Diggs and Nico Collins. While Collins should…
Defensive reinforcements could be on the way soon for the Texans. Defensive end Jerry Hughes and cornerback Jeff Okudah returned to practice on Monday, per a team announcement. As a result, both players have had their 21-day activation windows opened. They must be moved to the active roster within that span or else they will…

The Atlanta Falcons pass rush broke out in Week 9 versus the Dallas Cowboys. They recorded multiple sacks for the first time since the season opener. The Falcons’ 3 sacks and 8 quarterback hits were season highs while the team’s 5 tackles for loss were their most since Week 1. But that won’t change the…
Following the Atlanta Falcons’ 27-21 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Falcons running back Bijan Robinson alternated between the hot and cold tub in the team’s locker room. Robinson was roughly half an hour removed from a career-high 26 touches, which he turned into a season-high 145 yards from scrimmage. The…
The Falcons win over the Cowboys extends their record to 6-3. It’s the first time since 2016 the club has reached that mark. Kirk Cousins, Bijan Robinson, Drake London, Darnell Mooney, and the defense were the stories of the afternoon. The veteran completed nearly 80% of his passes for 222 yards and three touchdowns. Two…
The Atlanta Falcons will be facing a new-look New Orleans Saints team when the two sides kickoff at 1 p.m. Sunday.

But according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, London’s absence isn’t expected to be long. “London will have tests done, but the belief is he suffered a hip pointer,”…
I don’t want to overlook Kaden Elliss, who had a resurgent game and got the game ball from Raheem Morris, and I certainly don’t want to downplay what Bijan Robinson did as the centerpiece of this game plan. Both were terrific, and both are deserving enough of the game’s most valuable player for the Atlanta…
