The Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle Grover Stewart blew up Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold on a second-quarter play to turn the tide of the contest early. After Stewart forced the fumble, cornerback Kenny Moore II scooped up the live ball and scored a long defensive touchdown. The Colts had been stagnant offensively with Joe Flacco under center, leaning mostly on Jonathan Taylor for offensive progression. Earlier in the game…
A former NFL official believes that Indianapolis Colts defensive lineman Grover Stewart should have been penalized for his hit on Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold during Sunday Night Football. During the broadcast on NBC, Terry McAulay, a rules analyst, said that Stewart hit Darnold in the head, which should be a personal foul penalty. “That’s a pretty big blow to the head from the…
The Green Bay Packers outgained the Detroit Lions, 411 yards to 261 on Sunday. They had 20 first downs, against 17 from the opponent. Yet, Green Bay lost 24-14 — and it was 24-6 until late in the fourth down. Certainly, Jordan Love‘s pick-six was a part of it. But head coach Matt LaFleur is more concerned about another factor….
Sunday’s game was supposed to be a showdown between two heavyweights fighting for first place in the NFC North. When the game started, it looked like we were well on our way to an old-fashioned slugfest that would make Wayne Fontes and Mike Holmgren proud. The only slugging that took place was the mighty fist…
Several reports have suggested the Detroit Lions have interest in Za’Darius Smith, and when the topic of being traded to Detroit was brought up to him it seemed he was on-board. “But if I was to go to Detroit, I would like it”, Smith said back in October, after Aidan Hutchinson’s injury, “because I get to play…
The Pittsburgh Steelers have had plenty of elite defenders throughout the history of the franchise, but one of the best defenders in the team’s history is on the current roster in TJ Watt. He became the franchise’s all-time sack leader during the 2023 season, and he just eclipsed 100 career sacks back in Week 5…
Amon-Ra St. Brown arrived in Green Bay wearing a sweatshirt that read “Green Bay Sucks” as the Detroit Lions prepare to play a division rival. No love lost between those teams we see. The Lions are 6-1 on the season while the Packers are 6-2 going into Sunday afternoon. St. Brown might start a movement among Lions fans,…
The Pittsburgh Steelers have quite the dilemma to face once the 2024 season comes to a close. Both Justin Fields and Russell Wilson will become free agents after their contracts expire unless they agree to a new deal with Pittsburgh before free agency opens up. Pittsburgh has been in quarterback-purgatory ever since Ben Roethlisberger announced…
Another weekend, another Dallas Cowboys loss. In their 27-21 Week 9 loss, the Cowboys could not keep up with the pace of the Atlanta Falcons, dropping them to 3-5 on the season. Before we get into the inevitable coaching changes that will take place sooner rather than later, here are four takeaways from the disappointing Week 9 outing….
Time is running out for the Pittsburgh Steelers to trade for a wide receiver before the deadline hits on November 5th. While they weren’t allowed to re-acquire Diontae Johnson, it still hurts to see him go to their hated rivals in the Baltimore Ravens, partially because that is one less receiver available on the open…
It’s tough for a fanbase to maintain hope for a season when their team isn’t winning. As long as there are games remaining on a schedule, anything is possible, but when a club continues to suffer major injuries to augment their self-inflicted wounds, sooner or later people stop believing. And that’s for the ones who…
The Pittsburgh Steelers have put serious draft capital into improving their offensive line for the past two offseasons. They selected two offensive tackles with their last two first-round picks: Broderick Jones out of the University of Georgia and Troy Fautanu out of the University of Washington. Both Jones and Fautanu played on the left side…
