While speaking to reporters after the Packers defeated the Texans 24-22. Diggs explained how he and Alexander got into it. “I was walking to the locker room at the beginning of the game, and…
The New England Patriots dropped their Week 7 contest 32-16 to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Sunday to fall to 1-6 on the year. Here is who caught our eye for better or worse upon live viewing. Loser: Coaching staff. Starting on offense, play caller Alex Van Pelt had an impressive opening script with motion and play-action that helped…
The Houston Astros entered unfamiliar territory this season. For the first time in eight years, they were not one of two teams involved in the American League Championship Series. The Astros were eliminated in the Wild Card round by the Detroit Tigers. They did not win a playoff series for the first time since losing the NLDS in 2001….
The Boston Red Sox will be looking to upgrade their roster significantly this offseason. They’re stuck in the daunting AL East that features the young and improving Baltimore Orioles, the aggressively-buying Toronto Blue Jays and the AL Pennant winning New York Yankees. If Boston doesn’t act aggressively, they will be left to rot in the basement of the AL East. Boston is going…
The Red Sox are nearing a deal to hire Taylor Smith for an unspecified analytics-based role in the club’s front office, according to MassLive.com’s Sean McAdam and Chris Cotillo. Smith could be joining the ranks as an assistant general manager, which would presumably also come with some type of VP title like Boston’s other four assistant…
The Las Vegas Raiders are not a good football team. That was the hope going into this season in the first full year under Antonio Pierce, who the players wanted and who promised a more consistent, stable product. But the Raiders, the only team under .500 in the AFC West, are a bitterly disappointing 2-5…
The Bears are in a different stage of development. Anyone hoping they’ll get involved in the trading “frenzy” prior to the Nov. 5 deadline must realize progress has occurred and they should temper their expectations. When they were in Year 1 and struggling under GM Ryan Poles and coach Matt Eberflus, it was a selloff….
The New York Jets suffered another severe injury in Sunday’s game. The team was taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday Night Football, and it was looking to hold onto a two-point lead early in the second half.

Here’s the flip side to Saquon Barkley’s monster day in the Eagles’ 28-3 beatdown of the New York Giants on Sunday – the receiver’s production, or lack thereof. Quarterback Jalen Hurts only attempted 14 passes. He’s had games where he’s thrown that many times in one quarter. He was 10-for-14 for 114 yards. Half of…
The Indianapolis Colts are hosting running back Austin Jones for a workout on Monday (per @Justin M_NFL | X). Jones, 23, spent his college career at USC and Stanford for five seasons. The Colts reportedly expressed interest in him before the 2024 NFL Draft but opted not to make a move for him. Jones spent the summer with the Washington Commanders before getting cut….
The New England Patriots ended up falling once again this morning to the Jacksonville Jaguars by a final score of 32-16. Despite having a matchup that was very winnable, they struggled in too many aspects of the game to pull off the win. While the team as a whole did not play well, Drake Maye had a very solid…
The last time the New England Patriots surrendered a punt return touchdown before Sunday, their head coach was still an active player. Then as now, Jerod Mayo had to watch from the sideline as special teams failed the Patriots. In 2015 against the Philadelphia Eagles, the result was an 83-yard runback by Darren Sproles. In 2024, the distance…
