The Las Vegas Raiders have enough issues on offense as it is with bad quarterback play, no rushing attack and an inconsistent offensive line, but making things worse this season has been the play-calling, which is best described as scared. We saw yet another example of this during the Week 8 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, when…
The Bears lost a heartbreaker on Sunday, as Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed a Hail Mary as time expired to give Washington an 18-15 victory. The game itself was sloppy, as Chicago couldn’t get anything going on offense until the second half, but the biggest mistake appeared to happen on the Hail Mary itself. Cornerback Tyrique…
On National Tight End Day, of course, George Kittle had to score. As the 49ers faced 3rd-and-goal from the Cowboys’ two-yard line midway through the third quarter, quarterback Brock Purdy found Kittle in the flat for an easy touchdown to extend the lead to 10. While the referees initially called wide receiver Chris Conley for offensive…
The Philadelphia Eagles improved to 3-0 since the bye week following Sunday’s 37-17 rout of the Cincinnati Bengals. They’re also 3-0 and dominating on defense since inserting rookie Cooper DeJean into the starting lineup. DeJean’s lack of playing time at the beginning of the season was as puzzling as it was frustrating for fans, especially with the defense struggling in…
The Cowboys will take on the 49ers for Week 8’s “Sunday Night Football” matchup. Both teams that were expected to be powerhouses in the NFC have dealt with slow starts to the season marred by big injuries. Dallas is 3-3 and is coming off a 47-9 loss to the Detroit Lions — the second blowout…
The Houston Rockets are showing interest in Texas native and Miami Heat superstar, Jimmy Butler, per Marc Stein. Butler grew up 30 minutes outside of Houston, in Tomball, Texas, and it could be a sort of homecoming for him. “The Rockets are also increasingly mentioned by monitoring rivals as a team to watch should Miami ever reach a…
The Boston Red Sox have 10 players set to hit the market when the World Series between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers concludes in the next week or so. At that point, Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow and his team will have to decide what to do about all those pending free…
The Atlanta Braves are very good at what they do. Though Atlanta is a big-market team, they don’t bully their way to the top like the Los Angeles Dodgers or New York Yankees. They’re a player development machine, and they’re also the masters of locking their young stars up on long-term extensions. In recent seasons,…
The Detroit Lions absolutely spanked the Tennessee Titans at Ford Field in Week 8, and wide receiver and return man Kalif Raymond played a huge part in that. Raymond, who was facing his former team, notched both a receiving and punt return touchdown during the contest. He is the first player in franchise history to accomplish that feat in…
Green Bay is no exception to the quarterback injury bug. In the third quarter of the Packers’ Week 8 game against the Jaguars in Jacksonville, Jordan Love went down after a collision with defensive end Travon Walker. The 25-year-old Love appeared to limp after the hit, and soon he bent over and put his hands…
The Browns came into Week 8 just 1-6 but looking to steal a divisional win against the Ravens to find some momentum. However, as Cleveland kept the game close deep into the second half, it lost one of its top defensive pieces due to an injury. Linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, the Browns’ leader in tackles so…
