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. Offensive lineman Xavier Newman was carted off the field after suffering an apparent injury. He suffered a…
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…
The San Francisco 49ers just lost yet again to the Kansas City Chiefs, this time by a score of 28-18. Here are the 49ers’ grades for this embarrassing performance. QUARTERBACK: F This was the worst performance of Brock Purdy’s career. He was 17 of 31 passing for 212 yards, 1 touchdown run, 3 interceptions and a…
In some 2-minute situations in the past, Jordan Love tried too hard to be the hero. The Green Bay Packers’ 2023 season ended in the playoffs at San Francisco when the quarterback tossed an ill-advised, cross-body throw into the hands of a defender. But against the Houston Texans on Sunday, the second-year starter played some…
The Green Bay Packers entered Sunday’s game against the Texans an NFL-best plus-9 in turnovers. They were minus-3 against Houston but won, anyway, 24-22. “It’s hard to overcome losing the turnover battle by three in this league; I don’t know if we’ve ever done that and still come out and find a way to win…
The Los Angeles Rams defense, a unit that ranked fifth-last in the NFL heading into Week 5, forced four turnovers from the Las Vegas Raiders to earn a 20-15 win, their second victory of the season. A Rams team that features one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL in Matthew Stafford relied on the…
There has been a lot of chatter around the Chicago Bears, with the 2024 National Football League trade deadline quickly approaching. Chicago is in a good spot right now. The Bears are 4-2 on the season so far and have looked like a team that is ready to take another step in the right direction. Chicago…
The New England Patriots have struggles with the run game on both sides of the ball. But specifically on the defensive side, they were letting the Jacksonville Jaguars run all over them in Sunday’s loss. And Keion White kept it real what’s going wrong. “I see that we’re not stopping the run. As simple as…
