Nobody really expected to beat the Buffalo Bills last week. But a lot of us thought that maybe the Carolina Panthers could look competitive against them, even with the venerable Andy Dalton under center (Happy Birthday, buddy!). What we saw instead was so disheartening and played so directly against the established identity and strengths of […]
When I looked at team needs for the Buffalo Bills this past offseason, I placed defensive back as my top priority for improvement. While I was personally suggesting safety, corner was right up there with it. The Bills selected Maxwell Hairston with their first-round pick and it immediately felt like “Plan A” in addressing the […]

Last week, there was a comment on my Sackwatch article asking why I only break down the sacks the Chicago Bears allow, and not the sacks Chicago’s defense gets. I didn’t see the question until this week, so while I did answer it there, I also wanted to address it here in case anyone else […]

Watching Monday night’s tilt between the Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers was a little too much for Brian Branch. Serving a one-game suspension for his part in a post-game fight with Chiefs receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, Branch opted not to watch the game at all. It was just too much. “Watching them would make me […]
The New England Patriots traded safety Kyle Dugger to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Tuesday, but they will not entirely remove him from their pay roll. Besides his signing and offseason bonuses remaining on the team’s books, they will also pick up parts of Dugger’s remaining base salary for the 2025 NFL season. According to a […]
It feels good to be writing about a Miami Dolphins win for only the second time during the 2025 National Football League season. And really, it wasn’t just a win — it was a total domination of their opponent, the Atlanta Falcons. Miami went to Atlanta and snatched a 34-10 victory from the beaks of […]
The Buffalo Bills enter the midpoint of the 2025 season tight against the salary cap, sitting with about $2.5 million in available space according to Spotrac and OverTheCap. With recent injuries to account for and some glaring roster needs, general manager Brandon Beane’s only realistic options for in-season flexibility are a few extensions or restructures. […]
The 4-4 Carolina Panthers are still technically in the hunt for the playoffs, but hope is fading fast for a team that hasn’t been at or above .500 this late in the season since Week 8 of the 2021 season. All eyes this week are on Bryce Young. Look out for today’s injury report to […]

The New England Patriots acted quickly to fill one of the two roster spots created in the aftermath of trading Keion White and Kyle Dugger to San Francisco and Pittsburgh, respectively. Their plan is to bring rookie safety John Saunders Jr. aboard by poaching him from the Miami Dolphins practice squad. Let’s assess what adding […]
The Los Angeles Rams reportedly made move to potentially add Tyler Scott to their practice squad. In a week where the Rams placed Tutu Atwell on IR, made a trade for defensive back help and are potentially getting Puka Nacua back on the field, this news for Scott may fall under the radar, but worry […]
The Miami Dolphins are set up to be sellers at the trade deadline, and moving some players could lead to a quicker exit for head coach Mike McDaniel.
It’s one of those moments where last week’s Read & React — the Steelers’ defensive issues against the Bengals — could just be copy and pasted into this week’s edition. But to avoid repeating ourselves too much, this time around we’ll be looking ahead at the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 4 along with our […]
Indianapolis, IN — Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard has always had a knack for drafting offensive line talent. From one of the easiest choices of all time in selecting guard Quenton Nelson at the top of the draft to finding gems on Day 3 (Rounds 4-7), such as current starting center Tanor Bortolini and […]
The “Steel Curtain” from the seventies is showing its age in 2025 as the once vaunted defense from Pittsburgh is in need of some patch work. Unfortunately for them, they are facing a pair of shears in the Indianapolis Colts offense. Daniel Jones and co. are currently on a tear and are taking no prisoners […]
The Buffalo Bills shook off a two-game skid with authority, demolishing the Carolina Panthers 40-9, at Bank of America Stadium.

The Falcons have talked up Bertrand’s ability and effort in the […]
