In the lead up to Week 8, I felt like the Philadelphia Eagles needed to make a statement against the New York Giants. The Birds needed to get back at the team that embarrassed them on a national stage in Week 6. My stance on the Eagles needing to score style points softened once we […]
Last week, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett said that Green Bay Packers fans making the trip out west forced the Cardinals’ offense to have to use their silent count at home. This isn’t anything new for the Packers, one of the bigger fan bases in the league, but it does seem to be a recurring […]
The Green Bay Packers made one clear benching against the Pittsburgh Steelers, while they opened up competitions at two other positions. On top of that, the team returned receiver Christian Watson and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt from injury. So how do all of these pieces of the puzzle fit in? Let’s go position-by-position through the […]
In August of 2022, then-AEW Champion Jon Moxley cut a promo on CM Punk, with the now-infamous tagline being four words: “Weak mind, weak spirit.” Who knew that those words would also perfectly encapsulate the Pittsburgh Steelers?

It didn’t end up mattering at the end, but for the first half of the Green Bay Packers’ win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, it looked like kicker Brandon McManus was going to cost them the game.

Before kickoff between the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers, all anyone could talk about was the matchup featuring Aaron Rodgers playing against his old team for the first time.

The San Francisco 49ers entered Week 8 as the top team in the NFC West, but their loss to the Houston Texans dropped them into wild card position and barely hanging on to that. It wasn’t that long ago that San Francisco was the top team in the NFC. The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles […]
