Waiver Wire Week 8 Week 7 delivered another wave of chaos. Mike Evans broke his collarbone and will miss most of the season.

Four in a row! Th Chicago Bears have won four football games in a row. I didn’t even think that was allowed anymore. I mean, I knew it was allowed but it sure felt like the Bears weren’t allowed to win that many games in a row. I still wouldn’t categorize the Bears as a […]

During the first month of the season, Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua appeared to be a lock for Offensive Player of the Year.

This is a Ben Johnson appreciation post. The Chicago Bears have never been a team known for its offensive prowess. Because even when it has had elite, Hall of Fame-caliber offensive playmakers, the defense still took center stage. But with that being said, the Ben Johnson era could be different. At a minimum, we are starting to see the tide turn for a team that is starting to show its offensive chops. MORE ON THE BEARS WEEK 7 WIN: Recap | Grades | Dennis Allen Appreciation | ...
See, I told you there was nothing to worry about. I was never in doubt that Brian Callahan would figure out the offensive line, Greg Harbaugh Jr would call a great game to get the ground game going and Danny Collins’ defense would keep Nebraska out of the end zone and putting Dylan Raiola on […]
Last week, the Kansas City Chiefs were an easy call to move up in power rankings after a 30-17 win over the Detroit Lions. This week, a 31-0 shutout of the Las Vegas Raiders continued the trend. Every power ranking we’re tracking moved them up again — including a few with the Chiefs at the […]
Injuries have been ramping up for the San Francisco 49ers, who found a way to improve to 5-2 on Sunday with a 20-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

The Detroit Lions continue to find new ways to win football games. Their victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7 brought both teams’ records to 5-2, but the manner in which the Lions pulled off the win was in a way nobody saw coming. Let’s take a look at this week’s snap counts […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers fell to 4-2 after a rough defensive outing against the Bengals last Thursday.

However, one of their captains will be out […]

The Chargers were on the wrong end of a beatdown inside their own stadium this past Sunday at the hands of the Colts. The defense was non-existent in the first half and was only marginally better after halftime. Offensively, Justin Herbert threw for 420 yards and three scores but that somehow wasn’t enough after throwing […]
It doesn't sound like Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel wants to continue starting Tua Tagovailoa.
If you were looking at the schedule and circling games where Caleb Williams could stack TDs and run up some yardage, the Saints would have been an easy choice. Alas, that’s why they play the games. Caleb finished this one with only 172 yards and no touchdowns. Statistically, this was his worst game of the […]

Stock Up Daniel Jones Miss me with the game-manager tag, Daniel Jones is a legit franchise quarterback. He does everything within the Colts’ offense so well, hitting all parts of the field, and this time was finally accurate in the redzone, delivering a floater above a defensive linemen to MPJ to convert on 4th and […]

I’ve been writing for this site for going on five years now. I have been watching Houston Texans football since they beat Dallas 19-7. I have been watching Houston NFL football since the late 1970s. At no point did it ever feel like work. Last night did. A lot of it was a quick turnaround […]
Sorry, Matt LaFleur, this week’s game is at least a little bit about Aaron Rodgers. The Packers’ head coach can downplay the fact that the guy who won four MVPs and a Super Bowl with the Packers is now on the opposing sideline, but it doesn’t detract from the significance of the matchup. Rodgers is […]
