That’s a wrap on the regular season for the 2025 Los Angeles Rams. LA next takes the field on Saturday afternoon on the road against the Carolina Panthers, winners of the NFC South division. Before we fully turn our attention to the postseason, let’s take a glance in the rear view mirror and assess standpoint […]

A weekend departure is on track to be back at Gillette Stadium. Defensive tackle Jeremiah Pharms Jr. intends to re-sign with the New England Patriots’ practice squad after clearing waivers on Monday, as reported by Mike Reiss of ESPN. The 6-foot-2, 300-pound free agent had been let go from the 53-man roster to make room […]
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry acknowledged on Monday what everyone who watched the team play this season already knew full well. No, it’s not how difficult it is to win with an ownership group that can’t get out of its own way, but rather that the Browns likely do not currently have a viable […]
Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell put a cap on the team’s 2026 season on Monday afternoon with a relatively brief press conference. In an 11-minute session, Campbell expressed his frustrations about what went wrong this year, talked about some vague plans for what’s next, and gave himself a very harsh grade for how he handled […]
For three quarters, the Chicago Bears looked like a team sleepwalking towards the end of the season, while the Detroit Lions played with passion and urgency. Through three quarters, one team was playing to prove something to the NFL, while the other was playing like they were content to be there. And then the fourth […]
The Cleveland Browns’ defense could have crumbled a few weeks ago, but instead, they stepped up in the final two weeks of the season, playing as hungry as you can get for a once- 3-12 team, to finish with two straight wins. Things were a little rough early on against the Bengals, but they, despite […]
The Cleveland Browns’ offense had another rough day, as they were held to 200 yards of offense and couldn’t sustain drives against a defense that was, at one point this season, on a historically-bad stretch. However, Cleveland did have two notable offensive drives: a seven-minute drive to begin the second half (leading to a field […]
It’s the playoffs. The Green Bay Packers are going to play the Chicago Bears. This will probably be my only post this week talking about the 2026 regular season, but I do want to talk about the Packers’ 2026 schedule just a little bit, considering that their opponents are now locked in. If you missed […]
Good evening! For everybody coming back to work after the holidays, hope today went as smoothly as possible on your return back to the office. For everybody else, I just hope you’re having a nice evening out there. The floor is now yours. Here’s a random clip:
Monday marked a big day in the NFL. There are 14 teams preparing for the playoffs while 18 others are looking in the mirror, probably not exactly the case for some, in an attempt to be a part of that former group in a year’s time. The Dallas Cowboys have missed out on the proverbial […]
Las Vegas Raiders general manager John Spytek met with the media on Monday after firing coach Pete Carroll after just one season. Here are some highlights: Spytek, who was hired just days before Carroll, took responsibility for the team’s 3-14 record and said that accountability begins and ends with him. “I bear a ton of […]
That old saying, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure,” is often very true in the NFL. Whether it is NFL free agency, trades, or in the coaching carousel, teams are often recycling pieces that failed to stick with another team for one reason or another. As was predicted multiple times over the last few […]
Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn spoke to the media after the players cleaned out their lockers as they prepare for the offseason. The Commanders’ season was a disappointment, and didn’t meet their standards. They plan out evaluating the roster and coaching staff, but weren’t ready to announcing any changes […]
Carlie Irsay-Gordon vaguely and partially explains retention of Ballard & Steichen!
Tyrique Stevenson was notably absent in Sunday’s Chicago Bears loss to the Detroit Lions. Stevenson was active for the Week 18 regular-season finale, but didn’t log a single defensive snap. Meanwhile, Sunday’s loss to the Detroit Lions was a rough watch. Particularly for the defense, but especially in the defensive secondary. Detroit consistently found space in coverage, piling up production against a Bears cornerback rotation that leaned heavily on Jaylon Johnson, Nahshon Wright, and C.J...
Marshall defensive tackle Naquan Crowder has committed to transferring to Minnesota. He finished this season with 26 total tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack, three quarterback hurries, one pass break-up, and one forced fumble for the Thundering Herd. Crowder has two years of eligibility remaining. This is a critical addition for the Golden Gophers […]
With the Detroit Lions’ season officially coming to a close last Sunday, the team can now begin building its 90-man roster for the offseason. The Lions entered the offseason with 36 players under contract, but on Monday, they announced they’ve added another 12 players: re-signing three exclusive rights free agents (ERFAs) and nine former practice […]
The Chicago Bears were hoping to end the 2025 regular season with some momentum, but following their loss to the Detroit Lions, they seemingly ended the season with more concerns than reasons to feel optimistic about the playoffs. The game was certainly a much closer affair than the 31 point loss the Bears suffered to […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have released veteran defensive back Tre Flowers. Pittsburgh signed Flowers on Christmas Day after he was released by the Detroit Lions at the end of November. He appeared in just one game for the Steelers, that coming in Week 17 where he played two special teams snaps in the 13-6 loss to […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have successfully escaped the two-week period in which star wideout DK Metcalf served his suspension. The discipline came after Metcalf attempted to strike a Detroit Lions fan who was taunting Pittsburgh’s WR1. Despite his antics, the Steelers were still able to squeeze out a playoff berth with their win over Baltimore on […]
The Miami Dolphins seem poised to keep their current coaching staff in place going into 2026, unless another team steals this coach during hiring season.
The Las Vegas Raiders officially made Pete Carroll a one-and-done head coach by firing Carroll on “Black Monday”. That adds to the list of failed head coaches in Las Vegas, as the next man in charge will be the organization’s sixth (including interims) since moving to the city in 2020. So, where does Carroll’s tenure […]
Buffalo Bills running back James Cook III has put together an incredible campaign in 2025, having just claimed the NFL rushing title, finishing with 1,621 rushing yards — and over the likes of Derrick Henry, Jonathan Taylor, Christian McCaffrey, and Bijan Robinson. In short, Cook has paid massive dividends for the Bills since signing his […]
That last game not withstanding, the 2025 season was a pretty good one for Arizona. The nine wins were an improvement of five from the year before, and on the grading front there was also a big leap according to Pro Football Focus. The UA graded out at 87.7 for the season, ranking 31st out […]
