On the Detroit Lions’ final injury report of the week in the lead up to their Christmas Day bout with the Minnesota Vikings, the team did not even list starting center Graham Glasgow with an injury designation. He was good to go after tallying two full practices this week—albeit in walkthroughs, not actual practices. So […]
In Today’s Links: an examination of the deviations between our Seattle Seahawks and the Carolina Panthers, Josh Jones looks to be starting again in place of the injured Charles Cross, a bit on Mike Jackson and his view of Sunday’s match-up with his former team, Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s chances of being named the NFL’s Offensive Player […]
We are several days removed from the Houston Texans disappointing victory over the woeful Las Vegas Raiders. They hit the 10-win mark but limp into an important matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. After the Raiders game, I asked the other writers of Battle Red Blog to express their frustrations with the team. And vent […]
The Dallas Cowboys did one thing really well on Christmas, and it won them a ballgame. They ran the ball through the middle of the Washington Commanders defense. They trucked the middle of Washington’s defense to the tune of 211 yards. Much of that number came from an unexpected source – Malik Davis. The running […]
The 5-10 New Orleans Saints will head to Nashville for a date with the 3-12 Tennessee Titans this weekend. As the season winds down and both teams are already eliminated from postseason contention, this Sunday will serve as an opportunity to earn valuable reps for young, developing players and put bragging rights on the line. […]
Cleveland Browns fans are disappointed in their team over the last two years, with most calling for HC Kevin Stefanski to be fired and many others believing GM Andrew Berry should join him on the unemployment line. There are reports that Berry will be safe to build off his very good 2025 NFL draft class […]
The Atlanta Falcons had some daunting matchups heading into 2025, but a few of them turned out to be easier than expected. The Buffalo Bills were in a downswing when Atlanta saw them—though they did a very nice job of shutting them down, regardless—and the Vikings and Buccaneers have been far worse than expected. They […]
With two games left in the 2025 NFL season, the Cleveland Browns are clearly in 2026 NFL draft mode. The Pittsburgh Steelers could end up ruining the Browns draft plans in Week 17, as the AFC North playoff picture could be settled before the game even kicks off. We had two games on Christmas Day […]
Fans of the Cleveland Browns are understandably frustrated with the performance of their team. Only eternal optimists (waving hello from the other side of the keyboard) or delusional fans thought the Browns would be a playoff-caliber squad. The betting win totals told a story about what proper expectations for the team should have been going […]
The Miami Dolphins will need to get creative this offseason if they are going to find a trade partner for Tua Tagovailoa.
Our offense vs. their defense: Tennessee Titans With this being a much closer matchup than last week, anything could happen.

Saints of Christmas Past: Looking back at a […]
The Chicago Bears are officially in the playoffs for the first time since 2020. As it currently stands, they are in line to host their first home playoff game since 2018. Furthermore, they are one game out from getting a first-round bye since 2010. The only thing that we know is that the Bears are […]
Welp, the season is over. Although there is still a game next week against the Chicago Bears, the Detroit Lions have nothing to play for but a winning record. Heading into the Christmas Day showdown against the Minnesota Vikings, the Lions still had the possibility of making the playoffs. What they needed was to win […]
Quick: What NFC pass rusher with double-digit sack numbers was the only player not voted to this year’s Pro Bowl? If you said the Arizona Cardinals EDGE rusher Josh Sweat, you would be correct. He has 11.0 sacks and was not named to the Pro Bowl as a starter, reserve, or alternate. RELATED: TREY MCBRIDE […]
Well it has certainly been an interesting off-season, right? Who would have picked the Cardinals to pay such a large proportion of Boston’s 2026 payroll and NOT have it involve Nolan Arenado? Anyway, I’m not much of a hot-take guy (it is a good thing others are). Instead, today I go off-topic again. During the […]
The Cleveland Browns take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17 as the AFC North winds down the 2025 NFL season with a lot of questions at key spots heading into the 2026 NFL season. The first injury report of the week was loaded with players limited or not practicing at all. The Browns decided […]

The Cleveland Browns have only played one game on Christmas Day ever – a heartbreaking 24-22 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Baker Mayfield threw four interceptions in this game, and many fans remember this game as a pivotal moment that contributed to his departure from Cleveland. On the Packers’ side of things, this was an important […]
If the Miami Dolphins are looking for a new quarterback, the Baltimore Ravens may be able to provide them with one, per a new report.
The Detroit Lions are not in a good place right now. They’ve been eliminated from playoff contention, they’re on a three-game losing streak, and they’re currently playing some of the worst football they’ve played in the Dan Campbell era. It’s extremely concerning to see the team take this big of a step back and do […]
After taking a break on Christmas Day, the Zona Mista is back as we get ready for the final weekend of 2025. And this one will have a little different twist on it. Since it was Christmas and things were pretty quiet for many over the past 24 hours, we’re going to go ahead and […]
Instant Reactions: Cowboys snap three-game skid with Christmas Day win over Commanders – Ali Jawad, DLLS Sports The Cowboys snapped their three-game losing streak with a road win in Washington. This was arguably the worst performance of the season by a Cowboys defense that has cornered the market on being bad. The Cowboys turned a […]
The Washington Commanders hosted the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas, and were defeated 30-23. That loss dropped them to 4-12 for the season, with one game left to play. With Washington out of playoff contention, fan focus has turned to next year’s draft, and where the team will be picking next April. The Commanders were projected […]
The New York Jets will play their final home game of this season when they take on the New England Patriots on Sunday. The Jets have just two home wins this season, and a third on Sunday does not seem particularly likely. The Patriots at 12-3 are tied with the Seattle Seahawks for the second […]
The New England Patriots came close to dropping a second straight game in Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens, but managed to erase an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter to return to the win column.
