Getting you set up for tonight’s Jets game.
For second time in three years against the Vikings defense, Justin Herbert had a stellar performance that culminated in one of the best PFF single-game grades of his career. Despite throwing a pick, and nearly one other, Herbert finished with 227 passing yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for 62 yards as he consistently […]
The wait is over, and the future is now in the Big Easy. New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore has informed the team that rookie quarterback Tyler Shough will take the reins as the new starting signal-caller, sending Spencer Rattler to the bench, as first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Rattler has put the […]
The Los Angeles Rams return from their much-needed bye week to face the New Orleans Saints at SoFi Stadium. Just days before the Saints get to town, they announced that rookie quarterback Tyler Shough will make his first career start against the Rams. Not an ideal first start, but a change was needed under center […]
“We going up, up, up, it’s our moment…” Any father of a kindergarten-aged-or-older kid, especially a girl, knows what that means. (Then again, so do most people who don’t live under a rock.) But as the KPop Demon Hunters find out (spoilers if you haven’t seen it!), the path to that final triumphant moment is […]
The Cleveland Browns, along with the New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, are in a unique position with their bye week coming the week before the NFL trade deadline. For losing teams like the Browns and Jets, it is a chance to get a jump on the market and, potentially, allow contending […]
After the Carson Wentz impending surgery and move to IR, the Vikings will need to add another QB to the team. The current raging topic is about how the team and, specifically, KOC handled Wentz in the Chargers game. There are plenty of fans who feel it was inexcusable to leave him in the game […]
The Los Angeles Rams will be without wide receiver Tutu Atwell for at least the next four weeks. Atwell was placed on injured reserve on Monday as he continues to manage a hamstring injury. The Rams wide receiver returned to action against the Jacksonville Jaguars after being inactive for the game against the Baltimore Ravens […]
The Falcons hit rock bottom in a blowout loss to the Dolphins in Week 8. Kevin Knight and Tre’Shon Diaz break down the film, discussing systematic issues with the offense, questions about Raheem Morris’ leadership, and trying to figure out why Jeff Ulbrich has so much faith in JD Bertrand. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another […]
Justin Fields’ Week 8 success for the Jets in their win over the Cincinnati Bengals was a surprise to many of us. It continues one of the biggest roller coaster seasons in recent memory. ESPN’s QBR metric grades quarterbacks on a scale of 1 to 100 based on their play. Week 8 was his sixth […]
The Steelers have added a new face at safety following DeShon Elliott’s injury against the Green Bay Packers. According to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Steelers are signing safety Darrick Forrest to the practice squad. Forrest was a fifth-round draft pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Washington Commanders, where he […]
San Francisco 49ers edge rusher Sam Okuayinonu went down with an injury in the fourth quarter against the Houston Texans and is now considered day-to-day with an ankle injury. The team won’t have Bryce Huff for another week. Yetur Gross-Matos has been a rotational pass rusher. That leaves Mykel Williams, Robert Beal, and William Bradley-King, […]
The Dallas Cowboys fell to the Denver Broncos at Mile-High, but what did the rookie class do during the game that stood out? Check out how each rookie played in the defeat. OG Tyler Booker (Game stats- Snaps: 74, Pass Blocks: 46, Pressures: 1, Sacks: 0, Penalties: 0) In pass protection, Booker’s technique did the […]
Colts Defense NOT “bend don’t break!” Cornerbacks improving each week, says Anarumo!
Waiver Wire Week 9 Week 8 reshuffled everything. Cam Skattebo dislocated his ankle and is out indefinitely. Jayden Daniels missed another game with a hamstring strain. Luther Burden III exited with a concussion, and Quinshon Judkins is nursing a shoulder injury. That’s four key roles in flux and multiple offenses scrambling to adjust. This is […]
The Rams and Saints once had a great rivalry, playing against each other twice per season from 1970 until 2002 realignment, but still going back and forth with barn burners most of the time after that change. That includes one of the most memorable playoff games of recent NFL history, a 26-23 Rams OT win […]
As the Detroit Lions take the practice field in preparation for Sunday’s divisional matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, coach Dan Campbell provided a few injury updates both for this week and the future. And it was mostly good news on all accounts. Starting with running back Sione Vaki, who has missed the last four games […]
Per The Athletic’s Joe Person, the Carolina Panthers signed Trevis Gipson off the San Francisco 49ers practice squad. Gipson, who was out of elevations, would have needed to be promoted full-time to the 49ers’ active roster if he were to play again. Despite releasing Gipson, your elevations do not reset when you re-sign. So, the […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has given up nearly 1,000 yards and 68 points over their last two games. They currently rank 30th in total defense, 25th in defensive EPA per play, and 22nd in success rate. So naturally, Mike Tomlin began his Tuesday press conference by blaming the offense for the Steelers’ loss to the […]
The Arizona Cardinals made a couple of roster moves yesterday, one of which releasing veteran running back Michael Carter. The surprise is that with Trey Benson still on the injured reserve for one more week, they only have Bam Knight and recently ailing Emari Demercado on the depth chart. It sounds like per Josh Weinfuss […]
If you’re fed up with the penalty problems plaguing your favorite football team right now, just know that you are not alone and that Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson is right there with you. When discussing the penalty issues on ESPN 1000-AM, this is what the first-year head coach had to say: "We're here as coaches, we're gonna help support these guys & be along with them…but it would go a long way if we just had a little bit more ownership in that locker room to take the bull by...
The regular season is nearly halfway over, and teams will start being eliminated from playoff contention by the end of next month. Tampa Bay is in position to make a playoff push and maintains a comfortable lead over the division. The rest of the South suffered a loss, and none seem like playoff contenders. Here […]
I don’t know if I jinxed anything by talking up the Giants’ replacement bullpen that pitched them through August, but let’s stand back and admire the scale at which the whole thing crashed and burned in September. Their 4.39 ERA was not the worst in the sport (it was merely 20th), nor was their 4.31 […]
The last selection left in Foxborough from the 2022 draft class will be staying around. The New England Patriots have reached agreement with Marcus Jones on a contract extension, the organization announced Tuesday. As first reported by NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, it is a three-year deal for the all-purpose cornerback. Jones, who […]
As the Las Vegas Raiders return from their bye this week, let’s look at how their rookie class has fared so far this season: Ashton Jeanty: The No. 6 overall draft pick has been on the field for 68 percent of the Raiders’ offensive snaps. He has 445 rushing yards (14th most in the NFL […]
