The Minnesota Vikings approach the midpoint of their season with the most impressive and unlikely win of the season at Detroit to get back to .500 at 4-4. They are also 2-0 in division games and a game and a half out of first place in the NFC North. Considering all the injuries and poor […]
The Washington Commanders are 3-6 after a 38-14 home loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football. They were never in the game, going down 28-0 before Jayden Daniels ran one in for a touchdown, only to watch the Seahawks drive down the field with less than a minute in the half to get […]

The NFC West is the best division in the NFL and that was even more apparent in Week 9 as the Rams, 49ers, and Seahawks won their games by a combined score of 109-48. The 49ers were the “worst” NFC West team of the day and that’s even with Mac Jones at quarterback and going […]

The New York Jets are coming off their bye week after finally winning their first game of the year against the Cincinnati Bengals a week ago.

The Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers were on the bye this week, so the Green Bay Packers could have put space between themselves and the rest of the conference.

The Seattle Seahawks (6-2) kicked off to the Washington Commanders (3-6) to begin Sunday Night Football, then proceeded to kick their asses for 60 minutes.

With five fourth quarter and overtime lead changes and 24 points scored, a game that started slow turned out to be anything but, as the Jaguars won by one point on the road on Sunday. The score in this game was 6-9 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, yet, somehow ended with nearly 60 […]
