It was not a good day for John Hussey’s officiating crew. One of the more noticeable things from the 49ers’ 34–24 win over the New York Giants on Sunday was how baffling some of the calls that fell on Hussey’s watch. The 49ers got away with a couple of things, too—notably a false start on […]
The Kansas City Chiefs’ margin of error disappeared a month ago. So to achieve their 2025 goals, they desperately needed a Week 9 victory over the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park — but instead, they allowed themselves to get taken out behind the woodshed on both sides of the line, getting bullied in the trenches. […]
Nobody cares who the MVP should be halfway through the season, but voters also like to have a decision made before the playoffs begin and Matthew Stafford’s case is as good as anyone’s. The quarterback in his 17th season is having a career year with a league-leading 21 touchdowns and only two interceptions, which in […]
The Miami Dolphins are open for business ahead of the 2025 NFL Trade Deadline. Tuesday’s 3 p.m. CT deadline for the NFL Trade Deadline is rapidly approaching, and the Dolphins are declaring they are open cut deals with teams. We’ll get to where the Chicago Bears fit into this momentarily, but first let’s share details of the deal new Dolphins Interim General Manager Champ Kelly (if that name sounds familiar to you, then I know that you are probably a long-time reader here) made with the P...
Are you ready for some football?! It’s time for Monday Night Football! Tonight’s contest pits the Dallas Cowboys against the Arizona Cardinals. Before tonight’s game kicks off in Arlington, here’s a look at some First TD odds, game lines, and other props for the matchup. Sep 15, 2024; Glendale, Arizona, USA; Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (18) catches a ball on the sideline in the first half against the Los Angeles Rams at State Farm Stadium. Mandatory Credi...
Miami Dolphins fans don't know how to feel after the team traded away edge rusher Jaelan Phillips.
The Los Angeles Rams had a nice win over the New Orleans Saints, the San Francisco 49ers beat up a New York Giants team, but the NFC West win of the weekend (the Arizona Cardinals will play on Monday Night Football) has to be the Seattle Seahawks blasting the Washington Commanders. Full disclosure, I was […]
7-2 after an ugly loss, where the offense had their worst performance by far this season, and even though the defense did their job in the end there is just no way to overcome SIX turnovers. Colts need to flip the page fast and get ready for their game against the Falcons in Europe before […]
That was a fantastic and fun roller-coaster-of-emotions type of game, with so many lead changes and improbable moments. On Sunday afternoon, the Chicago Bears beat the Cincinnati Bengals, 47-42. That was Chicago’s most points scored since 2018, when they put up 48. This was also the first time the Bears had ever won a game […]
The Cleveland Browns’ defense as a whole has performed well this season, even though there have still been many ups and downs. It is easy to highlight players like Myles Garrett for what they bring to the table, especially coming off his five-sack game against the New England Patriots. Looking at the rest of this […]
Please tell me you watched the Bears game yesterday. That was UNREAL . One of the wildest games in years, with the Bears blowing a huge lead late – in large part because of a brutally bogus call on a should-have-been-game-ending-pick-6 – and then somehow summoning the moxy to turn it right back around into a last-minute win. The MLB offseason has officially arrived, and this is the slate of dates and deadlines if you missed it or want to brush up. The first wave of deadlines comes on Th...
The Cleveland Browns are ranked dead last in the AFC North Division with a 2-6-0 record. Their schedule gets better as numerous struggling teams are ahead on the horizon. Currently, the Browns are three games out of first place in the division and the final AFC wild card spot. The Cleveland offense is absolutely horrible. […]
The Miami Dolphins needed to trade Jaelan Phillips, and interim general manager Champ Kelly got the best he could have hoped for in return.
Over his last two games, Julian Sayin has completed 56-of-65 passes for 709 yards, eight touchdowns, and no interceptions. Sayin’s accuracy is remarkable, and it’s drawing comparisons to one of the NFL’s most accurate quarterbacks. Meanwhile, the Buckeyes are a team driven by Sayin and their wide receiver tandem of Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate, […]
Sunday afternoon, the New Orleans Saints fell 34-10 to the Los Angeles Rams and to 1-8 on the season, which is now their worst start in 45 years. The Saints last started 1-8 way back in 1980, which is 8 years before head coach Kellen Moore was even born. Now, the Saints will have a […]

In Today’s Links: a flood of reactions to last night’s Seattle Seahawks’ prime-time victory over the Washington, DC Commanders, including numbers of note (especially from the first half of the ball game), what this victory means to our squad, where the ‘Hawks stand in the NFC play-off picture, reactions, videos, goofing off, and more.

After a rousing performance against the Atlanta Falcons in week eight — a game that saw Miami win by a score of 34-10 — the Dolphins came crashing back down to Earth in week nine when they hosted Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. Miami lost 28-6 — another defeat in […]
Without a doubt, the biggest storyline out of the Detroit Lions’ loss to the Minnesota Vikings was their poor offensive showing. After starting the game with an impressive six-play, 72-yard touchdown drive, here’s how the following seven drives went: Over those seven drives, the Lions averaged 2.27 yards per play. By the time they got […]
The New York Jets had a Week 9 bye. The team entered the week holding the second spot in the 2026 NFL Draft. By not playing and not losing, the team had a slight drop. Picks 19 through 32 are determined based on the results of Playoff games. The Jets have games remaining with three […]
The Los Angeles Rams (6-2) travel to take on the San Francisco 49ers (6-3) in Week 10 of the NFL season. FanDuel has L.A. by favored by -3.5 points, but the last time we saw these two teams play it was Week 5 on a Thursday night, and Frisco came into L.A. beat them by […]
There is always more than one way to look at these things. I suppose if we separate ourselves emotionally we can even manage to do that the day after. We predicted struggle earlier this week when we looked at the rankings in team sacks for the Texans’ opponents. We could also look at the fact […]
When the Green Bay Packers get into their facilities at Lambeau Field this morning, they will have a new, unwelcome challenge facing them. The coaching staff, particularly on offense, will have to figure out how to assemble a productive offense without one of their most important players. Tucker Kraft has become a do-it-all player for […]
The Dallas Cowboys are basically in a must-win situation this Monday night when they host the Arizona Cardinals. Dallas is 3-4-1 and have a bye week coming up. If they want to stay at all relevant in the playoff chase, they have to beat a struggling 2-5 Cardinals team. If Dallas can get to the […]
The Miami Dolphins have traded former first round pick, Jaelan Phillips to the Eagles.
