Every week, someone in the comments inevitably writes that they do not care about power rankings. Even though they looked at the article and took the time to comment. That’s all well and good. It’s why we write the content. We say we don’t care, but the clicks say otherwise. So you don’t have to […]
With a pair of practice squad roster spots available, it makes sense that the Chicago Bears hosted more than a handful of players for tryouts on Tuesday. And while the Bears have bigger fish to fry, there is nothing wrong with bringing in some players who could conceivably round out the practice squad as we get deeper into December. A little depth never hurt anyone. Plus, it is always good to freshen up the Rolodex every once in a while. Bears Host 7 Players For Tryouts The Tribune’s...
Position: Safety Height: 6’0 Weight: 205 Stats: 2025 (13 games) – 60 tackles, 5 TFL, sack, 2 INT, 2 PBU | 24/37, 150 yds, 50.5 QBR allowed | 10% missed tackle rate Class/Age: Junior, 21 Team: Ohio State Positives: Downs holds a good build and frame for the safety position, with good muscle mass and […]
After what seemed to be a season-crushing loss to the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football, the Los Angeles Chargers cracked the door back open for the Dallas Cowboys to make a run at the NFC East. The Cowboys still have plenty of work to do, needing to sweep the rest of their schedule that […]
Getting you set up for tonight’s Jets game.
The Philadelphia Eagles waived long snapper Cal Adomitis on Tuesday, according to an official team announcement. Adomitis joined the Eagles back on September 30 after 35-year-old Charley Hughlett suffered an injury that required him to go on injured reserve. Adomitis hasn’t noticeably struggled with snapping the ball but it’s fair to point out that Jake […]
This week’s Green Bay Packers depth chart update is going to be a little longer than usual, because we’ll be covering what happened in both Week 13 and Week 14. Because of that, I split this up into offense and defense (for this week only), so keep an eye out for the companion piece out […]
The Kentucky Wildcats return to Rupp Arena tonight as they welcome the North Carolina Central Eagles to Lexington. Game time is set for 7 PM ET on the SEC Network. Looking to get back on track after the beatdown in Nashville on Friday night, the Cats will have to show a lot tonight to even […]
The Baltimore Ravens have signed veteran offensive guard Laken Tomlinson to the practice squad, per a team announcement. Tomlinson, 33, is an 11-year veteran with 162 starts for five different teams, including seven with the Texans this season. He has almost exclusively played left guard in the NFL, including full seasons for the 49ers (2017, […]
The Detroit Lions announced on Tuesday that they have re-signed cornerback Arthur Maulet to the 53-man roster and waived tight end Ross Dwelley to make room for him. Maulet signed to the Lions’ practice squad back in early October, and when the injury bug hit at cornerback, he got some significant playing time. Most notably, […]
This one might surprise you, but I’m going to focus on some more of the positives this week. I’ve been highly critical of this offense all season long, but weirdly, there were some positive signs to cling to this week. I can’t be bothered to write about the same rubbish stuff we have seen all […]
Caleb Williams’ performance against the Packers ended on an interception, a play Williams admitted on Sunday evening he needed to deliver a better ball on to tight end Cole Kmet. Personally, I think he needed to be a tick earlier on the release, and the ball itself would have been fine, but we’re splitting hairs at this point. The fact that we can even have a conversation about that end zone interception in the closing seconds is because Williams drove the Bears down to that spot on the f...
The Cleveland Browns have been officially eliminated from playoff contention (despite being able to tie for the AFC North lead), and all eyes turn toward the future. QB Shedeur Sanders opened some of those eyes with his huge performance in Week 14, despite the loss, and, along with rookie TE Harold Fannin Jr., is up […]
Philip Rivers is BACK with Colts! Will he start in Seattle? IU hosts Penn State tonight!
"I'd look to have him back in the net starting for the Jets potentially next week"
Barcelona will have to cope without Lamine Yamal next time out in the Champions League against Slavia Prague after he picked up a one-match ban against Eintracht Frankfurt. Yamal was booked in the second half of the match, his third of the campaign so far in Europe, which brings an automatic ban. The teenager will […]
The official snap counts from the Philadelphia Eagles’ Week 14 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers are in. Let’s take a look and run through some analysis. OFFENSE DEFENSE SPECIAL TEAMS DID NOT PLAY INACTIVE: Lane Johnson, Jalen Carter, Joshua Uche, A.J. Dillon, Mac McWilliams, Sam Howell ACTIVE: Tanner McKee
1. I must admit, I’m a little shocked at how much everyone is praising the Chicago Bears for losing so competitively to the Green Bay Packers. Of course, I agree the Bears played well, especially in the second half. But eventually, we have to get to a point where we expect the Bears to win […]
You can expect a playoff-like atmosphere in Foxborough, MA this Sunday. There’s a lot at stake for both the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots weeks before the playoffs begin. After back-to-back 4-13 seasons, the Patriots have turned things around under hard-nosed head coach Mike Vrabel and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniel. Now 11-2 and in […]
Here we go again. Real Madrid in the Champions League (well, it’s not going to be in the Vanarama Vans Trophy is it?), which seems to have become a staple fixture year in, year out. City were able to keep a solid defence against Sunderland on Saturday but they may find Real’s forward line slightly […]
This is starting to look like a lost year for Kyler Gordon. The 25-year-old cornerback has been limited to three games this season because of a variety of injuries. Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers should have marked his fourth appearance of the season. It was set to be his second game back after returning from a stint on injured reserve. Unfortunately, for the Bears, it wasn’t meant to be. Gordon suffered a groin injury during pre-game warmups and did not play. Chicago’s defen...
Last week, the Seattle Seahawks rose again in the national power rankings after their shutout victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Will another dominant victory over the Atlanta Falcons continue this trend? Like last week, the win over the Falcons has moved the Seahawks up on average, however, once you’re already in the top five, there […]
The Minnesota Vikings shut out the Washington Commanders 31-0 on Sunday. It was the first time a team was shut out the week prior to a shutout victory since 1992. The defense was dominant and the offense was efficient. It was a beatdown from the start. It’s a rare treat to enjoy an easy win. […]
If there was a Coach Speak Hall of Fame, the phrase “one game at a time” would be a first-ballot selection. Luckily for us, neither sportswriters nor fans need to adhere to that slogan; we are at liberty to look ahead as far as we want. In this particular case, we’re looking ahead to the […]
The San Francisco 49ers are in control of their destiny with four weeks left in the season, standing at 9-4 with the No. 6 seed in the NFC after their bye week. It was another chaotic week in the NFL that saw some shakeups in the NFC Playoff Picture as the Chicago Bears fell all […]
