The NFL Playoffs are rapidly approaching, so it’s a busy time in the NFL. A chilly Week 15 saw LSU guys experience a wide range of football emotions. We’re gonna break it all down game-by-game. Falcons 29 at Buccaneers 28 Deion Jones was second on the team with eight tackles against the team that drafted […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bills fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. We’ve asked it before, but we’re doing it again: Are the Buffalo Bills back? The Bills […]
The Week 16 contest between the Las Vegas Raiders and Houston Texans is undoubtedly a mismatch, seeing as the Raiders are heavy underdogs going into it. But Las Vegas’ focus should be on the future, so how the young players fare in the three key matchups below should take priority over how the scoreboard looks […]
On Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs used their official X account to announce that they are placing injured quarterback Patrick Mahomes on the team’s Reserve/Injured list, officially ending his season after he underwent surgery for the torn ACL he suffered in Sunday’s 16-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The team also announced that it […]
The Detroit Lions (8-6) and Pittsburgh Steelers (8-6) have declared their initial Week 16 injury reports as they prepare to face off in Week 16. Both teams are dealing with a few key injuries, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Let’s take a look at the latest injury report and get you up […]
The New England Patriots sorely missed linebacker Robert Spillane during last week’s loss to the Buffalo Bills, and his outlook remains unclear heading toward Week 16. On Wednesday, before the team headed out to its first practice of the week, Spillane was spotted in the locker room wearing a walking boot on his ailing left […]
The New England Patriots’ practice squad has returned to capacity. The organization announced the signing of linebacker Amari Gainer on Wednesday, bringing the group back to 17 players. Gainer, 25, entered the NFL with the Las Vegas Raiders as an undrafted free agent in 2024. He cleared waivers at the 53-man roster deadline in August […]
Last week, we learned that Nico Hoerner’s name had popped up in trade conversations this offseason, though it was non-specific and certainly not a situation where it had the feel of Hoerner being shopped or anything like that. More likely, we figured, the Cubs were having conversations with LOTS of teams about LOTS of topics, and given how hot the second base trade market is (and the lack of shortstops out there), it would make sense for a team or three to ask the Cubs about Hoerner. He’s...
The Green Bay Packers opened their practice week with a concerning list of absences — and a roster that suddenly looks far less imposing heading into Saturday’s primetime showdown with the Chicago Bears. Six Packers did not practice on Wednesday, headlined by star running back Josh Jacobs (knee) and wide receiver Jayden Reed, who missed the session due to a personal matter. Starting safety Evan Williams (knee) and anchor right tackle Zach Tom (knee/back) were also sidelined, leaving two m...
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year, we ask questions of the most plugged-in Niners fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. The San Francisco 49ers are on a 4-game winning streak. They beat the Cardinals, Panthers, Browns, […]
Green Bay Packers starting safety Evan Williams, who has been a non-participant in Tuesday’s walkthrough and Wednesday’s practice this week, revealed today that he sprained his MCL against the Denver Broncos on the same play that Micah Parsons tore his ACL, per ESPN’s Rob Demovsky. Williams didn’t return to the field after the injury and […]
There’s not much left to root for in the Dallas Cowboys 2025 season. Sure, there is the mathematical possibility of making the playoffs, but the reality is that the season is effectively over and Cowboys Nation turns its lonely eyes to the draft and… free agency? Well, at least the draft part. We’re going to […]
First off, I have to admit it – Associate Head Coach Phil Snow gives me a glimmer of hope for the Vegas Bowl. Not through any special sets or surprises he shared with the press corps last week, because, gosh, coaches do that all the time. No, it’s simply the twinkle in his eye, the […]
In the 1980 classic movie Caddyshack, the character of Judge Elihu Smails, played by the talented Ted Knight, delivers a memorable toast when christening his new boat: It’s easy to grin,when your ship comes in,And you’ve got the stock market beat. But the man worthwhile,Is the man who can smile,When his shorts are too tight […]
Jets head coach announced Brady Cook will make his second start of the season when the Jets travel to New Orleans to take on the Saints in Week 16. Cook started in Week 15 for the Jets against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He came on in relief of an injured Tyrod Taylor in Week 14 against […]
Up 24-7 at the half, the New England Patriots were merely 30 minutes away from beating the Buffalo Bills to secure the AFC East title. What happened next has been talked about ad nauseam over the last few days: the Patriots collapsed in the second half and saw their lead evaporate before eventually losing 35-31. […]
The Buffalo Bills were in a scary place for the first half of their game against the New England Patriots. But Josh Alien came out and so did all the Bills’ talent alongside him. And maybe a little puke came out too. It’s hazy. Anyway, Buffalo’s second half offense was a work of art. James […]
It’s not that the A’s aren’t trying, it’s that they’re not getting to the finish line very often. It’s their version of the Giants’ higher profile failures luring Bryce Harper, Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge — names slightly more familiar in the average household than Ha-Seong Kim and Merrill Kelly. What is coming out is the […]
The Buffalo Bills pulled out a win in dramatic fashion against the New England Patriots. The dramatic fashion came as the Patriots jumped out to a 21-0 lead, then 24-7 at the half. While the defense largely locked things down in the second half, that first half was ugly, ugly, ugly. Let’s look at the […]
There’s not much left to root for in the Dallas Cowboys 2025 season. Sure, there is the mathematical possibility of making the playoffs, but the reality is that the season is effectively over and Cowboys Nation turns its lonely eyes to the draft and… free agency? Well, at least the draft part. We’re going to […]
The Philadelphia Eagles faced Jayden Daniels three times last season. They will face him zero times this season as they play the Washington Commanders twice within the last three weeks of the 2025 campaign. In order to preview this Week 16 matchup, I reached out to our enemies over at Hogs Haven. The amiable Andrew […]
As expected, Las Vegas Raiders starting quarterback Geno Smith will be practicing Wednesday and, thus, he may be line to play Sunday at the Houston Texans on Sunday. Kickoff is at 1:25 pm. PT. Smith missed Sunday’s 31-0 shutout loss at the Philadelphia Eagles as the Raiders dropped to 2-12. It was Smith’s first missed […]
Life as a practice squad player in the NFL is one full of ups and downs. Less than 24 hours after releasing quarterback/wide receiver John Rhys Plumlee from the practice squad, the Steelers are bringing him back, a team source told Alan Saunders of Steelers Now on Wednesday. Plumlee was released on Tuesday per the […]
If you take the six worst games by the Los Angeles Rams against the deep pass this season, they are 3-3. In every other contest, they’re 8-0. Chris Shula’s defense must shut down Sam Darnold for the second time this season to beat the Seahawks on Thursday, otherwise L.A.‘s defensive coordinator could be guaranteed a […]
He picked up the first sack of his career on Sunday, recorded the first interception of his career, too, and earlier today, the league announced that Chicago Bears linebacker D’Marco Jackson was honored with his first NFC Defensive Player of the Week award. Head coach Ben Johnson gave Jackson a game ball following their big […]
