The Detroit Lions (7-4) needed overtime to get a win over the New York Giants (2-10), but wins are hard to come by in the NFL, and so it’s important not to dismiss this win too quickly. On the surface, a win over a team with the Giants’ record would be easily dismissed in the […]
The San Francisco 49ers are at a point in the season where winning is more important than the quality of the win, and Monday night proved that. The 49ers withstood three Brock Purdy interceptions in an ugly 20-9 win over the Carolina Panthers. While it was believed that the 49ers’ offense would need to carry […]
The Tennessee Titans had one of their best weeks in recent memory. Cam Ward looked great against a really good defense. The game was fun to watch, but they ultimately lost 30-24 to the Seattle Seahawks. The loss dropped them to 1-10 and allowed them to remain in the top spot in the 2026 NFL […]
The Minnesota Vikings announced that starting QB J.J. McCarthy is in concussion protocol. Typically, it’s nearly certain this will lead to McCarthy missing at least one week. Based on averages, 25–30% of players return the same week, another 25–30% the following week, and 80% return before the three-week mark. Many factors influence recovery, including the […]
The good news is that it seems like Bears cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon are close to returning to the lineup. And while I wouldn’t call a potential logjam at cornerback “bad” news, the way Nahshon Wright has been playing lately has me considering if he has done enough to keep his job as a starting boundary corner. EPISODE 10 OF THE BN BEARS PODCAST: Apple | Spotify | YouTube Nahshon Wright tied teammate Kevin Byard III for the league lead in interceptions on Sunda...
The Pittsburgh Steelers fell to 6-5 after a tough loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The loss dropped them out of first place in the AFC North — as well as playoff seeding entirely — with the once 1-5 Baltimore Ravens seizing control of the division for the first time this season. As Mike […]
The Dallas Cowboys have won two games in a row and as a result have re-entered the playoff conversation. Maybe a better way to put this is to say that the playoff conversation doesn’t sound as silly around them as it did when they were 3-5-1. Winning cures all, as they say. We have reached […]
As the 3-8 Washington Commanders exit the bye week and begin to focus on their Week 13 matchup with the Denver Broncos, a separate part of the organization will continue their attention on the upcoming offseason, which includes who will/won’t return to Washington for the 2026 season. The Commanders will only have 34 players currently […]
The Dolphins have many needs ahead of the 2026 season, and WR will be one of them with the future of Tyreek Hill still up in the air.
The Falcons took down the rival Saints to snap a 5-game losing streak in Week 12. Kevin Knight and Tre’Shon Diaz review the film and discuss the bounce-back game from the defense, the continued dominance (!!) of Atlanta’s pass rush, the welcome but puzzling changes to the offense with Kirk Cousins at the helm, and […]
It seems crazy to say, but at 37 years old, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is playing the best football of his career. That also just so happens to be at an MVP level. While Stafford may not be as exciting as Drake Maye, Patrick Mahomes, or Josh Allen, the fact that he’s been […]

After a 23-20 overtime win, the Kansas City Chiefs are alive and well in the AFC playoff race. The crucial win over the Indianapolis Colts improved the team’s perception around the league. Each site’s power rankings moved the Chiefs up ahead of the Week 13 game against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. Here’s this […]
The hot stove has just started to boil. A new report says that the St. Louis Cardinals are trading Sonny Gray to the Boston Red Sox. This is being reported by MLB Trade Rumors based on a share by John Heyman of the New York Post on X. Jeff Passan reporting that the Cardinals are […]
The Tennessee Titans are finally less than a touchdown underdog! They are a 6.5-point home underdog against the Jacksonville Jaguars this week according to Fanduel. No game feels all that winnable for the Titans, but this is one where they could have a chance if Cam Ward continues to play the way he has over […]
The Cleveland Browns have not enjoyed much success this season when it comes to winning football games, but their rookie class continues to make headlines. Defensive tackle Mason Graham, the club’s first-round selection, has shown nice progress as he continues to grow into his role. Linebacker Carson Schwesinger is a frontrunner for Defensive Rookie of […]
The St. Louis Cardinals teardown got a big boost today, with starting pitcher Sonny Gray reportedly heading to the Boston Red Sox. Breaking: Sonny Gray traded to Red Sox — Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) November 25, 2025 The Boston Red Sox are acquiring right-hander Sonny Gray in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals, sources tell ESPN.

Following an absolutely monstrous performance on Sunday, Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has been nominated for one of this week’s FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week Awards. Gibbs was simply a superstar in front of a home crowd this past Sunday afternoon against New York—219 rushing yards, 45 receiving yards, three […]
Another day in the life of the Big Ten in FEAST WEEK: Rutgers sucks, USC’s mediocre, everything else…eh. FEAST WEEK DAY 1: RECAPS Players Era Festival I’m increasingly angry about this tournament—not specifically because Michigan routed San Diego State and ran up the score, but specifically because the nature of “18 teams playing a fucking […]
Another week in the NFL has come and gone and it was the second week without Jaxson Dart for the New York Giants due to a concussion. I must say, Jameis Winston is fun as hell and Daboll should’ve been fired for ever playing Russell Wilson over him. Even though Dart was sidelined, there were […]
The Panthers were destined to look bad on Monday night — after all, it was a primetime game. Carolina’s propensity for laying goose eggs on the brightest stage has been a calling card of the franchise for the better part of 30 years, so why stop now? First you get mad about it, then you […]
Happy Tuesday, Red Sox Nation! With Thanksgiving around the corner, MLB’s offseason is defrosting with the turkeys. The Mets and Rangers made a one for one major league trade and the Mariners brought back Josh Naylor, but apart from that, there hasn’t been much movement. Maybe today’s the day we get a nice appetizer before […]
Tommy Edman was coming off an outstanding postseason run in 2024 for what would be his first full season as a Dodger in 2025. He started the year on a very strong note, at one point contending for the home run leaderboard in April, but ankle issues slowed him down throughout the majority of the […]
Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ rookie class fared in a 24-10 home loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 12 and what it means looking ahead to Sunday’s road game at the Los Angeles Chargers. Ashton Jeanty: The No. 6 overall draft pick continues to play hard through a tough […]
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to winning in the NHL. While there are lots of ways to win a hockey game, the best teams in the league generally have a well-developed identity. The Florida Panthers are relentless forecheckers with total buy-in from every player; the Colorado Aval...
