This week is brought to you by the number “3”! Numerous players scored 3 touchdowns, including the Rams’ Davante Adams, Indy’s Jonathan Taylor, and Cleveland’s Quinshon Judkins. Maybe those last two knew it was about to be the dawn of National RB Day. Green Bay’s Micah Parsons had 3 sacks, a career high for one…
Injuries are really taking their toll on the league. The NFC West got a lot more complex, with Rams WR Puka Nacua and 49ers LB Fred Warner hurting their ankles. Nacua may miss week 7, while Warner is done for the year. Baltimore’s lack of healthy bodies is dragging them to the depths of the…
We’ve reached our first byes of the season, so no Falcons, Packers, Steelers, or Bears this week. Even without them, we witnessed plenty of action. Baltimore and Cincinnati are watching their seasons slip away without QBs Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow, respectively. Two winless teams finally got on the board, while the last two 4-0…
Breaking news: winning games in the NFL is hard. Several teams just won for the first time this week, while multiple others that hadn’t lost to date fell. Two teams didn’t win or lose. Winning can also come in different styles. Kansas City crushed Baltimore with WR Xavier Worthy back stretching the field. Chicago won…
We’re starting to learn more about these teams. The Colts are a surprising 3-0, and they just punted for the very first time after a record 19 drives without doing so. However, they’ve benefitted from an easy schedule. The Giants are unsurprisingly 0-3 because of their brutal schedule. Denver could be 0-3 right now, but…
Saying that “a lot happened this week” would be an understatement. Mac Jones led the 49ers to a road win. Miami returned a punt for a TD but allowed a KR TD on the very next play in a loss to the Patriots. Grant Delpit and his Browns did indeed stuff Derrick Henry but got…
Week 1 always excites, which is why I need to provide an immediate disclaimer: please don’t overreact. You’ll see shock results and major conclusions drawn with the smallest of sample sizes. Unless they confirm what you already knew, they could be mirages. I’ll be touching on the Thursday night kickoff game, the special Friday night…
The moment we’ve been waiting for is finally here. The Cowboys and Eagles kick off the 2025 season on Thursday in a much-anticipated matchup, but first, I thought I’d look at where the various teams stand on opening week. After all, we’ve now seen these teams in the preseason. Please don’t be mad if your…
Just like that, the preseason is over. It goes by quickly with only 3 games! Starters have had their chance to get in sync (the few who played at least), camp battles have been won and lost, and roster spots have been secured. Players now await the decisions of their front offices. Each team must…
Last season, we saw many more starters in week 2 than in week 1 of the preseason. This year, we got the opposite: a surprisingly high number of starters in week 1 while the stars almost all rested in week 2. Some squads indeed attempted to resolve some positional battles, but for the most part,…
