The NFL playoffs got underway last week, and in this round, we had the last 8 battling. Our two 1-seeds finally joined the party, with Denver and Seattle playing their first games of the postseason. Both one, but the Seahawks had a much easier time. All four games took place in outdoor stadiums, and two…
Now that we’ve said goodbye to more than half of the league’s teams, it was time for the remaining 14 squads to prove that they should advance in the playoffs. This week, 12 competed. Denver and Seattle earned the byes in their respective conferences, getting the week off. Mistakes are amplified in the postseason because…
We’ve made it to the end of the regular season, which means it’s time for my final power rankings! Eighteen teams said goodbye this week, though many of them knew the end was upon them weeks ago. Maybe even months ago for a select few. They’ll all have the draft and free agency to try…
During the final week of the regular season, some teams played for playoff spots or division titles. Some played for seeding. Others played for draft positioning. We saw less starters than usual this year with many teams only playing for minor potential seed changes (shockingly, the Rams did play starters). Individual players, even those on…
Happy New Year everyone! Just one more game remains for each team with week 17 complete, and we’ve already seen many teams clinch and several players set records. I thought we had all our takeaways neatly tied up heading into Sunday night, and then THAT game happened, so you get a rare 6th one this…
On this page, I’m going to be providing the free agent signing grades for the notable signings and extensions that occur in 2025 (most recent first) based on how good a deal the signing team obtained and the type of impact I expect the player to have. Please note that an offseason signing cannot be…
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! If you’re reading this, your level of holiday cheer may depend on what happened with your team. The good: the Seahawks, 49ers, Bears, Eagles, Jaguars, Patriots, Chargers, and Bills all clinched playoff berths. The bad: Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa got benched, and replacement Quinn Ewers was much worse. In more…
Just when we all started getting in the holiday spirit, things started happening and shook us. A team we have grown accustomed to seeing in February has been eliminated in December. Multiple stars went down with serious injuries. Normally elite K Brandon Aubrey missed not once, but TWICE. Fortunately, plenty of good things happened to…
One team’s misfortune can be another team’s triumph. Cincinnati and Buffalo played a thrilling shootout in the snow, but only the Bills have a realistic shot at the playoffs as a result. Chicago and Baltimore had agonizing finishes to their games, but Pittsburgh and Green Bay relished taking over first place in their respective divisions….
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Some fanbases are really thankful, like those of the league-leading Patriots. Others, such as fans of the Titans, are trying to find something to celebrate this holiday. Some miracles are also taking place. Chicago owns the #1 seed in the NFC, Carolina is above .500 13 games in, and the Chiefs are…
