The Vikings were starting their fifth-round rookie quarterback as a last resort. They had already lost star tight end T.J. Hockenson to an ACL tear the week prior. Their complex defense was …

If 2023 becomes Patriots coach Bill Belichick’s final year in New England, he’ll exit with a strange set of bookends. Sunday’s loss to the Bills clinched New England’s first last-place finish in the AFC East since Belichick’s first year on the job, in 2000. That year, the Pats went 5-11. This year, they’re 4-12 with one game left, a Week …

The transfer portal has been open for a little over a month now and while Ohio State has had its fair share of players enter the portal and find new homes, the Buckeyes haven’t been very active in gaining new prospects. That changed today when Ryan Day landed his first player from the portal in tight end Will Kacmarek. Kacmarek …

Every year, the NFL waits as long as possible before announcing the full Week 18 schedule and that announcement finally came on Sunday night.  The final week of the NFL season will kick off on Saturday with a doubleheader and then close out on Sunday night with the Dolphins and Bills battling in Miami with the winner taking home the …

The San Francisco 49ers took care of business Sunday with a 27-10 victory over the Washington Commanders to remain atop the NFC. But in order to clinch the No. 1 seed in the conference, the 49ers needed some help from the division-rival Arizona Cardinals, who were facing the No. 2 seed Philadelphia Eagles.  And they got it, with Kyler Murray …

Getty Images The 49ers have had some pretty good quarterbacks. Some of the NFL’s all-time greats, in fact. None of them has thrown for as many yards in a season as Brock Purdy, though, and Purdy might have accomplished it on his very last throw of the regular season. The former Mr. Irrelevant is up to 4,280 yards passing this …

It’s hard to find good offensive linemen. No matter the level of football, no matter the league, it’s rare to find five guys that can lineup and block consistently. And if you’re lucky enough to have a solid five, it’s even harder to keep them all healthy over the course of the season. Depth is usually tested, and more often …

Week 17 of the NFL certainly cleaned up a few playoff races in the AFC and NFC. The Dallas Cowboys are one win away from a division title while the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens will have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.  The AFC East is still up for grabs, setting up a showdown between the Buffalo Bills and …

Five things I care about The Ravens demonstrate their complete transformation The Ravens took down the 49ers and Dolphins, two of the best operations in the league, by a combined 51 points in back-to-back weeks.

Notre Dame football is ushering in the new year riding a wave of momentum. They had a very successful early signing day, hired Mike Denbrock away from LSU, and blew out Oregon St. to close out the season. Notre Dame is trending up for 2024. With the turn of the calendar top of mind and progress for the football program …

Eric Williams NFC West Writer The stats are both representative of where the Seattle Seahawks stand with one regular-season game remaining and also embarrassing for a Pete Carroll-led defense.   Since Week 11, the Seahawks have allowed a league-worst 1,102 rushing yards and a league-high 13 rushing touchdowns.  The Pittsburgh Steelers were certainly aware of those numbers, which is why …

Getty The Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers made emphatic statements in Week 17 and locked up their conference’s respective No. 1 seeds in the process. The Ravens barely broke a sweat in a 56-19 rout of Miami, while the 49ers waxed Washington 27-10.    As recipients of the top seed, both teams will receive first-round playoff byes. Since the playoff expansion …

Michigan football is preparing to battle against the biggest name in college football — Nick Saban. For most of the roster, this is the first time they will face the Crimson Tide, but for others, there’s already a ship to right. Cornelius Johnson is one of the older players on the roster who remembers the 2020 Citrus Bowl that finished …

Who could have known exploring whether the Chicago Bears should take a quarterback at No. 1 overall or soldier forth with Justin Fields would become evergreen content?  A year after trading the No. 1 overall selection in the 2023 NFL Draft and the eventual rights to Bryce Young, the Bears are in a similar position with two games remaining in …
