Below you’ll find a roundup of the most notable players to leave Sunday’s games, with notes on their replacements and respective game statuses: QB Justin Herbert (finger): The …

The Miami Dolphins will try to stay on track for the AFC’s top playoff seed when they host the Tennessee Titans on Monday Night Football. The Dolphins lead the AFC East by three games over the Buffalo Bills, their largest division lead since 1984. They haven’t won the division since 2008, but the offense has been lighting up the league …

The Chicago Bears could be excused for experiencing a few flashbacks as the final stretch unfolded with another comfortable lead over the Detroit Lions. Only this time, there was no late collapse. The Bears held their ground and took a big step forward in the process. Justin Fields threw for a touchdown and ran for another, and Chicago played its …

The Oregon Ducks had had one of the members of their 2024 recruiting class make a change in his commitment earlier this month, with 4-star quarterback Michael Van Buren announcing that he was decommitting from the team shortly after the Pac-12 Championship Game. On Sunday, Van Buren announced that he would be committing to the Mississippi State Bulldogs, giving new …

“Everything we’ve ever done or will do, we’re gonna do over and over and over again.” Rust Cohle (of “True Detective”) wasn’t talking about football when he opined on the recurrence of events in our lives, but he might as well have been in a deep discussion on the NFC South, a routinely disgusting division which once again finds itself …

DK Metcalf was ejected with three minutes remaining in the Seattle Seahawks’ game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. After an interception, the Seahawks star receiver picked up 49ers linebacker Fred Warner and slammed him on the turf. Warner responded by pushing Metcalf in the back of the head when he got up. Metcalf threw both arms up in …

USATSI USC is hiring North Dakota State head coach Matt Entz as its linebackers coach, Trojans coach Lincoln Riley announced Sunday. Entz spent the past five years leading the Bison, amassing a 60-10 record and winning the FCS national title in 2019 and 2021.  The move marks an outside-the-box hire for Riley and new defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn as the …

Getty Images Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell stuck with Josh Dobbs as his starting quarterback against the Raiders, but only after entertaining a change during the preceding bye week. Three-and-a-half quarters into Sunday’s game, O’Connell finally pulled the plug, benching Dobbs in favor of backup Nick Mullens amid a scoreless matchup with Las Vegas. Dobbs, who briefly captivated the NFL during his …

The last time the NFL has two scoreless games at halftime, the playoff field wasn’t even at 12 teams yet. Four of the league’s current franchises didn’t even exist.  The Houston Texans and New York Jets had a scoreless first half on Sunday, as did the Minnesota Vikings and Las Vegas Raiders. This was the first time two teams were …

Despite being benched for the Week 3 game in 2023 against South Florida, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe came back and proved to the nation that he was the right choice to be the Tide’s starter. Now, his name is in the Heisman Trophy conversation for 2024. Though there was a three-man competition for the starting job heading into the season, …

There was some tumult among Chiefs defenders on the sideline after a Bills field goal extended their lead to 10 points, but the offense put Kansas City right back into Sunday’s game. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes hit rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice for a four-yard touchdown to cap a nine-play, 75-yard drive. Harrison Butker’s extra point cut Buffalo’s lead to 17-14 …

The latest wave of NFL action has ushered in plenty of entertainment. The Rams and Ravens went to overtime, where a walk-off punt return helped keep a particular team in good standing for the playoff race.

Arizona State transfer Jalin Conyers announced on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday that he has committed to the Red Raiders. Conyers is a native of Gruver who began his collegiate career at Oklahoma before playing the last three …

Getty Images Welcome to the Week 14 grades! If we learned one thing on Sunday, it’s that you can go from watching football at your mom’s house to winning an NFL game in just a matter of weeks. Three weeks ago, Joe Flacco was watching NFL games at his mom’s house. This week, I’m guessing everyone at his mom’s house …

Getty Images The Vikings finally got Justin Jefferson back in the lineup on Sunday, with the star wide receiver returning from a seven-game absence due to a hamstring injury.
