Mayfield has endured an unending competition to prove his worth as a starting QB, including this year when he battled Kyle Trask for QB1 honors. But after bouncing …

Overreacting to single-game playoff performances is generally a terrible mistake. It’s how we ended up with the Gabe Davis fiasco of 2022, one of the more regrettable episodes in recent fantasy football history.

Greg Auman NFC South Reporter TAMPA, Fla. – Few expected the Buccaneers to win as easily as they did in Monday’s 32-9 wild-card rout of the Eagles, so it’s fitting that surprise stars on both sides of the ball factored heavily into Tampa Bay’s victory. It started on offense, where the Eagles made it a priority to cover Bucs receivers …

Every Tuesday, right around now, word begins to trickle out regarding some of the words uttered by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones during one of his two weekly appearances on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.
