When deciding where to throw the football, some quarterbacks obsess over completion percentages and touchdown-to-interception ratio. Russell Wilson is not one of those quarterbacks.

We’re seeing that play out for the Steelers in a big way, giving them their best quarterback play since Ben Roethlisberger retired. It’s …

After a .500 week last week, we were back on the board with seven of the top 10 defenses correctly predicted again, including all five of the top five plays finishing in the top 10. The Broncos, Lions, and Steelers continue to emerge as defenses that we can play in almost any matchup because their floor is so high, and …

The Los Angeles Rams are a good example of how each week changes the NFL trade block. The Rams seemed like sellers a week ago. Then they got Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp back, upset the Minnesota Vikings to improve to 3-4, and maybe they’re not sellers anymore. Although, maybe that changes again before the deadline next Tuesday. With plenty …

After Greg Zuerlein missed two kicks in Sunday’s loss to the Patriots, Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said that he had no regrets about sticking with Zuerlein despite several other missed kicks that have played major roles in several of the team’s losses this season.

The Steelers saw their three-week streak of games with a blocked kick come to an end against the Giants on Monday night, but they came up with another way to impact the game on special teams.

The two-point conversion turned 30 this year. The NFL’s first two-point conversion was scored on September 4, 1994, when Browns coach Bill Belichick called for a trick play and his extra point holder, Tom Tupa, ran the ball into the end zone. Since then, two-point conversions have typically been about a 50-50 proposition, with half of them succeeding and half …

The Steelers were 4-2 with Justin Fields as their starting quarterback, so there was some risk to the team’s decision to switch to Russell Wilson before their Week Seven game against the Jets After two games, it’s hard to imagine anyone is questioning head coach Mike Tomlin’s choice.

As he so often does, Steelers pass rusher T.J. Watt made a game-changing play in the fourth quarter on Monday night, blowing past Giants right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor, knocking the ball out of Daniel Jones’ hand and jumping on the fumble. And that raises an important question: Why did the Giants have Eluemunor blocking Watt one-on-one in that situation? The …
