Well, we’re a month into the season, and just as everyone predicted the Minnesota Vikings are 4-0 and have the highest-scoring team defense in fantasy football. No, really, it’s true. The Vikings haven’t played great defense—especially of late. As a matter of fact, after four weeks, there isn’t a team in the NFL allowing more passing yards per game than …

The Seahawks got the ball to start the second half and in need of a touchdown. They got one. Seattle drove 75 yards in 10 plays, cutting Detroit’s lead to 21-14. Seattle, which punted from the 50 on fourth-and-three on their first drive, went for it on fourth-and-one at its own 34. Geno Smith ran for 2 yards. The big …

The Seahawks pulled to within 28-20 for all of 11 seconds, but after Kenneth Walker’s 1-yard run, they decided to go for two. It’s a move recommended by analytics. Geno Smith threw a pass to DK Metcalf in the end zone on the try. Metcalf caught it, but officials ruled it incomplete. Cornerback Carlton Davis was called for pass interference, …

Some very bad offensive football was on display tonight in Miami. The Dolphins were down to their third quarterback of the season in Tyler Huntley. The Titans lost starter Will Levis to a shoulder injury and turned to backup Mason Rudolph. None of the quarterbacks played well in the Titans’ 31-12 win. But Rudolph was probably the best of the …

After starting 11-4 last year, the Dolphins have gone 1-7. They’ve struggled at quarterback without Tua Tagovailoa. (In fairness, the offense wasn’t exactly zooming around like a Ferrari before Tua’s concussion.) With the Chiefs suddenly in need of a new No. 1 receiver and with receiver Tyreek Hill visibly upset on the sideline late in Monday night’s ugly loss to …

The Chiefs and Vikings met in Super Bowl IV in New Orleans. They’re both a long way from reuniting in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. Regardless, through 64 regular-season games in 2024, the Chiefs and Vikings are the last remaining unbeaten teams. Both are 4-0. Five teams had a chance to get there, but the Steelers lost to the …

On a key two-point attempt late in the third quarter of Monday’s Seahawks-Lions game, Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf appeared to make the catch and get a knee inbounds in the end zone. And while a pass interference call on Detroit gave Seattle another chance (it failed), the first one should have been ruled good. And not as the result of …

Jared Goff had a night, leading the Lions to a 42-29 win over the Seahawks in a track meet at Ford Field. The Lions quarterback went 18-for-18 for 292 yards and two touchdowns, with his scoring tosses covering 70 yards to Jameson Williams and 8 yards to Amon-Ra St. Brown. But that wasn’t even his highlight: He caught a 7-yard …

They did it on the ground. They did it through the air. They did it without throwing an incomplete pass. The Detroit Lions’ offense feasted Monday Night in a 42-29 win over the Seahawks, handing Seattle its first loss of the season following a 3-0 start. Geno Smith and Kenneth Walker made a valiant effort to keep pace for the …

Jared Goff threw a perfect game, setting an NFL record by completing all 18 of his passes to help the Detroit Lions beat the Seattle Seahawks 42-29 on Monday night. Kurt Warner had the previous league mark for the most passes without an incompletion, going 10-for-10 for Arizona against Houston in 2005. Goff also had a touchdown reception for the …

If you paid attention to only results of four games and not past history, like a few shiny Lombardi Trophies, there isn’t much doubt the Minnesota Vikings have been the best team in the NFL this season. The Vikings are 4-0 with three impressive wins over some of the best teams in the NFL. They’ve made the 49ers, Texans and …

Purdy, 49ers’ offense continue to counter defensive adjustments originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area SANTA CLARA — The pass protection was good, but 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy often held the ball and eventually had to escape the pocket. Why? Oftentimes, Purdy had nowhere to throw it because the New England Patriots were well-prepared and took away some of the …

Mason Rudolph led seven scoring drives after starter Will Levis left with a shoulder injury, and the Tennessee Titans beat the Miami Dolphins 31-12 on Monday night. Rudolph threw for 85 yards and completed 9 of 17 passes in relief of Levis, who attempted just four passes before running and diving for a first down on Tennessee’s second drive and …

Maybe they will call it the Detroit Special. Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown took a handoff from quarterback Jared Goff and started right. Goff sneaked out to the left, and St. Brown stopped and threw it back to Goff. Seahawks linebacker Trevis Gibson saw it, but too late to break up the pass. It goes down as a 9-yard touchdown …

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley (18) goes after the ball after a bad snap against the Titans. (AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell) Last season, for a national audience on Black Friday, the Miami Dolphins played a New York Jets team that had one big, fatal issue. They didn’t have a quarterback. Tim Boyle was so bad that day, he had a Hail …
