The Philadelphia Eagles seemingly struck gold with their first two selections in the 2025 NFL Draft with linebacker Jihaad Campbell and safety Andrew Mukuba. Both have impressed in their first four weeks of the season, one enough that an NFL analyst has him as a Defensive Rookie of the Year favorite. But, surprisingly, it’s not the first-round pick.
ESPN’s Bill Barnwell has Mukuba — Philadelphia’s second-round pick — third behind San Francisco 49ers cornerback Upton Stout and Cleveland Browns linebacker Carson Schwesinger.

The Vikings and Browns will play in from of their international fans in London on Sunday. Minnesota will play in its second consecutive international game, something no other NFL team has ever done. This could feel like a must-win game for both teams.
Minnesota is 2-2 after a crushing loss against Pittsburgh in Ireland. They are suddenly falling behind in the NFC North and could keep pace with a win.
Meanwhile, the Browns just got pummelled by the Lions. It was a cold reminder that Week 3’s surprising win against the Packers is the exception and not the rule.

The Chargers come in with a record of 3-1, but suffered an embarrassing loss to the previously winless Giants in Week 4. Granted, it was on the road, across the country, and a 1 p.m. kickoff. But still, they got upset.

It’s been a long time since the Pittsburgh Steelers had a creative, adaptable offensive coordinator who delivered results—maybe not since Todd Haley in 2017. But Arthur Smith is starting to show why the team was eager to hire him before the 2024 season, and why patience can pay off. Steve Smith Sr. gave Arthur Smith […]

The Dallas Cowboys are turning the page after a tie against the Green Bay Packers last Sunday night. In a contest with many emotions, star defensive back Trevon Diggs did not start against his former teammate, Micah Parsons, and the Packers. Nobody saw the result coming, but the game was very good.
The reason for the benching was due to off-field issues, according to NBC. The same article from NBC shows Diggs making a request to defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus as he returns to the starting lineup against the New York Jets on Sunday.
“Rough week,” Diggs said Wednesday, via...

NFL Trade Rumors
Full disclosure: I thought this game would look a lot more like the Cowboys matchup, soft defense against a young offense ready to flex. But I didn’t account for three things: 1) the natural ebb and flow of the NFL season and its “any given week” chaos, 2) Maxx Crosby’s sheer ability to erase an offense from existence, and, 3) Growth is very often nonlinear.
For about three quarters, Crosby was operating on a completely different level. He turned the field into his personal playground and made the Bears, specifically Caleb Williams, look like prey caught in the wrong habitat....

The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the most accomplished franchises in the NFL. However, it’s been almost 20 years since they last won a Super Bowl. The 2008 season marked their last championship victory. That was one of the best Super Bowls in NFL history, though. It was capped by a great drive from Ben […]
