The Pittsburgh Steelers’ rough afternoon against the Buffalo Bills got even worse when linebacker Patrick Queen was forced out in the first half. The team initially announced it as a hip injury and ruled him questionable to return, removing one of the core pieces of a defense that had already been under heavy scrutiny in recent weeks.

After the game, there was at least a bit of relief. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Queen is believed to have suffered a lower back bruise and is undergoing further testing, with the hope that the issue will not be a long-term...

After starting the season with a promising 4-1 record, the bottom has fallen out in the Pittsburgh Steelers as they’ve got 2-4 in their last six games to bring their record to .500. With frustrations, quarterback Aaron Rodgers opened his old bag of tricks and started throwing teammates under the bus following the Steelers’ latest loss.

In their 26-7 home loss to the Buffalo Bills, in which the Steelers’ defense got run all over and the offense looked inept, 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers completed just 10 of 21 passes for 117 yards, with no touchdowns (nor interceptions).

While speaking to the...

Lamar Jackson did not need a long manifesto to answer the latest round of criticism. When Pittsburgh radio host Andrew Filliponi called him “overrated” on social media and asked if everyone could agree, the Baltimore Ravens quarterback fired back with a simple “Sayless.”

The timing was impossible to ignore. Jackson is fighting through a rough post-injury stretch, the Ravens just got embarrassed by the Bengals, and a Week 14 showdown with the Steelers could swing the AFC North race.

As ESPN recently outlined, the real question in Baltimore is what to do with his contract next. He still has two...

The Denver Broncos have their sights set on the Super Bowl after another big win in Week 13. Denver improved to 10-2 on the season after taking care of Washington in overtime on Sunday Night Football. But the chaotic ending to the game featured one or two surprises for the Broncos.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton explained that he found himself in an unprecedented situation during Sunday’s win over the Commanders.

The Broncos believed that they won the game on a fourth-and-6 play just minutes before the end of the game. Broncos safety Brandon Jones intercepted a pass, which would...

Marshall, 25, was a three-year starter at LSU...

While it took overtime, the Denver Broncos took down the Washington Commanders, 27-16, on Sunday Night Football. With the victory, Denver sits atop the AFC as the No. 1 seed through 13 weeks.

Which is why it was a bit confusing that head coach Sean Payton was asked about the Broncos’ intent to end at the regular season at number one. Payton took the opportunity to address how ridiculous he felt the question was, via Zac Stevens of DNVR.

“Well yeah,” Payton said. “That’s the silliest question of the night. We’re competing for it.”

Payton went on to discuss how...

DECEMBER 1: With the MRI having taken place, Pelissero and colleague Ian Rapoport confirm Gardner suffered a calf strain. He is week-to-week as a result, with the Colts hoping Gardner will be able to return by the end of the regular season.

NOVEMBER 30: Sauce Gardner exited the Colts’ Week 13 game and was unable to return. The high-profile trade acquisition could be in store for missed time, although the worst-case scenario appears to have been avoided.

Gardner was unable to put weight on his left leg as he made his way to the sidelines upon suffering the injury....

It wasn’t long ago the Colts posed a real threat to the Patriots amid New England’s quest for the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs.

Indianapolis, though, no longer feels like an obstacle.

That’s in part because the Colts suffered a second consecutive loss in Week 13 and thus fell behind the Jaguars in the AFC South standings. It’s also because Indianapolis star cornerback Sauce Gardner, who was acquired before the NFL trade deadline, is expected to miss multiple weeks with a calf injury.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Gardner will likely miss “a few weeks” but avoided a...

PITTSBURGH — Last week, I wrote a very long column about the five reasons the Pittsburgh Steelers have struggled throughout the 2025 season.

If I wanted to, I could write it again. The Steelers lost to the Buffalo Bills, 26-7 on Sunday, further sinking their 2025 season, and even though the way they went about losing was slightly different, almost everything I wrote about last week was a factor in this week’s loss.

The obvious problems on offense were again the obvious problems. The Steelers’ receivers rarely got any separation, even though the Bills were stacking the box to stop...

Here are the latest Super Bowl odds, as the NFC West has proven its mettle and Chicago is making its Super Bowl case.

The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Monday they have promoted CB Jalen Davis to the active roster.

We have signed CB Jalen Davis off the practice squad to the active roster and placed LB Brian Asamoah II on the Reserve/Injured list.

In a corresponding move, the Bengals placed LB Brian Asamoah on injured reserve.

Davis, 29, wound up going undrafted out of Utah State back in 2018 and signing with the Dolphins. He was waived coming out of the preseason before being re-signed to their practice...

Defensive tackle Quinnen Williams has only been in Dallas a few weeks, but he already sounds like a man who walked into the right storm. The trade-deadline arrival keeps deflecting credit for the Cowboys’ defensive surge to the talent around him, even as his presence inside has helped fuel a three-game winning streak that suddenly has the Eagles looking over their shoulders in the NFC East.

As one ESPN insider put it, the idea that “the Cowboys are going to make the playoffs” is no longer some wild overreaction. Just a month ago, that sounded laughable with Dallas heading into...
