2026 NFL Draft Order

The post 2026 NFL Draft Order appeared first on NFLTradeRumors.co.

When you pull off a play that makes the best quarterback on the planet stop and tweet, you know you’ve done something special. During a snow-covered NFC Divisional Round thriller at Soldier Field, Chicago Bears rookie Caleb Williams sent shockwaves through the NFL with a touchdown pass that defied physics.

With the Bears trailing the Los Angeles Rams 17-10 and facing a do-or-die fourth down with under 20 seconds left, Williams found himself in a nightmare scenario. The Rams’ pass rush collapsed the pocket immediately, forcing the rookie to scramble nearly 20 yards backward to his own 40-yard line.

It looks like the Houston Texans should’ve had at least one more fighting chance to defeat the Patriots.

Amid a terrible night for CJ Stroud, the refereeing crew made several missed calls.

In the fourth quarter, Stroud, who blamed himself after the game, went deep on a pass that fell short. However, it appears that his wideout was interfered with. But no flag was thrown, and the Houston Texans moved on to the next play.

A replay of that moment had fans paying attention to the ref on the sideline who was watching the play. It appeared that he wanted...

By winning Super Bowl LIII in 2019, the New England Patriots earned their sixth Lombardi Trophy, tying the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most in NFL history. After Mike Vrabel, Drake Maye and the Patriots beat the Houston Texans in a divisional playoff clash on Sunday, the franchise has made company with the Steelers in the record books once more.

“The @Patriots tie the Steelers for the most conference championship appearances by an AFC team all-time (16),” NFL+ wrote Sunday night on X.

The San Francisco 49ers hold the NFL record with 16 conference championship game appearances.

The Steelers had owned...

The Chicago Bears have sent their Divisional Round matchup with the Los Angeles Rams to overtime. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams threw an incredible touchdown to Cole Kmet that you’re just going to have to see to believe.

NO WAY. CALEB WILLIAMS HEAVES IT ON 4TH DOWN.

NBC color commentator Cris Collinsworth said it best. “In all my days, I’ve never seen anything like that.”

The Bears snapped the ball at the 14-yard line on 4th and 4. Williams did...

The Cleveland Browns just finished another disappointing NFL season. They won one more game than in 2024 (5-12), but it wasn’t enough to stop being mediocre.

Ownership decided to part ways with head coach Kevin Stefanski, who agreed to become the Atlanta Falcons’ new head coach on Saturday. With Stefanski set on his next challenge, the Browns continue to look for the right man to lead them to the playoffs again.

They haven’t missed candidates, including defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher, Los Angeles Chargers DC Jesse Minter, Seattle Seahawks DC Aden Durde, Baltimore Ravens OC...

The Chargers submitted an interview request for Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Smith, 43, has been in Pittsburgh for the last two years. The team has informed all of the assistant coaches on Mike Tomlin‘s staff that they are free to pursue opportunities elsewhere, leaving no obstacle between Smith and a lateral move to another offensive coordinator job.

The Chargers are the fourth team to express interest in hiring Smith in recent weeks. The Cardinals and the Titans have already interviewed Smith for their head coaching vacancies, and the Lions put in a request to...

The Seattle Seahawks just beat the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 41-6 in the NFC Divisional Round. That massive a blowout is rare in the NFL postseason, and it illustrates just how great the Seahawks are. Seattle dominated despite the fact that Sam Darnold didn’t do anything special.

The quarterback came into the game with concerns over an oblique injury, and he ended up only throwing 17 times for 124 yards and one touchdown. Darnold also didn’t throw an interception, and that just may be the key to Seattle winning the Super Bowl.

The Seahawks were arguably the...

What is a catch? If you ask a Buffalo Bills fan today, they’ll tell you the answer depends entirely on which officiating crew is on the field.

During Sunday’s NFC Divisional Round matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears, a controversial completion to Davante Adams sent social media into a frenzy.

Late in the first half, with the game knotted at 10-10, Adams hauled in a 12-yard strike from Matthew Stafford. Despite a Bears defender prying the ball loose as they hit the turf, officials ruled the catch complete, citing that Adams was down by contact.

Davante...

For all you Green Day fans out there: You needn’t wait until September to wake them up.

During the Chicago Bears-Los Angeles Rams Divisional Round Game on Sunday, the NFL announced that Green Day will join Bad Bunny at Super Bowl 60:

Coming off his worst-played game in the playoffs, CJ Stroud couldn’t possibly have a worse game the following week, right? He surely did.

The Houston Texans quarterback threw four first-half interceptions, including one returned for a pick-six. Through one-plus quarter of play, Stroud was at one point 10 of 24 for 124 yards with one touchdown and four interceptions.

He did not turn the ball over in the second half, but the damage was already done. What he didn’t do, however, was play well enough in the second half to lead Houston to a win.

Stroud’s struggles with accuracy continued....
