At the end of Week 11, the Dallas Cowboys had their fans thinking playoffs.
Now granted, even after taking care of business against the lowly Las Vegas Raiders on their home turf, the Cowboys are still 4-5-1, with the NFC East basically out of reach and the final wildcard spot currently held by the 7-4 San Francisco 49ers.
With just seven weeks left in the 2025 NFL season, the margin of error is rapidly closing for Brian Schottenheimer’s squad, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the Cowboys are down and out, as if they play like they did in Las Vegas...

Dallas rolled to a 33-16 win in Las Vegas on Monday, but the game got off to an odd start for the Cowboys. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer left the Cowboys’ top two wide receivers, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, on the bench for the team’s first offensive series. Both players ended up making major contributions in the Cowboys’ victory, but it was initially unclear why they didn’t start.
Owner Jerry Jones addressed the situation afterward (links via Jon Machota of The Athletic), saying Schottenheimer’s decision “had to do with meeting type discipline.” Jones added that Lamb and Pickens *“had...

Cincinnati Bengals star receiver Ja’Marr Chase was suspended one game for spitting at Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey. However, Chase disagreed with the punishment.
The NFL has decided to stand firm, denying Chase’s suspension appeal. He will now miss the Week 12 matchup against the New England Patriots and forfeit his game check of $507,000, via Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The NFL season is quickly moving through November, Thanksgiving is on the horizon, and yet it still feels like each week a different team ends up on the top of everyone’s power rankings.
The Chicago Bears keep on winning, improbably, but are moving in the right direction as they now sit atop their division.
The Kansas City Chiefs are falling, along with the other teams that can’t seem to win consistently. And then there are teams like the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers who keep winning but somehow not that impressively.
But debate is half the fun of the...

The New England Patriots have been one of the best teams in the NFL all season and currently hold one of the best records in the AFC.
If the season concluded today, the Patriots would secure the No. 2 seed in the conference, just behind the Denver Broncos. Both teams share the same 9-2 record, but the Broncos hold the tiebreakers over New England.
The Broncos have performed at a level comparable to the Patriots this season and, on Sunday, secured a significant victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. With one of the top defenses in the NFL, Boston Sports...

The NFL has upheld the one-game suspension for Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, the league announced on Tuesday.
Chase appealed the suspension, levied for spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey in Sunday’s 34-12 Steelers victory in Pittsburgh.
The hearing was held on Tuesday by jointly appointed NFL-NFLPA hearing officer Jordy Nelson, a former wide receiver with the Green Bay Packers.
Chase denied having spit on Ramsey after the game, but video evidence clearly showed that he did. Despite that, he appealed the decision, but to no avail. He will serve his one game suspension when the Bengals...
When video evidence of Ja’Marr Chase spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey was posted, many assumed the NFL would hand down a suspension to the Bengals’ star wide receiver, and that is exactly what happened. Chase was hit with a one-game ban, which he appealed. Chase’s argument was shaky at best, arguing that if he was spitting on Ramsey on purpose, he would have spit in his face and not on Ramsey’s jersey or the ground.
Tuesday night, we learned that Jordy Nelson, who was the hearing officer assigned to Chase’s appeal, decided to uphold the suspension.
Chase will...
