The Pittsburgh Steelers have found their next special teams ace. A team that has had one for years and decades – John Fiala of the late 90s, Clint Kreidwalt, Sean Morey, and Chidi Iwuoma of the mid-2000s, Darrius Heyward-Bey and Tyler Matakevich of the mid-late 2010s, and Miles Killebrew of the 2020s, Carson Bruener is […]

Cardinals left tackle Paris Johnson is expected to miss time due to a sprained MCL, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Johnson, 24, left Sunday’s game against the Rams and did not return. He was replaced by undrafted rookie Josh Fryar, who has become a regular figure in Arizona’s offense in the last month. He has played 87 snaps in the last four weeks, including a Week 11 start at right tackle, per Pro Football Focus (subscription required). Fryar will likely start in Johnson’s place in Week 15 if the 2023 first-round pick cannot go.
Johnson has been one of the...

To say the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense has been a mess in 2025 would be an understatement.
After showing early signs of issues before the bye, the Birds have become increasingly suspect on the offensive side of the ball, with a crushing five-turnover game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football serving as one of the true low-water marks of the Nick Sirianni era.
But what has been the Eagles’ biggest issue? Has it been Hurts’ play? Their inability to run the ball consistently due to poor offensive line play and Saquon Barkley’s lateral running style? Or is it...

Mike Tomlin is not here for your movie script questions. While the rest of the NFL is buzzing about 44-year-old Philip Rivers climbing out of retirement to join the Indianapolis Colts, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ head coach got blindsided by the news in hilarious fashion.
When a reporter asked if a 44-year-old like Rivers can come back after five years away and still play, Mike Tomlin stared wide-eyed and said, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.” When the Colts angle was explained, he shrugged it off: “That’s none of my business. I’m trying to be ready for the Dolphins.”...

On Tuesday, the Indianapolis Colts announced a number of roster moves, including placing starting quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) and backup cornerback Chris Lammons (foot) on injured reserve.
The Colts also signed cornerback Cameron Mitchell to the active roster and re-signed cornerback Tony Pride Jr. to the team’s practice squad again.
With veteran cornerback Charvarius Ward also in the concussion protocol, having suffered his third concussion of the season this past Sunday, the Colts clearly were looking to bolster their cornerback depth with some familiar faces—having both Ward and Lammons out of action for Week 15 on the road against the...

Can you believe it’s already Week 15? Neither can I. Each week in the NFL brings massive playoff implications and marquee matchups in a year where it seems like anybody can win any given game, and that was no different this week.
Most notably, the Texans put the Chiefs even further behind in the AFC playoff race on Sunday night with a 20-10 victory. The Chargers essentially sealed Kansas City’s fate with a win over the Eagles in overtime on Monday, meaning the NFL’s modern dynasty will very likely be watching the playoffs at home.
Elsewhere, the Rams and Seahawks...

While most 44-year-olds are too busy tending to their aching knees and complaining about hearing “6-7” 6,767 times a day, Philip Rivers is making a comeback with the Indianapolis Colts.
The Colts have signed Rivers to their practice squad on Tuesday following the season-ending Achilles injury to Daniel Jones. The move raised not a few eyebrows, especially since Rivers hasn’t played in the NFL since leading the Colts to the Wild Card round of the playoffs in 2021.
But apparently, based on a story shared by former NFL star JJ Watt, Rivers is still quite familiar with the system being...

If your fantasy football team is still alive entering Week 15, every roster choice carries playoff-level weight. Right now, one position that is extremely volatile or matchup-dependent is defense/special teams. A unit that scores 18 points one week can give you two the next. Also, a single sack, turnover, or defensive touchdown can completely swing a playoff matchup. With no bye weeks left, fantasy managers now have the full league available. That makes it essential to identify the defenses with the clearest path to sacks, turnovers, and low points allowed.
Below are the D/ST units you should trust and the...

It’s been almost a month since New York Jets CB Kris Boyd was shot and almost killed in Manhattan. On Monday, the suspect in the shooting was caught and is now charged, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.
The suspect has been identified as 20-year-old Frederick Green from the Bronx, following a lengthy manhunt. He was taken into custody near the University at Buffalo North Campus in Amherst, New York. On Tuesday, Green was taken to the Midtown Manhattan police precinct to be charged.
Green is charged with attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. On Nov. 16, the...

You know what rookie I have ignored for most of these posts throughout the season?
William Wagner.
Evan McPherson has kicked 26 field goals and 31 extra points this season, and Ryan Rehkow has punted the ball 50 times. Wagner has snapped every one of those balls, and do you know why we never hear his name? Because they are always on the money.
We were spoiled with 13 years of Clark Harris’ reliability. His Week 1 injury in 2022 thrust tight end Mitchell Wilcox into the unenviable position of having to replace him on the fly. It did not...

Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson still isn’t in the top-30 for receiving yards by a rookie this season, but L.A.‘s third option at the position is making a difference while he isn’t making any catches. In this film breakdown of Ferguson’s run blocking against the Cardinals in Week 14, the YouTube channel Saturday Morning Inspection highlights why L.A.‘s top pick is valuable already before he becomes a weapon in Sean McVay’s offense.
After watching this video, do you think more highly of Ferguson’s contributions to the Rams as a rookie than you did before you got here?
Was that blocking...
