The New England Patriots are feeling quite good about themselves in the wake of their big Week 16 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. For backup offensive lineman Ben Brown, things somehow managed to get even sweeter for him on Tuesday ahead of the holidays.

After getting scooped up off the Las Vegas Raiders’ practice squad last season, Brown came in a started 10 games at center for the Pats in 2024. This season, he’s operated as the team’s top backup interior lineman, filling several different roles for first-year head coach Mike Vrabel.

Brown’s contributions have largely flown under the radar...

The Las Vegas Raiders have signed former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Terrell Edmunds to the active roster. Edmunds signed with the Raiders in August but was released as part of final roster cuts. He re-signed to the practice squad the next day.

Edmunds has been active for just one game this season, the Raiders’ Week 1 win over the New England Patriots. He recorded no stats.

Edmunds, 28, began his career as the Steelers’ first-round pick (No. 28 overall) in the 2018 NFL Draft. He spent the first five seasons of his NFL career in Pittsburgh, but he never reached his...

The Cowboys announced three roster moves on Wednesday, including placing OT Tyler Guyton on injured reserve.

The team also signed CB Corey Ballentine to the active roster and elevated LB Justin Barron.

Guyton, 24, began his career at TCU as a tight end before transferring to Oklahoma and converting to offensive tackle. He was a one-year starter at right tackle and was named honorable mention All-Big 12 in 2023.

Guyton had an excellent pre-draft process and tested like an exceptional athlete at the Combine. The Cowboys used the No. 29 pick in the 2024 draft on him.

He’s finishing up...

The New England Patriots took down the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16, and one of the stars of the game was wide receiver Stefon Diggs. The veteran pass catcher led all receivers with nine receptions for 138 yards in this one, and in the process, he took a big step towards reaching an important milestone.

There was some skepticism about the Patriots’ decision to sign Diggs to a three-year, $69 million contract in free agency over the offseason, but he’s been everything the team could have realistically hoped for, both on and off the field.

In 15 games now, Diggs...

The Raiders announced six roster moves on Wednesday, including placing TE Brock Bowers and S Jeremy Chinn on injured reserve.

Bowers was dealing with a knee injury, and the Raiders are already out of the playoffs and contending with the Giants for the first overall draft pick.

The team is also signing S Terrell Edmunds and WR Shedrick Jackson to the active roster, as well as signing LS Luke Elkin and OT Joshua Miles to the practice squad.

Bowers, 23, was a three-year starter at Georgia and won the John Mackey Award for being the best tight end in college...

There are a lot of big-time storylines surrounding the New England Patriots‘ sudden rise back to the top of the NFL. One of them involves quarterback Drake Maye, who is in a neck-and-neck race with Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford for the 2025 MVP Award.

However, Maye isn’t the only guy in New England who could take home a major end-of-the-season award. While TreVeyon Henderson has received some consideration for the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award, it appears as if Maye’s head coach, Mike Vrabel, the leading the pack in the race for another big award.

In his...

Another lost season for the Cincinnati Bengals has invited some speculation as to whether Joe Burrow either wants to or would welcome a trade. The No. 1 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft has proven to be one of the best quarterbacks and best overall players in the league, earning Pro Bowl honors twice.

Considering he’s had three of his six seasons impacted by injuries, 2/3 isn’t bad. Plus, he led the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns last year when he was available for the full season.

Yet, the Bengals have only made the playoffs twice in six...

20 years ago, rookie Aaron Rodgers saw his first extensive action against veteran Deion Sanders. Now veteran Rodgers will face rookie Shedeur Sanders.

With the AFC North division title on the line, the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Cleveland on Sunday to face the Browns. Among the stories tied into the matchup, Cleveland rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders will face 21-year veteran signal caller Aaron Rodgers. This isn’t Rodgers’ first time playing against the Sanders family. He gained some experience with it in his rookie year.

​Ironically, the Baltimore Ravens will face the Green Bay Packers Saturday in Title Town. However, [20...

The Detroit Lions (8-7) and Minnesota Vikings (7-8) will square off in a Week 17 NFC North battle on Christmas Day. Because the Lions and Vikings have already played this season, this week’s Honolulu Blueprint will look a bit different. Instead of starting from scratch, we will revisit the keys to victory from Week 9, examine what worked and what didn’t, then identify what the Lions need to adjust in Week 17.

If the Lions want to salvage their season by proving their identity remains intact, they’ll need to follow the keys to victory laid out in this week’s Honolulu...

The New England Patriots clinched a spot in the postseason with their 28-24 comeback victory over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16. In the process, second-year quarterback Drake Maye further solidified himself as one of the top MVP candidates in the league.

Maye completed 31 of his 44 pass attempts for 380 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 25 yards on 10 carries. Maye committed a pair of turnovers along the way (one interception, one fumble), but when his team needed him to step up in the fourth quarter, he delivered two huge drives that ended with touchdowns....

The Denver Broncos (12-3) are reeling from a home upset on Sunday that derailed their 11-game win streak. They turn the page quickly, however, with a road game on Christmas night against the Kansas City Chiefs (6-9). With the Chiefs down to their third-string quarterback, the Broncos have a chance to get right back on track with extra time to prepare for a critical Week 18 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Kickoff is set for 6:15 p.m. Mile High time on Thursday, December 25, 2025 at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. You can watch the...
