Though the 2025 NFL season is far from over, with over a month left in the regular season before the postseason kicks off, it’s felt like the New York Giants have played a half-decade’s worth of football.
First came the Russell Wilson era, when the team didn’t win many games, but Malik Nabers was balling out as one of the best young wide receivers in the game. Then came the Cam Skataboo-Jaxson Dart run, when the team beat the Philadelphia Eagles, and vibes were at an all-time high, even if they, again, didn’t win many games. And finally, the Giants...

The fans and media have been conflicted about who to crown as this year’s “team to beat.” Amid a truly strange NFL season that has featured a plethora of upset losses and ugly wins, many people have opted to place their trust with either the Kansas City Chiefs or Philadelphia Eagles, the Super Bowl matchup in two of the last three years. Finally, though we have reached the point where a squad has convincingly taken the lead in both the eye and metrics tests. The Los Angeles Rams are presently the class of the league.
Following a 34-7 drubbing of...

It seems like Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett is playing extra inspired these days. After all, it’s hard not to when his girlfriend fully supports him.

On Tuesday, the Browns posted a video of a mic’d-up Garrett from their game against the Raiders, including his [wholesome...

The Pittsburgh Steelers are gearing up for a crucial Week 13 clash against the Buffalo Bills. While it won’t affect their play on the field, the Steelers must now deal with an off-the-field situation.
Defensive tackle Daniel Ekuale has been suspended without pay for the next five games due to violating the league’s performance-enhancing substances policy, via Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He wouldn’t be able to return until the playoffs at the earliest.
However, Ekuale won’t be playing again in 2025 due to a torn ACL he suffered in Week 8. There is some irony about being suspended...

Why can’t Kevin Patullo just run a normal offense with the Philadelphia Eagles?
Initially joining Nick Sirianni’s staff in 2021 after working together with the Indianapolis Colts, Patullo has watched the offense shine under Shane Steichen, struggle under Brian Johnson, and then become a run-heavy juggernaut helmed by Kellen Moore and through it all, he’s seemingly take notes of what has worked, what hasn’t, and what he would do as an offensive coordinator should he be afforded a chance to call plays.
During the offseason, Sirianni clearly liked the pitch Patullo presented and opted to promote from within instead of...
