The Pittsburgh Steelers got utterly embarrassed in their 26-7 Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills, and DL Cam Heyward isn’t happy with how his team played. Heyward said there were a host of issues that contributed to Pittsburgh’s struggles, but that nobody on the team played well, nor should they think they did. “It […]

Ben Roethlisberger has been in the same shoes as Aaron Rodgers when it comes to playing—or not—through injuries. Because of that, he can provide a rare perspective on the subject matter. This past Sunday, Rodgers played for the Steelers despite multiple fractures in his non-throwing wrist. While it clearly limited him in some aspects, did […]

The Carolina Panthers met the expectations of the vast majority of their fans for the 2025 season before their bye week. Now, with four games left to play on the season, they have the opportunity to exceed them.

Unless the Panthers lose to the hapless New Orleans Saints next week, we’re going to spend the majority of December discussing their ability and chances to challenge the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the NFC South crown.

With that in mind, and in addition to our standard confidence question, we’re asking for your win total prediction for the Panthers. This will be the...

Less than a week ago, the vibes were at an all-time high in Detroit. Frank Ragnow was set to return, the Detroit Lions had a chance to get even with the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving, and it was finally time to re-join the playoff picture.

What a difference a week makes.

This week, we had the pleasure of connecting with David Halprin, Deputy Manager for Blogging the Boys, to give us some insight into Jerry’s world. We learned about how this team has responded in the face of tragedy, why Dak Prescott is the main reason this Dallas Cowboys’...

Week 14 of the fantasy season is here, and tight end calls will decide playoff fates in leagues where the margin is razor-thin. Four teams are on bye this week — the Patriots, Giants, 49ers, and Panthers — reducing the pool and pushing managers to look beyond the obvious headliners for playable volume and matchup edges. The slate features several tight ends in plus-or-minus spots based on opponent tendencies and confirmed Week 14 matchups.​

Start ’em tight ends in fantasy football Week 14

Jacksonville has been one of the friendliest defenses to tight ends,...

Let’s take one last look back at the New York Giants’ 33-15 loss to the New England Patriots on Monday night. Here are five plays, or sequences of plays, that made a difference.

Play(s) 1: Special teams are still a problem

The Giants had several special teams mishaps that led to their ultimate demise. From the opening kickoff that gave Drake Maye the football at the 39-yard line to Younghoe Koo’s fascinating missed field goal where he kicked the ground — there wasn’t a dull moment! Marcus Jones returned a punt 94 yards for a touchdown that quickly gave...

Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons discussed how the team’s upcoming head coaching search has to focus on leadership and building the culture following Sunday’s embarrassing 25-3 Week 13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. That got us thinking. Which potential coaching candidates would be culture-driven hires?

We’ve identified five in particular.

Mike McCarthy, unemployed

Mike McCarthy enjoyed two lengthy stints as the head coach of the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys. He has direct ties to Titans president Chad Brinker, who was alongside him in Green Bay for a period. A Super Bowl winner with a 60.8% all-time...

The Athletic’s Dane Brugler released his first mock draft of the 2026 NFL Draft cycle, and with the 14th overall pick, Brugler has the Pittsburgh Steelers selecting Alabama QB Ty Simpson. “Another offseason in which the Steelers will find themselves at a quarterback crossroads …Even if his inexperience is an understandable concern, Simpson processes quickly, […]

Pittsburgh Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger stunned the college football world by floating a coaching idea no one saw coming — Mike Tomlin, the longtime face and head coach of the Steelers, taking over at Penn State.

The two-time Super Bowl champion opened the door to that possibility during the latest episode of his Footbahlin podcast, where he discussed the current state of the Steelers and Tomlin’s future.

Roethlisberger, who spent nearly his entire career playing under Tomlin, suggested the franchise may be approaching a crossroads. The former superstar field general suggested Tomlin should consider stepping into that role, emphasizing his...

In his first career Monday Night Football start, Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was in complete control as he led New England to their tenth straight victory with a 33-15 win over the Giants.

After a shakier game last week in Cincinnati, Maye was decisive throughout the night finishing the game without a turnover-worthy play while generating +0.31 EPA per play (82nd percentile).

Entering the week, Maye had totaled 1,927 passing yards (240 more than any other quarterback) and a 70 percent completion percentage (3rd highest) against single-high safety looks — something the Giants deployed at the sixth-highest rate in football....

I knew my prediction last week was bold, and it was the biggest whiff I’ve had so far this year. Sometimes you’ve got to go big or go home, and I learned that sometimes shooting that far up is risky. This week, I want to predict something that seems bold, but not too bold.

The Detroit Lions host the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night, and the Cowboys come in with the number two offense in the NFL, averaging 29.3 points per game. When the Cowboys score over 24 points, they are 5-1-1. In their other five losses, they scored 14,...
