The Chicago Bears are in the middle of a 41-year Super Bowl drought, and they haven’t exactly looked likely to snap that lengthy dry spell of theirs throughout this century thus far. They’ve only made it to the postseason six times since the turn of the century, but they are now looking to strike gold in their seventh playoff appearance since 2000 after recording an 11-6 season in 2025 that was good enough for them to win the NFC North division crown.

And a player who’s been with the Bears through the dark days to start the 2020s, tight end...

It has been a tough season for Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons, to say the least. After a much-ballyhooed contract dispute with the Dallas Cowboys, Parsons found a new home in Green Bay, only to suffer a season-ending knee injury in Week 15.

He has been reduced to a spectator, as the Packers will tackle the Chicago Bears in the wild-card round on Saturday. Still, he was instrumental in the Packers earning a ticket to the playoffs for the third straight year.

The 26-year-old Parsons underwent surgery last week to repair his torn ACL. On Tuesday, he shared...

Before Vic Fangio was winning Super Bowls with the Philadelphia Eagles, named the head coach of the Denver Broncos, or redefining the modern NFL defense with the Chicago Bears, he was making a name for himself with the San Francisco 49ers, where he coached a defense headlined by NaVorro Bowman, Patrick Willis, and Aldon Smith.

So, with the Eagles now set to take on the 49ers in the Wildcard Round of the 2026 NFL Playoffs, how does it feel for Fangio to see his career come full circle? Well, in his Week 19 media availability session, Fangio [commented on just...

The regular season is in the books, and now it’s playoff time! Before turning our attention to the postseason, it’s time to take a last look at a Week 18 slate that had a couple of consequential results mixed in with a lot of slop.

On Saturday, the Panthers and Buccaneers played football (more on that in a minute) before the Seahawks secured the top seed in the NFC with a win over the 49ers. After a sleepy Sunday slate that featured a lot of backup quarterbacks and sloppy football, the Ravens and the Steelers capped off the regular season...

Here’s a funny thing about loyalty. When it meets reality, even cornerstones become movable. Maxx Crosby has been everything the Las Vegas Raiders could ask for in a franchise cornerstone. He has been relentless, productive, accountable, and unapologetically loyal. He embodies toughness in an organization that has desperately needed stability.

The NFL is ruthless, though, and timelines matter. If the Raiders truly commit to a full teardown after yet another lost season, even a player as revered as Crosby could become their most valuable trade chip. Moving him would signal a hard reset. It would surely be painful and controversial....

The New York Giants enter this offseason at a crossroads, one shaped by urgency rather than patience. A rebuild is already underway, credibility needs restoring, and the most important decision in the process now sits behind the bench. With that context, the answer at head coach should not be complicated.

The Giants finished the 2025 season with a record of 4–13 and dismissed Brian Daboll in November. Ownership chose continuity at general manager by retaining Joe Schoen, a move that signaled restraint instead of another full teardown. That decision alone clarifies the direction of the organizations’ coaching search. This is...

NFL draft prospects have until January 14th to declare for the 2026 draft, but some of these players are already making their decisions clear.

From 2019 to 2021, before the extra eligibility for Covid seasons, NIL payments and the transfer portal really started to kick in, the league averaged 126 underclassmen declarations per class. From 2023 t0 2025, though, that number dropped to just an average of 70, 56 fewer underclassmen per class and a 44 percent overall drop in underclassmen declaring.

With direct payments from schools to players now allowed, plus the NFL still having a rookie wage scale,...

The Atlanta Falcons have already made changes to their leadership following the 2025 NFL season. Raheem Morris is no longer the head coach, and Terry Fontenot was let go as general manager. Furthermore, a new President of Football role has been created in the front office. And the team is already gathering candidates for the position.

The Falcons have requested to interview Detroit Lions executive Mike Disner, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Furthermore, Atlanta has sought permission to speak with Panthers executive Brandt Tilis. Both play key roles in their respective front offices.

Disner has worked in NFL front...

When the Baltimore Ravens take the field for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season, they will have someone other than John Harbaugh leading the charge for the first time since 2008.

That’s right, after 180 regular-season wins, numerous playoff appearances, and a Super Bowl win to boot, the Ravens decided to move on from Harbaugh and turn the page in their franchise’s history, but who should the team hire as only their fourth head coach ever?

When it comes to internal options, there really isn’t an obvious choice, with Todd Monken’s offense a big reason why Harbaugh was fired...
