The last week of the college football regular season is here, with rivalry weekend kicking off across the country. For some prospects, this will be their final chance to put tape out there for scouts, while others are just starting the most important stretch of their seasons with the College Football Playoff upcoming.

With that, I have my sixth 2026 mock draft for you all. I included a few players I haven’t yet discussed in this one to highlight some other top prospects. We’re sure to see some crazy risers in the coming months, too. It feels like the first...

We’ve reached the back half of the NFL season, where all 32 teams have played either 10 or 11 games. With much of the season already decided, it’s time to evaluate the performance of each team. Some teams have earned an A+, while others are flunking their way to an F. How does your team’s NFL report card look before Week 12?

Arizona Cardinals: D-

Jacoby Brissett has started just one more game than Kyler Murray, yet he’s outthrown him by 925 yards. The Cardinals have some real weapons in Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr, but losing James...

The Steelers had been one of the top teams in red zone defense during this season, but that fell off in a major way in Chicago. The Bears had the ball inside the 20 three times, and they scored a touchdown on each possession. Prior to the game, Pittsburgh had allowed just a 51.4-percent conversion […]

After a much-needed hate week victory, the Falcons look slightly less hapless. They’re also, against all odds and reason, still in the NFC South race with the Panthers looking mediocre and the Buccaneers collapsing in slow motion. You have to win the easy games to even entertain that thought, though.

That means beating the Saints, as they did, and it also means beating the Jets. One of the league’s worst teams and one that just benched Justin Fields for 36-year-old Tyrod Taylor, who was last a full-time starting quarterback in 2017, New York has loaded up on draft picks in...

The Ravens might be on a five-game winning streak, but are they playing winning football? At least on offense, maybe not. Veteran beat writer Jeff Zrebiec raised the question this week for The Athletic, but even players acknowledge the offense’s issues. While they’ve put up at least 23 points in each game of their streak, […]

The New England Patriots were able to survive their Week 12 game against the Bengals, leaving Cincinnati with a 26-20 victory in hand. Getting that win was a challenge, though: the team of head coach Mike Vrabel did not just have to fight through some uneven play but also multiple injuries to key players.

There were some standout performances, but on the whole the Patriots — in part due to the circumstances — did not look their best versus the three-win Bengals. Our position grades from the game reflect this as well.

49ers’ no-name defense produces no-doubt dominance in victory (paywall)
““I’m a big believer in my abilities on the football field and not letting nobody or nothing shame me from that,” said Brown, a 13-game starter last season. “God has timing for all of us, and tonight was my time.”

Warner, the perpetual voice of reason for the 49ers defense, showed up in crutches — minus the scooter — as a sign of progress in his recovery from a fractured ankle. But his teammates have slowly begun to shape a new identity with their anchor unlikely to return this season.

His...

One of the Miami Dolphins most pleasant surprises over the past couple of weeks has been the production of CB Jack Jones. He was one of the newer faces on the team as he joined back at the end of July and it took him some time to get his footing in this defensive scheme. But before the Dolphins bye, he was playing some top notch football and was the reason the Dolphins were able to beat the Washington Commanders with his interception in overtime. We can only hope he and the rest of the team didn’t get complacent over...

How much time will Broderick Jones miss after being ruled out for the Bills game? Steelers HC Mike Tomlin ruled out OT Broderick Jones on Tuesday for Sunday’s game. That begs the question, will he miss more time? Jones suffered a neck injury in the second half of the team’s last game when a defender […]

The tradition continues for the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions as they will play in their 23rd Thanksgiving Day game on Thursday at Ford Field—the most by any two teams in league history.

Packers defensive end Micah Parsons is no stranger to playing on Thanksgiving Day, even once touting that he has played well on the said day. But it will be his first time playing with the Packers on the holiday showcase, and he will have a crucial role in trying to stop the Lions.

While they still have a few days before the face-off, the 26-year-old...

Darren Woodson, one of the most physical and instinctive safeties of the 1990s sat down on The Pivot Podcast, and the conversation quickly shifted from football history to football folklore, when he was asked about his first true glimpses of Deion Sanders during an early Cowboys training camp.

When the current Colorado head coach, fresh off winning Defensive Player of the Year with the San Francisco 49ers in 1994, landed in Dallas in 1995 and delivered another Super Bowl win in that very first Cowboys season, expectations were already sky-high.

But credibility in Dallas had to be earned between the...
