Any shortcomings that the Los Angeles Rams had against the Seattle Seahawks in both games in 2025 can essentially boil down to the Rams failing to close out the Seahawks in the second half of contests that they should have won easily. In Week 11, the Rams intercepted Sam Darnold with a 21-12 lead and 11 minutes left in the game but couldn’t move the ball on their last three drives and Seattle ended up getting a 64-yard field goal try to win it and the kick wasn’t as close as the final 21-19 score.

In Week 16, the Rams...

Considered one of the top lineman prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft and a consensus first-round talent, Miami (FL) offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa announced this week on his Instagram that he will forgo his senior year of college and declare for the draft. Following in the steps of last year’s No. 1 overall pick, Mauigoa projects as a potential top 10 pick after a strong finish to his college career under the brightest of lights.

The Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly agreed to sign Mike McCarthy as their new head coach. A couple of weeks after parting ways with Mike Tomlin, who coached them for 19 years, they found their guy.

McCarthy last coached the Dallas Cowboys in the 2024 season. Jerry Jones fired him after a 7-10 record in a season that included multiple injuries for the NFC East team. McCarthy is headed back home to take over a Steelers team without a playoff win in the last nine years.

Aaron Rodgers’ future remains unclear after he joined the Steelers to play under Mike Tomlin. Team...

The Seattle Seahawks need all the help they can get at running back with Zach Charbonnet out for the season, and they’re taking no chances in terms of available depth.

Having brought back George Holani from injured reserve, the Seahawks also elevated Cam Akers and Velus Jones Jr to the game day roster for Sunday’s NFC Championship against the Los Angeles Rams. This gives the Seahawks four running backs available: Kenneth Walker III, Holani, Akers, and Jones. Holani, Akers, and Jones are also all kickoff return options.

While Akers and Jones maxed out their regular season practice squad elevations, those...

Texans GM Nick Caserio said that RB Joe Mixon‘s status is uncertain for next year after suffering a freak accident last offseason that caused him to miss the entire 2025 season.

“We haven’t seen Joe in a little bit, so I think at some point we’ll see him and then we’ll be able to evaluate kind of where he is, and then based on information, we’ll see where his status is,” Caserio said, via ESPN.

The details are still vague, and Caserio didn’t confirm what happened to Mixon, but he confirmed that it wasn’t anything that he did...

New Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy needs 20 wins to pass Mike Tomlin and Chuck Noll for ninth place in NFL history in all-time coaching victories. Tomlin tied Noll for the franchise record with 193 wins after the Steelers’ Week 18 victory over the Baltimore Ravens.
