The Washington Commanders quarterback room has been in the spotlight all season, and now veteran Marcus Mariota is drawing attention for something off the field. After nearly 11 years in the NFL, the Washington quarterback finally clarified the proper pronunciation of his last name, revealing that fans and media have been getting it slightly wrong since his days with the Oregon Ducks. The moment quickly sparked league-wide conversation and gave Commanders fans another reason to appreciate a respected voice in the locker room.

The clarification follows a recent Sunday Night Football broadcast in which analyst Cris Collinsworth used the heritage-correct...

The New York Jets improved to 3-9 with Week 13’s upset win over the 4-8 Atlanta Falcons. Despite trailing by a touchdown late in the fourth quarter, New York rallied. The Jets scored 10 points in the final two minutes and sealed the victory with Nick Folk’s 56-yard field goal as time expired.

After a back-and-forth battle, 36-year-old Tyrod Taylor beat 37-year-old Kirk Cousins in a battle of the backups. Cousins is starting in place of an injured Michael Penix Jr., who won the Falcons’ job last season. Taylor took the reins in East Rutherford when the [Jets benched Justin...

Neither the Bengals nor the Bills are the teams that most experts expected them to be this year. As the season got underway, the Bengals had high hopes that quarterback Joe Burrow would stay healthy this season and his team would contend for the AFC North title. Instead, the oft-injured Burrow has played just 3 games and the Bengals have stumbled to a 4-8 record.

The Bills started the season as the favorites to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. The Bills have dominated the AFC East for years, but they have been stopped in the playoffs by the...

The Pittsburgh Steelers have blown a halftime lead. If that sounds familiar to you, it’s because it is. Pittsburgh has been a miserable second-half team, and the first-half leads they’ve frequently held have amounted to little. Of the Steelers’ 12 games this season, they’ve led at the break in nine of them. They’ve lost four […]

Travis Kelce is bringing in the Christmas cheer in a new video for the Kansas City Chiefs.

In the annual holiday video, the Chiefs’ tight end is “Kelce on the Shelfie,” a nod to the classic Elf on the Shelf game. During the video, a claymation version of the Kelce, who is causing trouble as his teammates are away.

The video also features Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce, as the narrator.

“‘Twas the month before Christmas, almost the Thanksgiving game. When the Chiefs found an elf, one that needed a name,” Donna begins the narration.

Donna notes that the elf requested...

As reported earlier this week, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert underwent surgery to address a broken bone in his left (non-throwing) hand. Per Nick Shook of NFL.com, while the 27-year-old passer is still considered day-to-day at the moment, the team — specifically head coach Jim Harbaugh — is “optimistic” that Herbert will be the one under center to start the game on Monday night.

According to Omar Ruiz of NFL Network, Herbert described the surgery, telling reporters that a plate and a few screws were put into his hand during the procedure. The current plan is just to prepare as...

The Texans are currently one of the hottest teams in the NFL, and are now set to face the Chiefs in Kansas City. This is arguably the biggest game of the season for the Texans so far, and have the ability to stop quarterback Patrick Mahomes from getting into the playoffs, which would make their journey to the Super Bowl that much easier.

Houston has had great games with Kansas City throughout the past few years, but have not won since the Deshaun Watson era in 2019. The Texans will be ready for this matchup, and the whole league will...

When news broke that Darius Slay and the Pittsburgh Steelers had agreed to mutually part ways after their single-season partnership went south, fans around the NFL pegged one specific team with whom “Big Play” should take the field next: the Philadelphia Eagles.

On paper, it made sense, right? Slay played well for the Eagles, knows Vic Fangio’s scheme, and technically already won one Super Bowl ring this year with the organization. Why not try to contribute to a second one down the stretch, too?

Fortunately for Eagles fans, Howie Roseman was on that same page and put in a claim...

The New Orleans Saints fell to 2-10 on the season with Week 13’s loss to the Miami Dolphins. New Orleans has already been eliminated from playoff contention, missing the postseason for the fifth straight year. Still, Cameron Jordan has been a bright spot for the team. He surpassed Drew Brees for the most games played in Saints history.

Jordan has been a fixture on New Orleans’ defensive line since he was drafted 24th overall in 2011. He’s missed just two games in his incredible career. And while he’s set to become a free agent after the 2025 season, it’s difficult...

Joe Burrow made his triumphant return to the field on Thanksgiving night and led the Cincinnati Bengals to an unlikely win over the Ravens in Baltimore before feasting on turkey with half the team on national television. Now the Bengals are 4-8 and only two games behind the Steelers and Ravens, and there is a path to the playoffs that seems not-so-long.

While Bengals fans are relieved their quarterback is back on the field, they’re also concerned about his turf toe injury and whether or not it could be re-aggravated. Burrow is wearing a protective plate under his toe, but...

The Las Vegas Raiders watched a former franchise head coach land a high-profile gig. Let alone someone with USC ties to Pete Carroll in Lane Kiffin — who landed at LSU Sunday.

Carroll once saw a 31-year-old Kiffin go from USC to the Raiders during a time they were in Oakland. He even got asked if he had any thought of watching Kiffin jam from Ole Miss and accept the offer from a rival.

“I don’t have any opinion of what he did. I just talked to him the way I do normally,” Carroll answered via Nick Walters of Vegas...
