It’s a rebuild for this current iteration of the Cleveland Browns. With the Deshaun Watson trade turning out to be a disaster, the team has now pivoted in a new direction. Gone are some of the older veterans that were on the team last year, with an incoming influx of new, young talent that have emerged (mainly on the defensive side), the team has shown signs that they aren’t as far off. Despite what the record says, the Browns have one of the top-ranked defenses in the league (both basic and advanced statistics back up that claim), but are being...

The Steelers have played some of their best defense of the season in the past three weeks, and it’s hardly a coincidence. While the reconfigured secondary is undoubtedly a factor, that’s not the only thing that has changed. As others have observed, the defense has also offered more varied looks—and thus less predictability. credit where […]

Accuracy & Good Ball Placement
Dillon Gabriel has struggled with accuracy issues and missed open receivers this season, so the team is looking to Shedeur Sanders for an upgrade in the passing game on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Accuracy was actually one of Sanders’ strengths in college, so it will be good to see if his skill set can translate to the NFL.
Confidence & Good Decision Making
There is certainly a lot of pressure on Sanders going into this game. Both his supporters and critics have had a lot of opinions on him this season, so all...

The Detroit Lions may be 12.5-point favorites over the New York Giants this week, but they better not take them lightly. Despite their 2-9 record, the Giants have been scrappy this year. Not only have both of their wins come against teams currently in playoff spots (Chargers, Eagles), but they’ve played almost everyone close, and even held mutli-score leads on several opponents in which they ultimately lost to.
“This team has been in a ton of these games, man,” coach Dan Campbell said this week. “And a few of these games they’ve been up a couple of scores and lost...

As everyone saw, Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders made his official NFL debut against the Baltimore Ravens. Sanders started in the second half after rookie Dillon Gabriel left the game to be evaluated for a concussion. Sanders began to warm up, and he was met with a rousing reaction from the Cleveland faithful. In terms of his performance, it wasn’t great.
However, expecting Sanders to light up an improving, creative and flexible Ravens defense was never going to be the case. A lot of negatives, but growth is possible heading into Week 12 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. However,...

The Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders went through their week of practice with very different injury situations. The Browns had a long list of players to start the week, while the Raiders just had one. Cleveland added WR Jamari Thrash to their list on Thursday, but the Raiders addition of DE Maxx Crosby was the big storyline on Thursday.
Going into Friday, besides Crosby, the status of TE David Njoku was a priority. The hulking tight end wasn’t able to participate in the first two practices of the week.
Friday’s final injury report had good news for both teams,...

One of the bigger topics of discussion – and frustration – with Denver Broncos over the last several weeks has been how often it seemed Bo Nix was looking Troy Franklin’s way. The frustration was stemming from Franklin’s issue with drops and with contested catches. He hasn’t been great in either category.
Well, we have a metric that may explain why Nix keeps going back to Franklin. He’s winning his routes better than just about any receiver in the league. With the sixth-highest route win rate over the past month, according to Fantasy Points Data.
On the positive, Franklin redeemed...

While Jaylen Warren’s playing time is a weekly conversation, Arthur Smith considers it a good problem to have, along with Kenneth Gainwell. Coming off his second 100-yard, two-touchdown game of the year, Gainwell has also proven his value. But how do you balance the workload between the two, while trying to satisfy everybody? For most […]

Sitting at 3-8, the Washington Commanders are having the kind of season that very few people expected following their impressive playoff success in January when the team beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions on the road to reaching the NFC Championship game.
The magic of Jayden Daniels’ rookie season seemed to suffuse everything in the organization in 2024. By contrast, 2025 has been a year of frustration, injury and disappointment. At this point, qualification for the playoffs seems out of reach, to say nothing of the likelihood of playoff success.
That caused us, in this week’s Hogs Haven...
