With Brian Daboll having been fired as New York Giants head coach on Monday, GM Joe Schoen will now lead a search for a new head coach. I posted the list of potential candidates below a week ago, but it is appropriate now to bring that list back to the forefront

Below, a list of 10 coaches worth consideration.

Current college coaches

Lane Kiffin — The only current college head coach on my list, and an OBVIOUS candidate. You want a head coach who you know can help Jaxson Dart continue his upward arc as an NFL quarterback? How...

The firings of Brian Callahan and Brian Daboll figure to only be the beginning. Here are seven head coaches to watch in the second half of the season.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Pittsburgh Steelers defensive captain Cam Heyward made an interesting comment after Sunday night’s lopsided loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. It appears communication issues are still a major problem for the defense.

“I’m not looking for an excuse. I’m looking to play better. We talk about it, but do we really know what we’re doing play in and play out? Heyward said. “Do we trust the guy next to us? Offense, defense, do we trust each other to be in the right spot to make plays?”

Heading into Week 11, it’s certainly not an encouraging sign if...

Brandin Echols had his worst game of the season on Sunday, but the same could be said of many Steelers. Graduating into the primary slot defender due to injuries, he struggled against stud WR Ladd McConkey. But he knows that’s his job no matter who is lined up across from him. And he also knows […]

With Monday Night Football and NFL Week 10 behind us, Thursday Night Football and Week 11 are just around the corner as fantasy managers tackled the tumultuous highs and lows of the Fantasy Football season. Week 11 kicks off when the New York Jets (2-7) take on the New England Patriots (8-2) on another installment of Thursday Night Football. Ahead of the action, see which players we’re starting and sitting for this AFC East divisional tilt.

The New York Jets come into Week 11 following a resilient 27-20 victory over the Cleveland Browns. A 42-yard receiving touchdown from RB Breece...

The New York Giants squandered a 10-point fourth-quarter lead in Chicago — a collapse that marked another regime-defining loss and ultimately sealed Brian Daboll’s fate as head coach. The season is over from a playoff perspective, and the Giants sit at 2-8. Still, the future looks bright with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, who was sensational against the Bears before leaving the game with a concussion early in the fourth quarter.

Dart finished 19 of 29 for 242 yards with two rushing touchdowns and 66 yards on the ground. Outside of one drive, the Giants’ running backs generated very little on...

With Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season fast approaching, fantasy football managers are entering the most crucial stretch of the year. The playoffs are just a few weeks away. Every start/sit decision could swing the outcome of a season. Fortunately, this week’s running back rankings aren’t heavily impacted by byes. Only the Colts and Saints are off. This means fantasy rosters will be nearly at full strength.

Key insights

That also means managers won’t have to navigate absences from top names like Christian McCaffrey, Breece Hall, or Bijan Robinson. However, injuries to key contributors like Isiah Pacheco, JK...

Good morning Gang Green Nation!

The New York Jets have a short week to prepare for a divisional showdown against the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football. With Garrett Wilson sidelined with a knee injury the Jets offense will be badly outgunned by a very good Patriots defense. Throw in a Patriots offense led by MVP candidate Drake Maye at quarterback and the Jets’ chances of victory Thursday do not look good. Still, the woeful Miami Dolphins just got finished thrashing the Buffalo Bills. You just never know how things will play out from game to game in the...

Normally, I’d say “bye-week blues,” because watching pro football without the Cincinnati Bengals is obviously not nearly as much fun. But these aren’t normal times. I don’t think I’ve ever seen two consecutive losses as painful as the last two. Sure, there have been bad ones before—that’s nothing new in Bengals Country—but you’d have to go way back to find two that awful in back-to-back weeks.

Bengals fans everywhere feel drained. Another season lost. Same story.

That’s why this bye week was… kind of nice.

We all needed a break—from yelling, from pacing, from muttering at the TV. None of...

Stephen Jones said the Cowboys are getting a defensive ‘quarterback’ back, and no one is talking about it – Mauricio Rodriguez, A to Z Sports

The Cowboys have really struggled at safety all season. Will getting Malik Hooker back help at all?

Hooker was placed on Injured Reserve in early October after he suffered a toe injury during the Cowboys’ tie to the Green Bay Packers in Week 4. Now, he’s trending toward returning from injury, though it remains unclear if he’ll be ready to go for Week 11. It sounds likely based on Jones’ comments.

Player: S Juan Thornhill Stock Value: Sold Reasoning: The Steelers waived veteran S Juan Thornhill yesterday, an unsurprising move given his absence from the field in recent weeks. Despite injuries at safety, he hasn’t played, the team choosing to move Jalen Ramsey to the back end. Though the Steelers did not waive him without reason; […]

With the Detroit Lions back on the top of the NFC North standings, they currently hold their own destiny to win their third-straight divisional title.

Week 10 wasn’t particularly kind to the rest of the division, resulting in the following standings through Week 10:

1. Lions: 6-3
2. Bears: 6-3
3. Packers: 5-3-1
4. Vikings: 4-5

Here’s how each team fared this week:

Lions: Beat the Commanders comfortably with a 44-22 victory. Offense came back alive with Dan Campbell calling plays and the outcome was never in doubt.

Bears: Barely beat the Giants at home, 24-20. Overcame a 10-point fourth...
