The Shedeur Sanders era has officially begun in Cleveland, the Browns naming him the starting quarterback for their next game. Presumably, he will remain in the starting lineup as long as his play justifies it. Of course, in Cleveland, all he has to do is be better than other bad quarterbacks, so the bar is […]

After scoring a TD to take a 7-3 lead on their opening drive, the Green Bay Packers’ defense held the Minnesota Vikings to a punt. And what a punt it was: Ryan Wright hit a beautiful coffin corner punt that shot sideways out of bounds at the 2-yard line. That set the Packers up in the shadow of the goal posts to start their next drive.
The Packers picked up a 1st down on their first 3 plays of the drive, but now found themselves facing 3rd & 10 on their own 19.
They come out in 11 personnel (1...

The San Francisco 49ers overcame a rocky start by Brock Purdy to beat the Carolina Panthers on Monday Night Football in Week 12. Purdy tossed three interceptions in the first half but San Francisco rode a big game from Christian McCaffrey and a strong defensive effort to victory.
After the game, tempers flared as Jauan Jennings went after Tre’von Moehrig. The 49ers’ wideout took a swing at the Panthers’ safety and had to be restrained by teammates.
It didn’t take long to figure out exactly why Jennings had an issue with Moehrig. Cameras captured the low blow that instigated the...

The San Francisco 49ers moved to 8-4 with a 20-9 win vs. the Carolina Panthers Monday night, and the victory showcased the leadership by George Kittle that has helped guide the team through weeks of injuries. With multiple starters sidelined for long stretches, the 49ers mentality has been tested repeatedly, yet the San Francisco standard still defined the outcome on Monday night. That theme became the story when the veteran tight end explained why the group continues to respond.
Following the win, SportsCenter posted to X (formerly known as Twitter) a clip of the six-time Pro Bowler discussing how the...

There’s no doubt that the Bears have exceeded expectations this season. They are riding their second four-game winning streak of the season and they are in first place in the NFC North. They have grown dramatically with Ben Johnson at head coach and Caleb Williams as the team’s second-year quarterback. The team has had some impressive fourth-quarter comebacks to this point in the season and they are clearly one of the best stories in the league.
But now the schedule goes from challenging to brutal, and it starts with Chicago’s Black Friday game against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia...

Week 13 of the 2025 NFL season is here. For many, this is the final stretch before the fantasy football playoffs. Every touch, every snap, every red-zone carry matters now more than ever. Running back remains the position that most reliably swings weekly outcomes. That’s whether through volume dominance, explosive efficiency, or game-script fortune.
Week 12 delivered its own chaos, of course. We saw Christian McCaffrey’s latest masterclass to backfield shakeups across multiple teams. This left managers juggling injuries, workload shifts, and uncertain committee roles. With zero teams on bye in Week 13, the board is finally...

The New York Giants made a notable roster move Monday by ending the Jude McAtamney era, a shift that sparked strong reaction from Giants fans across social media. The release of McAtamney comes months after his infamous performance earlier in the season, and it arrives during a stretch in which the Giants kicking struggles have become part of a broader collapse for the team. What seems to be a simple transaction, instead carries emotional weight for a fanbase that never moved past one costly October afternoon.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter took to his X (formerly known as Twitter) to share that...
