Tom Brady tormented the Buffalo Bills throughout his iconic career with the New England Patriots. He now wouldn’t mind seeing his former AFC East rival finally climb the mountaintop.

The Bills are seeking their first Super Bowl title in franchise history. After watching them fall short of an AFC championship in six straight playoff appearances, some fans have adopted Josh Allen and Co. as a sentimental favorite.

Their path to the Super Bowl may run through Foxborough, but Brady also feels a soft spot for the Bills. The Fox broadcast discussed his former foe on Thursday’s “The Herd with Colin...

The New York Giants invested heavily in their secondary during the 2025 off-season. Their biggest investment was cornerback Paulson Adebo, who signed a three-year, $54 million contract with $38.5 million guaranteed. Adebo was the clear-cut number one cornerback heading into training camp, with Cor’Dale Flott and Tae Banks alternating as cornerback two, and Dru Phillips as the nickel defender.

The rotation of Flott and Banks was a predictable failure, as the Giants used Banks in man coverage and Flott in zone coverage. Banks’ atrocious run defense and inconsistent effort forced him to the bench, while Flott seized the day and...

Prior to the start of the playoffs, none of The Athletic’s 42 NFL staff members picked the New England Patriots to win the Super Bowl.

Following their convincing wild-card round win vs. the Los Angeles Chargers, the Patriots were suddenly the AFC favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook.

With DeMeco Ryans’ Houston Texans facing injury concerns ahead of Sunday afternoon’s AFC Divisional Round game against New England, Mike Vrabel’s Patriots are slight favorites in the matchup.

For the second week in a row, The Athletic asked a panel of NFL coaches and executives to pick winners for the weekend’s contests and the...

When I look at the Dallas Cowboys heading into the first round, I keep coming back to the same thought: if they go defensive end or linebacker early, they shouldn’t hesitate to go defense again.

This defense needs a true stabilizer on the back end, and that’s why I have landed on Dillon Thieneman as the 20th pick in the first-round for the Cowboys.

Safety isn’t always the pick that excites people on draft night, but it’s the pick you appreciate a lot more once the season starts.

I’m firmly in the camp that Dallas needs someone who can settle...

The Pittsburgh Steelers will soon start interviewing candidates for their head coaching vacancy. While the Steelers haven’t gone through this process very often, they’ve had a particular formula in the past. Their three head coaches since 1969 have all been cut from a similar cloth. They’ve been young coaches with a background on the defensive […]

The Green Bay Packers search for a defensive coordinator before the 2024 season ended with a roll of the dice, as head coach Matt LaFleur opted to take a chance on Boston College coach Jeff Hafley. Two years later, there could be a new Packers coaching search for a defensive play-caller with Hafley one of the top head-coaching candidates this offseason.

There is a critical factor to note when it comes to highlighting potential targets to be the next Packers defensive coordinator. As Justis Mosqueda of AcmePackingCompany.com has covered in-depth, Green Bay spends well below the league average on assistant...

To end his comeback NFL season, Darren Waller witnessed the end of Mike McDaniel in real time. The day after the NFL regular season ends, a.k.a. Black Monday, is often when coaches get fired.

Miami deviated from that script a bit with its dismissal of its head coach. Just a few hours after the team’s 2024 season finale, things seemed grim within the organization. It appeared as if McDaniel would be saved. But suddenly, things changed.

The Dolphins reversed course and fired McDaniel on a Thursday, four days after their season ended. On a podcast with former Browns quarterback Johnny...

The 2026 NFL Divisional Round is getting set to kick off this weekend with some huge matchups. Many of the teams have already played and defeated their Wild Card opponents.

The top seeds in both conferences are now preparing to play after their first-round bye.

Anything can happen in the 2025 postseason. These playoffs already have the most fourth-quarter lead changes and the most game-winning touchdowns in the final three minutes in a single postseason in NFL history. The next round should provide us with just as much action.

Los Angeles is getting set to face the Chicago Bears in...

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it’s the continued fallout from the resignation of head coach Mike Tomlin, and specifically where we should expect a big turnover on the team’s roster.

Alan breaks it down.
