PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers have a coverman they can count on. It’s only a matter of time before he’s counting the figures on a new contract.

Following Monday night’s Wild Card playoff loss to the Houston Texans, Joey Porter Jr. spoke with his father and was reminded that he’ll receive a hefty payday soon enough.

“He said I made some money last night, but other than that, he said, ‘That’s the way how to end it. You felt how you felt about the Pro Bowls, about the All-Pros, and you really got to put it on TV,'” Porter said...

The Jaguars paid a steep price to reel in former Colorado wide receiver/cornerback and 2024 Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter in last April’s draft. In moving up from the fifth pick to No. 2 overall, where they took Hunter, the Jaguars also sent two other 2025 selections – a second-rounder and a fourth-rounder – as well as their 2026 first-rounder to the Browns.

The trade that led Hunter to Jacksonville was a bold strike from Jaguars rookie general manager James Gladstone, especially considering the team was coming off a 4-13 season. Jacksonville orchestrated a dramatic turnaround during a 13-4...

Former New York Jets second-round pick Elijah Moore will get a prime opportunity to chase a Super Bowl ring.

Per Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team, the Denver Broncos have elevated Elijah Moore to the active squad for Saturday’s Divisional Round tilt against one of his former teams, the Buffalo Bills.

Denver signed Moore to its practice squad in December, one week after he was waived by the Bills. Buffalo shook up its receiving depth chart after waiving Moore, bringing in Brandin Cooks and three-time Super Bowl champion Mecole Hardman.

The #Broncos have elevated WR Elijah Moore from their...

The Pittsburgh Steelers need a new head coach, and if you ask 10 people what the Steelers should look for in their next coach, you’ll probably get 10 different answers. But when you ask two-time Super Bowl champion Bryant McFadden, you’ll get a description of “leader of men,” then you’ll get the name Chris Shula. […]

Plenty of pundits are perplexed by Sunday’s AFC Divisional Round game between the New England Patriots and Houston Texans. One had no trouble picking a Patriots victory.

Kevin Wildes, a vocal Patriots fan, promised a New England win Friday on FS1’s “First Things First.”

“I’m willing to guarantee a Patriots victory,” Wildes declared.

Drake Maye will oppose a buzzsaw defense that dominated Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers in a 30-6 Wild Card Round triumph. DeMeco Ryans’ fiercesome unit didn’t deter Wildes, who still trusts New England’s No. 3 offense.

“I was a little bit nervous about the Texans’ defense,”...

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a long to-do list this offseason. They have to bring in a new head coach, and potentially a whole new coaching staff as well. On the field, they’ll need an answer at quarterback too. Besides the obvious decisions there are some things that need to be figured out in terms of […]

Tom Brady walks down memory lane and remembers the time he punted in a playoff game.

With a Divisional Round playoff game on Saturday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. EST, the Buffalo Bills have announced roster moves connected to the matchup with the Denver Broncos. One Bills Drive has now activated defensive tackle Ed Oliver and wide receiver Curtis Samuel, which paves the way for both to play their first snaps since being placed on Injured Reserve (IR).

Oliver has been injured most of the 2025 season, and makes his return after recovering from surgery to repair a torn biceps that landed him on IR at the end of October. While rehabbing, Oliver endured damage to his...

The New York Jets had by far one of the worst defenses this season, and it affected the entire team’s performance. Late in the season, Aaron Glenn made the decision to fire defensive coordinator Steve Wilks, and Chris was then named the interim coordinator.

To make things worse, the team did not have any interceptions during the season. That has led the Jets to do extensive research for their next coordinator, and they’ve already interviewed a list of candidates that includes Mathieu Araujo, Ephraim Banda, DeMarcus Covington, Daronte Jones, Jim Leonhard, Wink Martindale, Chris Harris, and Jim O’Neil.

All of...

Happy Friday, and I hope yinz are doing well. Unfortunately, the 2025 season was just another in a long list of quick playoff exits. Things were close for a while for the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Houston Texans last Monday, a 7-6 game going into the fourth quarter. But the Texans went on to hand […]
