How serious is Aaron Rodgersā wrist injury? Aaron Rodgers exited the Steelersā victory over the Bengals with a wrist injury, and he was due to undergo further evaluation. We should know relatively soon what that evaluation reveals, but until we do, his status is a mystery. While he should certainly return this season even under [ā¦]

The Detroit Lions went down 16-9 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football at Lincoln Financial Field, with the game ultimately decided by a controversial defensive pass interference (DPI) call on cornerback Rock Ya-Sin in the final two minutes.
In the gameās final 1:51, Philadelphia faced third-and-8 from its own 38-yard line. Detroit defenders, including Ya-Sin, had the Eagles covered and were in position to force a punt, allowing the Lions to execute a late-game drive with a timeout in hand. Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts dropped back and targeted wide receiver A.J. Brown along the sideline. The pass sailed...

In a high-stakes game for the Kansas City Chiefs, they lost 22-19 to the Denver Broncos on Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High. The defeat dealt a severe blow to the Chiefsā hopes of sustaining their streak of nine consecutive AFC West titles and 10 straight playoff appearances, as they now sit at 5-5 on the season. Meanwhile, Denver improved to 9-2, taking a healthy 3.5-game lead over Kansas City in the division with a head-to-head tiebreaker advantage.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes finished the game with 276 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception, but the offense couldnāt secure the...

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold had another nightmare performance against the Los Angeles Rams, tying his career high with four interceptions in a 21-19 loss. Given his struggles with the Minnesota Vikings in the playoffs against the Rams just 10 months ago, itās about as bad a follow-up outing as he couldāve possibly had.
Darnold has had an otherwise very impressive first season with the Seahawks, but the turnovers have piled up in recent weeks to the tune of 10 over the last four games. While many of those turnovers were with comfortable leads and not even necessarily his fault,...

Thereās no finality in Act 1 of a play. But at least the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Ramsā annual pageant now has the skeleton of a plot, complete with protagonists, villains and NPCs.
Soon weāll know which genre the 2025 edition is. Itās usually a tragicomedy, you know this, we know this, and Act 1 did nothing to dispel such a notion. So with the sour result still on my lips, Iāll take solace in knowing the redemption arcs are set up. The revenge motives are laid bare for a month-long intermission before Act 2. If weāre lucky, we...

There's a new name at the top of the NFL MVP oddsboard, while a two-time winner has fallen. Here's the latest.
The New York Jets saw their modest two game winning streak halted last Thursday when they were dismantled by a clearly superior New England Patriots team, 27 ā 14. The Jets put together an impressive opening drive to take an early 7 ā 0 lead. After that it was all Patriots. By midway through the second quarter the Patriots were leading 14 ā 7. The Jets kept the game reasonably within reach thereafter, but they never really threatened to overtake the Patriots at any point in the second half. The Patriots did what they had to do to complete a...

They now head into their much-needed BYE week and should get several key contributors back from injury, including reigning Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain II. They will be getting healthy at the right time and will look to finish the season strong. However, they will face competition for...
Mile High Report
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff couldnāt get anything going on Sunday as they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, 16-9, in a defense-oriented affair at Lincoln Financial Field.
Goff found wide receiver Jameson Williams for a 40-yard touchdown in the second quarter. That, however, would be their only touchdown of the game. Goff went 14-of-37 for 255 yards. He was intercepted once and sacked twice.
The Lions failed to convert on each of their five fourth-down tries, with the 31-year-old Goff, whoās usually endowed with poise, uncharacteristically struggling in tight plays.
ESPNās Tim MacManus pointed out that the four-time Pro Bowler...

Coming off their bye week, the Kansas City Chiefs were supposed to look refreshed, refined, and ready to reclaim control of the AFC West. Instead, they walked into Mile High and played like a team still stuck in neutral. The result was a crushing 22-19 road loss to the Denver Broncos. Wil Lutz sealed it with a 35-yard field goal as time expired.
The Chiefsā second straight defeat dropped them to 5-5. Itās their worst record this late in a season since Patrick Mahomes took over as the starting quarterback. Kansas Cityās offense sputtered for much of...
