The Steelers’ running back tandem of Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell quietly put up an impressive season, but the Texans heard. Neither rushed for 1,000 yards, but both recorded 1,000 yards from scrimmage and found the end zone. Pittsburgh exploits both of them in the offense, but either one can carry the load if necessary.

At first glance, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh losing his job after an 18-year tenure looked like a slap in the face to the successful coach. Now, it looks like a slap to his bank account.
On March 28, 2025, Harbaugh signed a three-year contract extension with the Ravens that ran through the 2028 season.

The Chicago Bears’ stunning Wild Card comeback against the Green Bay Packers did more than extend their season, it further cemented the growing connection between quarterback Caleb Williams and rookie tight end Colston Loveland.
After the 31-27 win, Williams offered his strongest public praise yet of Loveland, framing it as validation of the Bears’ controversial draft-night decision to select the tight end with the No. 10 overall pick. Sitting in context of months of outside skepticism, during the post-game press conference, Williams made it clear the organization never doubted the choice.
“We got a home run with him,” said Caleb...

Dallas’ season went off the rails early as Jerry Jones chose to trade Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers rather than pay the star pass rusher. The team never recovered from the move. And Cowboys fans were reminded of the blunder when the 2025 All-Pro selections were announced on Saturday.
Parsons earned first-team All-Pro honors in his debut season with Green Bay. However, the Cowboys...

The Green Bay Packers saw their season crumble at Soldier Field on Saturday night, surrendering an 18-point lead to fall 31-27 to the Chicago Bears. While Caleb Williams’ fourth-quarter heroics stole the headlines, the math tells a more painful story for the Cheesehead faithful. The Packers lost by four points. Their kicker, Brandon McManus, left seven points on the field.
It was a nightmare performance for the veteran specialist. McManus missed two field goals and botched an extra point, mistakes that ultimately doomed Green Bay in a tight contest. In a playoff atmosphere where every yard is a struggle, handing...
