49ers insider: Brandon Aiyuk has ‘a chance’ to be ready for Week 1

How Ben Johnson’s ‘Stumblebum’ came together

How Ben Johnson’s ‘Stumblebum’ came together

Bears’ fans, it’s okay, we can reflect on the play because Ben Johnson is ours now.

In last year’s Week 16 game, Caleb Williams hit Keenan Allen in the waning seconds of the first half to pull the Chicago Bears within 13 points of the Detroit Lions. Detroit missed a long field goal as the second quarter ended, and the teams went into the locker room with the score 27 to 14.

The Lions got the ball to start the third quarter, and their offense picked up where it left off, moving 43 yards in four plays, with a Chicago...

The Pittsburgh Steelers did a major reset in the offseason to finally make a deep run after a string of mediocre campaigns.

Obviously, their biggest move was signing quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a one-year deal worth $30 million. It’s a high-risk, high-reward gamble for the Steelers, with the 42-year-old Rodgers already on the tail-end of his illustrious career.

While some raised their eyebrows at adding the four-time MVP, many hailed the Steelers’ acquisition of cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith in a trade with the Miami Dolphins. It was a sleek move by Pittsburgh in strengthening its defense,...

Chiefs G Trey Smith Addresses Extension Talks
