Why the Eagles’ playoff woes matter for the Saints

Why the Eagles’ playoff woes matter for the Saints

When Kellen Moore last stepped off the field as the offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles, he did so as a Super Bowl champion.

But while he remains where he was that day – in the Caesars Superdome, albeit in different colors – the Eagles are in rather unfamiliar territory, having dropped their first home playoff game in over six years to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

The link to the black and gold is clear: the Saints snagged a huge piece of Philadelphia’s championship-winning puzzle, and fans should feel even more encouraged that he’s at the helm in...

Final State of the NFC South for the 2025 season

Final State of the NFC South for the 2025 season

What a weird season for the NFC South, but in the end, the Carolina Panthers were the division winners. Now, going into the offseason, all four of these teams have tough work to do this offseason, so let’s start the preview.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

This was a very disappointing season for the Buccaneers. Instead of repeating their NFC South dominance of recent years and QB Baker Mayfield proving to be a real franchise QB, the team was a shell of its old self. Mayfield struggled throughout the season, the run game fell apart at times, and the coaching was...

Chris Olave rewarded with All-Pro status following sensational season

Chris Olave rewarded with All-Pro status following sensational season

New Orleans Saints’ wide receiver Chris Olave has been named a member of the 2025 AP NFL All-Pro Second-Team Offense. The recognition comes after the star wideout burst onto the scene as the top pass catcher in New Orleans with career highs across the board in his fourth year in the league. While this marks the first time that he has received the All-Pro nod, it only just solidifies what Saints fans have known and the rest of the NFL is coming to realize- Olave is him.

Just a year ago, Olave played in just eight regular-season games after suffering...
