Tampa Bay Buccaneers

For the division, one of the most critical matchups of the year occurred this week.

The Buccaneers have lost their lead, and this week, they officially lost first place. Carolina beat Tampa Bay 23-20, and it was a really good game by the Panthers.

On the Bucs side, the same issues they have dealt with all season showed up again. The offense struggled to...

“Rookie QB Tyler Shough became the Saints’ first 300-yard passer in two calendar years, and he did it while throwing to Chris Olave and a host of backups at receiver, with New Orleans’ top three running backs also out. Things were a little sluggish early, but after Taysom Hill converted a fake punt, Shough warmed up and the offense started rolling as Olave tore up the Jets time and time again. The wide receiver’s future in New Orleans was once cloudy, but now he projects to being Shough’s go-to target next season. Hill also...

Saints Spotlight: Week 17 vs. Titans

This week, the New Orleans Saints will head Nashville to face the 3-12 Tennessee Titans in Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season—once again, a game with significant draft-position implications.

The player to watch has quietly put together a solid season for the Black and Gold and will be relied upon heavily with Bryan Bresee (knee) likely to miss some time: DT Nathan Shepherd.

After another strong game on Sunday against the Jets, with two total tackles (one solo), two pressures, a stop and a strip sack recovered by Chase Young, Shepherd earned an 81.2 overall grade from Pro Football...
