The Saints entered 2025 with little in the way of external expectations. The organization also sees the season as a rebuilding one, and as such no major changes are being considered.

By this time one year ago, head coach Dennis Allen had been fired. Longtime general manager Mickey Loomis preferred to avoid such a decision, but owner Gayle Benson acted alone in bringing about a change on the sidelines. In the wake of the Allen dismissal, it was reported Loomis was safe. That remains the case today.

Dolphins team president Tom Garfinkel says the team is interested in a similar deal as the Jaguars have with London where they play home game regularly abroad.

The Dolphins are specifically focused on Spanish speaking markets such as Brazil, Mexico or Spain, due in part to the fact that 66 percent of Miami-Dade County residents reported speaking Spanish at home on the 2024 American Community Survey by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Garfinkel made it clear that they’re not going to dabble with their international marketing plans and instead are planning to go “all-in” on their efforts.

Drake Maye continued to add to his MVP case with Thursday night’s 27-14 rout of the New York Jets, extending the New England Patriots’ winning streak to eight games.

Maye was excellent in his second primetime win of the season, completing his first 11 pass attempts and finishing 25-for-34 with 281 passing yards and a touchdown. Not surprisingly, he heard plenty of “MVP” chants from the crowd at Gillette Stadium.

The Patriots have the best record in the NFL at 9-2, and Maye is a big reason why. The 23-year-old quarterback leads the league in passing yards (2,836) while ranking...

The New England Patriots were back in action on a short week on Thursday Night Football, but that didn’t change anything when it came to the team’s play on the field. The Patriots cruised to a fairly effortless 27-14 victory over the Jets, giving them a 9-2 record heading into Week 12.

It wasn’t the Pats’ best game, but at the end of the day, winning is all that matters, especially on a short week. With another tally being added to the win column, let’s look back at the action and pick out four studs and four duds from this...

Saints owner Gayle Benson recently offered some support for GM Mickey Loomis, despite another disappointing season.

“It may not be what the fans want to hear, but as far as firing Mickey Loomis, that’s ridiculous,” Benson said, via Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com. “[He] does a great job. . . . When I am asked to hold Mickey Loomis accountable, I do. Not every decision works out, they never do. . . . I hold him in high esteem, and I am very pleased with what he has accomplished, acquired and is building.”

Loomis’ future with the Saints has been...

As we’ve been doing for several years now, we’ll break down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opponent each week, telling you what to expect from a scheme and individual standpoint.

The Philadelphia Eagles improved to 7-2 following their 10-7 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. The win secured their position as the top seed in the NFC while extending a trend of strong starts under the current regime.

Philadelphia has now begun four consecutive seasons with a record of 7-2 or better. With their Week 11 matchup against the Detroit Lions approaching, the organization made two roster moves on Wednesday. The Eagles signed defensive end Titus Leo to the practice squad and released defensive back Ambry Thomas, the team announced on X.

We have signed DE Titus...

Leading up to the Week 10 Sunday Night Football matchup against the host Los Angeles Chargers, veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers was playing some sound football within the Pittsburgh Steelers’ scheme. To that point, he was everything the Steelers had expected: a guy who could lead a young offense, get them in the right looks and […]

The Jets lost to the Patriots on Thursday Night Football 27-14.

I think we all need to acknowledge is the quality difference in these teams and the difference in where these teams are in their respective cycles.

You might say those are excuses. I’d say calling the Patriots a better team is hardly excuse-making. It’s fact. This season New England is one of the best teams in the league. The Jets are at the bottom. The Patriots are where the Jets hope to be in a couple of seasons. They have successfully executed a rebuild.

From a Jets perspective, it’s...

Whether Isaac Seumalo plays or not Sunday, it seems the Steelers still intend to use Spencer Anderson in their jumbo package. Last Sunday, despite starting at left guard for the injured Seumalo, he kicked out wide when they brought out the big boys. In his place, they inserted Andrus Peat at left guard. Ray Fittipaldo […]

I was prepped to do some of my usual analysis on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ahead of the Buffalo Bills’ Week 11 game against them this weekend. There’s some good stuff there too.

For instance, Tampa Bay’s points per drive ranks 16th in the league. Pretty mid for a 6-3 team. Even with their recent struggles, the Bills are fifth in the league. On defense, the Buccaneers’ 10th-place spot in points-per-drive-allowed edges out Buffalo’s 16th-place ranking. That’s pretty cool to know, but with a shortened time to write and a little post-loss malaise, I was hoping to find something quirky....
