The Giants are 7.5-point underdogs, per FanDuel Sportsbook.
The game will mark Jaxson Dart’s return to the lineup for New York after he missed two games due to a concussion. It will also be Charlie Bullen’s first as the team’s interim defensive coordinator. Bullen took over from the fired Shane...

The in-season trade deadline may have passed by a few weeks ago, but trade rumors are a 24/7, 365 kind of thing around here. If we’ve learned anything about the NFL in the past few years, it’s that teams are more willing to be aggressive and creative than at any point in a long, long time.
With time to mull things over and start to look ahead to 2026, there were more players who popped as potential trade candidates — beyond the list of eight who came up as first glance earlier this month. Here’s a look at another batch...

Player: CB Darius Slay Stock Value: Down Reasoning: Although it helped him avoid an awful day, Darius Slay was a healthy scratch for Sunday’s loss to the Bills. That would probably be a bigger story if the game didn’t go so poorly, but here we are. And now James Pierre is in the concussion protocol, […]

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV had one of the best games of his career, helping the Seahawks defeat the Minnesota Vikings 26-0 on Sunday at Lumen Field. It was Seattle’s first shutout since Week 3 of the 2015 season, the fewest yards they have allowed in a game since that same year, and their first shutout of Minnesota since that 2015 matchup.
Jones, who turned 26 last week, finished the game with a team-high 12 tackles and two interceptions, contributing to a Seahawks defense that recorded five takeaways overall, four interceptions, and one fumble recovery. The Vikings, starting undrafted...

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin has told us to “Keep watching” at least three times this season, insisting problems are resolvable. Last evening’s drubbing at the hands of the Bills proved to be no different, but this felt like the least reassuring “Keep watching” yet. Or perhaps it wasn’t a command so much as a plea […]

Well, that was a football game that happened. The Steelers lost 26-7 to a banged up Buffalo Bills team Sunday afternoon, falling to 6-6 on the season. As always, there are takeaways to be had:
Sunday’s loss was one of the most painful, hard-to-watch games I’ve ever seen from Pittsburgh. And I’ve written about this team for years now and have seen some real stinkers in recent seasons.
The run defense has been the central narrative, with the Steelers giving up a whopping 249 yards — the most they’ve allowed at home since 1975...

Good morning and happy December, New York Giants fans!

The New England Patriots are in a position to enter their Week 14 bye as the No. 1 seed in the AFC. In order to do so, however, they will have to overcome some recent injuries: Monday night’s game against the New York Giants will see them miss their left tackle (Will Campbell), left guard (Jared Wilson), starting defensive tackle (Milton Williams), and All-Pro special teamer (Brenden Schooler). Even against a two-win team, overcoming those losses will not be easy.
And yet, Patriots fans continue feeling good about the team. While confidence did decrease slightly since last week — from...

The Steelers once again collapsed in the second half, the defense giving way to a Bills run game deploying reserves. One of those reserves, Alec Anderson, seemed rather pleased to be Pittsburgh on its home turf. Although he botched the terminology, he spent his post-game interview basking in Buffalo’s achievement. Asked about the Bills’ 249-yard […]

The latest Cleveland Browns coverage from Dawgs By Nature:

49ers’ Brock Purdy gets high marks vs. Browns, including for throws he didn’t attempt (paywall)
“There were also no near-interceptions for Purdy. In fact, he had seven throwaways in windy Cleveland on Sunday, the same amount he had altogether in his four previous games.
One of them came on a third-quarter bootleg that was snuffed out by Garrett. Rather than straining for a completion or trying to outrun the defensive end, Purdy sailed the ball out of bounds. That drew a critique from Garrett, who had one sack Sunday and who has a shot at setting the single-season sack record....
