The New York Giants get to finish off Week 13 by traveling to Foxboro, Mass. to take on the New England Patriots on Monday night

These two teams are familiar foes with just about as much history as two teams in different conferences can have. Of course, these aren’t the Eli Manning Giants, nor do they face the Tom Brady Patriots. And at face value, it would look like the 2-10 Giants and 10-2 Patriots are two teams heading in different directions.

However, the Giants are “only” 7.5-point underdogs on the road. That’s likely a reaction to the fact that...

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. This year, Jonathan Heitritter and I will cover the opposing team’s defense. I will focus on the scheme, and Jonathan will analyze the players. Today, we are […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost last Sunday, but their playoff hopes got a boost Thursday night when the Baltimore Ravens were upset by the Cincinnati Bengals. That opens the door for the Steelers to potentially take the division lead again. However, even if they do that, former NFL quarterback Phil Simms doesn’t believe they’ll make any […]

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. The once historic AFC North has been drained of talent, upside, excitement, and dominance in quick fashion. The division has been a mess most of the year, with the one constant being the struggles of the Cleveland Browns.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have led the division for most of the 2025 NFL season, but few gave them a ton of hope due to an aging, struggling defense and limitations on offense. The Baltimore Ravens seemed ripe to rip away the AFC North crown once Lamar Jackson returned from injury, but he hasn’t regained his MVP...

After a deflating loss to the Chicago Bears last week, the Steelers will be hosting Josh Allen and co. in Pittsburgh this Sunday.

The 7-4 Bills aren’t faring much better than the 6-5 Steelers this year, with the New England Patriots having taken over as the top team in the AFC East.

The narrative around Buffalo is that it’s still a dangerous team thanks to the talents of Josh Allen and a potent run game. But it’s a flawed team like the rest of the AFC’s lineup, and might just be an easier matchup than many Steeler fans realize.

Let’s...

The Steelers know Broderick Jones won’t play on Sunday. But they also won’t say whether Calvin Anderson or Andrus Peat will replace him. Although Anderson has served as the swing tackle all season, Peat is far more experienced. The latter was an in-season addition, and they have used him at guard, but he has ample […]

No intro necessary. Let’s just get into the grades for the Detroit Lions’ loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving.

Quarterback: B+

I was not prepared for a shootout between the two teams, but Jared Goff was. On a day of solid quarterbacking from both teams, Goff was matching Jordan Love with big throw after big throw. And after losing his favorite target in the first quarter, Goff didn’t blink. He was patient with his reads, delivered mostly accurate balls, and did it while taking a few vicious hits. Hell, he even had the second-longest run of his...

Dak Prescott is making a push in the race for NFL MVP with a three-game hot streak the fans have been waiting to see.

We fans have been able to watch Prescott and the Cowboys take down a lowly Las Vegas Raiders team, which most outside of Cowboys’ Nation took as a battle between NFL bottom-feeders.

Then in a matter of four days, the Cowboys knocked off both of last year’s Super Bowl teams, the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.

Prescott has forced the league to take his season seriously.

A Run That Changed the Tone of the...

If we flash back almost two months ago, the Cleveland Browns were struggling mightily with no sense of direction at the quarterback position and the Cincinnati Bengals were looking for any sign of hope for the most important position, with Joe Burrow hurt and Jake Browning playing poorly. The Browns had already replaced veteran starter Joe Flacco with rookie Dillon Gabriel, with many wondering what Flacco’s future would hold.

The idea that Cleveland could receive any compensation for a quarterback that seemed to get very little interest in NFL free agency was received with skepticism, but [Cincinnati came calling for...

The Baltimore Ravens are in deep, deep trouble. With Lamar Jackson returning from nearly a month-long absence due to injury, there was hope that Baltimore could regain control of the AFC North. It did seem like the Ravens were starting to get it together, stringing wins against the Dolphins, Vikings, Jets, and Browns.

However, hiding under those wins was a worrying trend for the team. And on Thanksgiving, the Ravens’ worst qualities came back to haunt them. Against a returning Joe Burrow, the Ravens stood no chance against the Cincinnati Bengals. They lost 32-14 in an embarrassing contest that saw...

Waking up the morning after a Ravens loss is never fun. It’s even worse when that loss comes against a divisional opponent, and perhaps worse still when it is the result of five turnovers. That is simply no way to win a football game. With the 32-14 loss to the Bengals, the Ravens drop to 6-6 and second place in the AFC North.

Baltimore’s defense stood firm for much of Thursday night’s game, but they were on the field far too long in the first half and it showed in the second. The offense turned the ball over five times...

As we’ve been doing for many years now, we break down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opponent each week, telling you what to expect from a scheme and individual player standpoint. Like last year, Josh Carney and I will cover the opposing team’s offense. I will focus on the scheme, Josh on the players. Today, our scouting […]
