NOVEMBER 22: When speaking on the situation earlier this week, Caserio said during an appearance on the Payne & Pendergrast radio show that there is still no firm timeline for Mixon’s return. In the ongoing absence of any clarity in this case, it remains to be seen if Mixon will be able to suit up at any point down the stretch.

NOVEMBER 20: Following news from earlier today that Joe Mixon was set to miss the entire 2025 campaign, the running back and his agent are pushing back. Shortly after NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Mixon’s foot injury would...

The Buffalo Bills fell to 7-4 on the season after Thursday night’s loss to the Houston Texans. Buffalo’s offensive line was overwhelmed by the Texans’ relentless pass rush, as Josh Allen was sacked eight times and pressured constantly.

Despite Houston’s dominant performance, Buffalo nearly pulled off a comeback with a long drive late in the fourth quarter. However, the Bills ultimately came up short against the Texans, losing 23-19.

Allen shook off the disheartening prime time defeat and headed to Laramie, Wyoming. On Saturday, the reigning MVP’s alma mater held a ceremony to retire his number 17 jersey. Allen and...

We’re on the eve of the first of this year’s Border Battles against the Green Bay Packers, so let’s take a quick look at the results of our SB Nation Reacts questions for this week about our Minnesota Vikings.

As always, our first question this week was about whether or not our readers feel that the purple are moving in the right direction. I expected a drop-off this week, and while I was right in that regard, I’m pleasantly surprised that the drop wasn’t quite as large as I was expecting it to be.

Of our respondents, 32% feel that...

When the Baltimore Ravens take the field against the New York Jets in Week 12, Brandon Stephens will have his first chance to play against John Harbaugh after spending nearly a half-decade as a stalwart of his defense.

Talking to reporting on Friday about this free agency reversal, Harbaugh noted that while he obviously hopes the Ravens secure another win in their continued pursuit of the playoffs, he’s proud of Stephens for growing into his position in Charm City and for cashing in with the Jets earlier this year.

“There really is. There really, really is. It is something that...

The Falcons will be notably shorthanded on defense for the foreseeable future. Billy Bowman Jr.‘s Achilles injury will leave him sidelined over at least the next four games.

Bowman went down during a walk-through yesterday morning. It was already known the fourth-round rookie would miss Week 12, but head coach Raheem Morris‘ comments suggested a long-term absence would be in store. The Falcons placed Bowman on injured reserve today, a which move certainly points in that direction.

A hamstring injury led to earlier missed time in Bowman’s case but when on the field...

In an interesting series of events, the Jacksonville Jaguars received a bit of unexpected news on Saturday when the league released its weekly Accountability Report, which lists all fines levied each week for all NFL matchups. Only one fine was listed from the Los Angeles Chargers matchup to the Jaguars, and it wasn’t applied to a Jacksonville player. Chargers Linebacker Del’Shawn Phillips was fined $11,160 for his fourth-quarter facemask on Jacksonville running back LeQuint Allen, during the Jaguars’ fourth-and-one conversion with under three minutes remaining in the game.

On a more surprising note, Jaguars rookie undrafted free agent defensive end...

In the latest fire-filled episode of Two Old Bloggers on Vikings 1st & SKOL, Darren Campbell and Dave Stefano don’t hold back on why Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s massive 2025 offseason spending spree — Jonathan Allen, Javon Hargrave, Will Fries, Ryan Kelly and more — looks like a bust through ten games (or at least not what was expected), why benching J.J. McCarthy for Max Brosmer is a terrible idea, and how the suddenly healthy offensive line and a waking-up Dallas Turner give Minnesota faint hope. Then Drew Bunting storms in for the always-electric “Inside The Numbers” preview of the 130th Border...

With our Miami Dolphins on their bye week this week, I asked the following question;

What is your biggest surprise of the season as it applies to your Miami Dolphins to this point? This can be a good or happy surprise, or an unwelcome surprise. Pretty much anything that you did not see coming before this mostly ugly season began.

Below are some of your thoughts and answers-

Luvs2drnk gave us both sides of the coin.

I’ll give a good and bad surprise.

Good: McD getting play calls in quicker giving Tua more time to actually...

Pittsburgh Steelers second-year linebacker Payton Wilson is on pace to break the Steelers’ single-season tackles record. Wilson’s 8.4 tackles per game would total 142.8, which would top James Farrior’s 141 from 2003.

Wilson got off to a slow start this season, but he’s bounced back in a major way. He had a standout performance in the Steelers’ Week 9 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Wilson picked off one pass and tipped another into Jack Sawyer’s embrace during the Steelers’ upset over the Colts.

Wilson also had a game-high 14 stops on the day, playing a large part in tracking down...

The time has come. The time is now.

This Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings will battle the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. The Week 12 matchup holds the fate of the 2025 Minnesota Vikings season. At 4-6, there is little room for error if the Vikings want to have a chance of vying for a playoff spot. A win against the Green Bay Packers would go a long way, and improve the Vikings’ division record to 3-1.

The only thing that is keeping Minnesota afloat in the playoff rankings is that divisional record, which could have a tremendous impact...
