High expectations surrounded DK Metcalf after the Pittsburgh Steelers traded a second-round pick for him and signed him to a big five-year contract extension. Expectations that haven’t been met through the first 12 games of his Steelers tenure. After trading George Pickens many wanted the Steelers to bring in another receiver to help take some […]

The Carolina Panthers pulled off one of the more surprising results of Week 13, knocking off the Los Angeles Rams 31-28. However, the Panthers also suffered an unfortunate injury.

Rookie Lathan Ransom injured his thumb against the Rams, via Joe Person of The Athletic. Carolina is still figuring out exactly how much time he will miss and what their next procedure is.

The ambiguity of Ransom’s injury makes it hard to tell how serious it is. Still, the team is at least concerned about the status of their safety. Ransom will get the Week 14 bye to rest his thumb....

The Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in a rough spot as the home stretch of the season approaches. They’re 6-6, having lost their last two games. Their Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills was particularly tough to watch. The Steelers had the lead at halftime and still ended up getting blown out. While that performance […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves on the outside of the playoff picture, looking in following Sunday’s loss to the Buffalo Bills, 26-7. They are 6-6 and technically tied with the Baltimore Ravens atop the AFC North. Baltimore currently holds the tiebreaker due to a better divisional record.

However, the division rivals still play twice in the final five weeks, including this weekend in Baltimore.

But the noise surrounding Steelers’ head coach Mike Tomlin continues to grow. During Sunday’s blowout loss to the Bills, ‘fire Mike Tomlin’ chants could be heard from the raucous Steelers crowd.

On Monday, Pittsburgh’s rookie linebacker,...

The Cleveland Browns are unsurprisingly a mess. Despite having one of the best defenses in football, led by Myles Garrett in a pursuit for the single-season sack record, the Browns’ offense continues to let them down. After rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders’ historical debut victory in Week 12 vs. the Las Vegas Raiders, Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers brought the feel-good story back down to earth.

Scoring just eight points in the loss, the Browns relied heavily on their rushing attack to the tune of 31 attempts. The reason, other than the poor weather conditions, was the lack of...

Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell said on Monday that QB J.J. McCarthy is symptom-free and is expected to clear the concussion protocol this week, per Kevin Seifert.

That puts him in line to resume his spot in the starting lineup in Week 14 when the Vikings play the Commanders, according to O’Connell.

Vikings UDFA QB Max Brosmer got his first career start on Sunday against the Vikings, and threw four interceptions in a shutout loss for Minnesota.

Brosmer had impressed behind the scenes and a better performance might have made things interesting for the Vikings. Instead, they’ll keep trying to get...

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost their second straight game and fell to 6-6 after an embarrassing 26-7 loss at Acrisure Stadium to the Buffalo Bills. Not much went right for the Steelers Sunday, and that’s reflected in Pro Football Focus’ Week 13 grades. However, there were at least a few bright spots, including CB Asante Samuel […]

It turned out to be quite a day for the Carolina Panthers and Bryce Young, who led his team to a stunning upset. And it changed the running back room, as Rico Dowdle fantasy managers won’t love Dave Canales’ review of Chuba Hubbard.

The Carolina Panthers forced three Matthew Stafford turnovers and beat the Los Angeles Rams 31-28 on Sunday, snapping the Rams’ six-game winning streak.

And Hubbard had a superb game, said Canales, according to a post on X by Dave Newton.

‘Dave Canales says RB Chuba Hubbard looked “amazing” on Sunday in the Panthers’ upset over the Rams.”...

Just two weeks ago, the Cowboys came out of their bye and notched an emotional win over the Raiders on the road. That improved their record to 4-5-1 and improved their odds of reaching the playoffs to a meager 10%. Since then, they’ve ripped off wins against the last two Super Bowl champions in the span of just five days, and their chance to make the playoffs has more than doubled, sitting at 23% according to The Athletic’s playoff simulator.

To quote Kevin Garnett, anything is possible!

Looking at a winning record for the first time all season, Dallas has...

Maliek Collins exited the Browns’ loss yesterday. The veteran defensive tackle will not return, marking an end to his strong 2025 season.

Collins was carted off the field Sunday, and the team quickly ruled out a return. The 30-year-old was listed with a knee injury at the time, and he had a brace on his right leg after the game (h/t Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal).

When speaking to the media today, head coach Kevin Stefanski announced Collins has a quad injury which will require season-ending surgery. The news brings an end to what had been a...

The Minnesota Vikings didn’t just get shut out by the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13, they watched one of their most important offensive pieces walk to the locker room early. Veteran running back Aaron Jones exited after landing hard on his shoulder while fighting for extra yardage in the third quarter, capping a brutal afternoon in which he managed only three rushing yards on six carries and 22 receiving yards before the injury.

For an offense that has scored a combined six points over its last two games and already dropped four straight to fall to 4-8, any uncertainty around...
