Should Jalen Ramsey remain at safety for the Steelers? The Steelers have moved Jalen Ramsey to safety for the past two games, but they’re making no commitment to a permanent move. While it’s potentially on the table, there is no reason to rush the decision now. So far this year, he has played every position […]

The Chicago Bears haven’t been three games over .500 since 2020, when they last made the postseason. That year, they went (8-8) and made the playoffs in a down NFC, but this season feels like they’ll need to get to 10 or maybe even 11 wins to snag a wildcard spot. Thus far, the NFC has...

The Pittsburgh Steelers have spent the 2025 season fighting to find their identity. After a chaotic offseason headlined by the George Pickens trade and the blockbuster acquisition of Aaron Rodgers, the franchise now sits at a crossroads. Their defense has rediscovered its swagger, but their offense remains plagued by inconsistency and injuries. Pittsburgh is still very much in the AFC playoff hunt. However, if they want to turn potential into production, they must act fast. Note that the trade deadline has come and gone. If the Steelers want to make a serious run, they need to sign, hold your drink,...

The Buffalo Bills didn’t make a splashy move at the 2025 NFL trade deadline, and that might come back to bite them if they don’t address one of the roster’s most obvious weaknesses: the interior defensive line. After standing pat, general manager Brandon Beane needs to strike on the open market, and the best move is clear. The Bills should sign defensive tackle Deshawn Williams, a proven interior disruptor who’s still available and would immediately upgrade their defensive front.

The deadline came and went without Buffalo fixing the issue that has haunted them all season, a lack of consistent pressure...

It’s been impossible to do any sort of meaningful statistical analysis of the Minnesota Vikings this season because the only thing that’s been consistent about them this season has been their inconsistency. There is a stat for that of course, brought to you by those who compile DVOA stats and it’s called variance. It tracks the week-to-week variance in a team’s Total DVOA.

Consistently Inconsistent

After nine weeks and eight games, the Vikings have the second-highest variance in the league at 30.1%, 0.1% lower than the league leading Commanders. The Vikings have shown high variance all season. This shows...

The Washington Commanders entered the 2025 season with high expectations after a surprising 12-5 playoff run the year before. Halfway through this campaign, though, those hopes have evaporated. A mix of injuries, inconsistency, and front-office indecision has left the Commanders in disarray. They currently sit near the bottom of the NFC standings. This year has just been defined by frustration and regression.

Instead of building on their success, Washington’s 2025 season has exposed fundamental flaws. In addition, the front office’s inaction at the NFL trade deadline has only amplified them. If general manager Adam Peters wants to restore momentum, he’ll...

Fresh off of a huge Week 9 win against the Indianapolis Colts, the Pittsburgh Steelers have no time to enjoy the win as they have to turn right around and make a difficult road trip to the West Coast to take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football. Making that trek out to […]

The Philadelphia Eagles won back-to-back games before entering their Week 9 bye. Philadelphia rebounded from a two-game skid that had fans and analysts panicking about the defending Super Bowl champs. While the Eagles struggled at times in the first half of the season, they should once again be a powerhouse after resting and reloading over the break.

GM Howie Roseman swung several high-profile deals aimed at improving the Eagles’ disappointing defense. But the team will also benefit from Nolan Smith’s return from injury. Smith landed on IR following Week 3’s win over the Los Angeles Rams.

The former first-round pick...

For the Dallas Cowboys, the 2025 season has been anything but predictable. What began with the shocking offseason trade of Micah Parsons has spiraled into a turbulent campaign. After a demoralizing 27–17 home loss to the Arizona Cardinals, team owner Jerry Jones made yet another bold move. He swung for a star in an effort to save the season. By acquiring All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, the Cowboys don’t seem to be giving up on contention just yet.

The move was monumental but ultimately incomplete. Sure, Williams fortifies the middle of Dallas’ defense. However, the absence of a dominant edge...

The Titans had a couple different paths they could have followed in the runup to the trade deadline. Tied with the Saints for the worst record in the NFL, a fire sale of any desirable assets could have taken place. While they let teams know that every player on the roster but two was open for business, they ended up playing a bit of hardball, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

The two players off the table, of course, were rookie No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward and star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi faces an uphill...

Micah Parsons took a moment to offer his condolences for former Cowboys teammate Marshawn Kneeland, who died Thursday at 24.

Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is currently struggling with a 3-5 record at North Carolina, which may lead him to consider a return to the NFL.

NFL writer Gary Myers, who covered the league for various outlets, including The Dallas Morning News and New York Daily News, and authored a book on Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, believes Belichick would be interested in the Giants’ head coaching job.

“I think Belichick would take the job in a second,” Myers said when Ed Valentine asked him on Wednesday if Belichick would take the Giants head coaching job during...
