Pro Football Rumors
The Seattle Seahawks didn’t just win on Thursday night — they showed resilience.
Seattle’s 38–37 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Rams was emotional, chaotic, and ultimately revealing. These are the kinds of games that test more than talent. They test belief, composure, and whether a team can respond when momentum constantly shifts.
On tonight’s episode of Seahawks Aftermath, going live at 7pm PT, I’ll be joined by Field Gulls managing editor Mookie Alexander to break down one of the most intense wins of the season and what it says about this Seahawks team as the playoff picture comes into...

Matthew Stafford’s wife, Kelly, took aim at the NFL refs via Instagram after the Los Angeles Rams fell to the Seattle Seahawks in overtime on ‘Thursday Night Football.’
There was a lot at stake in Thursday’s clash between Matthew Stafford’s Rams and Sam Darnold’s Seahawks. The winner would take sole possession of first place in the NFC with two weeks to go. Seattle won a thriller in overtime, with Sam Darnold tossing the game-winning two-point conversion to Eric Saubert.
Unfortunately, the NFL officials once again took over the game with multiple head-scratching calls. And don’t say that [Rams wide receiver...
A shoulder injury held Raiders quarterback Geno Smith out in Week 15, but he’s making a quick return. Head coach Pete Carroll announced that Smith will start against the Texans on Sunday (via Levi Edwards of Raiders.com). Smith is expected to remain the Raiders’ starter for the rest of the season.
Looking to snap a seven-game losing streak, the Raiders turned to veteran signal-caller Kenny Pickett in Philadelphia last Sunday. It couldn’t have gone much worse. Pickett completed 15 of 25 passes for a minuscule 64 yards in a 31-0 defeat. The Eagles intercepted the former first-round pick once and...

Canal Street Chronicles
When the Seattle Seahawks beat the Indianapolis Colts, I said the game was largely lacking in big action moments. There was only one touchdown scored, one turnover on the Colts’ final play, and not a lot of explosive highlights on offense or defense to talk about.
The Los Angeles Rams game made up for that and then some.
Thursday night’s classic, stunning win to put the Seahawks in the driver’s seat for the NFC West and the No. 1 seed was so action-packed that I have no choice but to split Enemy Reaction into two parts. Part 1 is up...

The Los Angeles Rams were on their way to a huge road win over the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. But Seattle came storming back. The Seahawks overcame a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter to tie the game before winning in overtime.
Seattle clinched a postseason berth and took a one-game lead in the NFC West with the 38-37 victory. While both teams are playoff bound, the Rams’ wild collapse on Thursday night highlighted two concerning trends for LA.
Mina Kimes pointed to “the special teams discrepancy” between Seattle and Los Angeles as a significant contributor in the...

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that the Bears plan to activate LB Tremaine Edmunds from injured reserve before Week 16’s game against the Packers.
This is a big matchup for both teams, so the Bears are clearly happy to get one of their most productive defensive players back in the lineup.
Edmunds, 27, was drafted by the Bills in the first round out of Virginia Tech in 2018. He signed a four-year, $12.659 million dollar rookie deal with the Bills following the 2018 NFL Draft that included a $7.286 million dollar signing bonus.
Buffalo exercised the fifth-year option for Edmunds...
NFL Trade Rumors
Nick Wright reveals who is on Upset Alert in Week 16.
This week’s edition of the PFR mailbag covers questions relating to Tua Tagovailoa‘s future in Miami, the chances of playoff-bound coaches being fired, George Pickens‘ contract outlook and the Browns’ quarterback setup.
Rick asks:
Is this the end of Tua time in Miami? He padded his stats at the end of [Monday] night’s game, but that was bizarre to watch. As Aikman said repeatedly, there was zero urgency even though the team was playing for the postseason. Could something else be going on to lead to such an odd performance on the big stage?
This question came amidst the report...

The NFL season is an evolving state of affairs, and week 16 finds your 10-4 Chicago Bears back atop the NFC North and as the #2 seed in the NFC after a dominating performance against the Browns coupled with a Packers loss. This week, a rematch against the Micah-less Packers on home turf to determine, most likely for the remainder of the season, who is the NFC North champ.
In this weekly series, I’ll be featuring one player from each team on each side of the ball who I believe to be integral to their respective team’s success. It’s not...
