Las Vegas Raiders place star tight end on IR prior to game vs. Giants

The New York Giants game against the Las Vegas Raiders just got a lot easier.

The Raiders placed star tight end Brock Bowers on the injured reserve Wednesday, ending his season. Bowers is, easily, the Raiders’ most dangerous weapon on offense and one of the best receiving weapons at any position in the NFL.

The second year tight end set the record for receptions by a rookie in 2025 with 112, breaking Puka Nacua’s record of 105 set in 2024. He also set the record for receiving yards by a tight end with 1,194 on the season, breaking the previous...

How the Minnesota Vikings stifled the NY Giants’ passing attack

How the Minnesota Vikings stifled the NY Giants’ passing attack

The New York Giants lost their ninth straight game on Sunday as the Minnesota Vikings came into MetLife Stadium and secured a 16–13 vicitory.

Wanted: Receivers for the NY Giants who can actually catch the ball

Wanted: Receivers for the NY Giants who can actually catch the ball

The No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft has been a quarterback in nine of the past 11 years. As of this writing, the New York Giants are still in position to have the No. 1 pick in 2026. Do they need a quarterback, though?

A surprising number of people on X think the Giants should stay put if they get the No. 1 pick, trade Jaxson Dart, and draft Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza rather than trading down. You can make the case considering that after winning two of his first three starts Dart hasn’t won another, that the...
