We are on to Atlanta.
Atlanta defeated their division foe to take control of their division.
TAMPA, Fla. — Kirk Cousins asked Atlanta Falcons coach Raheem Morris if he could speak to the entire team last Tuesday. Morris gave him time Friday and Cousins talked to the players coming off a lackluster loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7.
“This league beats you up and it tests you every day and it just kicks you down and you’ve got to get back...
The New York Giants lost 26-18 in Pittsburgh against the Steelers on Monday Night Football. New York was penalized 11 times in the game for 65 yards; Pittsburgh was penalized five times for 50 yards. Each team’s kicker booted three first-half field goals.
The game opened up in the second half after the Giants’ special teams’ surrendered a punt return touchdown. However, rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. ran all over Pittsburgh for 145 yards on 20 touches with a score. He left the game with a concussion.
Darius Slayton was the Giants’ leading receiver in the game. He finished...
It is still hard to believe how flat the Cowboys were in San Francisco.
The Dallas Cowboys lost to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. In a vacuum, that’s not all that disappointing. The 49ers are a good team, they were playing in front of their home crowd, and they’ve had the Cowboys number over the last few seasons.
But this game wasn’t just another battle with a tough NFC opponent. The 49ers came in banged up missing several key players. The Cowboys are hurting too, but most of their injuries are on the defensive side of the ball....
Washington continues to rise
The Washington Commanders went into their home game with some uncertainty, at least outside the building, about whether Jayden Daniels was playing after suffering a rib injury the previous week. He started the game and played until well past the final second to deliver a miraculous Hail Mary to retake the lead, and seal the victory.
This was billed as the game between the top two picks in this year’s draft, and the two favorites for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Jayden Daniels might have locked that award up with that throw, and he gained...
The Dallas Cowboys continue to fall in power rankings across the NFL.
We are just about halfway through the 2024 NFL season which is crazy to think given that it feels like it barely started. Time flies and all that jazz. By next week Halloween will have passed, candy will have been consumed and the clocks will have fallen back (except for you, Arizona). Things are getting more and more serious across the NFL which makes the fact that the Dallas Cowboys look so moribund all the more concerning.
Contenders across the league are beginning to really separate themselves as...
For all the noise about Eagles’ head coach Nick Sirianni this season, as the team secured their third win in a row coming out of the bye week, fans are starting to soften their “Fire Nick” chants. And while the fans, and media, always have an opinion, the group that truly matters, his players, have never waivered in their support of the head coach.
Saquon Barkley sat down with The Pivot Podcast following his huge game against the Giants, and explained how he came to Philly a little hesitant about working with the head coach who had previously taunted the...
New York had a touchdown called back due to 1 of their 11 penalties. They gave up a punt return for a touchdown, thinking their punter had been run into during the same play. They benched their #1 cornerback after Steelers’ RB Najee Harris hurdled him —the crazy two-point conversion attempt.
And in the 4th quarter, with the game on the line twice, their QB suffered a strip sack fumble and threw a game-ending interception.
Report says team “would have to be blown away” to deal either player
The New York Giants face a choice with the NFL trade deadline a week away. Do they hold on to players who might have value to other teams, perhaps risking losing a couple of free-agents-to-be in the offseason while getting nothing in return? Do they trade away players for future draft assets, perhaps risking the ire of players remaining in the locker room?
Head coach Brian Daboll referred those questions to GM Joe Schoen, which wasn’t helpful since Schoen won’t speak to media until the bye week,...
A good effort against a good team wasted by mistakes
It’s still the same old story. A fight for love and glory. A case of do or die. But for the New York Giants, it’s die, mostly, as time goes by.
Monday night was the type of dispiriting loss the Giants have had too many of this season - another game against a two-loss playoff-contending team that they could have won (there have now been three of them) but lost because of mistakes and failures to rise to the occasion at key moments. Yes, you are what your record says...
Grades for last week were rather rough for the Dallas Cowboys.
The Cowboys did what they do best: lost to the 49ers. This was a whirlwind of an experience, too, taking a halftime lead and completely throwing it away before making things close again but, ultimately, running out of time. Let’s hand out some grades after this up-and-down performance.
This was not the worst game of Dak Prescott’s career - far from it - but it may have been his most disappointing one. Prescott’s two picks were both the result of poor decision-making and both were catastrophic for...
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll benched cornerback Deonte Banks in the second quarter of a 26-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night.
Banks’ benching came just days after Daboll said he would not sit his starting corner due to a lack of effort displayed in Week 7. However, things changed after Banks failed to take down a leaping Najee Harris.
“I think he said it was missed tackles, I guess,’” Banks said, via the New York Post. “He really didn’t tell me what was going on, he just said stay ready I guess… I didn’t really...
