NFC East
The latest news surrounding the Dallas Cowboys.
Dallas WR2 has been eager to return to the field.
Brandin Cooks has been patiently waiting to return to the field for the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran wide receiver has been on injured reserve for the majority of the 2024 season, sidelined since Week 4 due to an infection in his knee, unable to do anything on the field to try and help avoid the current 3-7 record.
His practice window was opened on...

After another home loss to the Houston Texans, and not just a loss another blowout loss 34-10 at AT&T Stadium, the Dallas Cowboys are now 3-7 with all three of their wins coming on the road.
That means the Cowboys are the only team in all four major North American pro sports leagues without a home win in the year 2024. Even the Philadelphia 76ers and Washington Wizards, who are tied for the NBA’s worst record at 2-11, each have a home win.
With four of their seven remaining games at home, the Cowboys have a decent chance at securing...

Graziano: For now, it’s Tommy DeVito at quarterback. The Giants’ coaching staff decided he’s more likely than Drew Lock to provide a spark for a lagging offense. He’s a little bit more mobile than Lock, and sources I’ve talked to point to the way the team responded when DeVito took over...

This past offseason, New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen misread the room and was left empty-handed when disgruntled quarterback Tyrod Taylor jumped ship to the New York Jets.
Schoen had been convinced Taylor would return despite losing his job due to injury in 2023, as we saw on “Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants.”
With Schoen caught off guard by Taylor’s departure, he went out and signed quarterback Drew Lock to a one-year, $5 million deal.
Lock was viewed as an insurance policy in the event Daniel Jones (knee) was unable to start the season. When it...

New York Giants news for Thursday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll made a bold decision this week, benching quarterback Daniel Jones and elevating Tommy DeVito from QB3 to QB1.
The reasoning, Daboll said, is that DeVito gives the Giants their best chance to win. He reached that conclusion after watching two seasons worth of film over the course of the team’s bye week.
Given that certainty, DeVito should be entrenched as the starting quarterback over the final seven games of the season, right?
Well… Not so fast.
Although Daboll insists DeVito gives the Giants their best chance to win, he won’t commit to the...

The New York Giants will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium with hopes of creating a spark out of the bye week.
That spark will have to come via the Giants’ new QB1, Tommy DeVito, or as most Giants fans know him, “Tommy Cutlets.”
This, of course, comes following the decision by the Giants earlier this week to bench Daniel Jones and start DeVito instead of Drew Lock, who they signed in the offseason for $5 million. He has served as the backup quarterback all season.
The Giants come in well-rested off the bye week...

Being a head coach in the NFL these days is not an easy job. In fact, it’s one where the stress level is very high and the survival rate is very low.
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll is learning that firsthand. In his third season on the job, Daboll’s regular-season record is 17-26-1 (2-8 this season), and his seat is beginning to get hot despite reassurances from ownership.
This week, Daboll had to finally make the decision to bench starting quarterback Daniel Jones, a move that was not a surprise given how the Giants’ season has unfolded.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ secondary has emerged as a defensive powerhouse, transforming from a solid unit to arguably the most formidable in the NFL.
Their recent six-game winning streak underscores a defensive performance that’s been nothing short of exceptional, characterized by precise coverage, strategic playmaking, and impeccable communication.
ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky didn’t mince words when discussing the Eagles’ defensive backs.
On NFL Live, he boldly declared, “I’m gonna make two comments about Philadelphia’s defense. Number one, I think this is the best secondary in football right now. And then I’ll say Quinyon Mitchell is probably the favorite for Defensive Rookie...

The Philadelphia Eagles have thus far rebounded nicely from their disastrous finish last season, and with an 8-2 record, they’re arguably the second-best team in the NFC behind the Detroit Lions.
In Week 12, the Eagles will travel to play the Los Angeles Rams before they visit the Baltimore Ravens in a Week 13 showdown.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was recently limited in practice because of an ankle injury, but he said it’s all part of a plan.
“Hurts told reporters it’s part of a ‘mini-program’ to be healthy for the stretch run and he’ll fully practice the next...
