New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones gave what is likely his final press conference as a member of Big Blue on Thursday.

The former No. 6 overall selection in the 2019 NFL draft was uncharacteristically emotional in his delivery. He thanked the franchise and fans and accepted accountability for his role in the team’s recent failures.

“Football’s a team game, certainly. But the quarterback is a big piece of that, and I understand that. For my part and my piece of it, I take responsibility,” said Jones, who is now at the bottom of the Giants’ depth chart.

His “benching”...

The focus throughout the rest of this season has to be on 2025 and beyond.

Change has been a constant for the 2024 Dallas Cowboys. Poor player performance and numerous injuries on both sides of the ball have caused Dallas to mix things up on a consistent basis this season.

As the Cowboys play out their final seven games of the regular season, more changes are to be expected as Dallas shifts their focus from winning this year to the future. With that in mind, we take a look at two players the Cowboys should use more moving forward.

Kliff Kingsbury and Joe Whitt Jr speak to the media before practice

Commanders defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. met with the media on Thursday to discuss the Washington defense and the upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Opening Statement:

”So, I know we’ve had two games since I last been up here. I’m just going to discuss the Philly game and if you want to talk about Pittsburgh, we will.

The Philly game, it’s disappointing that we played well, defensively, for 53 minutes — but it’s a 60-minute game. And so, we talk about finishing [in] winning...

Nabers is focused on scoring touchdowns and doing his part over the final seven weeks of the season.

Malik Nabers was next on the list of current New York Giants to discuss the team’s quarterback change, as everyone wants to know what the team’s star wide receiver and first-round pick had to say about the decision.

For the first time since the announcement, Nabers voiced his thoughts while speaking to the media. However, even though a new quarterback will be under center, Nabers seems focused on scoring touchdowns and helping his team succeed over the final seven weeks of the...

Kliff Kingsbury and Joe Whitt Jr speak to the media before practice

Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury met with the media on Thursday to discuss Washington’s offense and the upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys.

On what has prevented the offense from executing and on how to improve:

“In what regard?

Obviously, the Thursday night game was not our best, but when you just overall execution, you say? Yeah, I think there’s a lot of things played [into that]. Two really good defenses first off, and then, just having the ability to be on the practice field...

Your open thread for Thursday Night Football

Week 12 will kick off with a game between AFC North rivals as the Cleveland Browns host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football.

These are two teams headed in opposite directions, as the Steelers have taken control of the division with an 8-2 record behind Russell Wilson and a fantastic defense.

The Browns, meanwhile, are 2-8 on the season, and are coming off of a bad 35-14 loss to the New Orleans Saints. They’re also a team searching for long term answers at the quarterback position as they grapple with expensive bust...

Cowboys fans may not have be getting much from their own team, but there’s plenty to root for from others.

Not much went the Cowboys' way last week. Their own game aside, few of the other results helped improve Dallas’ position for the 2025 NFL Draft. Hopefully, the Week 12 games offer more assistance to our long-sighted goal.

There were a few close calls from last week’s rooting guide. The Jets and Bears both lost by only one point to the Colts and Packers, respectively. A win by New York would’ve put them slightly above the Cowboys in winning percentage,...
