The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted the eighth quarterback off the board in the 2025 NFL Draft in Ohio State’s Will Howard. Their division rivals, the Cleveland Browns, selected two different quarterbacks ahead of Howard. One college coach was puzzled by that decision. “I don’t see the evaluation of [Dillon] Gabriel over Howard,” one Power 4 defensive […]

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it’s whether the update rule changes for the 2025 season will fix NFL overtime — and a crazy idea about just how to fix them.

Should there be concerns with Rams offensive line depth?
Over the past two seasons, the Los Angeles Rams have been plagued by slow starts. In 2023, injuries to Rob Havenstein, Joe Noteboom, and Alaric Jackson caused disjunction along the offensive line. That lack of cohesiveness resulted in a 3-6 start. Last season, the Rams started 1-4 as Jonah Jackson, Alaric Jackson, and Rob Havenstein all missed time.
Thankfully, the Rams were able to recover from those deficits in each instance. However, the slow starts certainly hurt the Rams come playoff time. Had the Rams avoided a 3-6 start in 2023,...

Hoyland connected on just 15-of-19 field goal attempts last year for Wyoming. He finished 73...

Keeping an eye on the Eagles’ NFC East rivals.
The Dallas Cowboys enter a new era with a new head coach and high expectations for 2025. Dak Prescott will be back healthy and the team will have their sights set on winning the division. Dallas has historically drafted pretty well, which has not translated into any major postseason achievement. Their 2025 draft looks like one of the more impressive groups in the NFL. Will it translate?
This was a classic safe, boring, smart pick by the Cowboys. Tyler Booker will immediately be a quality...

We’re one week away from the Seattle Seahawks releasing their 2025 regular season schedule. The NFL has done a superb job of making something as simple as a schedule release seem like a monumental event, which in turn also means a lot of you are boosting Field Gulls readership.
While we don’t claim any insider knowledge on the Seahawks’ schedule, a little bit of process of elimination can give us a strong indicator of Seattle’s Week...

Bills GM Brandon Beane spoke highly of DE Landon Jackson, who was selected by the team in the third round. Jackson also commented on his experience of getting the call that he was heading to Buffalo.
“(I’m) very excited,” Beane said after getting Jackson. *“High character DNA. A longer athletic dude, a lot of sacks, went against a lot of premium talent in the SEC, and had a lot of production. Obviously, athletically tested very well. This guy is smart, he knows how to rush, he has feel in there. He’s not just an athletic guy. He’s got...
