In March of 2021, the Buffalo Bills signed wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders to one-year, $6 million contract. They had just come off the best season of quarterback Josh Allen’s career, with him ascending to new heights, establishing himself as an MVP candidate, and leading the team into an entirely new era of optimism. The Bills were a juggernaut on offense for the first time since the 1990s.
When asked about the signing, general manager Brandon Beane said something that resonates in my mind now: “You never want to lose your fastball.”
The “fastball” in this case, was Josh Allen throwing...

After a dismal three-week stretch in which they blew a big fourth-quarter lead and got blown out twice, the New York Giants found themselves in the (literally) windy city of Chicago needing to win seven of their final eight games to have a reasonable hope of making the NFL Playoffs at 9-8.
So you’re telling me there’s a chance?
Well, no. Today’s game against the Chicago Bears would mostly be the start of an eight-week referendum on whether the Giants’ coaching staff and players could remedy season-long (three seasons-long, actually) problems that have caused this team to under-perform, and worse...

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — The Pittsburgh Steelers listed six players as inactives for Sunday night’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers — wide receiver Scotty Miller (broken finger), safety Jabrill Peppers (quad), left guard Isaac Seumalo (pectoral), inebacker Cole Holcomb (illness), defensive tackle Brodric Martin-Rhodes (healthy scratch) and defensive lineman Logan Lee (healthy scratch).
Miller, Peppers, Seumalo and Holcomb were ruled out on Friday.
Tight end Connor Heyward (knee), tight end Darnell Washington (foot) and outside linebacker Alex Highsmith (ankle) will all play after missing practice time this week. Safety Chuck Clark (illness) will return after missing last week’s game.

Surprises seem to be the theme of the 2025 NFL season, with one of the league’s top 10 teams seemingly going down every Sunday. That proved to be the case once again in Week 11, with the Miami Dolphins stunning the Buffalo Bills and it nearly happened twice but the Indianapolis Colts won in overtime.
As the NFL games today draw to a close, let’s dive into the NFL Week 11 Power rankings with evaluations on all 32 teams. We’ll have updates on the teams that played on Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football following each game.
The Pittsburgh Steelers released their list of inactive players for their Week 10 Sunday night game against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium. As expected, a few players on the visiting team will miss the Week 10 contest due to injury or illness. After being ruled out for the Chargers game on the Friday […]

On Sunday afternoon, the Detroit Lions hit the road in Maryland to take on the Washington Commanders, looking to put last week’s dud against the Minnesota Vikings fully in the rearview mirror. Some fans were quick to notice that it appeared to be head coach Dan Campbell calling the plays for the offense for the first time this season, which had some confused on why the team elected to shake things up.
During halftime, Campbell spoke to FOX sideline reporter Megan Olivi about the decision.
“It’s just a changeup. We wanted to mix things up,” said Campbell, per Mike Garafolo...

President Donald Trump joined Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma in the broadcast booth in Washington.
The Jaguars scored first in Sunday’s game against the Texans. They went up 3-0, then 10-0, then 17-0, and held a 19-point lead entering the fourth quarter.
That’s when we got hit with a case of Same Old Jags.
Subbing in for C.J. Stroud, who was inactive with a concussion, Davis Mills led three straight touchdown trips, including a 14-play, 93-yard drive to take the lead and complete the comeback. On that final possession, a defensive pass interference gave Houston a chunk gain and the backup quarterback finished the job himself by rushing for the score. It’s pretty much exactly...

The Washington Commanders are hosting the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The Commanders are on a four-game losing streak and have been blown out the last three weeks in a row. They enter Week 10 with a 3-6 record, and the Lions are 5-3 and they’re coming off a 27-24 loss to their division rivals, the Minnesota Vikings.
This game was originally slated to be America’s Game of the Week, but with Jayden Daniels injured again, and the Commanders spiraling, they moved on to an NFC West game between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers. Marcus Mariota will...

The New York Jets certainly had a wild week in the lead up to their game against the Cleveland Browns. At the trade deadline, the Jets sent two of their three best players, Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams, out of town. The third of the trio, Garrett Wilson, was a total nonfactor in the Week 10 game against Cleveland and left early with an injury.
How does a 1-7 team without its top three players perform? Naturally they won.
The Jets beat the Cleveland Browns in Week 10 action 27-10.
Of course it isn’t that massive of a surprise. The...

The Cleveland Browns were in an awkward spot at this juncture of the schedule. With a 2-6-0 record, they are either looking at what it will take to get a playoff berth (a lot), or where in the Top-10 will they be slotted in next year’s college draft.
The New York Jets are in a similar situation to the Browns, as their season is already lost with just a single win coming into Week 10.
Could Cleveland get a victory? Both teams sport great defenses with an offensive group that can’t score or finish drives....

The Miami Dolphins took home the win after defeating the Buffalo Bills 30-13 in Week 10. It was a huge victory for a team seemingly struggling this season, giving the franchise something to build on in the coming weeks. However, there was a bit of a confusing timeout call in the first quarter, as there were 15:00 showing on the clock.
During the postgame press conference, head coach Mike McDaniel revealed why he decided to call that bizarre timeout. He claimed he wanted some extra time to discuss information with the officials after a penalty was called, according to David...
