Notes, musings, and observations from the New England Patriots 34-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

In years past, a loss like yesterday’s against the Miami Dolphins would leave a taste in my mouth so sour that no amount of cranberry sauce or pecan pie could wash it out. When your team gets so thoroughly bullied like that, it’s easy to feel lousy and let it affect you way more than it should.

But you know what? It’s Thanksgiving week. The best week of the year. And this season is a wash anyway. So no time to dwell on the negative....

What do we make of the 49ers after Week 12? Let’s talk through what we saw

The San Francisco 49ers entered Sunday with a slight chance at a victory over the Green Bay Packers. They would have needed to generate a few big plays, had a turnover or two, and play mistake-free football.

The offense sustained one drive. By the time the defense settled in, they allowed 17 points. And when you’re without your starting quarterback and left tackle, overcoming a three-score deficit would’ve required every break to go the Niners' way.

When you allow your opponent to convert six...

Sunday as a memorable day for the Dallas Cowboys to say the least.

The 26 points allowed by the Dallas Cowboys in their Week 12 visit to the Washington Commanders would have been enough to lose all but their season opening 33-17 win at the Browns. The final six of these 26 could have very well been seven to tie the game with 33 seconds left after Terry McLaurin’s 86-yard touchdown, but Austin Seibert missed his second PAT of the game to preserve a one-point Cowboys lead. With the Commanders down to a final onside kick attempt, the Cowboys special...

Dan Moore Jr. has steadily gotten better over the course of his four NFL seasons, but if there is one thing you can count on, it’s a massive game from Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett when the two match up against each other. Throughout Moore’s career, by far his worst games have come against the […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has enough to deal with on the field, but now he is embroiled in an ongoing legal dispute with his family.

Last week, Mayfield’s legal team filed a lawsuit claiming Camwood Capital Management Group, owned by his father, James W. Mayfield, violated a settlement agreement.

Mayfield, the former No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, filed a $12 million lawsuit which outlines a repayment plan for the money.

His brother Matt also has a stake in the company.

WFLA reports that Baker Mayfield’s wife, Emily, and the couple’s company, Team BRM, LLC, are...

This AFC clash features key battles between specific players, units, and coaches.

The Baltimore Ravens will stay on the road in Week 12 where they will travel to the West Coast to play the Los Angeles Chargers in the third edition of the Harbaugh Bowl in primetime on Monday Night Football. For the tenth straight week, the Ravens are favored to come out on top in this clash of AFC contenders with so many ties to each other from the coaching staff, front office and players on both the active and practice squad roster.

However, games aren’t won on paper...

The Jacksonville Jaguars could be a different team, coming out of their bye week, in the eyes of head coach Doug Pederson. While he kept details under wraps, Pederson teased about some ‘in-house’ changes, according to the 33rd Team’s Ari Meirov on X. The rumored decision doesn’t come as a surprise, as the Jaguars are 2-9 on the season and dead last in the AFC South.

They have one of the worst offenses and defenses in the NFL. Despite having Trevor Lawrence, Tank Bigsby, and Calvin Ridley, the offense isn’t where many expected it to be. Since Pederson took the...

Starting for the second straight game because Trevon Diggs was ruled out, a undrafted defensive player for the Cowboys was attacked all day yesterday, and he had a career game against the Commanders.

Josh Butler was picked on by the Commanders’ passing game all day.

But in the end, Butler held his own, and then some. He was credited with a team-high 12 tackles. He also had a sack on Jayden Daniels and had three pass deflections.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are down bad right now and have lost four in a row. While they had a bye in Week 12, their 2-9 record reflects just how brutal this team is.

However, the Jaguars may be getting their QB1 back for Week 13. After missing the last two games, Trevor Lawrence will return to practice on Monday from a shoulder injury. Depending on how he responds throughout the week, he could suit up on Sunday against the Houston Texans, per Adam Schefter.

Under Mac Jones, Jacksonville has scored just 13 points across the last two contests. He was...

For the second time after a loss this season, Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receiver George Pickens finds himself under fire for actions after the game with an opposing defensive back, as well as for comments made to the media regarding a team that just beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. This time, it’s coming out of the Week […]

The Indianapolis Colts are hoping to shake off their Week 12 loss to the Detroit Lions. During the contest, Colts wide receiver Josh Downs exited with a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter.

The Colts haven’t provided anything official, but it appears that Downs is considered week-to-week and is a long-shot to play on Sunday against the New England Patriots, a source said, per Ian Rapoport. The belief is he did not suffer a major injury.

Downs’ streak of quality performances came to a halt against the Lions, connecting on just three passes for 27 yards on seven targets from...
