It was a slow start for the New England Patriots offense down in Tampa Bay on Sunday. Then Kyle Williams joined the party.
After their first two drives of the afternoon ended in punts, the Patriots were looking for a spark. They found it on the first play of their third possession, as Drake Maye checked into a look that resulted in Williams running one-on-one across the field. As the QB hit him in stride, Williams and his 4.40-second speed did the rest taking it 72 yards for his first career touchdown.
“I think Kyle’s play early – we really...

The Browns are 1-4 with rookie QB Dillon Gabriel, their only win against the Dolphins, but Kevin Stefanski isn’t caving. After another uninspiring performance from his third-round pick, he once again maintained Gabriel is the starter—at least for now. Granted, he had arguably one of his better games against the Jets—but he still lost to […]

After sobering loss to Rams, 49ers seek reset as Brock Purdy nears return (paywall)
“This week’s opponent, the Cardinals, who lost 44-22 to Seattle, are a much softer re-entry place for Purdy than the Rams defense would have been. The same goes for the grass in Arizona, as opposed to the turf the last two weeks in Houston and New Jersey.
And there hasn’t been any rush since Jones has been so cool in the pocket and with teammates and playing so well. If Purdy’s backup was Brandon Allen, like it was a year ago, the $265 million man would...

The New England Patriots stayed in the win column on Sunday, celebrating a seventh straight W to improve to 8-2 on the year.
Here is who caught our eye for better or worse upon live viewing the 28-23 victory.
RB TreVeyon Henderson: It was a career-day for New England’s rookie back, who was forced to carry the load without Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and Terrell Jennings (knee) limited to just five snaps. Henderson responded with a career-best 147 yards on the ground and a pair of scores — each 50-plus yard runs in which the speedster clocked over 20...

The Miami Dolphins absolutely dominated the Buffalo Bills yesterday afternoon. After a week where there was discussions on whether this team would give up or not, the Dolphins played their most inspired game of the season. Does this win help them in the long run? Probably not. But it’s just nice to enjoy a victory over a division opponent that has dominated this team for the past several years. The Dolphins will be traveling out of the country for their matchup against the Washington Commanders in Madrid, Spain on Sunday.
You can check out that story here, and the rest...

Are the Steelers showing us who they really are? Last year, the Steelers fell apart at the end of the season after an improbable run. Is this just an earlier start on the grand reveal? Pittsburgh was somehow 10-3 at one point just a year ago, and even this year, they were 4-1. Now they’ve […]

The New York Jets have won two straight games after defeating the Cleveland Browns 27 – 20 on Sunday.
The Jets were thoroughly outplayed by the Browns in most aspects of the game on Sunday. The Browns had nearly twice the number of first downs as the Jets. The Browns nearly tripled the Jets’ passing yards. The Browns had more rushing yards than the Jets. Yet the Jets won the game. They did so with the help of an excellent performance by Breece Hall in the second half of the game, a dominant four sack performance by Will McDonald, and...

While the Las Vegas Raiders dropped their Thursday Night Football contest against the Denver Broncos and had a mini bye over the weekend, let’s check in on how Week 10 treated a few former Raiders: Jakobi Meyers, Davante Adams and Robert Spillane.
We’ll get things started with the newest former Raider, as Meyers was traded on Tuesday and was Jacksonville’s leading receiver on Sunday while Brian Thomas Jr. was out and Travis Hunter remains on injured reserve. Granted, the Jags only threw for about 160...

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive woes under prime-time lights persisted Sunday night as quarterback Aaron Rodgers labored through a 25-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium.
Nearing his 42nd birthday, Rodgers finished 16-of-31 for 161 yards, with one touchdown, two interceptions, and a 50.6 passer rating, his lowest of the season. Rodgers’ 51.6% completion rate was his worst since 2020, and his 50.6 passer rating ranks as the fifth-lowest of his career in a full game. He admitted postgame that several throws went awry, saying:
“A lot of stuff wasn’t working. We were bad on third down. I...

The Seattle Seahawks have crafted a new winning template. It might drive you a little bonkers in a different way that the old Seahawks did, but who’s say which way is better? I am. I will say. The new way is better. So you have to take a nap in the second half? Boo hoo. Pay attention until halftime, snooze, and wake up for the final defensive stand and victory formation. Like clockwork.
The Arizona Cardinals became the blueprint’s most recent victim in Week 10, falling 44-22 in a game that was always a three- or four-possession affair down the...
Field Gulls
In order to be successful in the NFL, teams need a combination of execution from players and schematics from the coaching staff. Bad game planning can put teams behind the eight ball before they ever step foot on the field. Former NFL GM Doug Whaley believes that is partially to blame for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ […]
