Player: WR Ke’Shawn Williams Stock Value: Down Reasoning: Ke’Shawn Williams did not cost the Steelers the game, but his muffed punt may well cost him his job. The rookie college free agent has been the team’s return man for the past several weeks, but what comes next? He has seen diminishing returns in his performance, […]

It flew under the radar last week during the frenzy of action at the NFL trade deadline, and frankly because Arizona might be one of the sleepier markets in football right now. But the Cardinals and QB Kyler Murray took a major step toward a split this past week. Whether the team calls it a benching or not, Murray won’t be starting for the foreseeable future — and he might not regain his job ever.

How did the Cardinals get here with their former No. 1 pick? What’s next for the team? What’s next for Murray? We try to sort...

Unceremoniously benching defensive captain Logan Wilson was a bad look. His ensuing trade request was not a huge surprise, although the Bengals actually honoring it was uncharacteristic. Now he’s in Dallas, and a case of Déjà vu strikes me.

The year is 2020. Lou Anarumo is in his second season as the Bengals’ defensive coordinator. Paycor Stadium is still Paul Brown Stadium. And toilet paper is in short supply. It is here, in a stadium filled with cardboard cutouts, that the decision is made that Sam Hubbard and Carl Lawson should be getting work in front of 31-year-old fan favorite...

When it comes to the Cleveland Browns power pair of GM Andrew Berry and HC Kevin Stefanski, hot-seat conversations are appropriate. They have been discussed among the fan base and media since last season, but have escalated since the departure of Paul DePodesta and, now, with the loss to the one-win New York Jets in Week 10.

DePodesta’s role was always a discussion point because we never really knew the exact power that he held. Many believed he was primarily responsible for the hiring of both Berry and Stefanski. Those two aren’t the only ones with hot seats in Cleveland,...

The Detroit Lions (6-3) and Philadelphia Eagles (6-2) will square off in a Week 11 “Sunday Night Football” showdown between two of the best teams in the NFC.

While the Lions emphatically got back to their winning ways with a Week 10 victory over the Washington Commanders, the defending Super Champions have yet to play in Week 10, as they travel to Green Bay to take on the Packers on “Monday Night Football.”

Despite the week not yet being over, that won’t stop the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook from setting the **Week 11 initial betting line, which opens at...

He may not have played his best game of the season on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but Drake Maye once again led the New England Patriots to victory while making several highlight-reel plays. As a consequence, he now can officially call himself MVP frontrunner.

With the first 10 weeks of the NFL season in the books — besides a Monday night game between Green Bay and Philadelphia that projects to only have a minor impact in that regard — Maye has emerged to betting favorite for the league’s most valuable player trophy. While FanDuel has him tied with...

Chiefs-Seahawks trade rumor details near deadline deal between Kansas City and Seattle | Sporting News

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Seattle and Kansas City were close on a trade that centered around Seahawks linebacker Boye Mafe, who was the subject of trade rumors before deadline day.

However, despite the fact that it was believed something would get done, the Seahawks decided to hold on to their veteran linebacker.

“A near deal: At Tuesday’s NFL deadline, the Chiefs made a late strong push to acquire Seahawks linebacker Boye Mafe, per sources,” Schefter...

With the Bengals getting a week off, it is a great time to take a look at the snap count changes and trends over the course of the season.

At the beginning of the year, Trey Hendrickson was taking 70-80% of snaps, which was necessary but unsustainable. Since they have backed down his reps, the defense has gotten worse.

Now, Hendrickson is dealing with a nagging injury, so they can’t just rev his snaps back up.

In the meantime, there seems to be a shift, with Myles Murphy becoming the DE2 over Joseph Ossai, but it is not having the...

Any success or failures the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense has usually has something to do with its two young tackles, Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu. Unfortunately for the Steelers, their 25-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday night was full of offensive failures. Some of those could be attributed to the line, Fautanu said, which […]

After a second embarrassment in prime time over three weeks, Steelers captain Cam Heyward once again questioned the team’s togetherness. He seemed, and not unfairly, to attribute lapses to players not all playing on the same page, doing their job. While that’s typically the cause of such issues, the repeated nature of the comments raises […]

A blowout victory was just what the Detroit Lions needed to right the ship.

The difference between this week versus the Washington Commanders and last week versus the Minnesota Vikings was night and day. The week prior, little was working with the Lions offense. Jared Goff was under duress for most of the night and was sacked five times. The running backs faltered heavily, with Jahmyr Gibbs having arguably the worst game of his short-yet-stellar career. The team was 5-for-17 on third down attempts, many of which were third-and-long. During one stretch of the game, the Lions went punt, punt,...

Are your friends rowdy? Well then get ready, because they’re probably coming over tonight. The Green Bay Packers take the field on Monday Night Football, hosting the Philadelphia Eagles in a big measuring-stick game for both of these NFC teams who have designs on Super Bowl contention.

The Eagles of course knocked the Packers out of the postseason last year, winning the teams’ Wild Card round matchup en route to a Super Bowl title. They are coming off a bye week as well and should be a bit healthier than in recent weeks, which will make this contest a bit...
