The Chicago Bears may be in the midst of a five-game losing streak, but the Chicago Bears’ pair of star rookies are a tight duo. Wide receiver Rome Odunze has unsurprisingly emerged as one of Caleb Williams’ favorite targets during both of their rookie campaigns, ranking second on the team in receptions (39), yards (518), and targets (70).

Both Williams (the No. 1 overall pick in the draft) and Odunze (the No. 9 overall pick in the draft) face a lot of attention and scrutiny as the Bears’ top picks of the 2024 NFL Draft. However, they’ve handled the pressure...

Saquon Barkley is making a case to be a rare non-QB to win NFL MVP. Here are the five non-QBs who came closest to winning MVP since 2012.

In his weekly radio interview, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones didn’t rule out the possibility of signing HC Mike McCarthy to an extension once this season is over.

“I don’t think that’s crazy at all. This is a Super Bowl-winning coach,” Jones said via Jon Machota. “Mike McCarthy has been there and done that. He has great ideas. We got a lot of football left.”

Jones declined to extend McCarthy’s contract after three straight 12-win seasons and the tenured coach entered this year on the final year of his contract.

Dallas is 4-7 so far but an upset win over the...

Baltimore wide receiver Zay Flowers crashed Lamar Jackson’s postgame interview to praise his quarterback after the Ravens beat the Chargers, and this is the wholesome activity you like to see.

Teammates lifting up each other is nothing new — we expect it. But Zay Flowers’ admiration for Lamar Jackson is just incredibly wholesome, and somebody needs to see it. Lisa Salters was interviewing Lamar about the Ravens’ win, and Zay Flowers, without warning, put a Sports Center Top 10-themed chain on Lamar’s head.

“Top 10,” Zay says with a huge smile as he daps up Lamar. “Matter fact, top two...

Jerry Jones noted an extension for Mike McCarthy should not be ruled out.

Jerry Jones spoke on Tuesday morning on 105.3 The Fan. This is one of true factual statements you will read in the next two seconds.

The second truth is that Jerry Jones said something outlandish that has people worked up that is probably just him stirring the pot.

What is going on, you ask? Jones noted that head coach Mike McCarthy could possibly receive a contract extension. Cue the chaos.

Let’s establish a few things before we move any further:

• Mike McCarthy is arguably the most...

Commanders

Washington tied the game with 21 seconds left on an 86-yard touchdown by WR Terry McLaurin but the extra point attempt to tie the game was missed. Commanders HC Dan Quinn didn’t want to go for two because he didn’t want the game to come down to one singular play.

“No. I thought after we score, we’d go for one,” Quinn said, via Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. “And the reason behind that thought, let’s get back into it but we don’t have to decide it on this play.”

Eagles

• Eagles DE Brandon Graham was...

That depends on how you do the math

In our 2025 NFL Draft Order post from Sunday we have the 2-9 New York Giants with the No. 2 overall pick after they were humiliated by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 30-7.

NFL.com has the Giants with the No. 1 overall pick.

It doesn’t really matter because the draft is not being held this week, and there are six more weeks of football before the selection order for non-playoff teams is finalized. It is, though, a discussion point — especially with the Giants likely strongly considering using their first pick on a...

Stephen A. Smith popped up on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown ahead of the Monday Night Football matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and Baltimore Ravens and got promptly roasted for the outfit he was wearing.

SAS — who some sports fans are considered will pull a similar “crash the set” move when ESPN begins broadcasting Inside the NBA next season — rocked up to the Monday Night Countdown set wearing an all-black outfit, a backwards hat and sunglasses in a look that could best be described as giving off “How do you do fellow kids?” energy.

The response of social...

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says it’s not a sure thing that head coach Mike McCarthy leaves at the end of the season. McCarthy is in the final year of his contract and the Cowboys are one of the most disappointing teams in the NFL this season, sporting a 4-7 record.

But Jones does local radio station 105.3 The Fan that he’s considering offering McCarthy a contract extension. Not only that, but the longtime Cowboys owner sounded pretty bullish on the idea.

Jerry Jones Says He Could Offer Cowboys Head Coach Mike McCarthy A New Contract

“I don’t think...

There are multiple ways the New England Patriots could add pass-catching help this offseason.

The Patriots could draft a receiver or sign a free agent (or both) given their draft capital and finances. But New England also could trade for an established pass-catcher, like it tried to do with Brandon Aiyuk.

Sport Illustrated’s Albert Breer dropped a few big names regarding who could become available, though the NFL insider admitted it was too early to know for sure.

“Well, the easy answer is I don’t know because these things develop late,” Breer said on NBC Sports Boston’s pregame coverage before...

For all the discourse surrounding his sideline energy and questionable play calls, one thing that can’t be argued is that the Eagles head coach knows how to win.

With the Eagles notching their seventh win a row on Sunday night, Nick Sirianni is now 43-19 as Philly’s head coach, and ranks fifth NFL all-time in winning percentage at .694.

Sirianni has taken a lot of heat during his tenure in Philly. Whether it was his introductory press conference, or making questionable fourth down calls instead of kicking a field goal, there’s been plenty for fans to nitpick about. But, when...
