Despite the 30-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young earned the respect of his coaching staff and players by showing his talents on the field. As there will continue to be questions if Young is the future of the Panthers, head coach Dave Canales spoke about how he was impressed by his quarterback Monday during a press conference.

Panthers’ Dave Canales explains why he is “proud” of Bryce Young

In the loss to Kansas City, Young completed 21 of 35 pass attempts and threw for 263 yards to go along with one touchdown pass,...

Bears

The Bears came up short in Week 12 but showed more offensive promise under interim OC Thomas Brown. Chicago QB Caleb Williams explained how Brown has helped him feel more comfortable during the game specifically with communication.

“He has a certain aura to him that he just allows you to play free,” Williams said, via ESPN’s Courtney Cronin. “He knows what he wants. You know he knows what he wants. Whether it’s checks, alerts, all of that, we still have a bunch of those, all these different things.

The last time the Pittsburgh Steelers hit the field for a game, things didn’t go very well. Against the Cleveland Browns on a short week on Thursday Night Football, the Steelers dropped an ugly game to their AFC North divisional foe, 24-19. Prior to that loss, the Steelers were riding high, having won five straight […]

Plus, Brandon Allen is a serviceable backup

Let’s be honest: there wasn’t much to learn from the San Francisco 49ers’ 38-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers.

The 49ers’ starting lineup was heavily impacted by injuries, with Brock Purdy, Nick Bosa, and Trent Willaims out with injuries. San Francisco already had a steep hill to climb if they hoped to beat the Packers. But even if the 49ers had the trio of stars, the game’s result likely would have stayed the same (although the score likely would have been closer). Penalties, missed tackles, and mental mistakes did the 49ers in...

The Cowboys season took an unexpected turn on Sunday

Things were rolling along in a normal fashion. We, as fans of the Dallas Cowboys, found ourselves in a comfortable rhythm of watching the team lose each week and then we went about our business. There was an inevitable sense that this was our fate except for the occasional game against other duds like the New York Giants or the Carolina Panthers. The most important thing was watching our draft position for 2025.

Then the Cowboys pulled a stunner and beat the Washington Commanders. Suddenly the mood was lightened and there...

The post Steelers Sights Sounds: Vet ILBs Back in Action, No Highsmith appeared first on Steelers Now.

PITTSBURGH — Alex Highsmith was not with the Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebackers during the individual portion of practice on Tuesday. He had been hoping to return this week from the left ankle sprain that he suffered against the Washington Commanders.

The Steelers did get some good injury news, as the ailments that sidelined inside linebackers Patrick Queen and Elandon Roberts briefly against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday do not seem to be serious. They were both back at practice on Tuesday.

Kansas City is hosting Las Vegas in its first-ever Black Friday game.

When the (10-1) Kansas City Chiefs return home for Week 13, they’ll be trying something new: hosting an NFL game on Black Friday — the post-Thanksgiving shopping day that is dreaded by millions, but is a day off from work for millions more. And what better team to face than the league’s Men in Black: the (2-9) Las Vegas Raiders?

When these teams last met at Allegiant Stadium during Week 8, the Chiefs dealt the Raiders a 27-20 defeat (their fourth straight loss) while extending their own record...

The Bears have lost five in a row but there are still some things looking up.

Fans are over moral victories.

We’re sick of watching the Chicago Bears play close games every week, only to be let down by coaching in the critical moments and see the team flounder away from a win.

But here we are, in the middle of a five-game losing streak, looking for silver linings.

The Bears erased a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter against the Minnesota Vikings. Their rookie quarterback threw for over 300 yards and led two heroic drives to tie the game...

Writers around the league are focusing on the offseason in Las Vegas during the final month and a half of the campaign

We’ve got six games left for the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2024 season and it feels like the team has more questions now than when the campaign started. To no surprise, the 2-9 club ranks toward the bottom of every NFL power ranking heading into Week 13 as the focus is on the quarterback situation and thus, the NFL Draft.

Let’s get the latest from the Big D:

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on @1053thefan said he’s not ruling out a contract extension for head coach Mike McCarthy.

“I don’t think that’s crazy at all. This is a Super Bowl-winning coach. Mike McCarthy has been there and done that. He has great ideas. We got a lot of football…

Alright! I know the Cowboys are butt this year, but is Mike McCarthy the biggest issue down there? He is not. The biggest problem is Jerry Jones, of course. Mike...
