Steelers OC Arthur Smith named North Carolina head coach candidate

Steelers OC Arthur Smith named North Carolina head coach candidate

The Steelers OC could take the head coaching job at UNC

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense has taken a step forward this season, averaging more yards and points per game than they ever did with Matt Canada calling the offense. And while many believe Arthur Smith could be doing more (which may be a fair point), he has done largely well with the pieces he’s been given. Smith has done such a good job that he has been named as a candidate to replace Mack Brown as the head coach at North Carolina.

The Tar Heels fired Mack Brown, and Smith’s...

Dallas Cowboys historical notes from win over Washington Commanders

Dallas Cowboys historical notes from win over Washington Commanders

Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys win was full of all sorts of impressive points of history.

The Dallas Cowboys took care of business on Sunday against the Washington Commanders and it is still hard to believe. With the Cowboys back in action so soon on Thanksgiving Day there is not a ton of dwelling on the game, even if it yielded positive results, but before we fully bury it we should take note of things that were impressive in certain respects.

This is where our the handy tools at Stathead and Pro Football Reference come into play. Every week we use their...

Fantasy Football Defense rankings – Week 13 (2024)

Fantasy Football Defense rankings – Week 13 (2024)

Fantasy football is beginning to enter the home stretch of the 2024 season as one of the biggest weeks of the year quickly approaches. Thanksgiving Day annually contains some of the biggest games of the year, particularly in fantasy football, in which the playoffs loom right around the corner.

While often neglected, having the right defense can sometimes be the difference between a win or a loss. In many leagues, the result of a Week 13 matchup holds significant playoff indications. That puts every position on an even playing field, making it even more important for managers to find the...

Rams most to blame for Week 12 loss to Eagles

Rams most to blame for Week 12 loss to Eagles

If the Los Angeles Rams secured the win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football, it would have been the ultimate coming out party to the NFL world.

Facing off against the NFL’s top rushing offense, top overall defense, and a passing game ripping up 40-plus yard bombs seemingly on the weekly, beating Nick Sirianni’s company would have not only put the Rams back in first place, tied with the Cardinals and Seahawks atop the NFC West, but also made them look like legit contenders overall, as they could quite literally beat anyone, even the best team in the...

Mike Tomlin doesn’t regret Justin Fields throwing deep ball to George Pickens

Mike Tomlin doesn’t regret Justin Fields throwing deep ball to George Pickens

Tomlin has faith in both quarterbacks

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost a one-score game to the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night to drop their record to 8-3 on the year. In the loss, the Steelers deployed the Justin Fields package more than they have at any point since Russell Wilson took over as the starting quarterback. We saw Fields take three snaps for the Steelers against the Ravens in Week 11, but he was utilized more against the Browns , including a 30-yard run that set up a Jaylen Warren touchdown.

Fields also threw a deep jump ball to George Pickens...

Report: Broncos activate edge rusher Drew Sanders to the 53-man roster

Report: Broncos activate edge rusher Drew Sanders to the 53-man roster

The Broncos added a former third round pick to the their edge rushing room.

According to 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis, the Denver Broncos have activated edge rusher Drew Sanders off the Physically Unable to Perform list (PUP) and activated him to their 53-man roster.

Sanders was drafted in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft and was viewed as an off-the-ball linebacker and an eventual starter at linebacker for the team moving forward. However, he struggled in that role and was moved to edge rusher because of his size, strength, and athleticism. He had success in college as a...

The latest Bears Banter Podcast has dropped!

The Chicago Bears are facing the Detroit Lions this Thursday on Thanksgiving and it’s going to be a tall order for Caleb Williams and company. The Lions currently sit at 10-1 and appear to be the best team in the NFL right now.

‘We Gotta Lay Them Down:’ Alex Highsmith Knows Pressure Will Be Key To Victory Over Bengals

After losing to the Cleveland Browns, the Pittsburgh Steelers must get back on track this week against the Cincinnati Bengals. That won’t be an easy task, though. The Bengals might be 4-7, but their offense is dangerous. Joe Burrow would probably have a strong MVP case if his team’s record were better. Alex Highsmith believes […]

Chiefs’ Marquise Brown teases injury return with IG post

Chiefs’ Marquise Brown teases injury return with IG post

The Kansas City Chiefs are still working through the kinks with their wide receiver unit ahead of a Week 13 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Some help could be on the way. Marquise “Hollywood” Brown hinted at a potential return from injury in a recent Instagram post on Tuesday, via Nick Jacobs of KSHB41 News. The Chiefs have been without their offseason acquisition since Brown suffered a devastating shoulder injury during the preseason.

Brown signed to the Chiefs on a one-year deal in March. His comeback would be great timing for the offense, and frankly for himself as he...

NFL Playoff Machine: How can the 49ers still sneak into the playoffs?

NFL Playoff Machine: How can the 49ers still sneak into the playoffs?

San Francisco’s season is in an ugly state currently, but hope is still there.

The San Francisco 49ers have been in a tough situation over the first 12 weeks of the season, as late-game struggles and overall inconsistencies have led the team to a 5-6 record thus far.

The last loss was the ugliest for San Francisco, as they fell 38-10 to the Green Bay Packers without quarterback Brock Purdy, committing three turnovers, nine penalties, and missing 19 tackles in an undisciplined effort.

Still, with all of the issues, the 49ers stand one game back in the NFC West, as...
