Broncos coach Sean Payton has a history with Atlanta, dating back to the intense rivalry between the Saints (whom he coached from 2006 through 2021) and the Falcons. Payton’s current team was back in Georgia tonight for a preseason game. And Payton couldn’t resist making a crack about the crowd in Atlanta, or the lack […]

The NFL has acted on the James Pearce Jr. matter. Pearce’s offseason arrest will produce an eight-game suspension, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. Pearce will not appeal the ban, according to The Athletic’s Jonathan Jones and Josh Kendall. This expected news comes days after Jalon Walker‘s ACL tear, changing the complexion of an Atlanta pass rush that […]

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton couldn’t help but notice the empty seats at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where his team was playing the host Atlanta Falcons on Friday in a preseason battle. During a halftime interview, Payton was asked by NFL Network’s Cynthia Frelund about his winning record against the Falcons. Payton, who was the New […]

The Atlanta Falcons brought in quarterback Tua Tagovailoa this offseason as an insurance plan for Michael Penix Jr., who the team planned on being the franchise signal-caller. While that may end up being the case still, the 2024 first-round pick has a concerning injury history that reared its ugly head once again last season. Penix […]

The Texans signed kicker Chris Freeman on Wednesday to have him kick in Friday’s preseason game. He kicked an extra point in the team’s 27-7 loss to the Chargers. The team waived Freeman on Friday. Freeman is an undrafted free agent who played four college seasons at Indiana and two at Connecticut. In the past […]

A third Friday-afternoon suspension announcement has now come out. This one involves Commanders defensive end Dorance Armstrong, whom The Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala reports will draw a one-game ban for a personal conduct policy violation. Going into the final season of a three-year, $30MM contract, Armstrong spent his offseason rehabbing an ACL tear sustained in Week […]

Three weeks before kicking off the 2026 season, Texas A&M has revealed a new uniform that will be used during games. The Aggies unveiled their custom camouflage uniforms in a series of photos and videos released on Friday. Brian Jones of On3.com noted the jerseys pay homage to Texas A&M’s history as an agricultural and […]

It’s not unusual to see teams hold out their starters from preseason games, especially the first one. That’s why not watching Christian Gonzalez take the field on Thursday night’s 13-13 tie to the Indianapolis Colts wasn’t surprising. Nevertheless, given his contract stalemate and the fact that he also missed some of the joint practices, the […]

The Cardinals appear to have lost their second-round draft pick for a significant period of time with a preseason knee injury. Cardinals guard Chase Bisontis was injured when a Raiders defensive lineman fell into the side of his left knee in the third quarter on Thursday night. He was carted to the locker room. Arizona […]

Close-game magic played a central role in the Bears to a quick turnaround in 2025. Chicago, however, saw an immediate impact from a transformative coaching hire, as ex-Lions OC Ben Johnson was the driving force of change for a Chicago team that had not produced a winning record since 2018. Adam La Rose’s Bears Offseason […]

The first and third overall picks in this year’s draft made their NFL preseason debuts on Thursday as Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza and Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love stepped on the field. The Cardinals emerged victorious, defeating the host Raiders 27-14. Here’s a look at some pertinent stats. Both Mendoza and Love […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers won their preseason opener, beating the Green Bay Packers to the tune of 28-9 on Thursday night. But the result and convincing final score isn’t what Steelers fans are talking about in the aftermath of the game.  Rookie quarterback Drew Allar performed at such a level that made him stand out in […]

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow started the team’s first preseason game Thursday night against the Lions. He went 5-for-6 for 39 yards, with his only incompletion coming when his arm was hit. Burrow had a 16-yard completion to Ja’Marr Chase. He was sacked for a 9-yard loss two plays later, and the drive stalled. The Bengals […]

After taking several visits, Terrion Arnold has found his new home. The cornerback is signing with the Seahawks, according to Jordan Schultz. It’ll be a one-year deal, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Arnold met with the organization this past weekend. The former first-round pick had been on the open market since clearing waivers following his […]

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was the subject of a number of dispatches from media members at Thursday’s practice. The first set had to do with Barkley breaking off impressive runs while working through drills against his defensive teammates. The second will be less exciting to Eagles fans hoping to see the offense bounce back […]

Joe Burrow apparently arrived at Cincinnati Bengals training camp with less patience and a sharper tongue. That might help the Bengals, but it also says plenty about how tired their quarterback has become of watching seasons slip away. Ja’Marr Chase has nicknamed this version of his quarterback “Mean Joe.” Burrow has been more vocal during practice and quicker to […]

Deshaun Watson will see his first live, on-field action since midway through the 2024 season on Saturday when the Browns play the Bears in their preseason opener. As Browns owner Jimmy Haslam put it, the Watson trade has been “a big swing and a miss” for the franchise. Watson hasn’t played good football since 2020, […]

After months of public hemming and hawing, Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell announced his starting quarterback on Tuesday. The Vikings are rolling with inexpensive free agent flier Kyler Murray, not homegrown first-round pick J.J. McCarthy. When meeting with the media to address the decision on Wednesday, McCarthy said the right things. “Obviously, every competitor wants […]

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls from developer Arc System Works isn’t an ordinary entry in its genre.  Like Marvel Rivals and its ever-expanding PVE modes atop an excellent PVP experience, Tokon hopes to be the pinnacle all-around fighting game experience.  To that end, there’s a must-have story mode and characters that appeal to many, plus the […]

Aaron Rodgers was really hoping to be able to check out Lambeau Field as a visitor for the first (and only) time in his legendary NFL career. Rodgers’ Pittsburgh Steelers will play his former team, the Green Bay Packers, in the preseason. For a while, it wasn’t certain whether that game would be in Green […]

The NFL’s secret, rigged, kangaroo court of arbitration continues to crumble. On Wednesday, the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles found that an arbitration clause used by the Rams is unconscionable and, in turn, unenforceable. The dispute arose from a lawsuit filed by Brittany Todd against the Rams. She claims that her March […]

AUGUST 12: During a recent interview with NFL Network’s Stacey Dales and Brian Baldinger, Parsons clarified that Week 6 would be his “most optimistic” return date at this point. Plenty of time remains for his timeline to change, but the Packers remain on course for a notable stretch to begin the season with a shorthanded defense. […]

After a disappointing 2025 season, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney seems to be taking a rather humble approach to the 2026 campaign. “Everybody’s just working,” he told reporters Wednesday when asked if anyone is standing out in practices. “We’re just a bunch of nobodies. We’ll see if anybody becomes somebody as we play some games.” […]

Even with that being the case, there is still a path that makes the most sense for the Browns. And it probably isn’t Watson. The only logical reason for Watson to get the starting job, and the only logical reason for him to still be on the team, is because ownership and management saddled the […]
