With the dysfunction beginning at

Until Sunday, no player in NFL history had multiple games with at least 400 passing yards, four passing touchdowns, and a perfect 158.3 passer rating. But now Jared Goff has done it. Goff finished Sunday’s win over the Jaguars with 412 passing yards, four touchdowns and a 158.3 passer rating.

The 2024 head coaching cycle saw three coaches get their second opportunities to run NFL clubs and the results have been good for Jim Harbaugh, Raheem Morris, and Dan Quinn thus far. The Chargers, Falcons, and Commanders are 20-12 combined and all three would be in the playoffs if the

Sunday’s Chiefs-Bills game drew the NFL’s biggest audience so far of the 2024 regular season. The CBS broadcast drew 31.2 million viewers, according to Sports Business Journal. Outside Thanksgiving and Christmas games, that was the biggest audience the NFL has had for a regular-season game since a 2007 matchup between

Bengals cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt was benched on Sunday night, the second time this season he has taken a seat. In Week 4, defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo cited sloppy technique and unnecessary risk taking by Taylor-Britt. On Sunday, Taylor-Britt’s inexplicable mistakes were responsible for the Chargers’ first two touchdowns. “Things that

Before benching Daniel Jones, the Giants had three quarterbacks on the depth chart. Now, they have four. The addition of Tim Boyle to the practice squad invites fair speculation regarding the plans for Jones over the balance of the season. If he won’t be playing in order to avoid $23

With Colorado thriving in 2024 and coach Deion Sanders being linked to other jobs (on Friday, former Cowboys teammate Michael Irvin made clear his intention to pitch Deion to Jerry Jones), Sanders was asked about the situation at a press conference on Tuesday. The initial question mentioned college and pro

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday he is not giving up play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. “Haven’t considered that,” McCarthy said, via Ed Werder of WFAA. “Don’t think like that.” The Cowboys rank 20th in total offense and tied for 24th in scoring a year after ranking fifth

It looks like Sean Payton got the last laugh. More than a year after Payton criticized the hype surrounding the Jets and body-slammed offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett in comments to Jarrett Bell of USA Today, a loss by the Jets to Payton’s Broncos sparked a report, emerging on the same

Myles Garrett is miffed that T.J. Watt was miffed about the Browns edge rusher winning defensive player of the year in 2023 over Watt. The Steelers edge rusher, who didn’t attend NFL Honors, wrote on social media “nothing I’m not used to” when the award went to Garrett in February.

The Cardinals designated first-round draft pick Darius Robinson to return from injured reserve on Oct. 9. He practiced once in a limited fashion before his mother died. On Monday, with the Cardinals coming off their off week, the defensive lineman returned to practice for the first time in six weeks.

On the last play of the Seahawks-49ers game, a catch that became not a catch kept those who bet the over on Deebo Samuels’s receptions prop from cashing in. A reader sent the game footage and the NFL’s official explanation of the play. Referee Brad Rodgers explained that an offensive

Free agent safety Adrian Colbert is re-signing with the Bears, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports. It is unknown whether Colbert is signing to the team’s active roster or the practice squad. The Bears also worked out safeties Johnathan Abram, Terrell Edmunds, Jason Taylor and Tracy Walker with Jaquan Brisker

Monday night’s lopsided game between the Texans and Cowboys nevertheless lit up the ratings. According to ESPN, the ABC/ESPN/ESPN2 multicast racked up an audience of 17 million viewers, on average. The Texans won the game, 34-10. The placement of the game on ABC surely pumped up the numbers. Still, given

The Giants signed Tim Boyle to their practice squad, but they worked out another quarterback Tuesday. Free agent Alex McGough went through a tryout with the team, Eric Edholm of NFL Media reports. The Giants have named Tommy DeVito as the starter, benching Daniel Jones, who likely has played his

Six weeks to the day after the Jets fired coach Robert Saleh, owner Woody Johnson fired G.M. Joe Douglas. Why now? It seems to be, on the surface, a do-something/do-anything move by Johnson. A wild swing at a piñata that might or might not even be hanging nearby. A pound

Since the owner said he has no desire to see Trey Lance start a game this season, it was a given that Cooper Rush would retain his starting job. Coach Mike McCarthy made it official Tuesday, announcing during his media availability that Rush will start Sunday at Washington. McCarthy added

Former Patriots cornerback Marco Wilson is on to Cincinnati. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Bengals have claimed Wilson off of waivers. The Patriots cut Wilson on Monday in order to make room for cornerback Alex Austin’s return from injured reserve. Wilson played 206 defensive snaps in 10

Lions defensive back Ifeatu Melifonwu is back on injured reserve. The Lions activated Melifonwu on Monday, but head coach Dan Campbell indicated it would be a brief stint on the 53-man roster. Melifonwu was designated to return from an ankle injury, but suffered a finger injury while making his way

Miami QB Cam WardRich von Biberstein/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images With Rodgers set to be a part of the Jets’ past, it’s time to target a new quarterback of the future in the 2025 draft. Things didn’t work out with Zach Wilson or with Sam Darnold before him. However, those

After coaching against Patriots quarterback Drake Maye on Sunday, Rams head coach Sean McVay came away impressed. “He looks like a stud,” McVay said, via Mike Reiss of ESPN. “I didn’t do too much work on him coming out [of college]. I do know a lot of people that studied

As currently written (if they’ve even been reduced to writing), the so-called (by me) Brady Broadcast Rules might be more of a favor than a hindrance to Brady. That might change. Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal reports that the rules could be expanding. The impetus apparently was Tom Brady’s

Jets owner Woody Johnson has issued a statement confirming the news of Joe Douglas’ firing and in it, named Phil Savage interim General Manager. “Today, I informed Joe Douglas he will no longer serve as the General Manager of the New York Jets,” Johnson said. “I want to thank Joe
