Will Levis entered 2024 as the Titans’ starting quarterback, retaining that title after returning from an AC joint sprain earlier in the year.

Tyrann Mathieu agreed to a new Saints deal this past offseason, signaling that he will continue playing past the current campaign. The All-Pro safety is uncertain of when his career will end, but he intends to suit up for 2025 at a minimum. Mathieu said on Monday (via ESPN’s Katherine Terrell)

Some have tabbed Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as the Chicago Bears’ top head-coaching candidate. But does he want the job?

The Jets have one head coaching interview lined up, and another could soon follow. Rex Ryan said on Monday he anticipates receiving the opportunity to interview for the gig. “I believe I will,” Ryan said during an appearance on ESPN morning radio when asked if he will speak with the team about the

Saquon Barkley burst through the line Sunday, slashing his way to NFL history. The Philadelphia Eagles running back didn’t just join the exclusive 2,000-yard club — he steamrolled his way to 2,005 yards, becoming just the ninth player to achieve the milestone and positioning himself to chase Eric Dickerson’s all-time

One week remains in the Patriots’ season, a campaign which has witnessed a number of unwanted developments. With New England’s loss on Saturday and the Giants’ win yesterday, though, a silver lining could emerge in the form of the No. 1 pick in the draft. [RELATED: Updated Draft Order] Losing

Once again, ESPN analyst Rex Ryan is trying to return to an NFL sideline. On Monday, Ryan told Jake Asman of WHSQ-AM in New York, “He expects to speak with the Jets for their head-coaching opening after the regular season ends.”   The Jets (4-12) fired head coach Robert Saleh

Barkley ran for 176 yards against his old team in Week 7 and averaged 158.5 yards per game over the past two weeks despite being pulled early in the fourth quarter against Dallas. He ran for 109 yards in the first quarter alone against the Commanders in Week 16 and

Plenty of changes took place regarding the projected draft order on Sunday. Most notably, the Giants’ first home win of the year took them out of the top spot and greatly lowered their chances of securing the No. 1 pick. Instead, the Patriots are now in pole position to select

The Jets’ decision to move on from Joe Douglas created a vacancy for the general manager position. The team moved quickly in bringing in Mike Tannenbaum and Rick Spielman to lead the way in the search for his replacement along with a new head coach. Several candidates for the GM position have already emerged, but

Not long after their Super Bowl loss, the 49ers moved on from defensive coordinator Steve Wilks. That decision came as little surprise given the perceived friction between he and head coach Kyle Shanahan, and the latter’s search for a replacement was a key element of San Francisco’s offseason. The team looked

Apparently, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen heard Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is catching up in the MVP race.  Late in the third quarter of Sunday’s home game against the New York Jets, the Bills QB added to his impressive highlight reel.

The Indianapolis Colts seem to be allergic to making the playoffs.

In three of those seasons the Colts have suffered devastating, embarrassing losses in must-win

The Green Bay Packers better hope running back Josh Jacobs isn’t developing a case of fumblitis.  Through his first 15 games, Jacobs had a career-high three fumbles, losing two. He lost another early in the first quarter of Sunday’s road game against the Minnesota Vikings. On a 2nd-and-4 at Minnesota’s

New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner had a brutal assessment of his teammates after Sunday’s ugly loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Jets lost to the Bills, 40-14, with their once-vaunted defense allowing six touchdowns in defeat. Gardner said after the game that he felt some of his teammates had

The Minnesota Vikings aren’t going to let quarterback Sam Darnold go anywhere if he keeps tossing long touchdown passes.  Early in the second quarter of Sunday’s home game against the Green Bay Packers, Darnold threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to third-year wide receiver Jalen Nailor on a 2nd-and-8.   Darnold

The race for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft is heating up, and there have been some big changes at the top over the past two weeks. Thanks to this weekend’s results, including the New England Patriots 40-7 loss to Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday, as

The future of Antonio Pierce as the Las Vegas Raiders head coach remains unclear following a 25-10 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.  NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Sunday that Pierce’s future as the Raiders coach is “in serious doubt.” It is expected that Mark Davis will take

It was a rough week to be a starting quarterback whose last name begins with “R.” Spencer Rattler, Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph and Cooper Rush disappointed with poor games in losses.

When the New York Jets brought in Aaron Rodgers during the 2023 offseason, hopes were sky high for the first time in a long time in the Big Apple.  The media hype leading up to the trade with Green Bay was as intense as we’d seen in some time. So,

With his two-yard game-winning touchdown reception on Sunday night, Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz sent two teams to the playoffs and completely changed the outlook of the NFC playoff picture.

The Cincinnati Bengals kept their slim postseason hopes alive with a dramatic win over the Denver Broncos on Saturday night, thanks in large part to Joe Burrow and Tee Higgins.

Following his first head coaching stint in Tennessee, Mike Vrabel has been serving as a coaching and personnel consultant in Cleveland.

Minnesota Vikings safety Camryn Bynum promised that the celebration he had planned Sunday for after a Vikings takeaway would be the most viral one yet. Bynum is known for eye-catching celebrations that reference pop culture, but this week’s dance certainly lived up to his promise. Bynum recovered a fumble early

Even though the Miami Dolphins were without QB Tua Tagovailoa and WR Jaylen Waddle on Sunday, they were too much for the Cleveland Browns in a 20-3 road win. With the win, the Dolphins improve to 8-8 and keep their playoff hopes alive with one game to go. The Dolphins

The Dolphins entered Sunday’s action still alive in the AFC wild-card race, but a steep path to a playoff spot still remains. If Miami falls short of the postseason, the team’s play on offense (particularly in the games without Tua Tagovailoa in the lineup) will be responsible to a significant

After the Dallas Cowboys tied the game at 7-7 with 5:38 remaining in the first quarter, the Philadelphia Eagles scored 41 unanswered points in a blowout win to clinch the NFC East title.

Deshaun Watson will remain with the Browns for (at least) one more season, with his latest restructure now on the books. Cleveland will look to add competition at the quarterback spot this offseason, though, and the draft is an avenue which could be used in that effort. The Browns enter Sunday’s

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers remain very much alive in the race for the NFC South title. Led by a stellar game from quarterback Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay thumped the Panthers, 48-14 and kept itself in the playoff hunt headed into Week 18. The Bucs swept the season series over the

Things at Raymond James Stadium got a little quacky late on Sunday. Up 34-14 in the third quarter against the Carolina Panthers, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers special teams decided to get in on the team’s rout with a score of its own. J.J. Russell scooped a blocked punt and ran

Three head coaching vacancies are currently in place in the NFL, and the Jets will also be in the market for a new general manager this offseason.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield was dealing in the first half against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. This 10-yard TD pass to WR Jalen McMillan extended Tampa Bay’s lead to 27-7 with 1:11 remaining in the half and gave Mayfield his third TD of the half. Prior to that,

The Patriots have fallen short in several wide receiver pursuits this year, missing out on two players who were selected in the first round of this year’s draft – Xavier Worthy and Xavier Legette – and failing to complete a trade for 49ers wideout Brandon Aiyuk despite an aggressive pitch.

A report from earlier this month suggested that the Indianapolis future of Colts’ second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson is uncertain and could be tied to the fate of the man who drafted him, general manager Chris Ballard. And, since the club is at risk of missing the playoffs for the sixth

However, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports that the Colts plan to move forward with Richardson as their starting signal-caller in 2025. The No. 4 overall pick of the 2023 draft was benched in favor of veteran Joe Flacco in Week 9, but Flacco did not play well in Week 9

New England Patriots pass-rusher Keion White has had a mediocre 2024 campaign, but that hasn’t stopped him from being unhappy with the state of the organization. The Patriots suffered another defeat as New England couldn’t stop the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17. The Bolts walked all over the Pats
