By Ben Levine | at December 23, 2025 9:55 pm D.K. Metcalf‘s two-game suspension was upheld earlier this evening. While the ban will obviously keep the Steelers receiver off the field for the rest of the regular season, it will also have an impact on his cap outlook moving forward.

It’s easy to get the sense that Dak Prescott is just about over this 2025 season. That doesn’t mean he’s not going to play it out, because he wants to, but the way things have turned out for the Dallas Cowboys has been less than ideal. They’re 6-8-1 and riding

What a difference a year makes.  In his rookie NFL campaign in 2024, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams threw for 3,541 yards, 20 touchdowns and six interceptions — very solid numbers, especially for a rookie.  But Chicago went 5-12 in a season that ended with 10 losses in a row before

Jerry Jones has faced criticism for years from people who believe he should step down as general manager of the Dallas Cowboys, but it does not sound like the 83-year-old has any intention of surrendering his day-to-day responsibilities.

By Ben Levine | at December 18, 2025 10:59 pm Bill Belichick‘s return to football as head coach at North Carolina could not have gone much worse. Despite an underwhelming product on the field and an unusual amount of news off the field, Belichick is still apparently attracting some interest

The NFL community was shocked to learn last week that Pittsburgh Steelers star pass-rusher T.J. Watt was dealing with a partially collapsed lung after he went through “a dry needling treatment session” at the team’s facility.  According to Steelers insider Mark Kaboly of “The Pat McAfee Show,” it sounds like the club is

The Kansas City Chiefs need to reboot the program after a disappointing season.
