The Las Vegas Raiders snapped their 10-game losing streak on Sunday with a 19-14 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Their win might have also been the New York Giants’ gain. The Raiders’ win could potentially alter the top of the 2025 NFL Draft in a significant way, as it dropped

The Eagles suffered their first loss since September today, falling for just the third time this season at the hands of the division-rival Commanders.

In Sunday’s home game against the Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor made amends for his Week 15 gaffe. Early in the third quarter of a 31-13 loss to the Denver Broncos, Taylor dropped the ball before he crossed the goal line on a would-be touchdown, resulting in

Per Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, Minnesota indeed hopes that it will be able to retain Darnold, who has piloted the Vikings to a 12-2 record and a shot at the NFC’s No. 1 seed. Jones’ sources confirm prior reports that the 27-year-old passer has set himself up for a

Recent reporting on Sam Darnold’s future with the Vikings suggested that the team has resigned itself to the fact that Darnold’s play in 2024 has priced him out of Minnesota, and that the club has not engaged in extension talks with the resurgent quarterback. However, the Vikes may not be

The Los Angeles Chargers scored on one of the rarest plays in professional football on Thursday night, when kicker Cameron Dicker successfully converted a fair-catch free kick just before halftime.  It is the first successful fair-catch free kick in the NFL since 1976 when Ray Wersching of the San Diego

In the second year of the Josh Harris ownership regime, the Commanders have seemingly found their franchise quarterback in Jayden Daniels and have an excellent chance to qualify for the postseason in Daniels’ rookie year.

As Diontae Johnson prepares to join his third team of the 2024 campaign, the wide receiver might not have the chance to choose his landing spot. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Johnson is unlikely to pass through waivers. Johnson can be claimed on Monday. Schefter points to the Chargers and

Bryce Young‘s 2024 season did not start the way he or the Panthers wanted it to. He will remain atop Carolina’s quarterback depth chart for at least the rest of the season, though. Young was benched in favor of Andy Dalton in Week 3, a move which put his Panthers future in

The New Orleans Saints might receive a visit from the Ghost of Christmas Future this Monday. The team officially ruled quarterback Derek Carr (left hand) out of Week 16’s game against the Green Bay Packers (10-4) at Lambeau Field, paving the way for rookie Spencer Rattler to make his fourth

The Titans made an interesting roster move today. Tennessee signed practice squad kicker Brayden Narveson to the active roster, which by itself isn’t that interesting. What’s interesting is that Narveson’s stay on the active roster seems to have been made fairly permanent (for this season). Mike Garafolo of NFL Network

No one was celebrating after Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell’s potential tying touchdown against the Chiefs. They were too busy mourning his apparent devastating lower-leg injury.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’s ankle looked fine on his 15-yard touchdown run against the Houston Texans.

Kirk Cousins‘ stint in Atlanta will likely last one season.

The New York Jets have struggled to find wins. Their quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, on the other hand, has been playing rather well if his stats are viewed in a vacuum. He’s thrown for 3,255 yards, 23 touchdowns and just eight interceptions this season. Those 23 passing scores equal the same

Once the Falcons selected Michael Penix eighth overall during April’s draft, questions were raised about the possibility he would take over from free agent addition Kirk Cousins earlier than the team anticipated. That has proven to be the case over the closing weeks of the campaign. Cousins has struggled mightily in recent weeks,

Even before it was confirmed in November that New York Giants legend Eli Manning had reached the semifinalist stage for modern-era players to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame next year, some of his former teammates campaigned for the two-time Super Bowl champion to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

It’s hardly a secret that Bill Belichick almost certainly wanted to return to NFL sidelines in 2025 since he’s just 15 wins away from breaking Don Shula’s league record for career victories earned by a head coach (regular season and postseason combined). While Belichick recently agreed to become head coach of the

A mutual interest exists between the Cowboys and Micah Parsons for a long-term extension to be worked out. Negotiations with the All-Pro edge rusher will be a central storyline during the offseason, but Parsons hopes to have a deal in place before the start of the new league year. “I’m going to

As injuries have harpooned a 49ers NFC title defense for the second time in five years, the team’s offseason becomes more relevant. The 49ers extended Deommodore Lenoir earlier this season but still has several starters moving toward free agency. The Lenoir extension probably sends Charvarius Ward back to the market,

While the situation could change, considering the New York Jets don’t have a full-time general manager or a full-time head coach employed ahead of Christmas, it seems like Jets owner Woody Johnson will move on from quarterback Aaron Rodgers after this season.  For a piece published on Friday, The Athletic’s Jeff Howe spoke with

Andy Reid is often left impressed by his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, for on-field reasons. But Mahomes is leaving Reid impressed for off-field reasons too.
