49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan would prefer if wide receiver Deebo Samuel’s keeps his feelings about the team’s offense inside the building, but the fact that Samuel didn’t isn’t anything he’s concerned about. Samuel wrote on X that he is “not struggling at all just not getting the ball” over

With footage emerging of former Jets defensive end Mark Gastineau accosting former Packers quarterback Brett Favre for taking a dive to help former Giants defensive end Michael Strahan set the single-season sack record in 2001, Favre has taken to Twitter to tell his side of the story. In so doing,

The Cowboys still draw a decent crowd, even when the Cowboys are barely decent. Last night’s Bengals-Cowboys game on ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2 generated an average audience of 18.7 million viewers. That said, the combined broadcast and cable audience wasn’t much bigger than Thursday’s streaming-only Packers-Lions audience initially reported by

On Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET, the 10-3 Bills and 12-1 Lions will kick off in Detroit, and at the same time the 10-3 Steelers and 11-2 Eagles will kick off in Philadelphia. That gives the NFL a great pair of late-season games, the likes of which football fans rarely

With the Chiefs on their third kicker of the season, the team called on safety Justin Reid to pull double duty on Sunday night. Reid kicked off five times against the Chargers. “Just his length of kickoffs,” coach Andy Reid explained, via Ed Easton of USA Today. “The ability to

Sam Darnold signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal to be a backup with the 49ers before the 2023 season. He signed a one-year, $10 million deal to be a bridge quarterback with the Vikings this offseason. After proving he is a starting NFL quarterback, Darnold’s price tag has gone way

Twenty-three years ago, Packers quarterback Brett Favre took a dive to give Giants defensive end Michael Strahan the single-season sack record. Everybody knows it. Everybody including Mark Gastineau.

The Giants have made several roster moves, including adding a veteran quarterback back to their practice squad. New York has placed cornerback Tre Hawkins on injured reserve and signed cornerback Greg Stroman to the 53-man roster off its practice squad.

After the Vikings started the season with a five-game winning streak, a conversation emerged regarding whether quarterback Sam Darnold can be named the 2024 comeback player of the year. In past years, it wouldn’t have been an issue. It went away during a two-game losing streak. Now, after Darnold threw

The Raiders have placed a running back on injured reserve, ending his season, while also adding a quarterback to their 53-man roster. Las Vegas announced on Tuesday that Zamir White has gone on IR. With just four games to go, White will not return in 2024. White hasn’t played since

49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel has 11 catches for 85 yards over the team’s last four games and he referenced his lack of production in a since-deleted social media post Monday. Samuel wrote on X that he is “not struggling at all just not getting the ball” and then followed

Cooper Neill/Getty Images Is it fair to call someone a sleeper when they’re tied for the third-best odds? It feels like it in this case, since Jared Goff’s resume feels a lot stronger than plus-1000 odds would indicate. Just consider his statistical case here. He has the league’s second-best completion

1. Lions (last week No. 1; 12-1): Too much risk it, eventually no biscuit. 2. Eagles (No. 3; 11-2): It’ll be hard to win the NFL’s equivalent of the Pennsylvania High School Championship when you can barely beat a JV team from North Carolina. 3. Chiefs (No. 4; 12-1): They

The Patriots are 3-10 as they return from their bye week and they will miss the playoffs for the fourth time in the last five seasons, but their head coach doesn’t have any doubts about the team being on the right track. During an appearance on WEEI on Monday, Jerod

The Bills defense had a rough time of it against the Rams on Sunday and things aren’t going to get any easier for the unit in Week 15. Los Angeles put up 357 yards while converting 11-of-15 third downs in their 44-42 win and defensive coordinator Bobby Babich said there

Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham is trying to roll back some comments he made about the relationship between quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receiver A.J. Brown. Graham was on WIP for his weekly radio show on Monday night and said that “the person that’s complaining need to be accountable” in

Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) was estimated as a full participant Monday as he seeks to return Thursday night. Higbee has not played this season after tearing his MCL and ACL in the 2023 postseason. He remains on the reserve/physically unable to perform list but returned to practice Nov.

As the North Carolina vacancy generates plenty of chatter about the possibility of Bill Belichick taking the job, a former prominent player at Chapel Hill has chimed in on the vacancy. “I’m getting a few requests about my thoughts on UNC Football,” Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive end Julius

Bengals running back Chase Brown celebrated a 19-yard catch-and-run with a leap into one of the giant Salvation Army kettles behind the end zone. Officials then ruled he stepped out at the 3-yard line. Brown questioned the on-field call while still in the kettle, and so did coach Zac Taylor

The Cowboys opened the second half the way they opened the first half. They went right down the field, scoring on an eight-play, 70-yard drive. Brandin Cooks caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from Cooper Rush. It has knotted Monday Night Football 17-17 with 10:32 remaining in the third quarter. The

Before the next match, Raw general manager Adam Pearce informed The Judgment Day that the scheduled match for Saturday Night’s Main Event has been changed…to a Triple Threat also featuring Priest (note: there it is).

Replay assist is fine, as long as replay assist is used properly. In the fourth quarter on Monday night’s game in Dallas, it might not have been. The Bengals faced second and 13 from their 46 with 7:32 to play. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw a short pass to receiver

The Cowboys went 36-15 in Micah Parsons’ first three NFL seasons. They are 5-8 after an unfathomable 27-20 loss to the Bengals on Monday night. “This one hurt me more than any loss this year, probably even worse than a playoff loss to be honest, because of where we were

Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown’s knee injury looked bad, and everyone in the Cowboys’ locker room reacted as if it is bad after Monday’s 27-20 loss to the Bengals. “He’s having an outstanding year, and we’ll see what what it brings,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. “It’s concerning at this time, very

As Bill Belichick talks to North Carolina about possibly becoming the next head coach at Chapel Hill, Belichick spoke some more about the situation on the Let’s Go! podcast, one of his umpteen 2024 media platforms. Asked by Jim Gray about abandoning the pursuit of the all-time wins record held

When the Eagles traded for former Titans receiver A.J. Brown in 2022, much was made about the pre-existing friendship between Brown and quarterback Jalen Hurts. The key word is pre-existing.

The finalists for the Heisman Trophy were announced Monday night.

The 49ers had a big win on Sunday against the Bears, but 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel did not have a big game. Samuel was held to two catches for 22 yards, continuing a disappointing season in which he’s averaging career-lows in catches per game and yards per game. But

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh spoke to reporters on Monday for the first time since the team announced that wide receiver Diontae Johnson would be suspended for this week’s game against the Giants and he didn’t have much to add to the original statement. The statement from General Manager Eric

Steph Chambers/Getty Images Colorado wasn’t exactly blindsided by their goaltending problems this season. Alexandar Georgiev, 28, had a shaky 2023-24 season and fell apart during the playoffs. Justus Annunen, 24, was a decent enough prospect who had shown well in limited action. That’s an unstable tandem to have. Unfortunately, the

The Eagles won their ninth straight game on Sunday, but the postgame locker room wasn’t all smiles Wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith aired their frustrations with an aerial attack that picked up just 108 yards in the 22-16 win over the Panthers. On Monday, head coach Nick Sirianni

Week 14 Result: Lost vs. Jacksonville 10-6 While speaking to reporters after what may well have been the single ugliest loss of the entire 2204 season, Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan may have sprained his cerebrum trying to rationalize the pathetic effort he just witnessed. “Lot of positive things,
