One of the biggest stories of the week has come from Patriots coach Jerod Mayo’s public characterization of his team as “soft.” During the portion of the Let’s Go! podcast featuring Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby and Jim Gray, the topic came up. At first, Crosby answered with some confusion

Ravens running back Derrick Henry is averaging 124.7 yards per game, putting him on pace for 2,120 yards. That would break Eric Dickerson’s record of 2,105 yards he set in 1984 for the Rams. Lamar Jackson, the favorite for MVP, said he believes in Henry. “It’s there,” Jackson said Wednesday,

Bill Belichick’s barbs at G.M. Joe Schoen apparently won’t be enough to get Giants co-owner John Mara to make a regime change. Via Judy Battista of NFL Media, Mara said Wednesday that he doesn’t anticipate making a change to the coach or G.M., during or after the current season. Mara

Titans quarterback Will Levis had a limited practice Wednesday as he continues to work his way back from a shoulder injury. Levis is unlikely to play again this week, coach Brian Callahan said earlier in the day. “The outlook is . . . we’ll probably give Will one more week,”

The Texans were missing five defensive starters on Sunday against the Packers. Two of those aren’t back at practice and another remains suspended. Linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (knee) and safety Jimmie Ward (groin) did not practice Wednesday. Ward has missed the past two games, and Al-Shaair missed Sunday’s game. Defensive end

The Buccaneers have made a few roster moves, including one with receiver Chris Godwin.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has bigger goals than winning a third MVP award. He might win it anyway. Jackson is the current favorite, +225 at DraftKings Sportsbook. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is second on the list of odds, at +450. The others with odds better than 10-1 are Bills quarterback

After being released by the Eagles earlier this month, linebacker Devin White has found a new home. The Texans announced on Wednesday morning that they’ve signed White.

Bills QB Josh AllenTimothy T Ludwig/Getty Images The biggest losers in the Hopkins trade are the teams looking to unseat Kansas City as the franchise to beat in the AFC. While the Chiefs are undefeated, they’ve appeared vulnerable all season. Their defense is terrific (fifth in points allowed), but their

As the trade deadline approaches — and as the Rams struggle through a 2-4 season — receiver Cooper Kupp’s name has firmly emerged in trade talk. On Tuesday, reporters asked Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford how he handles such noise. “I’m a fan of the league so you hear those things,”

The NFL trade deadline is at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 5, and PFT has you covered with news and analysis of every trade, potential trade, rumor of a trade and trade that won’t be happening. Here’s what’s happening on the NFL trade front: The Chiefs and Titans are

Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is back at practice this week and he hopes that it’s not the final days that he’s working with teammates Cooper Kupp and Matthew Stafford. The Rams’ 2-4 start has led to chatter about trades involving Kupp and Stafford. Tuesday brought a report that that

For reasons neither known nor apparent, the Disney companies served up a staggered Monday night doubleheader that had Ravens-Buccaneers on ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2 — and Chargers-Cardinals only on ESPN+. It made no sense. And the latter game generated numbers not worth bragging about. That’s become the P.R. strategy this

Current Patriots coach Jerod Mayo and former Patriots coach Bill Belichick have exchanged some subtle, or otherwise, barbs of late. Former Patriots defensive back Devin McCourty, who knows both of them well, finds their public squabbling unfortunate. “I hate to see the way that when Mayo speaks, it kind of

After Cowboys owner and G.M. Jerry Jones claimed that he was “all in” (in the normal sense) for the 2024 season, it quickly became clear that they couldn’t start adding new players until they extended the contracts of receiver CeeDee Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott. The ensuing foot-dragging that lasted

Monday night’s Ravens-Buccaneers game provided plenty of issues to unpack and analyze. Here’s one that got no mention during the game broadcast. It got plenty of mention on Tuesday’s PFT Live. Trailing 41-18 with 3:49 to play, the Buccaneers capped a 70-yard drive with a touchdown. The score at that

The staggered doubleheader featuring one game on broadcast and cable and the other on the ESPN+ service resulted in, not surprisingly, less than stellar audience numbers for the game that was streamed, between the Chargers and the Cardinals. ESPN didn’t mention the audience numbers in the press release for the

The Rams signed cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon to the active roster from the practice squad, the team announced Tuesday. Witherspoon signed with the Rams’ practice squad Sept. 11.

After Monday night’s game, Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles offered up multiple reasons for the decision to have receiver Chris Godwin still on the field during the final minute of a seemingly lost cause. The best — and, really, only — explanation should be this: Crazier things have happened. The Bucs

The first Cardinals possession on Monday night went off the rails on their sixth snap. Chargers defensive tackle Teair Tart picked off a Kyler Murray pass near midfield, but running back James Conner made sure that the damage was minor. Conner knocked the ball out of Tart’s hands and the

Bucs wide receiver Chris Godwin will be out indefinitely, probably for the season, after dislocating his ankle in Monday’s loss to the Ravens.

Mike Evans made his 98th and 99th career receiving touchdowns two weeks ago against the Falcons. He waited two weeks to get his 100th, but he didn’t wait long in Monday Night Football. On the opening drive, the Buccaneers receiver caught a 25-yard touchdown pass from Baker Mayfield. The Bucs

Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald confirmed that receiver DK Metcalf has a minor medial collateral ligament sprain.

It doesn’t look like

The Cowboys had a bye last week, so Monday was the first time head coach Mike McCarthy was asked about comments that Troy Aikman made about the team’s receivers during a recent radio appearance. Aikman said the team’s wideouts “run terrible routes” and are “lazy coming off the line of

The 49ers lost on Sunday, but there was still something to celebrate at Levi’s Stadium. Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall made his regular season debut for the 49ers after being activated from the non-football injury list earlier in the week. Pearsall was shot in the chest in August, but avoided major

Van Jefferson’s father, Shawn, coaches the Jets receivers. None of the Jets receivers have a touchdown tonight, as tight end Tyler Conkin has Aaron Rodgers’ only scoring pass. Van Jefferson just scored his first touchdown since 2022, catching a 4-yarder from Russell Wilson. It has the Steelers on top 30-15

Russell Wilson threw for 264 yards and two touchdowns in his debut with the Steelers, leading Pittsburgh to a convincing 37-15 victory over the Jets. It was the most passing yards by a Steelers quarterback in his debut with the team, topping the 249 that Earl Morrell threw for against

Three weeks ago, when it became obvious that the Raiders would trade receiver Davante Adams, presumably to the Jets, the aftermath of the transaction wasn’t. Which receiver already on the team would be the odd man out? We suggested that perhaps Garrett Wilson might be traded. He’d recently made some

At 1-4, the Rams are off to their worst start under coach Sean McVay. With a loss on Sunday against the Raiders, the Rams would sink to their worst six-game record since 2011, when they began 0-6 on their way to 2-14. If the losses continue, the Rams possibly will

The most noteworthy aspects of the latest episode of the Let’s Go! podcast related to Bill Belichick’s comments about Jets owner Woody Johnson.

When Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh briefly left Sunday’s game because of an irregular heartbeat, defensive coordinator Jesse Minter served as interim head coach.

A trade to the Jets seems to have done wide receiver Davante Adams’s hamstring a world of good. Adams missed his final two games as a member of the Raiders because of a hamstring issue, although his trade request likely played a significant role in his inactivity as well. Adams

If you thought Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin would formally name a starting quarterback for Sunday night’s matchup against the Jets, think again.
