The Bears have possibly put the cart before the stadium. Although the team recently said that it has shifted its focus (again) from Chicago to Arlington Heights, the powers-that-be in the suburban village are essentially reciting Lee Corso’s catch phrase. On Monday, Arlington Heights mayor Jim Tinaglia said there’s no

Wednesday may bring a vote on whether to adopt a rule change proposed by the Packers that would ban all pushing or pulling of ballcarriers. That change would actually be a reversion to 2005, which was the final season when that was prohibited by the rule book, and the proposal

The 2025 NFL schedule features seven games outside the United States. Soon, the league wants to play 16 games a year in other countries. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league is all-in on opening new international markets and isn’t slowing down. “I do see 16 regular season games, and

Early in the offseason, Joe Burrow made it clear that he wanted to see the Bengals reward Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Mike Gesicki, and Trey Hendrickson with new contracts.

The Commissioner’s arm-twisting powers only go so far. He wants to revamp playoff seeding, in order to make late-season games more compelling.

The NFL is about to kill the tush push. Regardless of whether it will keep the Eagles from running the most consistently effective quarterback sneak the NFL has ever seen. Everyone knows it’s happening because someone decided he doesn’t like it. Whether it was the catalyst or the straw that

Count Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown among those who think the Cowboys made a good move by trading for wide receiver George Pickens. The move gives CeeDee Lamb a talented partner in the Dallas receiving corps and should make Dallas a tougher opponent than the one that lost two games

The Bears are planning on having Joe Thuney around for the next few years. Agent Mike McCartney announced on Tuesday morning that Chicago and Thuney have agreed to a two-year contract extension. Thuney was entering the last year of his contract, which is part of why the Chiefs traded him

As potentially unbreakable NFL records go, the all-time rushing mark seems to be one of the most untouchable. If any current player has a chance to get close enough to make things interesting, it’s Ravens running back Derrick Henry. He’s the active leading rusher, with 11,423 yards. That puts him

The Commissioner wants the playoff tree to be reconfigured to tie seeding to record, without regard to whether a team won its division. The goal isn’t to promote equity when it comes to who’s at home and who’s on the road in the playoffs; the objective is to make late-season

Rule changes in recent years have made onside kicks extremely difficult to recover, but a proposed rule change to be voted on at this week’s league meeting may help give the kicking team a chance. The league is considering changing onside kick rules to make it easier for the kicking
