PITTSBURGH — Grow up.

That would be my advice to the Steelers offense, and it's not an unreasonable ask. It's not a demand to recreate that perfect preseason. This is a football town; people know preseason football can be deceiving. It's not even a demand for scoring explosions every week.

It's just a rational, history-based request for a ...Read more

LAS VEGAS — The game film indicated there were big plays for the taking in the Raiders’ lopsided loss Sunday at Buffalo.

To some, that creates optimism that better days are ahead. The theory is that the problem isn’t talent but execution.

To which star wide receiver Davante Adams rolls his eyes.

“I mean, it’s not a relief, honestly,...Read more

Rams coach Sean McVay said his decision to kick a field goal on the game’s final play against the 49ers on Sunday had nothing to do with covering the point spread.

Los Angeles was a 7½-point underdog most of the week before closing at +7. Down 10 with four seconds left, McVay opted for an otherwise meaningless 38-yard field goal as time ...Read more

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Through all the Dolphins’ offensive injury chaos last season — quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, left tackle Terron Armstead, right tackle Austin Jackson, running back Raheem Mostert, to name a few — there were two constants, wide receivers Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill.

Waddle and Hill, the speedsters who make life ...Read more

The Eagles are 2-0, but the Eagles have problems.

Their quarterback is a little gun-shy, a little rusty, and a little out of sorts.

So, run the ball.

Their frontline defenders are either too old, too young, or too hurt to be counted on to win games on their own.

So, run the ball.

Their first-time offensive coordinator, who calls the plays (...Read more

Not merely from that night at the Los Angeles Coliseum, from where it’s still hard to unsee ...Read more

TAMPA, Fla. ― It can’t last. At some point before the first cool front sweeps through Tampa Bay, Baker Mayfield’s blistering hot streak on third down will be gone.

But for right now, nobody is playing better when it matters most in games than the Bucs quarterback.

The biggest reason for the team’s 2-0 start may be Mayfield’s success ...Read more
