JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The New York Jets continue to spiral in the final month of the season.

Trevor Lawrence‘s five touchdowns helped the Jacksonville Jaguars steamroll the Jets 48-20 on a beautiful 70-degree day at EverBank Stadium.

Sunday marked the most points the Jets defense has allowed since 2021, when they allowed 54 to the Patriots....Read more

NEW YORK — Jaxson Dart‘s running again landed him in the blue medical tent during Sunday’s 29-21 loss to the Washington Commanders.

The rookie quarterback carried the ball on first and-goal from the 1-yard line with 11:38 remaining in the fourth quarter. And his head was folded backward awkwardly on a joint tackle by Washington defensive ...Read more

CINCINNATI — In the coldest game in Ravens’ history and with the season hanging in the balance, Baltimore finally heated up on both sides of the ball Sunday afternoon.

An icy chill danced off the banks of the Ohio River and down through Paycor Stadium, the actual temperature at kickoff 10 degrees with a feels-like of minus-1, surpassing the...Read more

PHILADELPHIA — “Get-well game” might be an understatement.

The PhiladelphiaEagles clobbered the lowly Las Vegas Raiders, 31-0, on a cold, windy Sunday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field. Vic Fangio’s defense dominated, posting the Eagles’ first shutout since Dec. 30, 2018 (a 24-0 victory over Washington).

At long last, the Eagles ...Read more

CHICAGO — Coach Ben Johnson said this past week that the Chicago Bears “desperately” needed a win against the Cleveland Browns. His team took care of business Sunday at Soldier Field.

The Bears handled the Browns easily, winning 31-3 in front of 54,051 fans in one of the coldest games ever played at Soldier Field. The temperature at ...Read more

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The New England Patriots were bound to lose eventually, but Sunday’s 35-31 loss to the Buffalo Bills stings a little extra.

The Patriots took a commanding 21-0 lead in the first half and appeared that they were going to run away with the game easily until their defense turned into a sieve and surrendered touchdowns on ...Read more

Conference championships are in the rearview. The College Football Playoff and a myriad of mostly meaningless bowls are upon us.

Over the next month, we’ll be hyper focused on which underclassmen declare their intentions of entering the NFL draft or decide to stay in school.

A talented draft class is starting to solidify, but we won’t know...Read more

MIAMI — Any challenge that arises can be seen as soil which can be used to birth something new, or foster growth.

That’s the best way to describe how the Miami Dolphins offensive line transformed itself from the weakest link on the 2025 team in the first half of the season into one of its strengths, which has produced four wins in a row and...Read more

CHICAGO — Case Keenum is well aware of the jersey — the infamous, fan-altered jersey of former Cleveland Browns quarterback Tim Couch with a long list of his successors under his nameplate.

Keenum should know it. He’s on it.

“I’ve seen that shirt,” said Keenum, who played for the Browns from 2020-21 and joined the Bears as a free ...Read more

DENVER — The Broncos reside somewhere between a fluke and a joke.

Seriously, that is the prevailing national opinion.

No team boasting a 10-game winning streak and 11 straight victories at home has ever been given less respect.

The Broncos are underdogs to the Packers this Sunday. Not the 1997 Packers with Brett Favre, Reggie White and ...Read more

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Brandon Aiyuk has officially left the 49ers’ building — and roster, likely forever.

Aiyuk’s stalled comeback from last season’s knee injury turned into such a vanishing act that the 49ers reclassified his status Saturday as “reserve/left squad.”

Aiyuk did not previously count against the 53-man roster with ...Read more

LOS ANGELES — Jared Goff doesn't think about it much anymore.

"It feels like a long time ago," he told Detroit reporters this week.

Matthew Stafford hinted at the same during his weekly availability with Los Angeles reporters.

It's been nearly five years since the Rams sent Goff, two first-round draft picks and a third-round pick to the ...Read more

TAMPA, Fla.— A week ago, Dave Canales wasn’t pacing a sideline or dialing up plays. Instead he sat on his couch, remote in hand. But the Carolina Panthers head coach was very much invested in the outcome of the game in front of him.

The New Orleans Saints, who happened to be Carolina’s next opponent following their bye week, were on their...Read more

The return of Philip Rivers is becoming a dadgum reality.

The Indianapolis Colts have added the 44-year-old quarterback to their active roster and plan to start him in Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, according to multiple reports.

Rivers, an eight-time Pro Bowl selection and Hall of Fame semifinalist, has not played since calling ...Read more

LAS VEGAS — This was coach Pete Carroll as the Raiders were about to open training camp:

“We are going to win a bunch of games,” he said. “I can’t even imagine anything else. I’ve been winning 10 games a year for 20 years or something. I mean, what are my expectations? We are going to win a bunch, and I don’t care who hears that. ...Read more

PHILADELPHIA — Nick Sirianni is only half right.

It is ridiculous to think that the Eagles might consider benching their Super Bowl MVP quarterback with four games left in the season and a division title all but assured.

Yet, Sirianni and his coaching staff have a long list of equally ridiculous things they must consider.

— It is ...Read more

The National Football League is many things — a multibillion-dollar entertainment juggernaut, a litigious bully, and a weekly soap opera where grown men in tights fight over an oblong ball.

But mostly, the NFL is a league of desperation.

And because of that, despite it being mid-December, the speculation has already started about this ...Read more

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Butch Barry, the Dolphins’ third-year offensive line coach who might be just as responsible for their recent run game success as running back De’Von Achane and coach Mike McDaniel, is a background figure to most fans.

In a sense, Barry, whose offensive line has cleared the way for the Dolphins to average a league-...Read more
