Sadly, another NFL week is in the books. But thankfully, we have six more weeks of regular season football left. A Monday Night showdown against two of the best offenses in the league was everything we wanted it to be. The Saints made the Eagles look like the Bills, beating them by 41 points. Gruden and Carr got into it on the sideline, but the Raiders got their second win of the season. Lamar Jackson won his first game as a starter. Do the Ravens stick with him when Flacco is healthy enough to start again? Let’s dive into the…

Another week of the NFL season has come to an end. The Browns got their third win of the Baker Mayfield era against a Falcons team that had won three straight games. The Bills not only scored more points than the Chiefs, but the entire AFC East this week. Fitz’s magic has run out, but the Bucs are still sticking with him. Drew Brees is now only behind Peyton Manning for most passing touchdowns all time. Hue Jackson got re-hired, by the Bengals. Let’s leap into the Week 11 NFL power rankings. Last Week’s NFL Power Rankings Teams 32-11…

What a terrific week of matchups we were blessed with. Saints vs. Rams, Packers vs. Patriots, Steelers vs. Ravens, Baker vs. Mahomes. Tom Brady and the Patriots scored more points Sunday than the other three teams in the AFC East combined, 31-28. Pat Mahomes has 29 touchdowns through his team’s first nine games!? There is no longer an undefeated team remaining in the league. Thielen’s streak of 100-yard receiving games has ended at eight. Le’Veon Bell tweeted out “Farewell Miami👋🏾.” Will he be returning this week? Let’s jump into the Week 10 NFL power rankings. Teams 32-11 32.) Oakland…

As we roll into Week 9, there was a shake-up in the latest top-10 this week in the power rankings. Houston found their way in, and it was reported they are closing in on a deal for wide receiver, Demaryius Thomas. It appears to be Courtland Sutton time in Denver. The Raiders continued their losing ways and Hue Jackson was finally fired. Jackson won only three games his entire tenure as the Browns head coach. Gregg Williams was named interim head coach of the Browns. The Rams narrowly escaped a victory over the Packers to remain the only unbeaten team,…

As the leaves start to fall, we are officially onto week 8 of the NFL season. Where has the time gone?! This season is flying by. The Rams continued their dominance and remain the only unbeaten team in the NFL. The Raiders shipped Amari Cooper to the Cowboys for a first round pick. Justin Tucker, who was perfect through his seven year career on PAT, missed an XP!? It was a weird week in the NFL. Bell has still not reported to the Steelers, and I’m not sure if anyone has a clue when he will. It was reported by…

The Phoenix Suns have had four straight losing seasons and no playoff berth since 2010. Last year’s 21-61 record was the worst in the NBA and second-worst in franchise history. Only nine days before the NBA season’s opening tip-off, the Suns made the decision to fire their General Manager, Ryan McDonough. James Jones and Trevor Bukstein will share the general manager duties on an interim basis. Jones is the team’s vice president of basketball operations and Bukstein was the assistant GM under McDonough. During the offseason, Phoenix sent Brandon Knight and Marquese Chriss to the Rockets for Ryan Anderson and…

The Rams sit atop the NFL as the only team that remains unbeaten. The Chiefs went into Foxborough and the Pats sent them home with their first loss of the season. Only Sam Darnold, of the starting rookie quarterbacks, came out with a victory this week. Josh Allen suffered an injury that could keep him out an extended period of time. Todd Gurley had a career day, gashing the Broncos for over 200 yards on the ground. The Falcons sit at 2-4, but Matt Ryan is quietly having a great season. The Cowboys made the Jags defense look average this…

For the first time since 1990, every team has at least one win through week 5. Only 12 of the 32 teams have a record over .500. It has been a really odd start to the NFL season, to say the least. The Browns have more wins than the Falcons, who were picked as Super Bowl favorites by some. All of the rookie quarterbacks that were selected in the first round and starting won this week. Josh Allen passed for only 82 yards, yet the Bills somehow beat the Titans. Drew Brees also became the NFL all-time passing leader, to…

We are officially a quarter of the way through the NFL season. Only two teams remain unbeaten and just one has yet to win a game. Rosen and Baker both started week 4, but came up empty in the win column. Gruden and the Raiders got their first win of the season, with a little bit of help from the refs. Brady and the Pats laid the “end of a dynasty” chatter to rest, as they dominated the Dolphins. Le’Veon Bell is rumored to be reporting week 7 and the Vikings defense is allowing 27.5 points per game?! Let’s jump…

The week 3 slate of games was quite a shocking one. The Vikings fell to the Buffalo Bills, Matt Ryan posted the highest passer rating of NFL history in a loss, and the Patriots are 1-2 on the season. While there are only three undefeated teams remaining in the league, the Miami Dolphins are surprisingly one of them. Fitzpatrick’s magic ran out, and now Jameis Winston is back in the building. Fitz is the first quarterback in NFL history to put up 400 yards in three consecutive games. The Raiders have three sacks on the season, while Khalil Mack has…
