The Detroit Lions demolished the Dallas Cowboys in a 47-9 beatdown on a day when Jerry Jones envisioned a celebration. Jared Goff and an explosive offense spoiled Jones’ 82nd birthday Thursday in front of a dismayed home crowd at AT&T Stadium. From the get-go it was obvious the Lions came prepared to blow people away. The Lions’ ground game nearly racked up 200 rushing yards behind an efficient Goff, who sliced through the Cowboys‘ defense, throwing for more than 300 yards and three touchdowns. It’s just that they gave no answers on either side of the ball. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY0WEJAMuUA Jerry Jones’…

By locking in arguably their most reliable offensive weapon, the Detroit Lions are extending David Montgomery’s contract for two more years.

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix isn’t just winning most of his teammates over on the field, he’s doing the same off it. After winning 34-18 over the Raiders, head coach Sean Payton keyed in on the similarity between Bo Nix and the Ferris Bueller character, who similarly has a lighthearted laid-back ease about him. It sparked a social media response that we all needed this week.  After a brief sideline exchange with Nix during the game, Payton’s comments followed. Payton described Nix as ‘quirky’ comparing him to the free-spirited high school student Bueller played by Matthew Broderick in the…

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert’s wife, Devon Mostert, became a notable internet star last week for her criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris in an Instagram post. The heated post took place after a spat between Harris and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over the handling of Hurricane Helene. Harris began the controversy after she said DeSantis didn’t return her calls after the hurricane made landfall. Mostert echoed DeSantis when he fired back, accusing Harris of playing political games during a crisis. Mostert then shared a clip of President Joe Biden praising DeSantis’ response to a hurricane, directly contrary to…

Bo Nix reflects on his special bond with fellow Oregon alum, Justin Herbert. Now the Denver Broncos starting quarterback, Bo Nix was Auburn’s quarterback on the day he led the Tigers to win over Justin Herbert’s Oregon Ducks in the 2019 college football season. That was Nix’s freshman year, a game that put him on the national radar. Finally, it came down to a game-winning drive — one that Nix orchestrated, a touchdown pass with nine seconds left. “It was a great head-to-head battle,” Nix said, recalling that memorable showdown. “They had a really good football team, and Justin played…

Even when there’s good being done, there’s controversy. Annah Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s wife, recently found herself caught in a social media crossfire after posting a pro-Trump social media post. The controversy started when Annah posted to her Instagram stories a message from conservative influencer Benny Johnson that praised former President Donald Trump for pitching in to help Florida linemen by providing free accommodations at Trump National Doral before Hurricane Milton. https://twitter.com/NFL_DovKleiman/status/1844079592119861397 Annah’s Instagram story sparked backlash for seemingly praising Trump for his efforts after the hurricane. Some promptly criticized her for supporting Trump, and a few showed…

Geno Smith has been surprisingly successful in many different areas as the Seattle Seahawks’ starting quarterback. He’s taken his team to the playoffs, made it two Pro Bowls, and even claimed NFL Comeback Player of the Year. But one annoying hurdle escapes him—beating the San Francisco 49ers. Seattle’s starter has yet to engineer a win against the 49ers. Geno Smith has lost five straight to the Seahawks’ divisional rival, four of those games coming while he started. He’s attempted 72 percent of his passes in those contests and thrown for over 800 yards, but has battled to get past San…

The Arizona Cardinals’ quarterback Kyler Murray had yet another big week, with a comeback win over the San Francisco 49ers. Then in a social media post on Monday, Murray revealed he’s linked up with Call of Duty before the hugely popular Black Ops 6 release later this month. It’s also significant news for Murray, who’s long been associated with video games, most specifically Call of Duty. For years, critics have trashed him for his computer game obsession, with analysts and trolls wondering about his commitment to football because his obsession is cutting into his game planning. Kyler Murray even drew…

During Houston Texans’ Week 5 win over the Buffalo Bills, wide receiver Nico Collins went down with a hamstring injury. Fans and coaches were left wondering how long the wideout would be gone. Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans, who initially listed Collins as “day-to-day”, updated his status Friday to “week to week”, saying hamstring injuries can often be a slow process. https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1843375000679776584 Collins has been a cornerstone of the offense and leads the NFL with 567 yards through five games. He will be sorely missed in the passing game for the next few weeks. While no one player can…

As the Kansas City Chiefs come to terms with the potential season-ending knee injury to Rashee Rice, the focus turns toward if the team has enough offensive juice to carry Patrick Mahomes. With Rice sidelined, and the Chiefs already missing key offensive pieces like Hollywood Brown and Isiah Pacheco, the big question is: who will step up? Top receiver, Rashee Rice, led the NFL in reception after Week 3. His presence on the field was huge and now his absence will be even bigger. Tight End Travis Kelce was able to step up last week against the Chargers with seven…
