Now, both Adams and Rodgers have uncertain futures in New York.

Patrick Mahomes is no stranger to lofty comparisons. Many have tabbed the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback as the football version of NBA legend Michael Jordan, and Mahomes welcomes that parallel with open arms. In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated’s Greg Bishop, Mahomes opened up about his desire to emulate Jordan’s legacy both on and off the field. “That’s the Hope” For Mahomes, being compared to Michael Jordan isn’t a compliment so much as a blueprint. “Obviously that’s the hope,” Mahomes said. “To be like Jordan, an impact on the game.” Much as Jordan changed the basketball game with his…

Riding high atop an 11-2 record with a nine-game winning streak, a franchise first, the questions regarding their passing game are as loud as ever for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson has shown flashes of promise this season, helping the Indianapolis Colts win two of their last three. However, as Richardson’s development continues, Colts general manager Chris Ballard looks back on some of the decisions involving their young quarterback, and he can’t help but have one major regret. He even went as far as to say in a recent interview with The Athletic’s Jim Trotter, “Looking back on it, I wish we hadn’t played him as a rookie.” Tough Start to 2023 Anthony Richardson, the Colts’ first-round pick, was selected fourth overall in the 2023 NFL Draft…

The Bengals, losers of another hard-laced game to the Pittsburgh Steelers 44-38 on Sunday, are reeling. Things have simply not gone right for this season’s preseason darlings, with their defense setting the pace. During a press conference Monday, wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase was bluntly honest regarding his thoughts about his team’s problems on defense- a brutally honest take that’s sparked plenty of conversation. “That’s Kind of Our Expectation Now” When asked if the Bengals’ recent defensive woes have made the offense feel like it must score on every drive to be competitive, Chase didn’t mince words. “That’s kind of our…

The play that sent Lawrence to the sidelines also earned Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair a suspension after he delivered a forceful blow to a sliding Trevor Lawrence.

For years, Justin Tucker has been synonymous with reliability and clutch performances. The Baltimore Ravens’ kicker is arguably the greatest to ever do it, with a legacy of game-winning moments and jaw-dropping accuracy. But this season has been different. Tucker, now 35, is struggling in a way that fans and analysts never expected. At 19-for-27 in field goals (70.4%) and 42-for-44 on extra points, Tucker’s numbers this season are a far cry from his career average. He recently lost his title as the most accurate kicker in NFL history, and to some, he is part of the reason the Ravens…

He exploded against Denver, setting a new Browns single-game passing record with 497 yards. It was the second-most passing yards…

The Steelers’ red-zone woes have been one of the hottest topics in football, and it appears as though everyone has a way to fix them. One of the wildest? Justin Fields potentially stepping in for Russell Wilson as the starter under center. That’s the buzz coming from CBS Sports reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala, who claimed, “it’s totally within the realm of possibility that Justin Fields” could take over under center for Pittsburgh at some point this season. But Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger has an entirely different take on how the team should use Fields—and it’s got nothing to do with him…
