The Cleveland Browns have had to turn to Jameis Winston to be their starter the last three weeks. During that stretch, Cleveland has gone 1-2. Many Browns fans came into this year with more questions than hopes for the season. Primarily surrounding quarterback Deshaun Watson, and whether or not he could get back to even closely resembling the quarterback he was in Houston. After repeated depressing performances from Watson and the Brown offense, fans began calling for Winston to start or even third stringer Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Anyone but Watson. Eventually, they would get their wish, Watson would go down with…

Week 12 of the NFL schedule is about to kick off and this season has shown that anyone can be beat any given Sunday. As we approach the final seven games of the NFL season the playoff picture is becoming clearer, but the upsets are still likely to shake things up a bit. Very few teams have shown they can be dominant completely down the stretch. The Kansas City Chiefs are no longer undefeated, the Detroit Lions had one of their worst games two weeks ago against the Texans. No team is simply unbeatable, and this week will prove just…
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are fresh coming out of their much-needed bye week. Over the last two weeks, the one thing the Bucs needed to happen did happen. The Atlanta Falcons lost both games and didn’t lengthen their lead over Tampa in the NFC South standings. Now, the Bucs season is very much in their hands whether they make the playoffs or not. Coming out of the bye with the record of 4-6, they haven’t left themselves much room for error. Fortunately, starters Mike Evans and Jamel Dean are expected back. Tampa also made the additional of safety Mike Edwards…
The New York Jets have been one of the worst teams in the 2024 season. After coming into the year with lofty expectations of a Super Bowl or at the very least making a playoff run, they have underperformed since week one. Future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers hasn’t looked himself at all, resembling nothing of what made him so great in Green Bay. Since the season began Owner Woody Johnson has fired both Head Coach Robert Saleh and now General Manager Joe Douglas. Despite bolstering one of the NFL’s top rosters, New York just can’t seem to get…
The Kansas City Chiefs suffered their first loss of the season on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Kansas City went into Buffalo with a perfect 9-0 record, and this looked to be one of the last teams on their schedule that could change that. The Bills defense set the tone early picking off Patrick Mahomes the second play from scrimmage. Just a few plays later and James Cook was running in for a Buffalo touchdown, his first of two on the day. The Kansas City offense hasn’t been what we are accustomed to seeing this season. Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes…
The Dallas Cowboys have all been eliminated from playoff contention this season. Yes, they are still mathematically alive for a wild card spot but for how many weeks? Dallas fans shouldn’t be expecting any turnaround coming with Cooper Rush or Trey Lance under center. With starting quarterback Dak Prescott out for the remainder of the season, lame duck Head Coach Mike McCarthy is left giving puzzled looks on the sideline as to why his team continues to get blown out and utterly dominated. The Cowboys have had consistent success under McCarthy, going to the playoffs every single year. That’s become…
The Pittsburgh Steelers renewed their bitter rivalry with the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. In what has historically been one of the hardest hitting games of the year between two teams, it didn’t fail to live up to that hype. In this defensive battle, Pittsburgh defense led by superstar TJ Watt would stifle the Ravens offense making one of the most dominant units in the NFL look pedestrian. However, Baltimore would return the favor preventing Pittsburgh from scoring a single touchdown the entire game. The black and gold had to rely on six Chris Boswell field goals to win this one.…
The Denver Broncos may have found their next franchise quarterback in Bo Nix. The former Oregon Duck signal caller has been increasingly impressive, making noticeable strides week to week. Nobody thought Denver would be competing at such a high level this year, some NFL analysts even put the Raiders ahead of them in their pre-season rankings. What they didn’t count on was rookie sensation, Bo Nix. Coming off a heartbreaking loss against the Chiefs last week, many were wondering if the Broncos would be able to rebound against a tough Atlanta Falcons team. They did more than just rebound; Denver…
The Cincinnati Bengals came into the 2024 with such hope of returning to the playoffs and battling it out for a chance to return to the Super Bowl. Head Coach Zac Taylor has watched his team lose in one score games time and time again this season. Cincinnati traveled to Los Angeles to take on the surging Chargers in prime time. Sunday Night Football was supposed to be a showcase of two quarterbacks drafted in the same draft class in Bengals Joe Burrow and the Chargers Justin Herbert. Cincinnati would find themselves in an all too familiar place on Sunday…
The LSU Tigers seem to be coming apart at the seams. Head Coach Brian Kelly led the Bayou Bengals into Gainsville to face off with SEC foe Florida Gators yesterday. This was a must win game for the Tigers, still reeling from back-to-back losses coming at the hands of Texas A&M and Alabama. There is a pattern here, each loss continually looks uglier and sloppier than the last. Some fans even took to social media saying how hard it is to watch the Tigers play in their current state. The game against Florida was supposed to be a get-right game…
