Every week, plenty of bad beats happen across all the NFL games. Some weeks are more heartbreaking than others, and this one had its fair share of heartbreaks. Today we’re going over the worst NFL week 5 bad beats. Cade York kicks bettor’s hopes and dreams down the gutter This list would not be a proper week 5 bad beats list if we did not first include possibly the worst bad beat from all of week 5. The Browns hosted the Chargers for their week 5 battle, and Los Angeles was favored by -1.5. The final score ended up being…

We are five weeks into the 2022 NFL season, and teams are finally starting to form a true identity. We can already see that teams such as the Eagles, Bills, and Chiefs are extremely good this year, and we know that the Panthers and Commanders aren’t so good. However, there is one team in the NFL that has been the greatest team in the entirety of the league this season. It’s not the Bills, not the Vikings, and certainly not the Cooper Rush-led Cowboys. The best football team you didn’t realize was good is the… Atlanta Falcons. Well, at least…

To say that the Commanders’ first four games of the season haven’t been pretty is an understatement, and fans are already asking “can the Commanders turn their season around?” The Commanders are 1-3 through the first four games of this still early season, and it has been nothing short of disappointing and depressing. The only way the start to the season could have been worse was if Washington lost to the Jaguars in week 1, however they are a dropped touchdown by Travis Etienne away from being 0-4 and the single worst team in the NFL. Before we dive into…

Alright, let’s be honest: We’ve all made some bad trades in fantasy football before. It’s easy to do, especially if you trade early in the season. Fantasy Football is the perfect example of how football can be so inexplicably wild and wacky. We all draft our teams at the beginning of the season with the confidence that we have the best team in our whole league, and sometimes that does turn out to be true. However, most of us are yet again setting here, three weeks into the season, wondering where we went wrong or where we could have improved.…

After the 2009 college football season, Tim Tebow declared for the NFL draft, marking the end of a storied career at the University of Florida. Tebow led the Florida Gators to a national championship in 2008, won the Heisman Trophy in 2007, and captured the hearts of millions along the way. By the time Tebow left Florida, Tebow had set five NCAA statistical records, 14 SEC statistical records, and 28 UF statistical records. Many consider Tebow to be one of the greatest college football players ever, and some consider him to be the very best. Regardless of what you think…

NC State head coach Dave Doeren has confirmed in a recent press conference that running backs Jordan Houston and Demie Sumo-Karngbaye will suit up against the Clemson Tigers for Saturday’s battle. Houston sat out the game against UConn on September 24th to recover from an undisclosed injury suffered against Texas Tech on September 17th. Sumo-Karngbaye played only a few drives in the game against UConn and was reportedly just “a little sore” according to Doeren. Both running backs will be ready to go Clemson, which will no doubt be a big boost to this NC State offense. Stats The Jordan…

On January 1, 2020, Ron Rivera was hired as the head coach of the then Washington Football Team, now the Washington Commanders. Nicknamed Riverboat Ron for his aggressive and bold coaching decisions, it seemed as though a new era of football was just over the horizon for Washington. Rivera inherited a team that went just 3-13 the prior season and was a complete mess from top to bottom. The Jay Gruden era in Washington went down in flames, and Rivera had the job of building Washington back up from the ashes. There was plenty of reason to be excited for…

How did the Washington Commanders’ rookies perform this past week against the Philadelphia Eagles? We got grades for all of them! The Washington Commanders lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in a discouraging performance, and the rookies struggled. Let’s see how the Commanders’ rookies played in week 3. WR Jahan Dotson – D+ Jahan Dotson had his worst game as an NFL player so far against the Eagles on Sunday. The Eagles completely shut down Dotson, as Dotson only had two catches for 10 yards. The offense as a whole struggled, as evident by the fact that Dotson could only…

The NFL season is not even a quarter of the way over yet, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to do a mock draft! Some fans are already looking ahead to April, so here is my 1.0 2023 NFL Mock Draft. *Note: Draft order is determined by PFF’s NFL standings as of 09/26/2022, and the Miami Dolphins do not possess their own first-round draft pick as a result of the NFL’s discipline due to the actions of owner Stephen Ross 1. Falcons – QB Bryce Young, Alabama The Falcons are in full rebuild mode, and what better way to…

On October 15th, 2016, the NC State Wolfpack lined up for a 33-yard field goal attempt to knock off the at that time the number four ranked Clemson Tigers. Kicker Kyle Bambard had a chance to send NC State into college football immortality. Not in the aspect that they won a national championship or won a college football playoff game, but in the aspect that NC State, a school that had been defined by its inability to close out big games, could finally right their wrongs and dethrone the juggernaut of college football. Every fan in Death Valley that day…
