The Dallas Cowboys are crumbling before America’s eyes and just about everyone not named Jerry Jones saw it coming before the 2024 season. In an offseason where he publicly stated where Jones said he was “all-in” for this season — yet added almost no new talent to the Cowboys roster despite the team losing starters on both sides of the ball and key role players from the 2023 squad — it was easy to predict the inevitable. For the entirety of the offseason, the narratives surrounding the team were focused on the future of the team’s two biggest stars, WR…

The Detroit Lions are the most dominant team in the NFC right now. With the second half of the 2024 NFL season underway, Dan Campbell’s team looks nearly unstoppable, thriving on offense while playing a hard-nosed, stifling brand of defense. On offense, Jared Goff is playing the best football of his NFL career and has an arsenal of weapons at his disposal. Despite a tough performance last week against the Texans where Goff threw five interceptions, the Lions currently have the second-highest scoring offense in the NFL, averaging 31.6 points per game for the season. Goff currently has thrown for…

With the current price of a high-caliber starting QB hovering around $60 million a year since Dak Prescott’s deal got completed in the opening week of the season, it’s…

The Baltimore Ravens appear to be a legitimate Super Bowl contender yet again — and with the NFL season reaching near the midpoint — it appears like the Chiefs will be the main team in their way of reaching the Super Bowl like so many seasons in recent history. The Ravens are coming off a dominating performance against a solid Tampa Bay team that included more than 500 yards of total offense from Baltimore and a near-perfect outing from QB Lamar Jackson. The reigning NFL MVP finished the 41-31 victory 17-of-22 for 281 yards and five touchdowns. But while the…

The Pittsburgh Steelers decided to make an unpopular change at QB ahead of Sunday night’s home matchup against the New York Jets, and it appears that Mike Tomlin made the right decision. Despite Justin Fields leading the Steelers to a (4-2) start and the former Bears’ signal caller was playing the best football of his NFL career, Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin opted to to start Russell Wilson for the first time since he joined the team this offseason. Wilson had been nursing an injury and Fields had the opportunity to lead the Pittsburgh Steelers as starting QB for he…

Ultimately, everything changed in 2019 as Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs to hoist their first Lombardi Trophy in nearly five decades — and since then — Kansas City has emerged as the most dominant team in the NFL. The Chiefs made it back to the Super Bowl in 2020 but fell to Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. The following season, they fell to…
