Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has publicly stated his desire to keep his politics to himself, but his wife, Brittany, has been vocal about her support toward Donald Trump with the November election inching closer. If you’re expecting Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes to speak out ahead of the 2024 presidential election and endorse a particular candidate, you’re going to be waiting for a while. Mahomes has made it clear where he stands politically – and he’s neutral. That’s not to say that Mahomes doesn’t have his own opinions – hopefully, he’ll be voting at the polls like everyone else…

The Saints offense — led by Derek Carr — who struggled to find consistency in his…

The Kansas City Chiefs look like they have the team to make a run at three-straight Super Bowls, a feat that has never been accomplished in the modern NFL. But while the team seemed focused and looked like one of the top squads in the league in their opening win over the Baltimore Ravens, their players continue to make headlines off the field. One would assume this would cause unnecessary distractions, but the Chiefs clearly handle it well. The biggest storyline has been the relationship between star tight end and global pop superstar Taylor Swift. Kelce admitted he was dating…

The Miami Dolphins made QB Tua Tagovailoa one of the highest paid quarterbacks in the NFL in late  July, reaching a 4-year extension worth $212.4 million. And as the Dolphins attempted to put a drive together to cut into the Buffalo Bills 31-10 lead, the Miami QB took off as a runner to pick up a fourth down conversion in the red zone, diving head first to make sure he got the first down. And suddenly the entire energy was sucked out of Hard Rock Stadium, when Tagovailoa’s head collided violently with Bills’ safety Damar Hamlin. For any other QB,…

Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs already look like the top team in the NFL once again, cruising to a 27-20 win over a talented Ravens team in Week 1 of the NFL season.

The Las Vegas Raiders didn’t have a great day on the field in their season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers, falling 23-10 on the road in their conference clash to start the 2024 campaign. Turnovers ended up being the biggest difference for the Raiders, who lost two fumbles and threw an interception against the Chargers, who are looking to take a massive step forward this season under new head coach Jim Harbaugh. The longtime rivals were reminded of the animosity between the two squads, when late in the fourth quarter, the teams came to massive blows following the Chargers scoring…

The New York Giants decided to roll with Daniel Jones for the 2024 season instead of selecting another QB with the 6th overall pick of the NFL Draft, despite multiple talent evaluators stating publicly this year could be one of the best classes of signal callers in more than a decade. Instead, the Giants opted to select LSU star WR Malik Nabers — and the rookie WR has all the tools and a rare skillset — but as of now, he doesn’t have a capable QB of getting him the ball. In Sunday’s home opener against the Minnesota Vikings, Jones…
