Editor’s note: Each week, we’ll read between the lines and profile stories that got overlooked on the NFL’s “Overreaction Monday.” 1. Where did the running games go? While people have been saying that this is a passing league for years, it has never been more evident than it was in Week 1. Cam Newton, Chad […]

The first week of the NFL’s 2011 season was officially put in the books early this morning, and there was no shortage of shocks and surprises. Today, I want to highlight the teams that already find themselves in dire straights. Indianapolis Colts:The Colts were dominated by the Houston Texans in week 1. The Texans led […]

The NFL season is off to a great start. Here’s your weekly power rankings. Enjoy: Notes from Will Horton:  Biggest Faller: the Rams (-11). Their playmakers didn’t show up against Philly, and injuries have hit them hard. Have a lot to prove. Biggest riser: the Redskins (+10). I still can’t quite believe that they’re for […]

Oakland Raiders 23, Denver Broncos 20 Liked:The Raiders played an extremely physical game, and there’s nothing that I like more than a hard-hitting game of football.

Carolina vs. Arizona Cam Newton is the real deal. The rookie quarterback stepped onto the field in his first ever NFL regular season game and threw for 422 yards, a rookie single-game record. But unfortunately it was not enough to will the underdog Panthers to victory. The Cardinals came back with two touchdowns in the […]

We kicked off the NFL’s opening Sunday with a series of bangs and fizzles. That’s the way it goes, and I think we learned a lot about a lot of teams. Straight to the reaction. Pittsburgh 7, Baltimore 35 The Steelers posted 7 points on the board, and they also put up 7 turnovers. That […]

For those of you that love to know who other people are taking to win, this is for you. The coin flip is an idea I got from Paul Kuharsky of ESPN.com. If it was heads, the away team was picked, and if it was tails, the home team was picked. We’ll keep track of […]

As we often hear, the NFL is all about parity. Everyone has their playoff picks and who they think will be left out in the cold, but that rarely, if ever, actually comes to fruition. There are a number of teams that could continue the NFL’s ironic trend this season. Here are a few of […]

If you’re taking a double take of the headline for this story, you read it correctly the first time. The NFC North has emerged, in theory, as the best division in football. Last season, the Chicago Bears played the Green Bay Packers for the NFC championship; both teams are from the NFC North, and I […]

As most of you by now know, David Garrard has been cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars. The development was

We’ll be doing these every Tuesday from here on out. Here you go:
