Running game still important in today’s NFL

The phrase "defense wins championships" used to be a common phrase in the closing weeks of an NFL season.

Bruce Arians calls out Cardinals offense

Bruce Arians is not happy with his offense, and he's letting everyone know about it. It's not often that you hear a head coach, much less a first year head coach, call out his own team as early as OTAs, but it seems Arians wants to give his team a kick in the rear. "We're […]

Eagles putting trust in young players

Is Brandon Weeden beginning to sweat quarterback competition?

The Browns have one of the worst quarterback situations in the NFL.
