In 2013, just 13 running backs topped 1,000 yards in the NFL. Top tier running backs have always demanded big money for their performances. With so little separating the best in the league from the rest of the pack, should teams be investing big money in running backs? Maurice Jones-Drew will be walking away from […]

The Houston Texans, under new head coach Bill O’Brien, will be moving forward into the 2014 season without an offensive coordinator. It’s not uncommon for head coaches to call plays on one side of the ball, but even in those cases, coordinators are usually named to help alleviate some of the day-to-day game planning a […]

Since Ryan Grigson, Chuck Pagano and Andrew Luck came onto the scene as the Indianapolis Colts’ new regime, returns have been borderline miraculous. After finishing the 2011 season with a lowly 2-14 mark, the Colts bounced back with two 11-5 campaigns and two playoff berths. By all outward appearances, the Colts are not only at […]

At just 25-years of age and with a Super Bowl championship already under his belt after just two seasons in the NFL, Russell Wilson is already setting himself up for a run at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. There’s still a mountain of work to be done on his end before we can actually […]

Unlike the Baltimore Ravens of a year ago, the Seattle Seahawks will be the favorite to win next year’s Super Bowl, defending their current crown. That prediction isn’t unwarranted either. With a young roster that has seemingly yet to peak, it’ll be tough for anyone to knock off the current NFL champions. Still, the Seahawks […]

No one was completely stunned to see the Seahawks defeat the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. After all, the Broncos were just a slight favorite heading into the game. It was the way in which Seattle ran the table in all phases of the game that baffled so many in a 43-8 route. With such […]

Aside from a solid halftime show by Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers and a few pretty comical commercials, there wasn’t much to see in Super Bowl XLVIII. The game started off with the Broncos absorbing a safety at their own hands, and the game never got any better for Denver and the […]

Playoff expansion talks will start in earnest this offseason, but commissioner Roger Goodell isn’t waiting to throw his two cents into the discussion. "We think we can make the league more competitive, we think we can make the matchups more competitive towards the end of the season," Goodell said at the Super Bowl XLVIII news […]

Trash talk. It’s as much a part of the NFL as the pregame coin flip or the placekick. Every year, we hear players throwing out nonsense that can be used as “bulletin board material.” There’s no doubt that trash talk leading up to a big game adds to the excitement of the event, but does […]

The blizzard that was all but guaranteed when the NFL announced MetLife Stadium would be hosting Super Bowl XLVIII seems to be a figment of our imaginations. Instead, The National Weather Service is calling for Sunday’s high to be in the mid-40s, and the Sunday night low is 27 degrees. In other words, fine football […]

With so much talk revolving around Peyton Manning and the Broncos offense as well as Richard Sherman and the Seahawks’ defense, you’d be forgiven for forgetting that there are two other units that will play a huge part in Sunday’s Super Bowl. The Broncos feature a defense that’s stout up front but tends to allow […]

With the Super Bowl less than a week away, much of our attention is turning towards the weather. That’s a departure from our normal Super Bowl week rituals, but with the big game at MetLife Stadium in New York City, there’s been very legitimate concern about cold-weather taking away from the Super Bowl experience. It […]

Sunday night’s NFL game was a slugfest at times. Quarterbacks were hit without mercy, and in the end, the game came down to a gutsy decision to go for a two-point conversion and the win. Had the players not been wearing helmets from around the league, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was a regular […]

Without a playoff berth in a season seemingly tailor-made for the Lions, it was evident changes were coming to Detroit. The biggest changes, obviously, was the dismissal of head coach Jim Schwartz after five seasons with the team that netted just one postseason appearance and no playoff victories. Schwartz was highly criticized for his team’s […]
