Steelers still in position to make the playoffs

The Steelers have had it rough the last couple of weeks, dropping two straight while the Cincinnati Bengals have closed the gap in the wildcard race.

The time has come to cut Andy Reid loose

The Philadelphia Eagles dropped their seventh straight game last night to the Carolina Panthers in embarrassing fashion. Late in the game, the Panthers had the ball with an eight point lead.

Chris Palmer out as Titans’ offensive coordinator

The Tennessee Titans have had a disappointing 2012 campaign, and the team is beginning to make changes, seemingly in a last gasp by the coaching staff to save their jobs.

FIVE & FIVE: THE BIGGEST SURPRISES/DISAPPOINTMENTS FROM SUNDAY

We wrap up the 12th Sunday of the NFL season by looking at a handful of players who exceeded expectations and a handful who failed to deliver.

Sunday’s games keep playoff picture as foggy as ever

It wasn't long ago that the playoff picture looked relatively clear cut, especially on the AFC side of the bracket, but that's the beauty and curse of following NFL football. Sunday gave an opportunity for some teams to tidy up the brackets, but they're now looking as unpredictable as ever. On the AFC side, the […]

Browns stun Steelers; Bengals back in business

It's always tough to absorb an injury to a star quarterback. It's even tougher when the backup quarterback goes down. It was a task the Steelers were charged with managing, and they weren't quite up to the challenge, losing to the Cleveland Browns 20 to 14 in Cleveland. The Browns were able to do exactly […]

Jay Cutler to play; gives Bears the edge

Cleveland Browns a real threat to the Steelers

Just a couple short weeks ago, the thought that the Cleveland Browns could uproot the Pittsburgh Steelers on any given day would have been ludicrous.

Pick of the week: Ravens (-1) at Chargers

  Are the Ravens the league's most underrated team? It sure seems that way. After a rash of injuries knocked out a pair of starters on the defensive side of the ball, Baltimore was left for dead.  So while everyone turned away, Flacco and the still stout defensive unit have put together a quietly elite […]

Texans defense continues to struggle in overtime win

For the second time in five days, the Texans' defense underperformed against a less-than-quality opponent, and for the second time, their offense bailed them out. The Texans gave up 31 points to a Lions unit that has been hit or miss for much of the 2012 season. It took a late touchdown and a considerable […]

Backup quarterbacks are useful in evaluating young guns

This weekend, the Houston Texans nearly dropped a game to one of the worst teams in the NFL. It was an offensive shootout with little defense to speak of from either team, and the Texans emerged from overtime with the victory.
