Raiders Tackle Trent Brown Accused Of Domestic Violence In Lawsuit
A new lawsuit filed in California civil court accuses Raiders tackle Trent Brown of multiple acts of domestic violence....
It's The Beginning Of The End For Marcus Mariota In Tennessee
After all the angst over Jameis Winston vs. Marcus Mariota at the top of the 2015 draft, the answer may well turn out to be: neither of them. (Or, possibly: Sean Mannion.) Winston is still doing his thing, alternating brief stretches of competence with mindbending turnovers, while Mariota offers mor...
Jalen Ramsey Gets His Wish, Is Traded To The Rams
About a month after his trade request, and after three weeks of not suiting up for the Jaguars, cornerback Jalen Ramsey has been traded out of Jacksonville and sent to Los Angeles. Though not that long ago it looked like the Jaguars were going to ignore Ramsey’s wishes, he’ll go play for a .500 Rams...
A Pair Of Phantom Penalties Cost The Lions A Win In Green Bay
Sure, the Lions could have scored some more touchdowns Monday night. Their offense started hot, with a neat flea-flicker for a 66-yard gain on the first drive, and a 58-yard Matthew Stafford bomb to wideout Marvin Hall on the second. For all the opportunities in the red zone, they couldn’t get the ...
Zach Brown Talks Shit About Kirk Cousins, Loses To Vikings, Then Loses His Job
The Eagles released linebacker Zach Brown Monday, a day after their defense was shredded by Kirk Cousins and a Vikings offense that until very recently resembled a headless chicken. The shit-canning is all the more embarrassing for Brown for coming after he ran his mouth about Cousins, and then join...
There's No Good Reason For The Los Angeles Chargers To Exist
That photo right there, of Steelers running back James Conner celebrating a touchdown as teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster breaks it down, wasn’t taken anywhere near Pittsburgh. It’s tough to tell at first because of the sea of black and yellow in the background. But then the powder blue banner and the s...
Patrick Mahomes's First Pick Of The Season Happened After A Bizarre, Sketchy Officiating Decision
With the Kansas City Chiefs leading the Texans by a touchdown in the second quarter of Sunday’s game, quarterback Patrick Mahomes drove his team to the edge of the red zone, only to throw it to Houston safety Tashaun Gipson in the end zone. However, officials flagged cornerback Lonnie Johnson Jr. fo...
The Dolphins Are The Worst Of The Worst
One hurdle lying on its side, rusted and shattered, 11 more left....
Russell Wilson Doesn't Need A Damn Headset
Russell Wilson was great against the Browns on Sunday, completing 23 of his 33 pass attempts for 295 and two touchdowns. He’s thrown for 14 touchdowns and zero interceptions this year while completing 72 percent of his passes, and is at the moment leading the MVP race. If this is to be the year when...
Jason Garrett's In Trouble Again
The Cowboys looked like world-beaters when they started 3-0—but against three of the worst teams in the league, the Giants, Washington, and Miami. Dallas then looked lost in two straight losses—but to good teams, New Orleans and Green Bay. So far, so predictable, at least for a middling team, which ...
Matt Bryant, You Poor Bastard
Even with their god-awful defense making Kliff Kingsbury look like the genius everyone used to pretend he was, the Falcons still found a way to build enough momentum to make it seem like a late victory over the Cardinals was possible—scoring 17 unanswered points to tie things up tends to have that e...
Lamar Jackson Etches His Name In History Alongside The Great Tobin Rote
As purveyors of the Gospel of Lamar Jackson, it is our solemn duty to inform the public whenever the Ravens quarterback elevates himself onto another level of football history. In a 23-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday, the lad did just that by becoming only the fourth-ever quarterback to rush for a...
Dolphins Win Barf Bowl, Lose To Washington In Final Seconds
So far this season the Miami Dolphins had looked unstoppable on their way to a No. 1 draft pick and Tua Tagovailoa. But their tank rumbled over a potential minefield on Sunday: a matchup with Washington, one of a small handful of teams that might be nearly as bad as the Dolphins, and the only team t...
Don't You Dare Try To Take Adrian Peterson's Touches Away From Him
For all the turmoil there’s been around the Washington football team, it was nice to see a brief moment of firm communication between two teammates in Miami on Sunday. On a second-and-5 from his team’s 35-yard line, quarterback Case Keenum tried to switch the play to something else, yelling “kill ki...
Mark Andrews Tries To Hurdle Defender, Immediately Wishes He Hadn't
Ravens tight ends love trying to hurdle defenders. Love it! They can’t get enough of it. And how could they, when it looks so damn cool when it works? But it doesn’t always, or even usually, work....
Odell Beckham Jr. Is Back To Making Incredible Catches Again
It had been a while since Odell Beckham Jr. had made a highlight reel for something other than getting choked out on the field, or giving up a bad fumble on a punt return. But against the Seahawks on Sunday he gave the ol’ make-an-incredible-catch approach a try....
The Eagles Should Try Covering Stefon Diggs
It’s still just midway through the second quarter, and Stefon Diggs has caught four of five targets for 135 yards and two touchdowns. That includes a pair of bombs that the Eagles secondary made look much easier than an NFL defense ought to....
The Turnover King Has Returned
Jameis Winston is back, folks. After four straight games of relatively competent quarterbacking, Winston displayed a strong return to form in London against the Panthers on Sunday. He finished the game completing 30 of his 54 throws and 400 yards, but with five interceptions and a fumble....

The Panthers Tried An Ultra-Rare Fair Catch Kick
The Panthers and Buccaneers are playing in London today, which makes it the perfect time to confuse everybody with an extremely obscure NFL rule that even most American fans don’t really understand: the fair catch kick!...
