When you go out there and throttle one of the best offenses in the league in the middle of a high-scoring era like this one, you deserve to be t...
The Miami Miracle Was 12 Years In The Making
The Miami Miracle was, like any even-half-decent football play, lovingly swiped.

Buzzkill Cowboys Get In The Way Of Eagles' Group Touchdown Celebration
In a game that will likely be used to begin sleep studies for decades to come, the Eagles waited until the second half to score their first points of the day.

Derrick Henry Went Old School And Embarrassed The Jaguars
Derrick Henry did much, much more last night against the Jaguars than run 99 yards, impale All-Pro corner A.J. Bouye with a halberd of a stiff arm, shrug Leon Jacobs off like a bathrobe, and then gas half the Jags’ defense, but since he did all that and more on his way to the NFL’s second-ever 99-ya...
