Matt Barkley's Interception Was A Perfectly Bills Way To Lose

The question surrounding the end of Patriots-Bills wasn’t so much a matter of how Buffalo was going to use its final drive to complete the shocking upset at home, but rather how spectacularly the team would fuck things up.

Saquon Barkley Knocked Out Of Game With Ankle Injury (Update)

The Giants didn’t have a hot start against the Bucs in Daniel Jones’s debut, going down 28-10 at halftime thanks in part to three touchdown catches from Tampa Bay wideout Mike Evans.

Saquon Barkley Is So Good And It Just Doesn't Matter

The Giants are the worst sort of bad team: one whose braintrust clearly believed was a contender for a playoff spot in the offseason, only to be revealed as a total moribund disaster once the regular season began.
