It’s time to check in on the teams that can’t get out of their own way.

Now let’s get into the Powerless Rankings for Week 14....

The New England Patriots won, but their problems remain the same

It’s easy to laugh when your team is up by two touchdowns. Jokes and giggles are plentiful when the Colt McCoy-led Arizona Cardinals — Kyler Murray left the game after suffering a non-contact injury — turn the ball over on consecutive possessions, the first of which was converted for a touchdown....

Is it time to say hello to the Kraken?

It was wholly unfair to the Seattle Kraken that they had to be the expansion team to follow the Vegas Golden Knights.

So that’s why Gio Reyna didn’t play

Perhaps it’s a sign that the USMNT is moving into the big time that they hold their big controversies until after the tournament than before. We’ve been through Jürgen Klinsmann keeping Landon Donovan at home in 2014 simply to show everyone what a brain genius he was. Or John Harkes way back when. T...

Jared Goff is playing well— the Lions still need to pick a quarterback

The Detroit Lions are currently 5-7 — two games away from a wild card spot.

Jets fans are right to think the world is against them, says new study

The New York Jets are a poverty franchise. They haven’t been to the playoffs since 2010. I don’t care what the outlook for the team is, until they win a playoff game, my stance on the matter isn’t changing. There’s reason to be optimistic given Robert Saleh’s solid start as head coach, Breece Hall’s...

Two-time All-Star Trea Turner will be a Philadelphia Phillie for the next 11 years. He will be 30 in 2023, meaning the deal will end when Turner turns 40.
