Odell Beckham's Catch Was Absolutely Ridiculous, Again

Reports: Rob Gronkowski Is "Going To Be OK"
Like some sort of reverse Christmas morning, where the presents are torn ligaments and the tinsel is an early playoff exit (I’m still working on the analogy), Patriots fans had to be dreading waking up to details on Rob Gronkowski’s scary-looking knee injury, which caused the star TE to be carted of...

J.J. Watt And The Texans Are On Fire

Someone Please Teach Blake Bortles The Rules Of Football

Eli Manning Throws A Pair Of Tip-Drill Interceptions In Rapid Succession

Schrödinger's Football: Today's Guide To Ignoring The NFL
As pointed out Tuesday, the NFL is having a terrible time with officiating this season. Or, anyway, the NFL seems to be having a terrible time with officiating this season.
