The Broncos' Defense Is Still Scary Good
There was a moment yesterday when it looked like Jameis Winston and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense might be ready to give the Denver Broncos a game. After throwing a pick to Aqib Talib on the opening drive that set the Broncos up with an early 7-0 lead, Winston and the Bucs responded with a 13-pla...
The Browns Lost A Phantom Fumble
The frustrating thing about these Browns is that they’re almost not bad.

Shooting A Bow And Arrow Will Cost You 15 Yards
With Washington up 24-20 over the Cleveland Browns in the fourth quarter, Josh Norman intercepted Cody Kessler and proceeded to mime shooting a bow and arrow. Unsportsmanlike conduct, 15-yard penalty, wash, rinse, repeat, we’ve seen this. But the official call has a curious lack of “pretending to” o...
Cam Newton Earns Taunting Penalty
Cam Newton will have to keep his nose clean for the rest of today’s game against the Falcons after earning a first-quarter taunting penalty. NFL rules call for a player to be ejected after his second unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, and there’s still 55 minutes of football to get through. ...

Woof, Ryan Tannehill
I will come clean and admit that there was a time, not even two years ago, when I thought Ryan Tannehill was going to be a very good NFL quarterback. I have submitted my resignation to Tim Marchman, and will step down as a sports writer-abouter if it’s accepted....

A.J. Green Will Catch Anything You Throw At Him
For a good chunk of tonight’s game against the Miami Dolphins, Bengals star A.J. Green had more receiving yards than the Dolphins had total yards. Were it not for a flukey touchdown on Miami’s first possession of the game, his 173 receiving yards would have outpaced them. Green has made the Pro Bowl...
