Jaguars Kicker Jason Myers Loves Missing Field Goals: "It's Fucking Awesome"<em></em>

With 1:12 left in the game and on second down, Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone attempted a field goal.

Apparently DeShone Kizer Just Needed One Week Off

When Browns head coach Hue Jackson announced that he was benching rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer last week, it seemed like he had a decent plan in mind.

Jay Cutler Is Alive And Demoralizing Atlanta

Despite eking out a win against Tennessee last weekend, Jay Cutler looked like he had hit rock bottom.

James McClean Ruins Wales And Keeps Irish World Cup Hopes Alive

The stage could not have been more perfectly set in the final stretch of European World Cup Qualifying, with a rivalry match in Cardiff between Ireland and the Gareth Bale-less Wales squad turning into a loser-goes-home affair.

Leonard Fournette Wasn't Afraid Of The Steelers

Jags rookie running back Leonard Fournette finished yesterday’s win against the Steelers with 181 rushing yards on 28 carries.
