Week 7 Rookie QB Rankings: Wilson goes down, Lawrence manages not to lose
We’re coming up on the halfway point of the NFL season, and rookie quarterbacks have been front and center and living up to the hype (Mac Jones), even when they get absolutely no help from their head coach or offensive line (Justin Fields). With that, let’s take a look at how our young wards fared i...

Hear me out: Relax… Melvin Gordon should <em>still</em> be a thing in Denver’s offense
The Denver Broncos got embarrassed last night. The Broncos — who started the season 3-0, might I remind you — lost to the Browns’ practice squad offense. Yeah, I know Cleveland’s defense is solid, but come on. Case Keenum? D’Ernest Johnson? Those guys beat you?...
Cam Newton’s odds of being signed are looking up now that he’s vaccinated

If the NFL is serious about games in Europe, Jerry Jones and the Cowboys need to make some trips across the pond
In 2014, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that he would like to see an NFL team in London. He said this while in London for the Cowboys’ one and only appearance at the NFL London Games.
