Chiefs Win, Cover Spread And Hit Total With Game-Ending, Otherwise Meaningless Fumble Return TD<em></em>
After wide receiver Josh Doctson dropped a pass that would have given Washington a go-ahead touchdown with less than a minute remaining, the team settled for a game-tying field goal.

Let's Check In On Jay Cutler's Enthusiasm Levels
When running the wildcat, where a tailback takes the direct snap and the quarterback lines up out wide, the QB’s one job is to look like a threat. Sure, he’s probably not going to be thrown the ball. But he should at least make it appear to be enough of a possibility to draw a defender. With that sa...

Late last night in the Seahawks’ 46-18 win over the Colts, rookie running back Chris Carson was tackled for no gain and ended up twisted down in a pile.

Ravens Fans Boo A Prayer Before The National Anthem

A Lovely And Sports-Filled Fall Sunday: Today's Guide To Ignoring The NFL
This is a really good time of the year for non-football fans.

Report: NFL Floated Plan For All Players to Wear “Team America” Patches

Stanford's Bryce Love Is The Real-Life Road Runner
