NFL's Worst Rule Robs Steelers Of A Win Over Patriots
The NFL was exciting and likable for about two minutes in Pittsburgh this evening, so naturally, someone had to ruin the fun.

These Ryan Shazier Updates Don't Seem Reassuring
Normally, when a player sustains a brutal, scary injury in a game, his team and the NFL media machine rush to get out word that he’ll be okay.

Oh, God, This Was All So Brutal
Tonight’s Steelers-Bengals game was brutal—football that can charitably be described as “old-school” and accurately, necessarily described as “sickening.” The hits came and kept coming, with the injury count ticking upward.

Last night, they survived a scare from the Aaron Rodgers-less Packers, thanks to Chris Boswell’s walk-off 53-yard field goal. But we really need to talk about wide re...

JuJu Smith-Schuster Is Having A Ball
