Patrick Mahomes is entering his Donovan McNabb era
The Kansas City Chiefs can point to a myriad of issues behind their offensive struggles, including Matt Nagy’s playcalling, but their rapid disarmament over the last two years has hit them where it hurts.

The Dolphins’ fatal flaw can’t be on the offensive side of the ball, can it?

The Avalanche can still make it look easy. The problem is, they don't often seem to want to
It hasn’t been the smoothest season for the Colorado Avalanche. They still lead the Central Division, because the Central is the division where everyone has mittens pinned to their jackets year round. There’s the Dallas Stars, sort of, and then a bunch of teams trying to figure out how doorknobs wo...
