It was a week of extremes for quarterback play across the league. Tua Tagovailoa nearly made history by leading the Miami Dolphins to 70 points. Patrick Mahomes was on the same pace vs. the Chicago Bears before leaving the game because of a minor ankle injury. Justin Herbert broke the record for completion percentage in […]
Bengals Won’t Go Far in AFC if Joe Burrow, Offense Doesn’t Improve
The Cincinnati Bengals survived Monday night, but only in the most superficial terms. They beat a middling Los Angeles Rams team in a 19-16 rock fight thanks to their defense and a quartet of field goals out of Evan McPherson. While the win is a godsend for avoiding an 0-3 start, it hardly felt that […]
2023 Miami Dolphins Offense Isn’t Just Good, It’s Historically Great
A show of sportsmanship is the only thing standing between the Miami Dolphins offense and the record books. Coach Mike McDaniel decided a kneel-down for an intentional turnover on downs was less humiliating for the Denver Broncos than being on the receiving end of the highest-scoring performance in NFL history. The Dolphins settled for a […]
San Francisco 49ers Have Pieces To Stay On Top of NFC
A quick peek at the San Francisco 49ers’ box score would have you thinking Thursday night’s 30-12 win over the New York Giants was just another day at the office. San Francisco scored exactly 30 points for the third game in a row and sealed a 3-0 start. The score made it seem there was […]
2023 NFL Week 3 QB Power Rankings: Jackson Takes His Game to New Level
Week 2 is when teams start to tell you all about themselves. Coaches have gone back to rewire what does and doesn’t work. Quarterbacks and receivers get real game reps to reflect on and shore up communication issues. Defenses take stock of how new offenses look around the league. The Week 1 rust wears away […]
Browns Lack Offensive Firepower to Compete in AFC Without Nick Chubb
Two weeks into the season, the Cleveland Browns are without the heart and soul of their offense. Star RB Nick Chubb suffered a knee injury in the second quarter of Monday night’s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Browns coach Kevin Stefanski already announced that Chubb will be out for the season, which is hardly a […]
Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys Finally Look Like Legitimate Contenders
Efficiency is the name of the game for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. A veteran in every sense of the word, Prescott is going to get the offense in the right play and keep the train on schedule. That’s been his game since he took over for Tony Romo in 2016. Prescott’s Week 2 shredding […]
Minnesota Vikings Are In Trouble, Luck Is Turning
The Minnesota Vikings made history last season: No team before them had ever won 11 one-score games in a season. The Vikings won every one of their one-score games and tiptoed their way to a 13-4 finish. No matter what befell them over the course of a game, they always managed to pull a rabbit […]
2023 NFL Week 2 QB Power Rankings: Josh Allen Still Elite Despite Shaky Start
Week 1 in the NFL is “Overreaction Week.” Months of pent-up football energy come pouring out over a single day, giving way to nuclear takes across the spectrum. We all know better than that, but an urge persists no matter how often we go through the process. It’s not our fault; it just means football […]
Jets Can’t Take Much Anticipated Next Step Without Aaron Rodgers
Three plays. One throwaway. No Aaron Rodgers. It seemed like a run-of-the-mill sack at first glance. Buffalo Bills DE Leonard Floyd wrapped himself around Rodgers’ lower half and brought him down the same way we see happen four or five times a game. Then, Rodgers sat on the grass in the middle of the huddle. […]
